! PROCLAMATION f
: VJPRING, with its glorious
bounty of growing things, is
i once again upon us, making !
the winter's accumulation of
I tin cans, ashes, garbage and
rubbish an eyesore and a
menace to the health and
happiness of our citizens. It ;
is not only fitting, but the
: personal and civic pride in- I
herent in mankind, should
: make it mandatory, for ev- i
5 eryone to clean his premises :
of all trash, dirt and filth at
I this time. :
Therefore, I, W. G. McCar-

Heppncr, in accordance with i
established custom, do here-

A clean, attractive City Beautiful
is the objective sought by Mayor
McCarty and the city council in
setting Monday, April 18, as Clean
up Day In Heppner, when it is ex
pected that all property holders of
the city will have their premises in
ship-shape with rubbish, sacked or
barrelled, placed at the street curb
to be picked up by trucks provided
at city expense. This action was
taken by the council Monday eve
ning. Also made was a readjust
ment of water rates intended to
lighten the burden on users of wa
ter for irrigation and announce
ment of the abandonment of the
new city hall idea for the present
The clean-up day on April 18, to
be carried out in the customary
manner of past years, and the wa
ter rate readjustment are both
steps of the council to encourage
residents to improve their property
that all may have more sanitary
and more beautiful surroundings.
The opportunity is provided to take
advantage of springtime's invigor
ating weather to got grounds clean
ed, lawns and gardens started, and
to keep them growing throughout
the summer when lawns and gar
dens are greatly appreciated by ev
eryone. Mayor McCarty makes a special
appeal for cooperation in his proc
lamation displayed at the beginning
of this article.
.New Rates Explained.
In endorsing the readjustment of
water rates the water committee,
composed of Councilmen Anderson,
Goodman and Cox, signified that it
was the intention to encourage use
of water, for irrigating that lawns
and flowers might be kept growing
through the summer, but that it
was necessary to keep the revenue
because of the irreducible amount
up to approximately the same level
required to pay operations of the
water department and to meet In
terest payments and bond retire
ment, They proposed the new
schedule as being a more equitable
method of raising the required
money without penalizing those
who use the water purely for the
satisfaction of personal and civic
pride In the Improvement of their
property.
The readjustment, authorized by
.the council, calls for increasing the
minimum rate 50 cents on the first
1000 gallons of water to business
and professional houses and offices,
making the rate $2.00, and reduces
the rate to residences from 15 cents
to 10 cents a 1000 gallons on each
1000 after the first 13,000 gallons.
The rate to residences now Is $1.50
for the first 1000, 50 cents a 1000
for the next 2000, 15 cents a 1000
for the next 10,000, and 10 cents a
1000 for ench 1000 gallons thereaf
ter. It was pointed out that while
each business and professional man
would pay 50 cents a month more
for water at his store or office, this
50 cents would pay for 5,000 gallons
more water to use for irrigating at
homo. It was estimated that the
average home uses 8,000 gallons a
month for domestic purposes, and
that 10,000 gallons more may be

tion of Earl W. Gordon, Lions' pro
gram chairman, the farm bureau
holding a short business session
with Dan Lindsay as chairman.
Community singing of old fa
vorite songs under Mr. Gordon's
direction assisted .by Frank W.
Turner, served to create a feeling
of good fellowship at the opening
of the program, that prevailed
throughout.
The Heppner school band, under
the direction of Harold Buhman,
played several selections before the
meeting took up, and kept the time
from lagging by playing at Inter
vals throughout the evening, re
ceiving fine appreciation of their
efforts.
S. E. Notson, district attorney,
made the evening's address, carry
ing a verbal message of good will,
supplied with cryptic comment on
live topics of the day and a goodly
amount of humor.

from Alpine were presented with
their winning pieces, as was also

man, Miss Marjorie Clark, Mrs. W.
R. Poulson and Mrs. Lucy E. Rod-
gers.
Miss Mary Moore was graciously
received in two vocal solo selec
tions, beautifully sung, and Miss

All Businesses to Pay.
Another rate adjustment was
made by ordering the watermaster
to charge the minimum $2.00 rate
to all business and professional es
tablishments, whether located in
hotels, apartment houses or Indi
vidual buildings.
In announcing the abandonment
of the new city hall plan for the
present because the limit of city
indebtedness had been reached and
no method of financing the venture
could be found, Dean T. Goodman,
councilman advocate of the plan,
asserted that steps should be taken
at least by fall to start construction
on a unit of the building to house
the Are truck and drying room for
hose to obviate the necessity of go
ing through another winter under
conditions which prevailed last
winter.

