names marshal
Earl Malkson was elected
city marshal to succeed Albert
Julian and R.E. Guenther was
chosen water works superin-
tendent at a meeting of the City
Council Tuesday evening. The
salaries in each instance were
fixed at $1,500 a year with the
stipulation that automobiles
should be furnished by the of-
ficials at private expense.
Residence outside of the city
which made difficult the per-
formance of his duty to the city
was given by Julian as a reason
for his resignation.

Jan. 2, 1947 — Growers ask
city to act as agent
Directors of the central Ore-
gon Potato Growers association
met in the county agent’s office
Tuesday morning and decided
to ask the city of Redmond to
act as agent for the growers in
bidding for the purchase of 12
airbase buildings from the War
Assets administration.
The Potato Growers asso-
ciation is among several local
groups interested in purchas-
ing various of the 34 buildings
being offered for public sale. If
the growers’ bid is successful,
their buildings will be used as
a permanent farm labor camp.
Carl Coad presided at Tues-
day’s meeting.

mond City Council last night
to introduce himself, and
ended up revealing that Cen-
tral Oregon is one of three
areas in the state under con-
sideration for a National Aero-
nautics and Space Administra-
tion (NASA) project.
The project would involve
U-2 high altitude aerial pho-
tography, combined with data
available through local, state
and federal agencies in the
area. A single photo might
cover an entire county.
The area chosen must have
varied topography and agen-
cies willing to assist NASA,
related Reeck, who said he got
the impression that this area
was being considered favor-
ably. A range management spe-
cialist from Oregon State Uni-
versity, which would receive
$75,000 for the project, was in
Central Oregon last week ex-
ploring local possibilities.
Reeck, who officially is an
administrative assistant to the
Deschutes County Commis-
sion, but has been acting as
coordinator of the Central Or-
egon intergovernmental coun-
cil, also asked that Mayor Ger-
old Barrett name an alternative
to attend COIG meetings in
his absence. Councilman Buck
Kidd was chosen. At the next
COIG meeting, Jan. 17, del-
egates will consider which is
most needed for the tri-county
area — a housing study or a
transportation study.
During the short council
meeting which proceeded Re-
eck’s presentation, unanimous
authorization was given to:
• Retaining Clark & Groff
consulting engineers, at a cost
of $1,350, to design and rec-
ommend improvements in the
heating and filtering system at
the municipal swimming pool
and to the heating system at

Ranch residents could save
themselves some driving miles
with the opening of a local
bank.
The Prineville bank plans
to open a 1,500-square-foot
branch office in Terrebonne.
The bank will anchor a small
mall scheduled for construc-
tion at the corner of B Avenue
and Highway 97, north of the
BP station.
The Prineville bank is wait-
ing for regulatory approval
from the state before formally
announcing its plans, but it
hopes to open by March or
April.
Marketing research found
the site attractive because of
the large population base in
Crooked River Ranch and the
area surrounding Terrebonne,
according to vice president
Todd Vallie.
The branch will be a full-ser-
vice operation, including
drive-up teller, safe deposit
boxes and ATMs.
The proposed Terrebonne
branch fits the bank’s niche,
Vallie said.
“We formed in Prineville in
the late 1970s and early ‘80s for
the purpose of being a small
local bank,” he said. “We are
excited about being invited
into Terrebonne.“
The bank also has branches
in Bend and La Pine.
That local personal touch
is what will attract customers,
Vallie said.
All Prineville bank branches
have lending officers on site
with authority to make loan
decisions, he said. “Even if the
loan request is above their lim-
its, it only goes to Prineville,
not Los Angeles,” he said.
