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.

Cattle Assessment
Cancellation Code
Clarified by Opinion
A clarification of the Oregon
code concerning the cancelation
of assessment on livestock ship
ped for slaughter was released
this week by Harry Dinges,

350 (2). 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."
