Bureau Report Foresees
Growth For Boardman
University of Oregon's Bureau
of Municipal Research and Ser
vice reports that the relocated
city of Boardman may see a
four-fold increase in its popu
lation and a corresponding up
surge in the number of business
establishments in the next 15
years, if the Boeing Company's
nearby rocket test facilities are
placed in full operation.
This estimate of Boardman's
future is contained in a report
recently published by the
bureau.
The study was done in collab
oration with the Seattle office
of Cornell, Howland, Hayes and
Merryfield, consulting engin
eers, and was financed by funds
from Boardman and from the
U. S. Housing and Home Finance
agency.
The future population and ec
onomic growth of Boardman is
being studied in preparation for
choosing a new site for the
town. The John Day dam reser
voir will Inundate the present
site in 1967.
Future reports from the bur
eau and the consulting engin
eers will contain recommenda
tions for a specific new town
site, detailed town plans, and
drafts of zoning and subdivision
regulations. One tentative new
townsite which has been sug
gested would place the commun
ity about a mile southeast of
its present location within
Boardman's extended city limits.
One of the chief factors in
Boardman's future is the de
velopment of the Boardman
Space Age Industrial Park, a
100,000-acre tract southwest of
the town which has been leased
by the state of Oregon to the
Boeing Company for its ac
tivities in the development of
space vehicles," the report points
out.
First step in this development
ulil hp the arrival of a tem
porary 50-man construction force
in the Boardman area to build
the structural portions of a
rocket engine test stand. It is
anticipated that this work will
begin this year.
When work on this structure
is finished, Boardman may ex
pect a permanent population in
crease of 30 to 50 people, includ
ing maintenance personnel, their
families, and "community sup
port workers," who will pro
vide goods and services to the
new residents. This Increase will
come, providing residential and
commercial facilities are avail
able, the report says.
If the facility is further de
veloped to provide complete in
strumentation and all equip
ment necessary for a single test
stand capable of running static
tests of rockets with three to
five-million-pound thrusts, an
other 30 to 50 people will arrive
in Boardman. It is "reasonably
certain" that this will occur
within one to three years, ac
cording to the report.
Over the long range, if the test
facilities are fully developed,
Boardman may expect a popu
lation increase of "up to 400
persons," the report states. In
addition, the town must be pre
pared to provide for as many
as a hundred transient workers
who will come to the facility for
tot firings.
"Plnnninu for the develop
ment of the townsite should be
such as to allow tor expansion
to accommodate this additional
population (400 persons), but
no actual Investment in facil
Itl.io In nntlcln.'itlnn of tills 000
ulation is justified at the present
limo" 11m rpiinrt states.
One drawback to Boardman's
participation in the space age
will be the noise from rocket
t,.t which will occur about
once a month initially and last
for two or three minutes. The
frequency of tests will increase
as the facilities are expanded.
At tlm nresent site of Board-
man, about 11 miles from the
tost stand location, ana ai any
of llm new tnwnsites thus far
proposed, the sound will reach
approximately iw ueciueis, a
noise level "similar to that of
a nearby riveter driving rivets
in steel construction work, ac
cording to the report.
"This noise level may become
a serious cause of complaint
from residents," the report
warns, and the noise cannot be
avoided unless the town is
moved from 25 to 30 miles away.
Concerted efforts are being made
to minimize the noise and vi
bration, the Boeing Company
has reported.
In addition to the tost facil
ities, other developments may
boost Boardman's present popu
lation of 157 to GOO or 700 in
1977 and increase the number
of business facilities from the
present 18 to 40 or 50.
Among these factors is the
increased traffic which may be
expected on Interstate 80 N.
when it replaces U. S. Highway
30 In the next few years.
Much of Boardman's present
population and employment is
dependent on its highway lo
cation, and its future economic
health will depend partially on

easy access from the new high
way and space for as many as
23 traffic-oriented businesses at
its new townsite, according to
the report.
The development of the John
Day pool as an important rec
reational area for water sports
enthusiasts, hunters, fishermen,
and tourists will also add to
Boardman's economic potential,
the report says.
In line with these recreational
aims, the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers has proposed a water
front park at Boardman, and
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice has proposed the develop
ment of a 29,730-acre waterfowl
management area in the Board -man
vicinity.
Tha Corps of Engineers has
reported that Boardman is suit
ably located as a Columbia
River port, which could move
42,100 tons of cargo annually.
This cargo would consist mainly
of petroleum products, but could
include a portion of Morrow
county farm produce, if county
roads from the upland farm and
wheat areas were improved, the
researchers point out.
Over The

