HEPPNER GAZETTE Space Age Park Dream Nears Reality (Reprinted from OreRonian) the Sunday Oregon's dream of a space aee industrial park at Board- man was nearing reality last week, at a cost of about $900, 000, a year after the target date originally set for leasing the 100,000-acre site to the Boeing Company. State crews were busy pre paring to move the Navy's bomb ing range to its new location about five miles east of its old location, New roads must be graded out of the sandy soil and a new circular target area bull dozed in the sagebrush. Reflec tors which mark the target for pilots bombing by radar are be ing installed, Sam Mallicoat, di rector of the Department of Plan ning and Development, reported. Four observation towers are being moved from the West half of the range and arranged in a circle around the bullseye on a three-mile radius for visual ob servation of bomb strikes. In addition, three corridors must be marked out to desig nate the approach zones required by the Navy. Navy bombers from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station fly many of their practice mis sions at low altitude. As they approach the target, they hit the deck, skimming low arjove me ground through these approach Padberg Scores Five for Heppner In State Meet Lee Padberg of Lexington Heppner High school's sopho more miler and half-mller, brought home five points from the slate track meet A-2 division nt- Csrvallis, held Friday and Saturday. He was the only one of the three Mustang entrants to tally points, although both Archie Ball and Kudie Howard finished "just out of the money. The sophomore athlete reset both of his school marks in the state meet, running the pre liminaries in the half-mile at 2:02.9 und edipnine his record of 2:03.5, and making the mile distance In 4:30.3, topping his previous best of 4:32.6. Padberg finished third in the half-mile preliminary and was sixth in the finals, gaining one point there. His time in the finals was 2:04.1. In the mile, he finished fourth, good for four points. There were no urel m naries in this event All throe men who finished uhead of him were seniors, but Padberg has two years lett in school. Howard lust missed qualifying in the lOO-yard dash when he was nicked as fifth in the pre liminary. Coach Don McCluie felt that his runner shaded an (ini)oneiit for fourth, but the run ners were so close at the finish that the judge, on the opposite side of the track from Howard could not see that the Heppner man was slightly ahead because his vision was blocked by inter veniiiL' runners. Howard was sixtli in the preliminary heat in the 220. Ball was fifth in the high hurdle preliminary boat, just missing the finals, loach Mc Cluie said that less than two foot separated the second and fifth place finishers in this heat. He was also fifth In the opening heat of the low hurdles. Showing the stiff competition in the mile event, the winner. Lynn Faircloth of Reedsport, set n new meet record In 4:23.4. Last year's winner in the. event fin ished ninth. Creswell captured first In the A-2 meet with 40 points followed hv Reedsport with 38. Madras with 12 was the only eastern Oregon team to do better than Heppner. The Mustangs five points were good for 23rd place In the meet. 3 from Morrow Graduate at OSU James Monroe Wlghtman, Ger ald Calvin Sumner of Heppner, and Michael Dennis Bongo of lone will receive degrees June 3 at the 93rd annual commence ment program at Oregon State University.

Each zone is six nautical miles wide and 10 nautical miles long. Once the Navy's bombing fa cilities have been moved from the West half of the Boardman Bombing Range to the east half, the final physical step toward completion of the complex deal will have been taken.. The Navy will then deed the western half of the bombing range to the state of Oregon, as authorized by the special law passed by Congress last Septem ber. Oregon can then hand over the 100,000-acre tract to Boeing on an 80-vear lease at $60,000 a yaar for use as a missile testing site. Target date for actual trans fer Is early July. The Boeing Company signed a lease agreement in January, 1961, expecting to move onto the site by July, 1961. An initial plan to trade state lands near Wagontire for the whole Navy Boardman range failed when the Navy raised objections to the Wagontire site. The lease with Boeing includes an easement to permit low-level bombing by Navy bombers ap- Annual Methodist Conference To Meet In Salem June 5-8 Methodists from 165 churches of the Oregon Annual Conference will meet in annual session June 5-8 to pass on program plans and budgets at Willamette Uni versity, Salem.

McMurdo left Port and by jet plane Tuesday night for Charlottesville, Virginia, where lie will attend an alumni reunion at the University of Vir ginia. He wont to Portland by train from Hinkle Tuesday af ternoon, and expects to be gone about a week on the trip east. Dr. McMurdo graduated from the medical school at the uni versity in the class of 1909, and still has a brother and other close relatives living in or near Charlottesville. Two other brothers, also grad uates of the medical school there, will attend from their homes in California. Dr. Percy F. McMurdo, a graduate of 1905, and Dr. How B.

