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

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

There are points in favor of the Prock-Devin

ever, must be enlarged to do so, and the apparent
savings in land cost.

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

Each day, the car you now drive drops in value. It will never
be worth more toward a new Ford than it is this minute.
And with Ford, you'll get the car that depreciates (ess . . .
tho car that holds onto its value longer.
It may cost you money later!
Unless you own a recent model Ford, or an expensive car,
chances are that it will be made obsolete by a new model.
But, in the low-price field, Ford is the only V-8 powered
car . . . the only car with Ball-Joint Front Suspension . . .
the only modern-styled car. These advanced features mean
that the '54 Ford will still be an up-to-date car . . . with
good trade-in value for the future.
And it's costing you a whale of a
lot of pleasure!
For example, the eaytr action of Ford's brand new 130-h.p.
Y-block V-8, gives you the kind of "Go" you've dreamed
about at all driving speeds. Its deep-block, low-friction
design is, years ahead. No other low-priced car offers even
an ordinary V-8!
And you get the easier handling and smoother riding of
advanced Ball-Joint Front Suspension. Only Ford in its
field has it. But you must take a Test Drive to really know
the difference it makes. Call us we'll gladly arrange wt