This ol' Tee Cupper sure goof
ed last week. 1 pranced into
the paper office with my offer
ing of golf doin's for the week
and was told nicely that it would
go in NEXT week's paper. When
I protested, I found it was not
only too late, but the Gazette
was already OUT IN THE MAIL.
Too much Fourth of July, any
way. Pendleton Country club had
Issued an invitation for family
play. So the O'Donnclls, Ma
honeys and Cribbles, Bob Ma
honey, Sherrl Graham, Barbara

fun, as the 8'some is played like
our 4'some, only more 0'some.
On Tuesday six gal golfers
drove to McNary to their first
"invitational" tourney. Wish
more Heppnor golfers could have
played. Winners were Sue Val
entine and myself, low net for
Heppner, and Maxine Wardwell
and Doreen Pitzncr for McNary
Others going from here were
Corkle Norene, Kay Robinfcon,
Bebe Munkers and Marie Mc-

love it. The hospitality left,
nothing to be desired. The day
was hot, windy and you needed
an extra hand to swat mos

Highway Board
To Improve Route
When Funds PnH''
Forrest Cooper, State Highway
Engineer, said in a letter re
ceived here that the Highway
Commission intends to improve
the existing route from Heppner
north "when funds are avail
able." He said that the state
ment was made without any
commitment as to timing.
Gordon Pratt and Hillard
Brown represented the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting of the
Oregon State Highway commis
sion in Salem June 29 to present
again the county's need for a
new or better highway from
Heppner to Arlington.
Pratt acted as spokesman in
the limited time allotted and
stressed the need for a highway
to reach recreational areas to the
south and of the economic nec
essity for a modern highway to
serve the grain and cattle in
terests here.'
A delegation from Arlington,
which urged better facilities
from the Arlington interchange
that will be constructed on In
terstate 80, also supported the
Morrow county plea.
Development committee of the
Heppner Morrow County Cham
ber of Commerce plans to con
tinue working for a better high
way and will gather more facts
and data on it to present to the
highway commission at later
meetings.
The letter was written to
Pratt after the meeting, and it
read in full: "Reference is made
to your appearance before the
Highway Commission on June
29, relative to the addition to
the highway system of a con
nection between the Heppner
Highway, No. 52, and the John
Day Highway, No. 5, between
Morgan and a point south of
Arlington.
"The Highway Commission ex
pressed its appreciation of the
problems in your area and with
out commitment as to timing
indicated its intention to make
imDrovements to the existing
highway system when funds are
available.
"In the discussion of the mat
ter, the Commission was defin
itely of the opinion that it
would be unwise to add any
mileage to the present system,
at least until the needs of the
present system are better satis
fied. Very truly yours, Forrest
Cooper, State Highway En
gineer.
fhe letter was read at tne
Chamber of Commerce meeting
here Monday, but members were
unable to interpret the meaning
of the final paragraph. They
did not know whether this
means that the commission
would not agree to building the
section from Morgan to Arling
ton, even if funds were avail
able, and they did not under
stand what is meant by tne
phrase "until the needs of the
present system are better satis
fied."

Van Houte Reports
Concern on Unions
Concern over the movement
fiu-irrlo unionization of teachers
was felt at the convention of the
National Education association
in Denver, Colo., last week,
Robert Van Houte, president of
the Oregon Education associat
ion and Morrow county school
administrator, said upon his re
turn here. . . ,
The NEA favors a professional
independent organization and
believes that teachers have no
place as members of a union,
he said. . ,
Van Houte was a member of
the resolutions committee at the
convention, one of 50 on the
committee. Oregon's delegation
had a prominent part in the
convention, and the president of
NEA, Ewald Turner, is an Ore
gon man, coming from Pendle
ton. Van Houte presented a gift
to him before the convention
delegates from the Oregon as
sociation. Considerable attention was
given at the convention to the
recent Supreme Court decision
on prayer in the classrooms, but
the feeling is that there is con
siderable misunderstanding over
tha rlonininn on H its imDlications,
Van Houte said. It does not mean
that all reference to prayer ana
religion is prohibited in schools,
he pointed out.
The Morrow county superin
tendent was active in discussions
on teacher training at the con
vention and had several other
responsibilities. It was a "work
ing" convention with committee
sessions starting as early as
7-1,1 am nrinr tn peneral ses-
, . U I w ..w. - n
sions, and then group meetings
convening alter xne geneiai
sessions. Evening meetings made
long days of the week-long con
vention. " Weather was hot and sultry,
the Morrow man said. He made
tha trin hv nimlanp to Denver
as a representative pf the OEA.
