Sinpp m:inv mpmlvro nf tho
chamber of commerce may be
out oi town next Monday it was
decided to pass up the regular
luncheon and take the food to
Rhea creek and eat wth the farm
group on Thursday.
Itinerary of the field day has
been worked out to start at the
O. W. Cutsforth ranch north of
.Lexington at 9:45 a.m. where
farm irrigation practices from
dPPn WPll nnmnincy uill K
served. From there the group will
go io ine raui Brown iarm north
west of Heppner to view the work
being done in producing wheat
grasses for seed production and
advances made in sod water
ways. While at the Brown ranch

opportunity to take an over-the-fence
glimpse of stubble mulch
summerfallnw nn tho ManlHn.
Bunch ranch recently acquired
num me iwans Drotners.
The next stop will be at the
Bechdolt ranch near Hardman
where sod waterway seeding has
been done and where consider
able attention has been given to
grass legume strips. Here also
will be an opportunity to observe
effective work of 2,4D in killing
out wild morning glory, a pro
ject started in 1949.
After lunch at the Rhea Creek
grange hall, Art King, soil con
servation specialist from Oregon
State college, will discuss fea
tures of the field day program.
The party is expected to arrive
at the hall by 12:15 for lunch.
There will be a motion picture
on conservation. The meeting
will dissolve at 1:45 p.m. and the
caravan will proceed to the Elmer
Palmer ranch in Eight Mile to
see what is being done in the
way of strip cropping with some
of the new grasses for seed. The
tour will end at the Dr. Wood
ruff farm (the old Clive Huston
place) to view the dry land al
falfa crop, which Nels Ander
son says is really something.
Mrs. Mitchell Is
Named Treasurer
Mrs. Frances Mitchell, deputy
sheriff and tax collector for sev
eral years, has been named by
the county court to fill the un
expired term of the late Leon
W. Briggs as county treasurer.
To accept the elective position,
Mrs. Mitchell was required to re.
sign as deputy and tax collec
tor, but will remain in the of
fice as clerk until Janury 1, 1951
when she will be reinstated to
her former position.
For the present, or until July
10, Miss Leila McLachlan will
serve as deputy sheriff and tax
collector. After that and until
the first of the year, Mrs. Albert
Massey will take over.
In making this arrangement
the court has effected a small
economy in salaries. Such a move
has been discussed from time to
time, since the treasurer's office
is not a full time job as compared
to Other offices in thp rnnrt hnuso
and this will give ample oppor- (
lunuy io see wnetner or not the
arrangement will prove satisfac
tory. o

and the Heppner lodges were in
attendance at this the last dis
trict No. 28 meeting to be pre
sided over by Andrew Staig of

ranch in the Blue mountains on
Sunday, July 9. This will include
Masons and their families.

Total Levy For
$43,000 Less
A perusal of .the Rural School
District budget as published prior
to the budget election on May
15, will reveal that the total levy
for the schools of the county is
$43,000 less than it was last
year. The base can be increased
only six percent above that of
last year which was $103,214.23,
or up to $109,406.00 even if the
present levy of $337,013 is adopt
ed. The base can only be increas
ed six percent in one year no
matter what the total levy that
is adopted.
For example (if present valua
tions remain in the county):
1950, $103,214.23; 1951, 109,406;
1952, $115,970. This will mean
that under continuing present
conditions the Rural District levy
will have to be voted on annually
at special elections to exceed the
six percent limitation.
In answering some of the ques
tions arising relative to the
budget and school financing,
Supt. Henry Tetz has arranged a
question and answer form in an
effort to simplify explanation of
the school problem.
Question: What is the Rural
School Board's own budget, how
is it handled within the six per
cent limitation and how does it
compare to last year?

County's Schools Actually
Than 1949, Figures Reveal
Answer: The Rural School
Board's budget ot $lu,735 is
slightly less than last year, $11,
00ft the superintendent's salary
is the same, $5,600. The amount
of this budget is taken out of the
budget within the six percent
before the remainder is appor
tioned in case the rural district
budget is defeated.
Question: Could an education
al program be maintained in the
county if the budget is voted
down and the schools were ask
ed to operate on the receipts now
available plus that amount un
der the six percent?
Answer: The amount below the
six percent which is $103,214.23
plus the receipts of $124,000,
would hardly take care of more
than instruciion costs and teach,
ing salaries. Most of the teach
ers are now under contract and
the districts are obligated for
that amount. Services would have
to be curtailed seriously $230,
000 worth anyone interested in
schools and the education of
children should study this seri
ously. (Ot course each district !
could vote on its own budget to
exceed the six percent and this(
levy would then have to be rais- j
ed within its own district).

