County Meet Here
For Track Events
Former Annual
Meet Reactivated
At Rodeo Grounds
The re-activation of the annual
Morrow County grade school and
track meet was a happy and
successful event of last Friday.
Sixty pupils, both boys and
girls of the fifth, sixth, seventh,
and eighth grades participated
and represented Irrigon, lone,

psomoted by the staff of the
Heppner school. Mr. Juett was
chairman of the planning com
mittee and the meet was run
off under the able direction of
Mr. Whitbeck.

with the enthusiasm and spirit
of the contestants and visiting
faculty members complimentary
toward the ease and efficiency

Highway Commission
Grants $75,000 For
Wasco Heppner Road
Possibility that travel to cen
tral Oregon may be shortened by
the coming winter is seen in the
highway commission'e action in
setting aside $75,000 for im
proving 11.5 miles of unimprov
ed dirt road on the Wasco-Hepp-ner
secondary highway. The
commission directed that this
stretch be graded and gravelled
during the current year.
People traveling to and from
Sherman county points from over
this way have been using the
route some and are looking for
ward to completion of the work
which will enable motorists to
save many miles between this
section adn central Oregon
points.
Another piece of work ordered
by the commission calls for re
surfacing of the Willow Creek
highway from Heppner Junction
to the Gilliam county line.

Career Closes For
Oregon's Oldest
Elected Official
Death came to Leon W. Briggs,
90-year-old treasurer of Morrow
county, at 9:55 this morning at
the -family residence in Heppner.
He had been failing for several
months and in recent weeks had
been confined at home most of
the time.
Funeral services will be held
at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the Meth
odist church, with the pastor, J.
Palmer Sorlien officiating and
arrangements in charge of the
Phelphs Funeral Home. It was
his wish that flowers not be sent
but that money be given to the
church for missionary work as a
memorial to him.
Although not a life-long resi
dent of Heppner, Mr. Briggs was
one of the oldest members of the
pioneer group of which but few
remain. He was connected with
various commercial enterprises
until becoming county treasurer,
in which capacity he has served
for many years. It was his hope
to continue as treasurer for at
least another term in the early
part of the present primary cam-

