He has been in the Morrow county system for three years. Non-certified personnel were rehired for the system, except for bus drivers. Because of the pos sible changes in routes, the driv er's appointments were not made at this time although the board expressed satisfaction with their work and said that they would be hired as soon as routes for the coming year were definitely established.

Mrs. Jack (Shirley) Loyd was rehired as secretary in the county office, and Rhoda Breeding and Alice Vance were rehired as sec retaries in Heppner school of fices. Mrs. Beverly Gunderson was appointed again as clerk of the school district. The board spent some time dis cussing the financial plight of some of the high school student bodies. After the discussion a bill for Heppner high school equip ment, purchased through the student body, amounting to $911, and one for Riverside, amounting to more than $300, were ordered paid. Suggestion was made that since the student bodies appear to be subsidized regularly by the board that an amount be budgeted at the begining of the school year for their needs by the board. No action was taken towards this end, however. Director L. E. Dick asked that administrators render the board a financial statement three times during each school year. Because of some expressed in terest in the purchase of the Hardman school building for community purposes, the board passed a motion to investigate Morrow Youth Make Fine Showing at Stock Show After Tony Doherty of Heppner had shown the FFA champion steer at the annual Junior Live stock show at The Dalles last week, several other of Heppner came in for honors with their stock and showmanship at the show. Tony's steer was chosen as reserve champion of the show, being edged by Mike Wagen blast, The Dalles, whose cham pion 4-H steer was selected as purple ribbon winner as grand champion of the show. Wagen blast topped the State Fair for three straight years, won the Pacific International and placed top 4-H steer at The Dalles in 1960. His winner this year was a 1040-pound prime Hereford. In winning the 4-H title be fore going into the runoff, Mike edged out Margaret Marks, 15, Fossil, who showed a Hereford Shorthorn cross. Seven 4-H members exhibited 16 animals at the stock show, according to Joe Hay, county ex tension agent.

More bad news for the kids of the county comes with the annuoncement that for the 1962-63 school year, the start will be two days before the Labor Day weekend. Registration will be on Wed nesday, August 29, and school will get into full swing Thurs day, August 30. After attend ing on Friday, August 31, the kids will get out for the Labor Day weekend and return on Tuesday, September 4. Thinking behind the earlier date was to provide for a full week of spring vacation and still get in 175 school days with school to close May 31, 1963. The motion for the earlier date did not pass unanimously, however. Throe of the seven members, D. O. Nelson, Mrs. Nels (Esther) Anderson and L. E. Dick, were opposed to it. May Bond Sales $5112 in Morrow "Buy U. S. Savings Bonds to underwrite your country's might is the theme of the current Free dom Bond drive locally and throughout the nation," Morrow Caunty Savings Bond Chairman Jack Bedford said when an nouncing county and state bond sales figures for the month of May. "County sales of both Series E and H Savings Bonds for May totaled $5,172," he said. Sales for the first five months of 1962 in the county were $72,886 as compared with $43,903 for a sim ilar period in 1961. "State sales amounted to $2,741,762 for the month, bring ing total U. S. Savings Bond sales for 1962 to $14,152,494 in the state. The chairman said, "The in dividual buyer of Savings Bonds might think that his contribution to his country's welfare is not significant. But it is. When in dividual bond buyers are multi plied by millions, their savings dollars quickly amount into formidable figures. Their parti cipation in affairs of government in this matter is an inspiring example for all Americans who want to help their country." He noted that the Freedom Bond drive opened the first week in May and concludes the end of June. During the drive it is hoped' that every citizen will buy an extra bond in addition to his regular bond purchases. ! t i I Hi j M TONY DOHERTY of Heppner showed the grand cnampion FFA Rteer at the lunior Live stock Show, The Dalles, held June 3 through 6. 3 i r Community College Wins Approval Vntor nnnrnvflt was given to the proposed Blue Mountain com munity college to serve Morrow and Umatilla counties by a re cniinriiner 4 to t maioritv Friday.

On his heels were doz ens of others to open the season. Cool weather hasn't made the pool as popular a spot as it will become, but swimmers have be en enthusiastic, and it's unfortunate that this picture can't be re produced with sound, conveying the shouts of glee. The pool is open daily at 1 p. m., except for Mondays. It is open evenings from 6:30 to 8 on Tuesdays through Saturdays. Swimming lessons will start Tuesday, June 19, with classes at 9 a. m.

