Schools, Some Firms
To Be Closed Monday
All Morrow county schools and
a few business firms will be
closed Monday to observe Vet
erans Day. The holiday falls on

Most of the Heppner stores,
however, will remain open on
Monday. The post office will be

Governor Mark Hatiiold has
issued a statement for Veterans
Day: "On Sunday, November 11
or the Monday following I urge
all Oregonians to pay tribute
to the more than 22 million liv
ing veterans who fought for our
nation in armed conflicts from
the Spanish American War
through Korea.
"At the same time, we should
honor those who gave their lives
in such conflicts that America
and other countries might pre
serve those ideals dear to the
hearts of freedom-loving people
throughout the world.
"In this most recent period of
world crisis, may Veterans Day
servo as a reminder of the cour
age, sacrifice, and loyalty of
those who have served or are
serving in our armor forces."

New Police Car
Bought; Slate
Refuses Pave Job
Bid of Condon Motor Sales of
$1587.13, net cost to the city of
Heppner after tradein, was ac
cepted by the city council Mon
day night for the purchase of
a new police car. It will be a
1963 Ford 300 Police Interceptor.
Three bids were submitted to
the city, the others being by
rarley Motor Company for a
model 6835 Rambler at $1569.87
plus $61.75 for heavy duty al
ternator as optional equipment;
and by Fulleton Chevrolet for a
1963 Chevrolet tour door Bis
cayne sedan at $1942.75 differ
ence. Decision on the purchase was
made by the police committee af
ter reviewing the bids on auth
ority of the council after the
meeting.
Included in the bids was infor
mation on various items listed
in the specifications.
Funds for the purchase of the
car were included in the 1962
63 budget, and call for bids was
delayed until new 1963 models
were available.
A letter was read at the meet
ing from R. S. Cox, county and
city relations engineer of the
State Highway department, stat
ing that the Highwav Commis
sion had not approved Morgan
street for paving under a pro
vision that allows such state
aid when a new area in a city
has a street subject to unus
ually heavy traffic. The city had
applied for funds for improving
the street because of the in
creased traffic going to Unit-A
and the new high school site.
The refusal was for the 1963
program, but the city may apply
again to come under the 1964
program.
Council approved application
of Elmer Leroy and Jeanne C.
Berry for renewal of package
beer class B and retail malt
beverage class A licenses for
Bucknum's Tavern.
Building permit for $50,000 for
the Heppner Elks lodge was ap
proved. The lodge is rebuilding
its hall that was destroyed by
fire in May. Lorentz Brunn Com
pany of Portland is contractor.
Front will be of 2x6 frame con
struction, replacing similar
structure, with stucco exterior.
Contractor is now at work on
the job and the old Star Theater
portion is being filled in with
gravel. The Lodge hall will oc
cupy the space formerly used by
the theater and club room will
be adjoining, all on the first
floor.
A letter from Chris L. Wheeler,
state engineer, said that the
State Water Resources Depart
ment had received the city's ap
plication for permission to drill
a well of 500 gallons per minute
capacity. He said the application
was in order and that it would
be considered for action soon.
The council authorized con
struction of a "California gutter"
across Willow street on the west
side of Main to carry excess sur
face water away in times of
heavy runoff. Vic Groshens, city
superintendent, said the work
would have to wait until dry
weather in order to permit laying
the asphalt coating. During rain
storms water backs up on Willow
near Western Auto so that it
sometimes covers the sidewalk
and makes it difficult to tra
verse. Would you like nice letter
heads and matching envelopes
