Let's Do Something -Now!
Now that school has started again and we've
all had a chance to see for ourselves that school
officials weren't just talking to hear themselves
when they said some time ago that most begin
ning first graders would have to be "farmed out"
1o have a place to care for them in our crowded
school, it's about time the general public got down
to business and decided what Is to be done about
getting plans started for a new school.
To our way of thinking, it's a sad situation
when we M our school program get so far be
hind that we wait until the shoe pinches so badly
that we can't stand it any longer before we take
it off to see what the trouble Is. But with two
first grade classes being taught in churches, the
pinch is past the stage of being bearable.
The previous school board made an effort to
solve the problem but the voters turned thumbs
down on the site selected, thereby stalling any
action until some other plan could be decided
upon. Then along came the school board elec
tion, and practically a new board was chosen
which had to first solve the problem of where to
house temporarily the children they knew were
going to be in school this fall This delayed even
longer any long range planning toward a new
building.
The 63 children now starting in the first grade
will have to bo cared for for 12 years, as they
progress, along with the big classes already in the
higher elementary grades, and more big classes
coming up In the next few year. as shown by the
recent school census. The problem isn't this year's
alone, it's a continuing one. It's a problem that
practically every other community in the west
has had to face also. And, nearly every other
town and city has met it and solved it, or is In
the process of solving it. Heppner hasn't.
Up to a point, the quality of education doesn't
depend upon the physical plant, but after that
point is passed, it does. When classes must be

to have the right to complain later on if they don't

Schools are the problem of the general public,
not just the three persons on the school board.'
Your suggestions and demands arP what they wili
base their decisions upon, so it is up to each of us
to make his wishes known. The members of the
board are always glad to get personal suggestions

The main thing is we need a new school, and
we need it quickly. Everyone will have to help.
What are your suggestions?
From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C. Anderson
Arrangements have Just been
completed, in cooperation with
the Fish and Wildlife Service, for
a rabbit control program that
will be staged this winter in
North Morrow county. Losses
from rabbits has been mounting
higher each year until during the
past growing season many of our
wheat and hay farmers have lost
considerable crop from damage
by the rabbits. We are asking
ail of the farmers who are both
ered by rabbits to cooperate In
the program. Clean alfalfa leaves
will be secured from the farmers
affected as part of their contri
bution. We will also ask that
farmers furnish the labor when it
is lime to put out the poisoned
alfalfa leaves. The county will
furnish the strychnine and mix
the bait, through rodent control
funds that have been carried over
from years back. All farmers
who are interested in controlling
rabbits on their land should con
tact this office for further parti
culars and to offer their contribu
tion in hay leaves and labor,
when the time comes for the bait
ing to be done.
Morrow Grazing Association will
be held at the county agent's of
fice in Heppner on September 21.
Applications for the 1951 grazing
season will be acted upon, as
well as, other business of the as
sociation. The county agent is
secretary-treasurer of this group.
Work is to get underway Thurs
day of this week in applying the
ten nitrogen experimental plots
here in Morrow County. The
plots will be seven by one hun
dred feet and will be in series of
four for comparison. Three rates
of nitrogen will be used with
phosphate and sulfer used with
nitrogen and alone. This will be

MARK ALL STATE CARS I
State-owned cars are being
used at night for social calls j
around Salem, state Treasurer
Sig Unander reiterated to the(
state board of control last week.
He said that there are too manyj
"cloak and dagger" state investi-1
gators running around without
the state seal on the sides of j
such cars. )
It has been the practice of the
board to make an exception to
the law, which requires that all
state-owned cars shall be marked
on both sides, and allow cars
operated by the parole board and
the state liquor commission to
use unmarked cars. i
