The club voted to contribute to the March Schools Talked At Boardman Meet By MARY LEE MARLOW The Morrow county unit school board reported at a meeting here last Tuesday night that It has learned all it needs to know re-1 garding the wishes of Boardman and Irrigon people t0 proceed with plans for consolidating the two schools next fall. The state ment was made by Warren B McCoy, Irrigon, member of the board. Sigvald O Aase, Board man school superintendent, told those present that Boardman fa vors consolidation with Irrigon. He said he invited people to the meeting who opposed consolida tion. Throughout the hearing on ly one voice was against it. Aase expressed confidence the two towns could work out their wish es for a site for the new school when the time comes. The one person objecting to the consolidation gave as his reason that the resulting school would not be large enough to ob tain maximum benefits for high school students. Fred T Martin, chairman of the Morrow county school reorganization, said "The small school is going to be with us in Oregon for some time." He stated there was no question of Morrow county's financial abili ty to support the schools. Wesley Hamilton, superinten dent of schools at Irrigon said that there is no reason why a small school can't give a good basic educaion and a lot more individual attention, and that with a faculty of seven teachers a school can have specialists in basic subjects. gan and Fredrick Martin.

Increase In prices said the state's farmers for their cattle, calves, turkeys, feed grains, hay, and potatoes offset downturns in sheep, lambs, wool, and wheat, Mrs Horrell found as she studied reports from the U S department of agriculture. Prices of most other major farm products in the state were generally unchanged. As a result, Oregon farm prices ended the year two percent above December 1957. Across the nation, average farm prices sagged as lower price tags showed up on cotton, citrus fruits, tomatoes, hogs, eggs, and milk. However, upturns in prices on corn and tobacco held the drop to only two per cent for the month and national farm prices at the end of 1958 closed one percent above those of 1957, with both livestock and crop prices averaging higher. Prices on the goods and ser vices farmers buy held their rec ord high levels during Decem ber, Mrs Horrell said, averaging the same as the month before. Compared with a year earlier, however, increases snowed up all along the line in prices of living items, production items, interest, taxes, and wage rates. These In creases left the parity index the measure of prices of goods and services that farmers buy a full three percent above the close of 1957. The recent lower farm prices over the nation, coupled with unchanged record-high costs, put the squeeze on the purchasing power of farm products. As a re sult, the parity ratio the govern ment yardstick for measuring the relationship between prices re ceived and prices paid by farm ers dropped to 80 in December, down one point for the month and one point below December 1957. This was the lowest parity ratio since February, 1957, Mrs Horrell added.