Rural School District Board Calls Second
Budget Election For Afternoon of June 8
Faced with making a decision
on whether to call a second elec
tion on the budget which was de.
feated in Monday's election, the
Rural School Board met at the
office of the superintendent in
the court house Tuesday eve
ning and after discussing the
situation passed a motion that
a second election be held at the
earliest possible date, which will
be June 8.
The decision was made after
receiving requests from the Irri
gon and Boardman school boards
and semi-official action of the
Heppner board.
In making the decision the
board wanted it understood that
the facilities of the superinten
dent's office would be used to an.
nounce the election and to pre
pare the ballots and such other
material pertaining to taking the
vote, but that there will be no
campaigning unless the indivi
dual districts wish to accept that
responsibility on their own ac
count. The board feels that its
obligation was discharged in
preparing the budget and con
ducting the regular election,
that a good job had been done
and that the ony interest it has
in a second election is to carry
out the wishes of the individual
districts.
Should the second election be
on the negative side, the separate
districts have the privilege of
calling their own budget elec
tions, provided they are held
prior to July 15.
Members of the board feel that
a lack of understanding regard
ing the budget was responsible
in a measure for its defeat. Ef
f ' 1
' ' ' 1
,- , I
paign announced his candidacy.
He later withdrew when his
health began to break.
A challenge to the other coun
ties of the state to produce an
older elected public official was
never accepted and it was Mr.
Brigg's belief that he was the
oldest elected public official in
the entire country.
(A more complete history of
his life will be given next week).
Soroptimists Give
Mother's Day Tea
For Senior Girls
Senior girls with their mothers
were guests ot trie soroptimist
Club of Heppner at tea Sunday
afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock
in the parlor of the Heppner
Church of Christ.
An attractive tea table was
the center of interest with punch
bowl at one end, coffee service
at the other and a beautiful
bouquet of tulips in the center.
Mrs. W. O. George and Miss
Margaret Gillis poured. Baskets
of spring flowers were used
about the room.
Piano solos were given by
Lynda Borman, Sandra Lanham
and Judy Thompson. Mrs. Tom
Wells, accompanied by Mrs. C.
C. Dunham, pleased the guests
with two violin numbers.
Club members received the
guests and assisted about the
room. The Soroptimists plan to
make the tea an annual event
in honor of the graduating girls.
Their next project will be the
awarding of their $100 scholar
ship on commencement night.
HEPPNER BOY DESIGNS
GOWN AT FASHION SHOW
Joseph J. Hughes Jr., son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Hughes, recently
was in charge of designing a
gown in the elaborate all-student
fashion show, "Fashion-Travelogue,"
staged by the fashion arts
department of Woodbury college
in Los Angeles. All gowns were
exclusively designed and model
ed by the students and members
of their families.
Judges of the fashion show in
cluded such fashion-world celeb
rities as Walter Plunkett, MGM
studio designer of gowns for
"Gone With the Wind," Bill
Travilla, former Woodbury stu
dent, now designing gowns with
20th Century Fox studios for "I'll
Get By," Miss Maggie Pexton,
fashion coordinator for the May
Co., and Miss Muriel Barnett,
fashion editor of the Los Angles
Mirror.
forts were made to clarify the
several items, especially the fact
that the 1950 expense account
was pared something like $43,
000 below that of 1949. This ap
parently did not appeal to many
of the voters and the conclusion
is that Monday's vote was more
a protest against the rural school
board set-up than against the
budget itself.
In case a proposed levy in ex
cess of the constitutional limita
tion is not approved by the legal
voters of the Rural School Dis
trict the board has a choice of
two alternates: First Shall levy
the maximum permitted by law,
namely $103,214.23. After deduct
ing the estimated expenses pro
vided in the budget of the rural
school board ($15,000 $10,240
and $5,600 special emergency)
said board shall apportion the
remainder of the levy ($87,614.23)
extended in proportion that the
original levy as determined and
included by the rural school
board for each district is the total
of all such levies in the rural
school district. (Chapter 345, O.I.,
1945 as amended by Chapter 591
O.L. 1947 Section 16).
Second May call a second
election whenever said board
deems it advisable. The second
election, if the rural board deems
it advisable and necessary, may
be called after proper notice on
a date fixed by the board.
(Chapter 543, Section 15, Laws of
1949, Second Supplement Oregon
School Laws 1916).
Calling for a second election on
the budget is deemed advisable
in that, (1) the rural board in
cooperation with the local boards
followed good financial practice
Kinzua Wins Base
Running Marathon
In Sunday's Game
Heppner Errors
Prove Costly as
Pitcher Tires
It takes quite a bit of sprinting
to run 28 tallies across the home
plate, but the Kinzua and Hepp
ner members of the Wheat-Timber
league did just that in Sun
day's game, with Kinzua ac
counting for 17 of the runs and
Heppner 11. It was a field day
for the batters, and anytning
but that for the pitchers.
Ye scribe arrived up at the
game about the beginning of the
fifth canto. From what informa
tion that could be, gathered by
grapevine we learned that the
score was 7-5, with Kinzua in the
lead. The Heppner batters began
to find the offerings of the Kin
zua pitcher and took on a couple
of runs. This seemed to make the
visiting firemen a little bit net
tled and they set about to put
themselves in a safe position.
This was tough on Drake, Hepp
ner's standby hurler, who had to
go the entire route, especially
with his teammates making er
rors that increased his work in
stead of relieving him.
One Kinzua batter put one over
into the bucking horse corrals for
a complete circuit, but when the
fly hits came within the range
of the Heppner fielders they were
generally taken care of. Manners,
youngest of the Heppner players,
made the star catch of the day
on a center field fly, grabbing
it with his gloved hand on a
last chance.
Fossil will be on hand at Ro
deo field Sunday afternoon to
take the measure of the local
team, maybe. A little revamping
of the Heppner lineup will serve
to make the job more difficult.
"Judge" Carmichael officiated
behind the plate and Bob Wag
ner was field umpire. Randy Pet.
erson did the receiving.
Bank Will Remain
Open Election Day
The Heppner branch of the
First National Bank of Portland
will be open during its regular
DanKing hours on primary Elec
tion Day, Friday, May 19, accord
ing to an announcement by
Merle Becket, local manager.
"Election Day affords each of
us an opportunity to exercise our
fundamental democratic right,
and we urge everyone to go to
the polls," said Becket. "At the
same time, we consider it our
obligation to provide the public
with banking services at times
that suit its convenience. There
fore, if you need banking facili
ties on Election Day, you'll find
us at work and ready to serve
you."
JUNIORS HAVE SKIP DAY
Heppner high school juniors

