•Last week the U.S.
Army announced it will
cut back an estimated 35
civilian positions at the
Umatilla Army Depot
by June. The depot cur-
rently employees three
military personnel and
more than 200 civilians.
The cutbacks, which have
been expected for several
months, are being made at
the request of the Depart-
ment of the Army and U.S.
Army Material Command.
AMC recently announced
that up to 12,000 civilian
positions throughout the
Army could be affected.
The Department of the
Army could offer volun-
tary early retirement if the
Office of Personnel Man-
agement allows it. Under
an “early out” offer, the
minimum retirement age
is reduced, which allows
those who are within a few
years of retirement to take
an “early out” and not lose
as many benefits as if they
quit or retired without the
age reduction. The dif-
ference could mean thou-
sands of dollars to some
employees who opt for an
“early out”.
•And now comes the
glad tiding from Game
Warden Tonkin to Henry
Hitt of this city to the
effect that instead of the
duck and goose hunting
season closing this year
on the 31st of this month,
the hunting of these birds
is to be permitted to con-
tinue up to January 15,
next and also that hunt-
ers will have the right to
shoot migratory birds of
the above species one-half
hour before sunrise as well
as a half hour past sunset.
Though federal law pro-
vides that the open season
on ducks and geese closes
in Oregon on December
31, it is now evidently the
intention of the state game
authorities to follow the
state law this year. The
happy news comes in the
nature of a Christmas gift
to the hunters, and the state
authorities are deserving
of much praise for bring-
ing this about, inasmuch
as the fair weather condi-
tions that have prevailed
this fall did not permit
very good hunting.
•H.J. Stillings, breeder
of purebred Poland-China
hogs, this week sold a boar
to Henry Buholts, who
came from Pilot Rock to
purchase the animal, for
which he paid $40. The
mate to that hog was sold
last week and shipped to
Dayton, Wash., bringing
$50. Mr. Stillings says
the demand for purebred
Poland-China stock has
been the best he has ever
witnessed at this time of
the year.

•Stephen Truckositz,
vice principal of Hermis-
ton Junior High School,
was appointed to the city
council by Mayor Wal-
ter Pearson, with coun-
cil approval. Truckositz
fills a vacancy created
when Councilman Carl
Peters moved out of the
ward from which he was
elected. Truckositz pre-
viously served on the
council for one elective
term following a term to
which he was originally
appointed to fill a vacancy.
At the last election, he
declined to be a candidate
again.

•Approximately $880
in cash was stolen in a
break-in at Riverside
High School, reports Ron
Daniels, Morrow County

is in a separate building,
and took a cutting torch,

• Mrs. L.S. Burrell,
