We Need o School Last week the members of the Heppner school board made a decision one they have been try ing to make for almost a year where they are going to locate a seriously needed new grade school building. That decision was not unani mous, as the resignation of the board chairman showed, but It was made by a majority of the board. Neither was it made without a lot of Ftudy of many relevant facts. What are some of the points that Influenced that decision? We know the board has given careful consider ation to practically every available site in or near town, and for one reason or another, sifted them all down to two, the one chosen, and the George Dick property. Many were too small to accom modate a school building and the necessary play ground space and parking grounds, some were ruled out because of Inaccessability, or as in the case of the hospital hill location, due to apparent disapproval of the general public, though this site offered the most open, level space; some others appeared pretty good, yet were ruled out because of lack of space for future expansion, should it be necessary, or because of some unforseen hazard to the safety of the children. Actually there is no perfect school building site in Heppner. Had there been, its selection would have been automatic. The board even considered locations outside of town, but public opinion again ruled them out. The suggestion arose, why not use the pre sent building for a grade school and build a new high school, but architects cost figures on re modeling showed the old building could more cheaply be remodeled Into a good high school, because it id not lend Itself to the reconstruction necessary to give adequate sized standard ele mentary school classrooms at a reasonable cost. It could, however, be made into a very serviceable high school for not too much money. The available sites were finally boiled down to two, the George-Dick land and the Cason property and the final decision to use the Cason site was based largely on the following points in the minds of a majority of the board members: 1 Cost of the property. 2 Cost of getting the land ready to build on, 3 Amount of usable ground (both sites have been considerable steep hillside ground that is practically useless for school purposes). 4 Hazards to the children. 5 aceessabillty. 6 The cost of operation and maintenance would be prac tically the same at either site. There are points both for and against both sites, because neither one is perfect as ideal school sites go, and we feel the board members had the taxpayer well in mind when they mae'e their decision. Not all citizens will agree with them, as not all members of the board agreed, but we know how carefully they have weighed all the facts, including many other details we have not attempted to cover here, and we know their decision was based on their best judgment after many days and months of study. Heppner needs a new grade school badly, in fact next fall, before any building can possibly be completed, school officials are going to have to find outside classroom space for at least one or two grades, and one of the big decisions in the building program has been made. In the near future the people will be given the opportunity to have their say when they will go to the polls to vote yes or no at a special bond election which is necessary to provide the funds for the project. Our school modernization and expansion is long overdue, and any further delay will serve only to rob our children of the type of educa tion and facilities that most other communities have already provided. We need a school, not a fight! TOO MUCH WASTE' LINE! THIRTY YEARS AGO From files of the Gazette Times April 12, 1923. Attorney Sam E.

The paint curls and eventually peels away. In new house construction, the! problerh can be avoided by in stalling a vapor barrier in the wall next to the interior finish. The barrier, which is an asphalt impregnated paper, metallic foil or other recommended material, prevents passage of moisture. For older houses which blister through lack of a vapor barrier, Campbell recommends an indoor application of a vapor barrier paint rubber base paints or two coats of aluminum paint followed by the usual decorative paint. r Lexington News The Lexington Catholic Altar Society met at the William J.

Across The Counter When I said "Comprehen sive," Jack got a quizzical look on his face. "Now what's that? We had been discussing automobile insurance. And on late model cars "Com prehensive" is often invol ved. "Your car is worth $2300. Could you afford a new one. if it was stolen or destroyed by fire, wind, lightning or flood? probably not. That's where Comprehensive fits In. It covers all those things. And glass breakage, too." Jack Grinned. "Sure I want that. The rate seems quite low too." "It is. It also pays for dam age from earthquake, hail, explosion or vandalism. "But, the theft feature is worth mentioning again. Suppose the spare tire and wheel is stolen from the trunk. It would cover that. And, in event your car is stolen, you will be reimbur sed at the rate of $5 a day up to $150 for renting sub stitute transportation." "Whew," said Jack, "that sounds like a lot for a little. I'm glad my policy has the comprehensive coverage." Talk over your auto insur ance needs with us.
