Again, Your Vote is Needed Again this Saturday afternoon and evening, registered voters of school district No. 1 will go to the polls to try to settle the matter of where to ultimately build a new grade school in Heppner. It will be the third attempt made to find a suitable and acceptable location, and, as can be readily understood from the rank it has been given by the various school board members who have had a part in placing the question before the voters, it is not their number one choice as a spot for a new school Yet, they are faced with a problem much more serious than most of the voters of the dis trict seem to realize that of getting a start on a new school or losing about $50,000 in state money because our school system is so badly overcrowd ed that the state board finally had to say, "do something, or else!" The boards have looked at the Prock-Devin site for a grade school many, many times in the past, but decided that it offered less than did other locations in Heppner. Yet, the comments of residents and the need for some immediate action has literally forced the board to request voter ap proval of a plot of land, which, in the past, they have felt was not ideal for an elementary school. The board during the past two or more years has tried to take a iong range look at the school problem here with the hope that when a location was finally approved and a plan worked out, site problems in the future years would be eliminated. As we look at it, approval of the Prock-Devin site will be only a stop-gap measure which will leave future boards with another problem nearly as Insoluble as the present one that of finding a location for a new gymnasium. The gym prob lem, though not as critical as the need for class room space at the present time, will have to be met within a few years, and the Prock-Devin land r.ffnfu an ulna I ribif'P to nut such a building. If It is used for a grade school, site troubles will be even more complicated in years to come. What the cost of building on the Prock-Devin site will be the board does not know. It sincerely If the ,-irea is anuroved, to build for less than it could on the Tum-A-Lum location, yet it could ultimately cost the taxpayers more. Just because the district already owns some of the nivmsarv L.nrl doesn't mean that it will be cheap er to hnild on for there are problems of buying some additional area to make it even passably large enough, there is expense in culverting Hin Inn nrOOU n filling and leveling the site to make U M;ihlo There are traffic problems, too, which must tie met. All cost money. There are points in favor of the Prock-Devin it., ton -such as the location adjacent to the pre sent building so that one cafeteria can serve the pntiro m-hool svstem. the heating of a new build- inu from the oresent heating plant, which how ever, must be enlarged to do so, and the apparent savings in land cost. We ouestion that the school board is whole hoartpHlv In favor of the suggested site, yet it is f.-ifPd with the immediate need to get a building program started and comments from residents have led them to believe that the Prock-Devin location may be the one which voters will approve and then vote money with which to build. District No. 1 voters will decide the first part of the issue Saturday and this paper hopes that the turnout will be great enough to give the board some real light for its next job. This working in the dark (as to public opinion) is a tough pro position. What ever your opinion may be, it is your duty and obligation to get to the polls next Saturday an,i cvnrpss it Tf vim like the nlan sav so!
