HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, October 18, 1962 Board's Decision Protested By Irrigon On Site Choice Irrigon's Chamber of Com merce at a special meeting Fri day night, called by President LeRoy Gustafson, entered a pro test to the recent decision of the Morrow County School board to relocate Riverside High school in the Boardman area. After discussion of the matter, the protest was based on the following points: That at the time of the move to Boardman the residents of Irrigon had been assured that the move would not be a perm anent one. That Irrigon students out number Boardman students at the present time, 169 to 93. That the Boardman site will be too close to the Boeing mis sile testing site and that persons with "qualified knowledge" have recommended that both the school and townsite be located some distance away because of the noise. That the Oregon State Depart ment of Education had recom mended one high school for the north end of the county to be in the area of greatest secondary school population. A statement released follow ing the meeting from the Cham ber said, "Sam Mallicoat, Oregon State chairman of planning and development, stated publicly be fore the county board that the high school should be located as far from the missile testing as practical. Cornell, How land, Hayes and Merryfield, consult ing engineers for the relocation of Boardman, include in their report, a statement by Ralph M. Westcott, president of the Holla day and Westcott, consulting en gineers of Los Angeles, 'If it were my decision to make, I certainly would provide a min imum of 25 to 30 miles sep aration from any anticipated test facility of this character in the establishment of a commun ity.' "Our county board member, Harvey Warner, received a let ter from the Boeing headquarters dated Setpember li, in which they state that they had reviewed the Cornell, Howland, Hayes and Merryfield report and that they concur with their gen eral conclusion that communities concerned with possible interfer ence from such a site should maintain adequate distances from such activities. "It seems Inconceivable to us that the county board can in any way justify considering their judgement superior to that of all the persons mentioned. "If there were anything but conjecture to point to a new town of Boardman, we would not object so strongly, but many families have left the Boardman area already and undoubtedly this trend will continue. For the new families who will be left to undertake the financing of a water system and sewage plant for a new town would be very difficult." Dealer Views New Jeep Line Addition Jim Farley, Heppner Willyfc; dealer, was in Portland Tuesday for a meeting at the Sheraton hotel to view the new "Jeen" Wagoneer, a new station wagon series to be added to the line. The new wagon will feature passenger car styling and com fort while offering automatic transmission with four-wheel drive for the first time in the automotive industry, Farley states. It will also be offered in two-wheel drive models, and both four-door and two-door six passenger body styles will be available, he said. Showing for the new vehicles is expected to be in Heppner about mid -November, the local dealer said.
