Unit School Plan
Importance Noted
Kenneth Keeling, president of
the Heppner Parent -Teachers as
sociation, revealed this week that
he considers the county unit sys
tem the most important school
issue to appear on the ballot In
many years. Voters will decide
the question at Tuesday's gen
eral election.
Keeling pointed out that al
though the association has not
officially adopted a resolution for
the county unit system, most
members are in favor of it as a
preliminary action to assist with
the required school reorganlza
tion law which was passed by the
last legislature. He suggested
that anyone who is not familiar
with this complicated issue
would find the Heppner Gazette
Times editorial of October 9 very
helpful.
The president also announced
acceptance of the P-TA budget
for the 1958-59 year which to
taled $689.50.

Vote Due Seaflurdtay
Voters of Heppner school dis
trict No 1 will go to the polls
again Saturday, the second time
within a month, to vote on a
special $20,000 bond issue for
the purchase of six acres of prop
erty adjacent to the grade school
grounds.
The bond issue was approved
at a special election Oct 13 by
a vote of 121 to 63, but it was
later discovered that a techni-
(3
i A x'' i
iff?- Jh
cality had made the election
void, requiring the calling of a
second vote.
The money, if again approved,
will be used to purchase the
Elaine George property which
lies to the north of the grade
school property. It will be used
to expand the playground area
and provide space for removal
of the FFA and shop facilities
from the present badly crowded
high school grounds. The house
on the property would be rented
until the space was needed later.
The school district has taken
an option on the property at
$16,000 and the balance of the
bond issue will be used to make
improvements there.
The proposed bond issue would
be for a short term of five years.
The election will be held from
2 to 8 p m in the multipurpose
room of the grade school.