ty for the day's festivities.
both in the procedure and in the
preparation. That the budget
was prepared to provide an ade
quate yet necessary financial
basis to maintain the school pro
gram to which Morrow county
children are entitled and which
it can support. That each local
district presented its budget to
its voters for confirmation or to
its citizens for a hearing. In all
cases these budgets were adopt
ed and in those cases where
hearings were held few, if any
voters appeared to discuss or
question the budgets, indicating
that they were satisfied with the
budget, It would seem. (2) That
there was a lack of understand
ing of the budget and the fi
nancial problems of the schools.
That some misinformation was
given out which influenced an
adverse vote on other basis than
the merit of the budget itself.
(3) That there was a request
from the boards of three of the
major districts for a second elec
tion. On this basis and not any at
tempt to dictate to the districts
what they should or should not
do, the board leaves it up to the
voters to decide whether the
schools shall keep pace with the
growth and development of the
county. That is the sole interest
of the rural school board whose
members have devoted many,
many hours of their own time
without one cent of remunera
tion to the cause of putting into
operation the machinery of the
rural school law in an effort to
give all of the schools the sup
port to which they are entitled
in their efforts to educate the
"citizens of tomorrow."
Hermiston Farmer
Catches Too Many
Fish; Loses Them
Perry James Reid, Hermiston
farmer, went a bit too far in
his fishing activities Sunday
and wound up in Justice J. O.
Hager's court Monday morning.
Reid was caught with 73 trout
in his possession, several of
which were under the prescribed
length, resulting in two counts
being filed against him by
Officer Bill Labhart.
Reid was fishing in the Sickle
Bar Camp area on Little Wall
creek when apprehended.
After weighing the evidence,
Justice Hager levied a fine of
$50 and costs of $4.50 for exceed
ing the bag limit and $25.00 and
costs of $4.50 for having in his
possession fish under the legal
size. In addition, he was given
a 30-day jail sentence which was
suspended upon payment of the
fines. Not alone were the fines
imposed. Reid lost the fish, and
his rod, reel and creel, all of
which have been turned over to
the state game commission.

Primary Election
In Local Circles
Lack of Contests
Seen as Reason
For Light Ballot
PeoDle following the trend of
things political are predicting a
light vote in the county on to
morrow's primary election. This
is based on tne iaei mere
are no contests on the local bal
lots and no great amount of In
terest has been created relative
to district and state positions.
Main interest so tar as the
second Congressional district is
concerned is on the democratic
ballot where Vernon Bull and
Hugh Bowman are scrapping it
out to see who will have the
privilege of trying to unseat
Lowell Stockmen, republican in
cumbent who is without opposi
tion in the primary.
In the legislative district, tne
only opposition Henry Peterson
and Giles French appear to have
is the Umatilla county pornona
grange, which doesn't count in
the primary.
The democrats have also had
a lively scrap in the guberna
torial contest while Governor
Douglas McKay has the situation
well in hand from the republican
point of view.
The Hoover-Morse contest has
enlivened interest in the republi
can ranks, but Irom this distance
it looks like the incumbent has
the best of the race. The third
member, John McBride, appears
to have no organization pushing
his interests but he may show
considerable strength in the home
stretch.
Here at home, the few candi
dates on the two tickets will ap
preciate a favorable expression
from the voters.
Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman an
nounced this morning that only
one change has been made in
location of voting booths. lone

hall due to loss of the city hall
in the 1949 fire. If you remember
where you voted last time thaf s