Curbing of Mail
Service Hinted
'For Branch Lines
A hint that the Union Pacific
and the post office department
are toying with the idea of
, placing the Heppner and Condon
branches on star route mail
i service, with no Sunday or holi
day delivery, brought an im
mediate protest from all present
and a call to action to forestall
such a move if possible.
The first intimation of the pro.
posed change was revealed at
the chamber of commerce lunch
eon Monday. It is understood
that if the change is made the
Flatt Truck Service, contractor
with the Union Pacific for haul
ing mail, express and freight
between Arlington and Heppner
will be excluded from bidding
for the mail contract, and with
no direct truck service from Ar
lington, the express business will
be practically a thing of the past.
The membership of the cham
ber of commerce was urged to
write both the company and the
post office department protesting
the change and the same action
is urged upon the citizens in
general if they are pleased with
the present service and do not
want a change.
It was decided that the cham
ber of commerce will make a
formal protest to both the Union
Pacific and the post office de
partment and all patrons of the
railroad and the postal service
will be urged to write the proper
officials in both instances stating
their views and especially stress,
ing their desire to have the pres
ent service continued.
attitude of the state department
on the distribution of state funds
if schools were operated at a
sub-standard level?
Answer: Receipts from the sta'e,
approximately $80,000, are cont
ingent upon running standard
ized schools, and it might be
jeojardized should Morrow coun
ty schools be deprived of an ade
quate budget. Large sums have
been budgeted the last three
years to bring the schools up to
standard.
Question: What will the mil
lage be, how does it compare with
last year, and how does it com
pare to other districts of the
state?
Answer: The millage based on
present assessed valuation will
be approximately 28.1 mills; last
year it was 31.7. This is lower
than any county unit and lower
than three-fourths of the first
class districts of the state.

Accident Proves
Heppner's Undoing
In Sunday s Game
With Two Men On
Bases, Swogger's
Liner Hits Hurler
The luck of the Irish doesn't
hold with Heppner's 1950 base
ball team. This was proved Sun
day afternoon when Swogger,
Heppner second basemen came
up to bat with two out and two
men on bases. Swoeeer picked
one to his liking and slammed
a hot liner toward center field
with good clearance for it to get
through the inneld. The trouble
was that Roark, Fossil pitcher
couldn't get out of the way and
was knocked over by the burner.
lit fell dead within his reach and
he lobbed it over to first in time
to put the runner out and retire
the side. Roark also was retired.
Basil Burnstad hurled for
Heppner the first six innings.
He was enjoying good control
and didn't walk a single batter.
He was relieved at the beelnnlne
of the seventh by Doug Drake
wno gave one walk but other
wise gave a eood account of him
self. Roark walked one and
Brooks, who succeeded him after
the accident, hit one batter. It
was a good day for pitchers,
generally speaking, although the
unai score was -8.
Arlington will come to Hepp
ner next Sunday for the next to
last game at Rodeo field in the
current Wheat-Timber league
season. Condon is scheduled to
play here June 4 and the local
team will be in the road for the

Picnic Will Mark
Closing of First
Kindergarten Year
A picnic on the courthouse
lawn Friday, May 26, marks the
successful conclusion of the Hepp
ner kindergarten s first year.
Sponsored by the Jay Cee-ette
organization and financed large
ly through fees, the kindergarten
has had an average enrollment
of fourteen peppy pre-schoolers
under the capable guidance of
Mrs. Kicnard Meador.
The kindergarten was under
taken a year ago by the Jay Cee
ettes, who elected Mrs. Jack
Estberg, Mrs. Bill Barratt, and
Mrs. Edwin Dick to organize and
supervise the little school. Limit,
ed by funds in their search for
a location for the kindergarten,
the board received permission
from the city to install rest room
facilities in the portion of the
pavilion already in use by their
organization and the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, so that
the children could use their
meeting place as a schoolroom.
Last summer the Jay Cees and
Jay Cee ettes worked together to
make the rooms suitable for the
little folk, and to gather furni
ture and donated equipment for
their use. Further work is neces
sary to make the rooms more
comfortable and cheerful during
cold weather.

garten, the largest but by no
means the only project of the

their experience has grown
adoption of the public school
board system's three-year term
for the kindergarten board. Mrs.
Barratt and Mrs. Estberg are the
hold-over members, with an elec.
tion scheduled at the June 28
meeting to select a third member,
for a three-year term.
Applications are beine' accent
ed by the board for an instructor
lor next year s school. The in
structor need not be trained as
a teacher since the board and
the local school will work closely
with the kindergarten. Because
the chief aims of kindergarten
are to teach children to get along
together in groups and to pre
pare them for school, enjoyment
and love of children are the
most essential factors in selec
tion of an instructor.
