For 1947 Program
Directors of the Heppner

1947. Other officers chosen in
cluded Jack O'Conor, first vice
president; Orville Smith, second
vice president; Frank Davis, sec
retary, and B. C. Pinckney, trea
surer. Officer election followed the
naming of one-half of the board
of director's at Monday's lunch
eon meeting of the group. At
that time the terms of Harry Van
Horn, O. G. Crawford, Dr. Tib
bies, K. A. House and F. W. Tur
ner expired. Crawford and Tib
bies were re-elected, Don Fleck
and C. J. D. Bauman elected,

P. W. Mahoney, L. E. Dick Jr.,
Loyal Parker, Jack O'Connor, L.
D. Tibbies, Orville Smith, C. J.
D. Bauman, Don Fleck and O. G.
Crawford.
The directors discussed roads
and other matters looking to fu
ture development here. It is
more than likely the chamber of
commerce will sponsor delega
tions to attend meetings of the
state highway commission in the
interest of highways in and lead
ing to this county. Cooperation
with the county court in present
ing road matters to the commis
sion Is deemed worthwhile and
will be carried out
It was pointed out that the
highway commission is asking
for bids on two units of the
RuggsHardmah stretch of the
Heppner-Spray highway. One is
for five miles of grading and oil
ing from the Rhea creek Junc
tion to the foot of Hardman hill,
the other for three and six
tenths miles of grading, widen
ing and surfacing (oiling) of the
Hardman hlll-Hardman stretch.
An earlier bid on this work was
rejected by the commissinn on
the contention that the price was
too high..
Three years ago the chamber
of commerce was assured that
oiling would be completed thru
from Ruggs to the mouth of Clia
pin creek when work could be
resumed. It will be the purpose
of the chamber to follow thru
on this and urge extension of
the work beyond Hardman.
