The state director pointed out that current standards of accep tability have resulted in high rejection rates. Many of those men not being accepted today and who are now classified IV-F would have to serve in an emer gency under altered standards. Identification in advance of men qualified in an emergency will permit the local boards to save time in meeting mobiliza tion requirements in an emergency- . The new procedures, Carter said, provide a more realistic picture of the manpower resource for an emergency. They will, he added, also emphasize that re jection is temporary and that a IV-F classification does not mean a man is unable at any time to contribute by militry service, or to pursue vital civilian activities as circumstances may require. Approximately 23,339 men are classified IV-F in Oregon as of June 30, 1960, out of 211,625 men classified by local boards since 1948. Far fewer will be put in this class in the future under the new procedures. Miss Spencer is the daughter of Rev and Mrs C Bruce Spencer of Heppner. She was graduated from Heppner high school, has completed one year of study at Willamette University and has worked as a nurse's aide at Pio neer Memorial hospital for three months. Her training course 'will begin September 19. Tuberculosis and health schol arships are awarded with the stipulation that grantees either return for a year's employment at Pioneer Memorial hospital or repay the money they have used. Dr L D Tibbies, L E Dick Jr, Charles Huggett and Mrs Philip Blaknev are members of the committee which administers the scholarship fund.

The meeting, to be held at the fair boat registration of 102 received Heppner's mayor Bill Col lins, running an "out-of-gear" porcupine named "Wheat Germ" at Monday's International porcupine race at the Wheeler county fair in Fossil, has loudly claimed since the race that he was sabotaged. The winner of the mayor's race, by the way, was the mayor of the host town of Fossil, Clarence Ash er. In filing semi-official pro test Mayor Collins claimed that all visiting mayors were given Gilliam county porcu pines except the Fossil may or and he drew the only Morrow county porky in the bunch. He based his claim on the fact that all entries, except the winner, headed straight for the Gilliam county line. The finish line, incidentally, was in the dir ection of Morrow county. Mayor Collins stated that he had previously received reports from unidentified sources that some of the Wheeler county sponsors of tho porky race had been seen in Morrow county forests with a net, presumably try ing to catch one of this county's "educated" critters specially for the Fossil may or. Eleven visiting mayors from as far away as Bend, Redmond and The Dalles en tered a variety of prickly slow-pokes that carried such names as Fossil Bones, Po tato Sticker, Pine Eater, Crooked River Bomb, Wash out, Aluminum Flash, Con don Comet and Alkali. Collins announced immed iate plans to accumulate a couple or three genuine Mor row county porkys and place them in training for next year's race. Anyone interested in the Job of coaching them?

A delegation t property own- rr attended the Heppner city council meeting Tuesday even ing lo urge Immediate action to reiM-n the alley which parallel the east side if Main street be tween May and Willow streets. The alley was closed several months ago by Darrell Schel, operator f the Heppner Hotel when construction of a laundro mat and rear entrance to the building was started. It has since remained closed. The group was old that the city has already obtained deeds to a 12 foot alley from all projerty owners In the block with the exception of the hotel property ami that negot iations are currently under way for that section. The alley had never been dedicated, but be cause It had been In public use for well over 30 years, the city is protesting its closure through right of public domain. City at torney J J Nys said that If all cds were not obtained within a short time, suit would be filed to reojwm the alley. Property owners claimed much Inconvenience because freight trucks are now having to load and unload from Main street. In other business, the council approved the extension of a sew er line up South Chase street (Cemetery HUD to serve a new home now under construction by Earl Ayers and several other lota In the area. All effected property owners had previously agreed to pay for the extension and it ls expected that the line can be laid later this month. - City superintendent Vic Gro shens reported work is progress ing on the new cemetery hill water system and that It prob ably will be placed In use with in about three weeks. This new extension includes a 30,000 stor age tank at the cemetery which will supply adequate water for all cemetery hill lots and the Condon highway annexation. Many of these lots have either had very low water pressure or were too high to be served at all from the regular city system. The council approved a con tract with the Heppner rural fire district which calls for the city to provide fire protection to the district for a period of five years at a cost to the district of $5,700 a year. The group also accepted delivery of its new 750 GPM fire truck which was designed to serve the rural areas. It was de livered early last week and members of the fire department spent several evenings drilling on the new truck. One building permit was Issued to W C Cox for $400 alterations and repair to his residence at 525 Morgan street.
