IIIIII I U I n Senior Citiz ns The Seniors had a very lovely dinner Tuesday, pre- pared by the senior cook, June Cook. Forty-five meals were prepared and served. Two guests were present. The cooks helper June Davis was ill, hurry and get well June. The afternoon Kinder- garten class came to sing for the Seniors. They were joined in their last song by the Seniors. The generations of the elderly and the young sang together and enjoyed each other. The Seniors owe a very big thank-you to their tea- cher June Derrie, and the mothers that accompanied them. They would like to thank Jewell Woods for the very beautiful flowers which she so willingly brings each esday for our tables, we enjoy them during dinner, then the patients at the hospital will enjoy them.

Plans are in the making for the American Legion dinner, November 12th, which the Seniors are preparing and serving.

The card party was not very well attended, but those that did attend had a grand time. No prizes were given due to the small crowd. Tuesdays weather made us think of winter, with the blustery north wind and the noted that "all Americans have been affected in one form or another by rising energy costs. But the eld- erly, many of whom live on limited incomes, are among those experiencing t h e greatest hardships and dep- rivation." Energy costs for elderly households with income not exceeding $5,000 increased from between 45 per cent in the Western United States to nearly 68 per cent in the North Central S t a t e s between 1973 and 1976, Church noted. "Increases in Social Secu- rity and Supplemental Secu- rity Income," the Senator added, "have fallen far be- hind rising energy costs in recent years. Yet, these pro- grams are the economic mainstay for the vast major- ity of older A m e r i c a n s. Social Security and SSI bene- fits increased about 30 per cent between 1973 and 1976. However, energy costs rose at a much more accelerated rate during this same period: 42 per cent for electricity, 58 per cent for natural gas, and 83 per cent for fuel off." Last winter, many older Americans were faced with monthly heating bills that ranged from $150 to $300, while trying to exist on Social Security, which averages $234 a month for a retired worker. "The refundable tax credit can provide welcome and overdue relief for more than 10 million eligible elderly households, and more than 6 million older Americans who live alone," Church said. cold rain. Wednesday looks llke another beautiful day. rai1 flfe Have a nice week and we will • LJ ~ see you for dinner Tuesday. Your Reporter Tax credit The Senate today adopted an amendment sponsored by Senators Church and Pete Domenici to provide a refundable ~ credit of $75 to elderly households with adjusted gross incomes not exceeding $7,500 a year. The refund is designed to provide relief from rising energy costs for persons aged 65 or older, especially The Council Valley Gran- ger's met on Oct. 28 with Orley Hart presiding in the absence of Master Lloyd Brown. The problem of the worn out fence pests holding up the wires between the Grange property and Luther Taylor was discussed. Bill C.den Probst, and Lester Gould were encou- raged to repair the fence. Helen Gould was asked to be chairman of the project to replace the faded curtains. Margaret Merk presented the program. ~I Jr' The worldwide boom in irrigation is putting a serious s t r a i n on already-tight energy resources, agricul- tural researches w e r e warned Wednesday by Dr. Marvin E. Jensen, director of the Snake River Conserva- tion Research C e n t e r, Kimberly, Idaho. Jensen, a scientist of the Agricultural Research Ser- vice, U.S. Department of Agriculture, was a featured speaker at the University of Missouri seminar on climate and agricultural technology this week. Irrigated world cropland is increasing at a rapid rate -- from 551 million irrigated acres in 1975 to an estimated Hearings on a bill to postpone for one year any increase in fees charged by federal agencies for grazing cattle and sheep on public lands are being held in the House Interior Committee. Congressman S t e v e Symms, R-Idaho, a co- sponsor of the bill and a member of the House Interior Committee, said the one-year delay would give Congress time to study pos- sible alternatives to the new grazing fee proposal. The proposal by the Bureau of Land Manage- ment and the Forest Service called for a 25 per cent increase in grazing fees for next year. Symms said the proposed 25 per cent hike is about four 670 million acres in 1990, times the national inflation Jensen pointed out. rate. "While the dollar High consumption of amounts involved may seem energy is characteristic of small by national bugetary many new irrigation installa- tions, he said. "We are seeing a rapid increase in sprinkler irriga- tion systems which require standards, they are extremely significant to the livestock industry." "The livestock industry is in a depressed economic more energy than surface position now and the situa- systems. For delivery of tion has been aggravated by irrigation water, the use of the drought in the West," ground water supplies andSymms Said. "The federal high pumping lifts from rivers is increasing faster than the use of w a t e r delivered to the farm by gravity," Jensen explained. Research in irrigation technology must be expan- ded in order to find ways for using water and energy more efficiently in the future, Jenaen said. The Idaho scientist out- lined specific research needs government should not com- plicate the problems by increasing grazing f e e s astronomically." Symms said the ideal for- mula for grazing fees should tie the fee to production costs and the market situa- tion, a position earlier rejected by the BLM and the Forest Service. Under the BLM-F o r e s t Service regulations, grazing for water conservation and fees would be increased by irrigation and his proposals 25 per cent in 1979, 1980, were discussed by a pannel and possible, 1981. After of experts in the fields of 1981, annual increases or agricultural engineering, decreases would be limited agronomy, atmospheric sci- to 12 per cent. ence, agricultural economics and rural sociology. The two-fold objective of the climate-agricultural tech- nology seminar was to iden- tify gaps irt ng seientific knowledge and to establish priorities for new agricul- tural research projects at the university of Missouri.
