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

Phone Work Here
Halted by Storm
Except for emergency situa
tions, the movement and instal
lation of telephones in the Pen
dleton, Hermiston, Milton-Free-water,
Heppner and John Day
areas has ground to a halt, ac
cording to Dale Slusher, Pacific
Northwest Bell manager, here.
Faced with the problem of re
storing service to some 60,000
telephones in the northwestern
part of Oregon, Pacific North
west Bell has moved hundreds
of employees to the disaster
areas hit by hurricane winds
last week-end.
Some 30 telephone plant de
partment workers from Pendle
ton and vicinity have joined
those moved in from California,
Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado
and Washington in the task of
virtually rebuilding miles of
lines and cables in the stricken
communities hard hit by the
blow.
Slusher expressed regret that
normal schedules had been dis
rupted and thanked residents for
their patience and consideration.
The number of phones still out
of service had been reduced to
about 38,000 by Wednesday
(Oct. 17). More than 20,000 of
those were in the Portland area.
