HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. April 15. 1958 SCHOOLS, HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS GET APPROVAL OF COUNTY PLANNERS One of the most complete and comprehensive studies of the county was made for the recent county planning conference by the Home and Community Liv ing committee. Its length pre vents anything but a very sket chy report here, but the full re port will be printed in the near future in complete booklet form and it is recommended reading. Some of the highlights of that report are: a study of housing and living conditions in the county with the conclusion that some 25 to 29 percent of fam ilies lack good accommodations in several respects; that medical facilities and services have been greatly improved during the past 10 years; that additional city sewage disposal faclities are recommended for area towns that the turnover of professional people was mgn (as much as 100 percent a year in nurses) due in part because of a lack of housing facilities, both in quantity, and the higher cost of living (figuring the cost of basic items of food, shelter, clo thing etc, in Heppner as com pared with Condon, Kinzua, Her- miston) The committee recommended that improved housing be plan ned, even to the point that school boards consider building facilities for teaching personnel; that passenger transportation be developed in and out of the area, and that recreational facilities be investigated. The committee felt that plan ning was needed in the field of education, roads, taxes, recreat could offer, this committee fav ors consolidation of the high schools of Heppner, Lexington and lone. GOC Watching For Fall of Sputink II Intelligence sources have est! mated that Russia's Sputnik II will fall to earth sometime be tween April 8 and 12 and all Ground Observer Corps groups have been asked to provide as sistance in tracking the satellite should it fall in this country, The general public is being as ked to advise GOC should they sight the object in its downward fall. The earthward plunge of Sput nik II is expected to be too fast to be caught by radar, but it is expected to glow, and since It contains valuable instruments, it is desirable that its crash locat ion be determined accurately and quckly.

Taxpayer is contem plating selling his cattle through an auction nam. The assessor asks whether proof of sale is sufficient compliance with the provisions of ORS 308.250 (2). Held: More is required than a mere sale of the livestock, since sale could be for purposes other than slaughter. A mere affidavit of sale then clearly is not suff icient. ORS 208.250 (2) requires that the livestock must be on feed and shipped for slaughter and that sufficient documentary proof of this must be presented. A bill of sale of such cattle to a slaughter house coupled with proof of shipment would be suf ficient." i'7 ill A'ff 1 X rJ r '".f v: 1 y m? fi " 'J ill ' i .vvPi N " MxA AD DATE IN ERROR The starting date of the J C Penney Company 56th Anniversary sale advertised on page 5 of today's paper is in error.
