Ullman Visits Fair; Speaks at Demo Meet Al Ullman, Democratic candi date for Congress, spent Wednes day afternoon and evening in Heppner attending the Morrow county fair. Ullman was accom panied by his wife, Anita. After making a tour of the fair, Ullman commented, "Mrs. Ullman and I enjoyed the fine exhibits that have taken so much time and effort to put together. We also want to compliment the boys and girls for the excellent showing of livestock." 1 Wednesday evening Ullman met with a group of supporters at the home of Newt O'Harra in Lexington. Speaking to the group Ullman presented strongly word ed and well documented state ment on the Clark Hill contract case In Georgia. Ullman also criticized his op ponent's stand on the aid-to-edu cation bill. "This bill was backed by all leading parent and teach er groups to meet the desparate need for school facilities through out the nation. It provided for aid but maintained loral con trol", Ullman said. "Yet Mr. Coon not only voted against it, but he first joined with 96 other Republican Con gressmen in getting the Powell amendment passed, alienating the southern vote and insuring defeat of the bill. All 97 then voted against the bill", Ullman said. Ullman challenged his op ponent to explain this action to the voters of the second district "How else are we going to meet this critical need?" he asked. "We have gone as far as we can burdening the local property owners with school taxes." Carolyn McDaniel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl McDaniel left Tuesday evening for Glen Burnie, Maryland where she will attend high school this year. She will stay with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Jones. LDGn3 D. A. Short, your Telephone Manager for Heppner Drivers Reminded School Bus "Stop" Law Now in Effect A fleet of more than 1,800 school buses is now being readied to transport Oregon school child ren when classes resume next month. Number of school buses In ser vice has Increased more than 15 percent since 1949, when the state first started Inspecting the vehicles. State safety officials reminded today that the school bus stop law will be back in full effect when the buses take to the road again. Safety men said the summer long absence of school buses from school service causes some drivers to forget about th stop law each fall. Driver adherence to the law is further confused because the big yellow vehicles are sometimes used during the summer to trans port farm workers and motorists do not have to stop when buses are not hauling school children. When school resumes, however, drivers must stop. The law re quires them to remain stopped whenever children are leaving a school bus or crossing the road. This applies in all areas, rural and urban, with one exception. On a four-lane road, drivers ap proaching a stopped bus from the opposite direction may proceed "with caution."
