Women Should Plan For The L nexpected Every year many women be come widows and suddenly find that they really don't know any thing about their own finan cial affairs. The reason is that husbands commonly take care of major financial matters and all too seldom does a couple sit down together and discuss what might happen if the man should die first. Talking about death is not a subject that is brought up at home very easily. "Since there are statistically four widows for every widower, the importance of a husband thoroughly briefing his wife on their family financial situation can’t be overstressed,” advises Kent Stoner, Regional Manager for the Allstate Life Insurance C ompany. Here are some things every wife should know: *The location and provisions oi all life and health insurance policies, including employe group coverage. *The location of all bank accounts, securities, cash, safe deposit boxes, and valuables. •The location of all records A public meeting for Mal of ownership for house, car, and heur County seasonal farm wor other major possessions. kers will be held at 8:30 p.m. What to do with the proceeds Sunday, October 8 at the Nyssa of life insurance policies must Resource Center to explain also be considered.

Bill Passed Congress For Burns Indian The U.S. House of Represen tatives, passing a bill sponsored by Congressman Al Ullman, took the fiyst step Tuesday toward the creation of a small, new Indian reservation in Ore gon. By a voice vote the House passed Ullman's bill putting 760 acres in trust for the Paiute Indian Colony near Burns in Harney County. Although the federal govern ment first set aside some land for the Paiute Indians in the Burns area just over 100 years ago, Ullman said, the colony has never had reservation status with specific land rights. Placing land "in trust’’ for the Indians means, in effect, the creation of a new reser vation, Ullman explained. Because the Indians have never had reservation status, Ullman said, they have been barred from participation in federal housing, employment and development programs which other tribes have been able to utilize. He said that up until now the Burns Indian people, while maintaining their homes in a commendable manner, have been reluctant to make exten sive improvements because of the loose, temporary legal status of the land. The colony has also been un able to make any offers to business and industry because the unclear land status pre vented the Indians from making any long-term leases. This has also prevented the city of Burns from undertaking employment and development programs involving Indian pro perty, Ullman said. By Odie Anderson Every year I stuff peppers and put them in my freezer for future use! So handy to have on hand. Green peppers are beautiful this fail and some are so large they may be divided for two servings. The recipe I used for the filling of the peppers is extra good and easily assembled. I chopped the onions and celery in the blender and the rest is a breeze. Green peppers may be frozen without blanching. They're the exception to the rule that all vegetables must be blanched be fore freezing. drain and cool. Stuff with cooked mixture. Place peppers in ba king pan. Bake 20 minutes, re move from oven and sprinkle with cheese, return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer at 350 degrees. Yield 6 servings. Ever hear of Grasshopper Pie? Now if we were in the Orient this might not sound so foolish but here we wonder! Actually the creme de menthe gives it the name. GRASSHOPPER PIE Filling 18 marshmellows 1/2 cup milk 3 tablespoons creme de menthe syrup (green) 1 tsp peppermint flavoring 1 cup cream, whipped Chocolate shot Place marshmellows and milk in saucepan and heat on medium heat until marsh mellows melt.

Free Wilderness Permits Needed In National Forests The free permit system that was started this year for visi tors to Wilderness areas within the National Forests will con tinue year around, the U.S. Forest Service reports. Hunters, ski touring parties and others w ho visit Wilderness in the fall and winter are re minded to obtain a permit be fore their trips. Permits may be obtained by mail or in per son from any Forest Service office in Washington and Oregon. With the coming of fall. National Forest and Ranger District offices frequently will open only five days a week, and some guard stations where permits have been issued in summer will be closed Wilderness users are to be complimented on their coopera tion with the Wilderness per mit system put into effect this year for National Forest Wil derness in Oregon and Washington, said Regional Forester Theodore A. Schlap- fer. More than 70 percent of Wil derness visitors have volun tarily applied for the free per mits. “This is remarkable,” Schlapfer said, “considering that the permit system is new and that Wilderness visitors come from all over the Nation.” The permit system has given Forest officers a chance to talk with visitors about Wil derness management and to sug gest places to go in Wilder ness that are less congested. Permits will be tabulated and analyzed this winter to provide information about where visi tors come from, where they go, size of groups, number of visitors, numbers of hikers and horsemen, and other infor mation needed to plan effective Wilderness administration There are 14 Wilderness areas in the National Forests of Oregon and Washington that are part of the National Wil derness Preservation System. Colleges For Oregon Opp ose Ballot Measure The board of directors of Colleges for Oregon’s Future has gone on record for the de feat of State Ballot Measure No. 9, according to Robert D. Holmes, former governor and chairman of the statewide citi zens organization. Reasons that Colleges for Oregon's Future gives for op posing the proposed constitu tional amendment which would prohibit the use of property taxes for schools are: 1. The measure offers no alternate for the funds that would be lost. 2. Certain referral and al most certain defeat would face any plan the Legislature might enact to substitute for the lost funds. 3. Irreparable harm wouldbe done "to our public schoolsand I I I I I I I I I I our community colleges.” 4. A "certain consequence" would be loss of millions Öldol lars of state funds for higher education and would do great harm to public colleges and universities. 5. Increased tuition and fees would place additional burdens upon students and their families. 6. The level of "educational and occupational training op portunity--our best investment in the future--would be tra gically diminished for Ore gonians." The resolution also urges Oregonians "to commit them selves to striving for a con structive and responsible pro gram of tax reform that will not destroy our educational fu ture."