Department of Commerce Trade Mission In Central Africa, arrived this week from luounde, Cameroun, near the west coast of that country. It was written May 18. In his brief message to Mor row county friends, he writes, "Am having a good time and am staying healthy so far. Visit- d a chicken farm cooperative about six miles out today. Have mot the President of Cameroun and nave noon treated very good." Lamb will be gone on the Mission until mid-Juno. Enemies are the heritage of ho successful. Nobody envies a failure. Anonvmois Sparky says: proaching from the west. This will not prevent use of land with in the corridor by Boeing, pro vided no high structures are built there. The same is true of grazing and farm land lying within the other flight corridors covered by easements. Owners may continue to use this land, provided they build no high structures to interfere with bomb runs. Boeing has indicated it will move onto the land the minute the lease is signed by the state. Boeing has already made sur veys, mapped the area and made soil tests and borings for wells. The company's growing need for the spacious range was em phasized last week when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that Boeing is one of four firms awarded contracts to study launch vehicles and space flight systems for future flights. Boeing will make preliminary design studies for a solid pro pellant rocket to boost a Nova satellite to the moon and will design a reusable ground launch vehicle in the 50 to 100-ton or bital payload class. These studies look bevond the Saturn liquid- fueled rocket, designed to shoot a team of men to the moon. Boeing has a contract to build the first stage of the massive Saturn space booster. Pet Vaccination Advised as Curb Against Rabies (I'DITOR'C NOTE This animal health information is presented as a public ser vice by the Oregon Veteri nary Medical Association. Questions in this and other animal health topics may be addressed to the OVMA, 1500 S. W. Taylor St., Port land, Ore.) Rabies.! It's a frightening word to pet owners, to mothers of small children and to the public at large. But it needn't be a cause for panic or alarm if Oregon citizens prepare now against the possible outbreak "of this disease which can be fatal to animal and human alike. The Oregon Veterinary Med ical Association is urging all pet owners to participate in any community vaccination clinics which may be held during the forthcoming months. A recent clinic in Umatilla countv. conducted by the Eastern Oregon Veterinary Medical As sociation and the Umatilla coun ty board of health, was very well accepted by residents of that area. Bv vaccinating their pets now, Oregon citizens may help the veterinary profession and health officials to create a reservoir of protected animals. Here are some tacts whicn win assist readers of this newspaper in preventing rabies outbreaks in this community: 1. Vaccination of pets is the only effective protection against rabies. Present vaccines give pets a sufficient protection for at least a year. 2. To be on the safe side, all cases of bites from dogs or cats should be reported to your coun ty health ofticer who will in struct you on the proper pro cedures to follow. 3. Rabies can also be trans mitted to humans or pots by the bites of bats, foxes, skunks and some other wild animals. Do not attempt to handle any wild ani mals especially those which ap pear sick or irrational. 4. Pets which may be suspected f having rabies should be con fined to the owner's promises or a veterinary nospnai anu watched closely for any change in physical or mental condition. In rabies there is a tendency toward moodiness, desire to stray away from homo, perhaps a liange of voice, general loss of muscular power, slobbering, a vacant stare or paralysis of the lower jaw. i. Be particularly alert this spring and summer to your pot's protection. Many animals will be coming into the state as tourist t rat tic increases duo to the in flux of travelers bound for Un seat tie World's Fair and the possibilities for greater exposure to the disease will bo corresond ingly increased.

(G-T Photo) lone Tots Have Successful Year In Kindergarten First year of kindergarten at lone has come to a close and those who worked hard to get the pre-schoolers started can look back on a very successful year. Mothers were instrumental in organizing the group and acted under the leadership of Mrs. Don Linnell, president; Mrs. Bill Rietmann, secretary-treasur e r; and Mrs. Roland Bergstrom, pub licity chairman. The project was given some financial impetus last summer when the Linnell family brought a Shetland pony for rides at the Fourth of July celebration, and the proceeds went to the kinder garten. Two good donations also helped get the program under way. Otherwise, it is financed by tuition. The 12 youngsters who made up the kindergarten this year met in the basement of the lone grade school with Mrs. Helen Mc Cabe as teacher, attending from 9 to 11:30 each week day morn ing. Reading, coloring and arith metic comprised the study work in the informal atmosphere with attention to forming good school habits and attitudes. Each morning was made more interesting with snack time and playing games. Women of the Cecil area contributed to the kindergarten by presenting a flunnelboard to each pupil. With this start, the parents are looking forward to another good year ahead. Deal with the faults of others, as gently as with your own.
