Trout Opening
To Call Hundreds
To Local Streams
A goodly number of Morrow
county residents will be among
the some 360,000 Oregon anglers
who will take to the outdoors
over the week-end for the open
ing of the general state-wide
trout season on Saturday, April
21.
Practically every lake, stream
and creek opening on that date
will get a good working over
before the week-end is done.
A cinch to draw an abundant
supnly of anglers from this area
is Bull Prairie Reservoir, open
for the first time following com
pletion earlier this year. Some
5100 legal fish, averaging nine
inches, were stocked Tuesday in
the lake and 3000 more will be
placed there at a later date, Glen
Ward, state game agent, said.
Motors are not permitted on
boats to be placed on the lake
at Bull Prairie.
Others will take rod andi reel
to find favorite holes on Willow,
Rhea, Rock and Big and Little
Butter Creeks for the early
season angling. Some will seek
out more remote spots on trib
utaries such as Skinner creek
and Balm Fork.
Anglers are reminded by the
state game commission that with
few exceptions, the high lakes
within national forests along the
Cascades will remain closed un
til May 26, as will all coastal
streams in Zone 1.
Car Wash Saturday
Girls of the Rainbow Assembly

They will charge $1 for an out
side wash and $1.50 for clean
ing both outside and inside.
Weather, Crowds, Top Acts
Make Spring Salute Success
Perfect weather, a big crowd
and a festival air combined to
make the first annual "Salute
to Spring" of Heppner merchants
a big success Saturday.
The planned events of the pro
gram were aided by impromptu
innovations, typical of spring
time, that made it more enjoy
able. Feature of the afternoon
was the big parade which includ
ed Salute to Spring Queen Ronnie
Belsma and her court. Princesses
Rose Nash and Julie Pfeiffer,
riding in an open car.
Queen Marlene Fetsch and her
Morrow County Fair and Rodeo
court rode horseback in the pa
rade, the princesses including
Dianna Pettyjohn, Jacquie Brin
dle. Diana Fulleton and Irene
Potts.
Funny costumes of children
were one of the parade features
and Bob Wonderly and Art Os
min were judged the most hil
arious with their oldtimers get
up of Nephew and Uncle. They
received a $5 prize. Second was
Susan Proudfoot and her dog,
"Babette," and third were Kim
Valentine, Rita Pettyjohn and
Paula Siewert, dressed as senior-
Blood Bank
Set; Donor
Plea Made
"Make a pint investment in
your Blood Bank."
That is the desire of the Mor
row County chapter of the Amer
ican Red Cross Blood Bank when
it appears here Monday, April
23, at the Catholic Parish hall
between the hours of 1 and 5
p. m.
Registration for the drawine
has been carried on throughout
the county during the past weeks
through work ot Mrs. Orville
Cutsforth, county chairman, and
members ot the Pioneer Memor
ial hospital auxiliary. Many, no
doubt, have not been contacted
personally that would like to be
a donor.
Any resident between the
ages of 18 and 59 is urged to
register ahead, or at the Parish
hall Monday afternoon and if
physical requirements are met,
will be accepted. A quota of 90
pints has been set, but is hoped
that the county can well surpass
this mark. Previous quotas of
100 have not been reached for
three years.
During the fiscal year 1961-62,
patients at Pioneer Memorial
hospital and Morrow county pat
ients in other hospitals used a
total of 82 pints of blood in
transfusions, 20 pints more than
were drawn at the last Blood
Bank drawing last March 27.
Sixty-nine pints were used at
Pioneer Memorial hospital and
six Morrow count patients used
13 pints in other hospitals.
Requirements for blood could
never be met without donations
from the public through blood
bank drawings, keeping a fresh
supply always available. Many
times rare types are discovered
which contribute greatly to the
"walkingvdonor" list.
All physically capable persons
are urged to come to the drawing
Tuesday to assist in this im
portant medical need.
Womens Fellowship group of
the Lexington Christian church
will do canteen work and serve
refreshments to donors after the
drawing.

a $3 prize and third was $2.
Each of the some 300 children
participating received an ice
cream bar treat, 100 each being
furnished without charge by
Morrow County Creamery and
Hager's Dairy. The sponsoring
merchants committee of the
Chamber of Commerce paid for
the rest.
Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, 4-H,
the Heppner and lone High
school bands, new cars, farm
equipment and other entries
added to the parade.
A hit of the afternoon was the
act put on by Tom Heimbigner
and the boys of the Lewis Halv
orsen family, lone, on the tram
poline. After they had finished
their act, they gave youngsters
an added thrill by letting them
get up on the trampoline in turn
and giving them some informal
instruction.