Navy Air Corridors Bring Concern to Civil Fliers Concern over possible restric tions to civilian aviation in Mor row county because of limits that may be imposed by naval air corridors on the Boardman bombing range has been express ed by local farmers and aviators. The matter was brought to the attention of the Heppner- Morow County Chamber of Com merce at its regular meeting Monday by Orville Cutsforth. He referred to an article that had been published in a daily paper, which said, "Civilian aircraft would be restricted from flying through these areas at or below 3500 feet. High level corridors . . would, in effect bar all except Navy aircraft from flying any where in the area at any altitude below 45,000 feet." One of the corridors extends directly west from the target area; another extends to the southwest almost as far as Mor gan; and a third extends some 10 miles to the east trom the target area.

For est Service will take part in a fire school to be held at the Tupper Ranger Station from Monday to Friday, June 18 to 22, Ray Williamson, assistant ranger of the Heppner district, said. The men will come from the L'kiah, Dale and Heppner dis tricts and will take schooling in such subjects as map reading, fire detection, smoke chasing, small fire suppression, small tools and laws, rules and regu lations. Instructors will come from each of the three districts and Supervisor Wright Mallery of the Umatilla National Forest will be in charge. The men will take examina tions Thursday afternoon and will return to their stations Fri- Iday. Oren G. Allison, Pend c ton, 1520 Jack Q. Hodgen, Pendleton, 1427; and Mrs. Verne (Annie Mane) Dale, Helix, 1416. The three of 10 candidates who were unsuccessful in their bids for director posts were Warren h McCov Irrigon, 1334; Bill Etter, Pilot Rock, 1294; and Floyd A. Triplett, MUton-Freewater, 917. McCoy lost a Place on the board despite a good vote in Morrow county where he ran third with 215 votes. Other totals in the county were: Abrams, 258; Kilkenny, 241; Dorran, lbl; Mrs. Dale, 142; McEwen, 139; Hodgen, 122; Allison, 116; Etter, 105; and Triplett, 79, Gazette-Tim nautics was quoted in the article as saying that the Navy's pro posal was "not acceptable in any degree." He said that the pro posed new boundary areas are so extensive and difficult to locate that civilian aircraft will have to avoid this entire portion of the state to be sure of keeping out of the restricted areas. Cutsforth said that the cor ridors may jeopardize farmers' air spraying and dusting pro grams, as well as other types of civilian flying. Some landown ers, however, have given ease ments over their property. Petitions are being circulated among those living north of lone asking for easing of the navy restrictions. A motion opposing the pro posed corridors, as outlined in the article, was passed at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. Later in the day, Dale Mallicoat, Director of the State Department of Planning and Development, was contacted by the Chamber by telephone, and he said that the state expects the restrictions to be lessened. Telephon calls to the Federal Aviation Agency brought a similar report, and the possibility was expressed that a system of permits might be worked out. A hearing on the matter had been scheduled in Seattle for June 20, but it was determined after the Monday meeting here that the hearing date has been postponed until July 18, giving more time to study facts on the matter. The Chamber's development committee held a special meet ing Monday night to discuss the matter and decided to investigate the matter further before taking action. "We want to be sure our peo ple are protected," Elmer Schmidt, development committee chairman, said. In another action at the Cham ber meeting Monday, a motion was passed unanimously to write a letter of appreciation to the Capital Journal, Salem news paper, thanking it for an article that appeared June 6 on the 1903 Heppner flood that called atten tion to the need for flood control here. The newly-elected directors went to Salem Tuesday where they took the oath of office in the office of Governor Mark Hat field. Virtually all of the State Board of Education officials were present, including Dr. Leon Minear, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Loren Hicks, assistant to the governor, read the oath. McEwen was elected chairman of the directors, Kilkenny vice chairman, and Mrs. Dale secre tary. Rotating terms on the board was assigned roughly by num ber of votes received, the two highest, Kilkenny and Dorran, getting four-year terms; the next two, Abrams and McEwen, get Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 14, 1962 'f - v REPEATER in the Oregon Junior Olympics in Portland Satur day was Ginger Springer, win ner of the shotput event for girls of ages 16 and 17.

Wiese asked for questions from the audience and, in answer to when the city would be expected to start moving, he referred them to the recent schedule of dates published by the council. ting three-year terms. Since both of the next highest vote getters, Allison and Hodgen, are from Pendleton, one Allison was given a two-year term and the other Hodgen was assigned a one-year term so that both from the same area would not leave the board the same year. Mrs. Dale was given a two-year term. The directors immediately passed two resolutions directed to the State Board of Education relative to the formation of the district and applying for a share of state funds allocated for com munity colleges.
