The proposal authorizes the bishop of anv diocese to substi lute modern languages f o r Latin in the breviary or divine office which Catholic clergymen must say daily. Must Be Granted A council press spokesman emphasized that the permission to use modern languages in the divine office must be granted by a bishop "in individual cas es" and is supposed to be re served for situations in which a particular priest has unusual difficulties praying in Latin. He said the text of the docu ment stresses that Latin ordi narily will be maintained in the breviary and indicated that bishops were not expected to use their new authority to grant blanket dispensations for use of modern languages. The vote was 1.904 to 1,11, well above the necessary two thirds majority. Nationwide Power Pool Endorsed SPOKANE (UPIi-Northwest memoers oi inc isauonai nurai Electric Cooperative Association1.

"We have the equipment to run it. I am the only farmer on I the court and know more about this operation than you do," he told County Judge Earl M. Mil ler and County Commissioner Donald E. Faber. The other two court members approved a motion to lease the property to Joseph P. Dugan, Valleyview Road, Ashland, in spite of Taylor's objections. Raises Grain Crops Dugan said he has raised gram crops on the land and has leased it for four years. He gave the court a check for $790.12 as the county's share of crop proceeds. It is leased on a share - crop basis, the county receiving one-third of the crop. Both Miller and Faber said the county did not have enough equipment to farm the addition al property. "This county is not in the farm business. I think eventual ly we should dispose of the land," Miller said. "I am a bigger farmer than you are," Faber said. "I am op posed to selling the property, but if we arc going to have trouble over it, I think we should go ahead and sell it." The agronomy station prop erty was vacated when t h e agronomy operation was shifted to the new Southern Oregon Branch Experiment Station property on Hanley Road near Jacksonville.
