Abstract in Heppner.
St. Jude Children's Hospital,
founded in 1962 by the late
entertainer Danny Thomas, is
the largest non-profit childhood
cancer research center in
America in terms of the
number of patients treated and
treatment success. All findings
and information gained at the
hospital are shared freely with
doctors and hospitals all over
the world. Thanks to St. Jude
Hospital, children who have
leukemia, Hodgkin's disease,
sickle-cell anemia, and other
life-threatening diseases now
have a better chance to live.
This year's Bike-A-Thon
poster child, eight year old
Shauna Richters, represents all
of the patients treated at St.
Jude Hospital. Shauna was
diagnosed with Wilms' tumor,
a malignant growth on her left
kidney, in December of 1990.
Shauna is in remission from
her cancer and completed her
chemotherapy (anti-cancer
drugs) in June 1991. She is do
ing well and returns to St. Jude
Hospital every six months for
checkups. Shauna celebrated
her last chemotherapy trea-
ment with a present she had
eagerly looked forward to, a
new bike.

Russian professors to discuss war
Two Russian professors and
a retired U.S. foreign service of
ficer will meet with students at
Heppner High School Wednes
day, April 19, to discuss the
Cold War.
Professor Nina Nikolaevna
Kazakova, with the Depart
ment of Foreign Languages at
the State Pedagogical Institute
at Kirov, Russia, Professor
Stanislav Vladimirovich Silin-
sky, professor of philology (the
study of literature, linguistics or
speech) at St. Petersburg State
University at St. Petersburg,
Russia, both Fulbright research
Scholars at the University of
Oregon, and Robert Willner,
retired U.S. Foreign Service of

the Oregon International
Council, will be at the high

They plan to make a presenta

high school teachers.

Give correct social security number
You'll avoid delay in your
federal income tax refund if the
Social Security number on your
tax return is correct, reminds
Alice Mills Morrow, Oregon
State University Extension
family economics specialist.
The Internal Revenue Service
will make sure you provided
the correct Social Security
number before it pays your
refund.
In past years, IRS matched
names and social security
ndfnbers of taxpayers and their
spouses. This year, it will also
check the names and numbers
of all dependents listed on
refunds. Dependents age one
and older must have a social
security number. Check the
Social Security number on your
W-2 statement. If it does not
match the one on your card, tell
your employer.

Heppner city ordinances dating back into the 1880s have been
updated or repealed in the organization of some 500 plus regula
tions. One outdated law that was still on the books prohibited
borrowing the city fire department's horses-the kind that eat
hay and are not diesel fueled.
Back then perhaps an industrious person thought that those
idle horses needed exercise. So in order to cultivate a garden spot
that person hooked up those haybumers to a walking plow. There
must not have been any spare horses to pull a manual pumper
when a fire broke out.
Judging from some of the town's disastrous fires of that era,
a bucket brigade was just about as effective as using that anti
que equipment. Quite a contrast to the city's updated fire depart
ment. Dedicated volunteer firefighters today routinely train and
test equipment to ensure preparedness.
However firefighters are no longer permitted to ride on the
back of a fire truck due to safety precautions. Compare that to
when fire fighters rushed to harness horses and galloped to fires,
minus protective clothing, with coat tails flying.
Local government has been cognizant of the need to update
equipment and nulify regulations that are no longer applicable.
Yet I wonder if there are ordinances that prohibit spitting on
sidewalks or if a building permit is needed to construct a tree
house. As to the city's dog problem, it seems that Fido, no mat
ter how obnoxious, can retain his freedom as long as he keeps
his owner's identity a secret.
Like other changes, it seems that young people reared on ce
ment sidewalks now need to be introduced to nature. Those
lessons used to come naturally when youngsters played baseball
on a rocky field or wallowed in the dust while shooting marbles.
Kids today wouldn't know how to hand hoe a potato patch
or clean out a chicken house, but as much as I used to pro
crastinate at those tasks, it was very obvious as the where the
food on the table came from.
This month Morrow County will be hosting Centennial Mid
dle School eighth graders to educate them about agriculture and
forestry. Too bad this can't include all urban dwellers who seem
to think all food and other commodities are produced in a
supermarket.
In the past those urban youngsters have expressed surprise
in finding out that people here don't still live in log cabins, a
popular notion to romanticize the west. Even some of our own
town youngsters don't grasp that all agriculture production isn't
done with big, expensive equipment. It still takes manual work
to build fences, rogue wheat, brand cattle and produce lumber
along with assembly line workers in food processing plants.
Many of those city youngsters may go away believing that rural
lifestyles are for the birds. However I'm sure most folks here
would agree that our less stressful and less fearful environment
has many advantages when it comes to turning our youth into
productive citizens.
