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!

Paint Blisters Show
Faulty Construction
Spring is the time for pros
pective home owners to keep
their eyes peeled for "blisteritis"
which breaks out on the exterior
paint and is tell-tale evidence of
an omission in house construc
tion, says John C. Campbell, Ore
gon State college extension rural
housing specialist.
The blisters are caused by ac
cumulation of moisture in the
siding and sheathing during wet
winter months. Warm spring
days draw the water to the sur
face in the form of blisters be

burst, they release the water, fre-

In new house construction, the!

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

argument for good, green, leafy
hay which is high in carotene.
Bleached, low-grade hay lacks
carotene which cows convert into
vitamin A.
Signs of vitamin A deficiency
Include night blindness, swelling

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."

ance needs with us. You'll

explain the coverage and
