But instead of purchasing more goods and services, here are some other ideas that may improve your financial situation, says Carol Michael-Bennett, Oregon State University Extension home economist in Morrow County. Use tax refunds to reduce credit card balances, suggests Michael-Bennett. Credit cards are a high cost method of bor rowing. After lowering the balance, make the largest pay ment possible each month. If borrowers make what the credit card company says is the mini mum payment, it will take a long time to pay off the balance. Also try to limit the use of credit cards, advises Michael- Bennett. Cut them up if neces sary. Use tax refunds to start an emergency fund or add to an existing one. Generally, an emergency fund should equal two to six months of normal spending. The Internal Reve nue Service can deposit re funds directly into savings ac counts simply by attaching IRS form 8888 to tax returns. Contribute to an individual retirement account, or IRA. Employees who do not have a qualified retirement plan may contribute to a tax-deductible IRA and employees who have a qualified retirement plan may, depending on income, qualify for a tax deduction. In formation on an IRA is avail able in IRS publication 590.

Morrow County received $752; the City of Heppner, $403; Lexington, $78; lone, $68; Boardman, $591 and Irrigon, $244.