Esther Kirmis, and with local
stores cooperating with new
spring merchandise for the at

79th Year, Number 7
Margin
Light Vote
Gives Edge
285-262
Morrow County School District
R-l budget for 1962-63 was ap
proved by voters Monday by the
slim margin of 23 votes, 285 yes
to 262 no, almost as close an
ede as that given to the $870,000
school construction on bond issue
which passed by a six-vote mar
gin recently.
The budget rolled up a size
able edge in the early report
after polls closed Monday, Irrl
Ron being the first in with a
10 to 6 affirmative margin. Pine
City, next to report, cut the lead
by one vote with its nine yes
and 10 no, audi Rugg jumped
strongly into the no column with
10 yes and 28 no.
Heppner's count of 138 yes to
60 no then gave the budget a
2-to-l lead and Boardman boost
ed it farther with 31 yes and
eight no. Lexington and lone.
last to report, nearly overcame
tne anirmative votes with their
resounding negative tallies. Lex
ington had 26 yes to 57 no, and
lone reported 31 yes andi 93
no, an exact 3-to-l vote for the
negative.
Vote was light throughout the
county. The pre-election period
had been quiet until criticism
arose recently concerning oper
ation of the school buses, and
this apparently had an adverse
affect on the vote.
However, this was only the
second time in the four-year
history of the countywide system
that the budget was approved at
the first balloting. Last year it
was necessary to vote three times
before it was passed.
Total estimated expenditures
In the general fund1 of the bud
get are $89',000. Amount above
the six per cent limitation is
$184,160.

Jones l962Father of Year
Marcel Jones, Heppner rancher,
who was born and reared in

Year for 1962. He was named
this week by the Morrow County
Cow Belles after being nom
inated by two youth groups,
Super Suture 4-H Sewing club
and the Hoof and Horn Livestock
4-H club.
Jones and his wife, Dee, are
parents of two children, Ronnie,

Reappraisal
Notices Due
In 3 Towns
Notices of new assessed val
uations will be mailed next
week to property owners in lone,
Lexington and Irrigon as part
of the county's reappraisal pro
gram, Oliver Creswick has an
nounced. As the program con
tinues to other parts of the coun
ty, other property owners will
also receive notices of new
assessed valuations at a later
date.
Assessor Creswick pointed out
that state law requires that re
appraisal be completed in each
county every six years. Morrow
county is two years overdue, he
said, since the last appraisal was
in 1954. New valuations will
be used on the tax rolls for the
1962-03 fiscal year.
Reappraisal work in Heppner
is yet to be done by Bill John
son, appraiser but will be under
taken soon.
"One thing citizens must re
member," Assessor Creswick
saidi, "Is that while under the
new appraisal program assessed
value of some property will in
crease, this does not mean that
taxes will go up.
"The entire thing gets a bit
complicated, and one cannot use
past formulas as a means of
arriving at his taxes. For in
stance, under the reappraisal
program, all property in the
county is being revalued on the
basis oi what It will brine on
the market. This establishes new
figures on much property al
though not necessarily all of it.
liy tne same taken, however,
it will also drop the county's
millage rate in the same pro
portion, and taxes are figured on
milluge. Valuation in itself has
nothing to do with the tax rate
except to set an overall base
on which to determine worth of
property.
"The thing taxpayers should
not do when they receive their
notice of valuation is to attemDt
to apply last year's millage rates
against it.
The assessor pointed out that
the main purpose of the notice
which will be sent from the
assessor's office shortly is for
the property owner to check
against his own determination
of what is considered the "mar
ket value" of his property.
"II this seems correct, then
the reappraisal estimate is cor
rect," he said.
Some properties in the county
In the past have been over-valued,
the assessor declared.
"On these the tax rate will
drop," he said. Others have been
carried on tax rolls under-valued.
On these the tax rate will rise.
The entire purpose of the re
appraisal program, now being
used by all Oregon counties, is
to equalize the tax burden. It
doesn't always mean that taxes
will rise, nor that they will
necessarily drop. Either may
happen to an individual piece
of property, depending on how it
was carried on the tax rolls in
the past, and how it measures
up to current market value.
"The amount of taxes the

Active in 4-H work, Jones has
served as leader of a livestock
club, giving not only of his time
and talent, but also money and
material by taking club mem
bers and their stock to fairs and
sales auctions.
The Jones home, located Just
south of Heppner on the Con
don highway, Is a favorite meet
ing place for 4-H andi youth
church groups. Mr. and Mrs.
Jones are PTA members and
have served on the ways and
means committee. He has also
worked with youth in helping to
get Little League baseball start
ed as well as in helping the fair
building and the 4-H building.
Mrs. Jones has been equally
active In farm, youth and church
work.
The Father of the Year was
picked from 12 men nominations
by various youth groups. A com
mittee of three local business
men acted as judges for the con
test. As Morrow county winner,
Jones will be honored at a coun
ty luncheon at a date to be an
nounced by the Cow Belles. He
also has been entered in the
state contest. Mrs. Donald Rob
inson is chairman of the Cow
Belles committee for the contest
and Mrs. Herb Hynd is president
