HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, School District Asks New Bids On Building Here (Continued from page 1) cash carryover that might be expected to accrue at the end of the fiscal period if the emerg ency fund were not used and by including an item in the next year's budget to help close the gap. The legal advertisement for bids is elsewhere in this paper. Although not on the agenda, the matter of location of River side High school came up for discussion after Attorney Robert Abrams had written a letter ex pressing the opinion that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in Washington, D. C, might ob ject to the school being located in Irrigon on the grounds that it would not be strictly "re placing the facilities In kind," as the engineers have agreed to do. He pointed out that the Eng ineers are not buying the school but have merely agreed to re place it "In kind." "I think the board would be taking an awful chance if It put all the school facilities in Irri gon," he said in explaining his letter. This might jeopardize the funds being allowed for re placement, he pointed out. A committee of five board members will go to the northern part of the county early in Sep tember to study sites and will report at a directors' meeting September 10. At the last meet ing the board voted 4-3 against moving the high school to a site at Irrigon. In other actions Monday night the directors voted to eliminate the 2:30 p.m. bus at Lexington, reiterated a stand that member ship in the Oregon Education association Is not a requirement for teaching in Morrow county, and reached an agreement on tuition charges for students liv ing in Gilliam county and at tending school here. Van Houte discussed briefly the measure that will appear on the general election ballot In November that would repeal the school reorganization law. If the measure passed, Morrow county would revert to a county unit system with basically the same organization as under the present administrative system, he said.

August 30, 1962 Short Week Coming; Early Copy Needed Because of the impending short week, due to the Labor Day holiday, the Gazette Times would like to have news items of all kinds and adver tising submitted as early as possible. Any that may be turned in Friday or Saturday will be appreciated. Most of the staff will enjoy the holiday with a day off, but someone probably will be in the office most of the day to take news and advertising and to answer telephone calls. Stores to Close For Labor Day In case you have forgotten in the excitement of fair, horse show and rodeo time, Monday will be a holiday Labor Day and most stores will be closed for the day. Many have also said that they will close for the Saturday after noon performance of the rodeo. This means that those needing groceries and goods for the week end, as well as back-to-school needs, should stock up early.

In a letter written by the judge to various persons around the county who may be interested in going, ne said, "The Boaruman Industrial Park and that whole area (North Morrow county) are very vital parts of the county and certainly we are interested."

Hundreds from Morrow county attended the game which was won by the west team, 25-0, one of the most lopsided scores in the history of the event.

The show will be in the vicinity of Hat Rock park at 3:30 and the public is invited to watch with out charge. Three of the members will do what they believe is the world's first shoe ski pyramid. Tom Heimbigner of lone and Gary Tripp, a friend from Seattle, ski ing side by side on the short shoe skis, will carry Cherie Vogel on their shoulders in the very difficult stunt. Pyramids are or ten done on regular skis but not on shoe skis, Although the show will be staged from the yacht club, it will run over the club's course and those at Hat Rock park will have a grandstand view of the event. Ray Heimbigner, chairman, of the troupe, says that the 23 num bers on the program include all ski stunts that have been per formed at the World's Fair plus the first shoe ski pyramid and the first pyramid to be under taken over a jump. Besides Tom Heimbigner, oth ers from lone on the program will be Merrie Jo Morrison, daughter of ,Mr. and Mrs. Jodie Morrison, and Linda, Mark, Joe and Frank Halvorsen, whose par ents are Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hal vorsen. Jackie Howton, now of Hermiston but formerly of lone, will also perform. From Heppner will be Larry Prock. Some 15 others are in the troupe. Smooth water is a "must" for presentation of the show, the chairman points out. If it is rough and windy, the perform ance cannot be staged. Among events listed are: Group skiing using jump for over and under, backward skiing, can noe paddles, doubles on saucer, helicopter over and under, sau cer over jump, ballet (heel tow ing), somersault over jump, dou ble jumping on same pair of skis, barefoot skiing, shoe skiing, stilt saucer, line jumping, the pyra mids, pyramids over jump and others.

LITTLE SUZY SAYS: ThisJsfopmu hOJVTO KiGK'iTFaR Turner, Van Marter and Bryant INSURANCE Heppner Protests Heard On Game Refuge On River Front (Continued from Page 1) Ted Smith of Pendleton brought out the fact that if the area is tied up by the federal govern ment is may be lost for better and more important future uses. He felt that the land, which is located primarily between Board man and Irrigon but extends also west from Boardman, has much greater potential and that the management area could be work' ed out in some other area. Some pointed out that noise of the proposed Boeing develop ment and low flying aircrait through Navy corridors would not make it a very desirable ref uge for the birds, and also that chemicals from Boardman's mos quito control program may be detrimental to the wildlife. Probably an equal number spoke for the waterfowl manage ment area, although few were from this immediate area. In cluded were representatives of the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fish eries and Wild Life, the Oregon State Game Commission and the Washington Department of Game as well as sport clubs from the Tri-Cities area. Colonel J. H. Beddow, Walla Walla district engineer, presided at the hearing which was attend ed by nearly 100 persons. Paul T. Quick, director of the Pacific region of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, out lined the proposal which would set aside the 29,730 acres of land and water for the waterfowl management area. Flooded hab itats for waterfowl, due to con struction of dams on the river, have made it important to estab lish new refuges, he said. Quick declared that the bene fits to be gained would more than justify costs of acquisition, development and management. Cost of land acquisition is fig ured at $670,000, cost of primary development at $680,000 and cost of annual operation and main tenance at $66,000. Of the total area, 8750 acres would be ac quired by the Corps of Engineers for purposes other than water fowl management, 3300 now pri vately owned would be acquired for the project, and 530 acres would be withdrawn from the public domain. The State Department of Plan ning and Development has taken no stand, either for or against the establishment of the man agement area. The Federal gov ernment already owns part of the land through the Bureau of Land Management but the rest would have to be acquired. Smith, speaking for the Space Age Industrial park, said that cost of the area would be some $1,500,000, differing sharply with those offered by Quick. He point ed out that if the navy pulled out and left the bombing range, this fast area of potential industrial sites would be left without river frontage. He also pointed out the difficulty of reacquiring lands that have gone into Federal own ership. WEATHER (Leonard Gilliam, observer) Hi Low Prec.

Tractor exhaust was blamed for setting the blaze about 11 a.m. It swept over 140 acres of Hanna's barley and spread to the adjoining ranch that Wilk inson had purchased recently from Dallas Craber. On the latter ranch, 15 acres of wheat were destroyed. Grazing land and fences were also hit by the fire. Wilkinson said that $540 dam ages were paid by the insurance company on the wheat, but loss to fences and other property probably equalled this amount. Heppner rural fire protection district equipment went to the scene, manned by Heppner fire men. They were handicapped by the steep terrain and strong winds. Other tractors, sprayers and tankers, as well as county equipment, were pressed into service. Methodist Women To Meet Wednesday The Women's Society of Chris tian Service of the Heppner Methodist church will hold its first fall meeting Wednesday, September 5, at 8:00 p. m, in the church basement.