GRADE TEACHER CHOSEN.
Edward F. Bloom, elected super
intendent of Heppner schools for
the coming school year, was in at
tendance at the school board meet
ing Tuesday evening, driving over
from Athena. He came to assist the
board in the selection of new teach
ers, which was the main business
of the evening. - Laurence E. Win
ter of Eugene, the announcement
of whose election to the position
of physical education instructor
was made in last week's issue of
the G. T., decided not to accept the
place, and this made it necessary
to choose another man. George
W. Mabee of Corvallis was elected,
the board at this time being assur
ed that Mr. Mabee would accept.
The position of teacher in the
grades, two places being open, was
only filled in part. Miss Juanita
Crawford of Richland, Oregon, be
ing elected to the 7th grade. The
other place vacant is the third
grade and the board expects to
come to a decision on this within
a few days.
Taxpayers of School District No.
1 will be interested to know that a
very substantial reduction in the
tax levy has been secured for the
coming year, the result of the cut
made in the budget. According to
Assesor Wells, this reduction In
millage over last year is exactly 25
per cent. What is equal to a ten
per cent reduction in teachers' sal
aries was secured in the budget by
doing away with the position of
principal in the high school. There
were also other cuts in overhead
expenses that brought the total
down to a basis of strict economy.
BUSINESS WOMEN ELECT.
The Business and Professional
Womens club elected new officers
at their meeting Monday evening
at the home of Mrs. W. R. Poul
son, president Elected were Mrs.
Lucy E. Rodgers, president; Mrs.

Clark and Mrs. Ann Merrill. A
progressive dinner is planned for
the next meeting with Madge Cop-
pock, Adelyn O'Shea, Lucy Rodgers
and Beth Bleakman as hostesses.
The club subcribed to the state or
ganization policy of "lending sup
port toward helping to solve the
great problem of unemployment;
doing all in its power to promote
the success of President Hoover's
anti-hoarding campaign; to help,
each in its own way, to spend, but
to spend wisely; to patronize local
merchants and home industries,
and to encourage their growth and
success."

LIONS ATTEND
FARM MEETINGS
Reports Given of Alpine Farm Bu
reau and Pomona Grange Af
fairs; River Aid Talked.
The Lions club Monday interested
itself in reports of the Alpine Farm
Bureau meeting Saturday for which
the club provided the program, and
the Pomona grange meeting at
Boardman which was attended by
several of the club members.
Presented by C. W. Smith, presi
dent as worthy of thorough con
sideration of the club was the mat
ter of barge transportation on the
Columbia river, news of late de
velopments of which was carried
in the daily press that morning.
The dispatch said that a Portland
company intended putting a new
boat on the river in the near future
and was contemplating setting up
trucking service in connection for
the purpose of carrying wheat into
Portland. The new boat will have
a hauling capacity of 250 tons and
will run at far as The Dalles, s
Earl W. Gordon, program chair
man, reported the Alpine meeting
as succeessful, commending the
hospitality of the Alpine folks, and
especially thanking the local peo
ple who assisted the club in pre
senting the program. The club
gave a rising vote of thanks to the
Business and Professional Womens
club and the others who assisted.
Several of the members reported
enjoying the Pomona grange meet
ing at Boardman, praising the hos
pitality shown to visitors. Among
highlights of the grange meeting
was cited the address of Mrs. Cor
nelia Marvin Pierce, a member of
the state board of higher education,
who told what the board was at
tempting to do in its so-called "un
ification" plan.
Mrs. Pierce said the board had
acted on facts brought out by a
survey made by educational lead
ers of the country which showed
the per capita cost of higher edu
cation in Oregon to be higher than
in any other state in the United
States. It is the intention of the
board to bring the cost of higher
educaion down to an economical
basis by eliminating duplicated de
partments at the state college and
university, bringing them under one
head at either Eugene or Corvallis.
It is expected to have a chancellor
or president in charge of all the
higher educational institutions of
the state, including the normal
schools, with a sub-head in charge
of each institution. There will be
one dean for each school, though
different departments of the school
may be located at different places,
in order that the work in each
school may be properly correlated.
The board is also striving toward
greater democracy among students
of the state schools, Mrs. Pierce
said.
