It was reported that the legislative chairman was recent ly injured in a car accident and was unable to be present. Ag chairman Barton Clark, turned the floor over to the state ag chairman, who gave an in teresting report on irrigation and the troubles surrounding this pro ject. He said that the sheep in dustry is at present having a downturn, but things hopefully will be better soon. Canola is a great crop for this area, he said, and in some places seem to be outdoing the wheat. Commercial mustard is also being studied, he said. Mike Medlock gave a report on letters recently received from the forest service, and new opera tions and rules that are in the offering. Barton Clark, Roger Scharen and Roberta Medlock were ap pointed to the resolution committee. The Umatilla County degree team will be present at the Spray Grange meeting in April to give the 5th degree as it has not been given in that area for several years. Verla Larson spoke on the GWA work, urging members to take a bigger part in the contests at the state level. She said that they definitely need more cookies each year. Each Pomona is being asked to make a quilt block for the quilt that will be raffled off at the state session in June. Dot Halvorsen will make the quilt for Wheatland.

Mrs. George recently attend ed a meeting in LaGrande of the judicial department employees.

A dinner and cake walk was held. The program consisted of several duets on the Omnicord and violin by Frances Smouse and daughter Cheryln. Eric Four nier, an exchange student who makes his home at the Gary Munkers home in Lexington gave an interesting talk on his home Quebec, Canada.

Students attend school for 11 years instead of 12. The alphabet is the same letters as ours but the spelling of words are different. He showed a health card, and how it works in Canada. He said he can present it to any hospital and doctor and receive medical attention. Col lege is less expensive there as it is financed by the government, except the books and lodging at about $3,000 a year. These are supported by a high sales tax in that area of 15 percent. There is less gang crime in Quebec but is bad in any of the large cities, he said. His father is employed with the Indian economy and his mother works as a manager for a men’s boutique. Frances Smouse was escorted to the master’s station and receiv ed a certificate from Verla Lar son for a donation to abused children’s funds.

Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughaa, Chamber Manager If you pass by the Chamber of fice, you’ll run into at least three leprechauns planning St. Pat's shenanigans. With only four weeks to go, they’re hard at it. Two of the fellows will be auc tioned off at the St. Pat’s auction with an option to have a family name lettered on their shamrock lapel. Brochures with celebration schedules and posters are now available at the Chamber office. Heppnerites are encouraged to stop by, so celebration informa tion can be publicized far and wide. It’s important to target peo ple with RV’s and those who live within a day’s drive. The celebra tion is offering new events along with the old familiar. Those who celebrate long and hard can have breakfast with the Heppner firemen before they retire for the night. Families will enjoy a return of the Wham A Diddle Dingbats and a possible return of the little lambs during intermission on Saturday night. Stay tuned for more. Next week the Chamber mem bership will be reviewing the 1994 draft of the goals, working on the plan of action, and form ing committees for the year, as well as soliciting additional auc tion items. Give a call if you have an item you would be able to donate to help keep the celebra tion going.
