Hears Proposal
For Bond Issue

theater, theater paneling on
walls would be provided for nec
essary aceoustical treatment.
In presenting the matter to
the council, Rosewall pointed
out that no private operators had
come forth to open a bowling
alloy or theater.
"It is a matter of lifting our
selves with our own bootstraps,"
he said.
His interest stems in the pro
ject because of the feeling that,
as a property owner, the town
must be made more attractive
to maintain its status as a place
to live and thus to maintain bus
iness and property values, he
said.
"This town needs something,
and it needs it bad," he declared.
Sketches of the architect will
be placed on display for the pub
lic to view.
The council did not act on the
matter at the special meeting,
but it is scheduled to come up
again at the regular meeting
Monday night. Before it is pre
sented to the people for a vote,
an ordinance must be written
and passed at three readings.
Thereafter, notice of election,
must be published as required
by law before the vote is taken.
It is estimtaed that at least two
months would be required until
I he matter could reach the bal
lot. Bill Johnson, tax appraiser,
was present and confirmed fig
ures offered by the committee,
stating that he felt the cost es
timates were in line and that
Ihe ti.l millage would raise the
funds based on last years val
uation. Greater valuation would
decrease the levy or lower val
uation could raise it.
Councilman John Pfeiffer said
that he was of the opinion that
the council should not call for
Ihe election until after it had
opportunity to interview some
of those whom the committee
has contacted as possible oper
ators of the recreation facilities.
In this, Councilman Conley Lan
ham agreed.
Mayor Al Lamb named a spec
ial committee composed of
Councilmen Ed Gonty, Carl
Spaulding and LeRoy Gardner

Hawaiian Rain Fails
To Spoil Good Time
More than 13 inches of rain
greeted Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Ruggles and his mother, Mrs.
Ola Ruggles, when they arrived
in Hawaii on a long-awaited
trip two weeks ago, but the
moisture failed to dampen their
good time.
Eight inches of the rain came
on their first day in the islands
and more came later. However,
as Charles said, "It all came at
once." When the sun came out,
it soon dried up the drenched
countryside, and Charles manag
ed to obtain a bright red sun
burn on the top of his head
where the hair is thin (or miss
ing entirely).
The three travelers thoroughly
enjoyed the trip as members of a
guided tour. They returned Sat
urday morning after being gone
11 days.
Air junkets took them to most
of the islands in the Hawaiian
group and they said that the is
lands measured up to their ex
pectations. While much of the
time was spent on scenic tours
as a part of the guided group,
they enjoyed considerable "free
time" to explore on their own.
The airplane trip across the
ocean to Hawaii was pleasant
but uneventful and they slept
most of both ways, Charles said
that he has some 270 pictures
that he took while pursuing his
photography hobby.
to further consider the matter
and report at the meeting Mon
day. Councilman Earl Ayres, chair
man of the citizens' building
committee, brought many of the
statistics to the attention of the
council and told of his opinion
of the need for the building for
recreation for both children and
adults.
Clint McQuarrie, who is a
member of the building commit
tee and with Ayres circulated
the petitions, also was present.
Of the $195,000 bond issue, it
is estimated that $165,000 would
go for the building, including
architect's fees; $16,000 would
go for seats in the theater; $2500
for land purchase; $2500 for
carpeting; and $5750 for contin
gencies and legal fees. Other
smaller items are also included.
The operator would be requir
ed to invest in equipping the
bowling alley.

While he was gone, Harley
Young, Manager of Columbia Ba
sin Electric Co-op, also travel
ing south towards Heppner, ar
rived on the scene, and in round
ing the curve with no warning,
nearly plowed into the wrecked
vehicles.
He found the body of the boy
lying on the west shoulder of
the highway, but the others were
in the vehicles and the lone sur
vivor, Brosnan, was in a semi
conscious shocked condition.
Young also went to the Halv
nrspn hnme. found no one there
and went back to the scene. He
placed his car on the highway
north from the accident location
nnH left the blinker lights on to
serve as a warning for others
reaching the spot.
While -he was there Husbond
anrl Kmprt arrived back to ren
der assistance, Milton Morgan
was another of the first to reach
the wreck.
Young said that if his head
lights had not reflected on the
fhrnmp nf the front nf Town-

nn thn urppk re almost surelv
would have smashed headlong
into the wrecked venicies.

Tucker of lone was summoned.
He helned to post warnings and
give assistance. Dr. L. D. Tib
bies, county medical examiner,
attending a basketball game at
Hpnnner. was called from the
game, and the ambulance, driv
en by Hob Lowe, was summoned
from Pioneer Memorial hospital.
Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman was
notified at his home by Heppner
Police utneer rioyci nuienins,
and Oliver Creswick was also
called.
Police Officers Jones and Jim
Forney of the Arlington office
were summoned to assist Gordon
at the scene.
The highway was blocked for
eomo timp hut later one of the
cars was moved so that one-way
traffic could proceed. It wasn't
until after 11 p.m. that the wreck
was cleared.
Tho nrwirlent occurred on the
H:iv after Townsend's 18th birth
day. He was born January 24,
1945, at Pendleton, survivors in
clude his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Hershal Townsend; two sisters,
Mrs. Brenda Kay Portschy, who
was married only recently and
lives in Pendleton, and Sue Car
ol Townsend, who was to be in
stalled as worthy advisor of the
lone Order of Rainbow for Girls
Sunday. Her brother was to par
ticipate in the ceremony.
Mancell was regarded with re
spect and affection by his
friends and teachers. The com
ment of his coach, Glenn Biehl,
was, "He was 100 per cent. He
was a wonderful boy."
Mancell, although a senior,
had turned out for football for
the first time last fall and for
basketball for the first time also
this year. He had played in
three quarters of the Riverside
junior varsity game.
Boys of the senior class were
pall bearers at the funeral, and
his teachers were honorary pall
bearers. . , .
Besides his school activities,
Mancell was a member of Valby
Lutheran church and of Willows
Grange 672.
Among other survivors are his
grandmothers, Ella Bleakman of
Heppner and Myrtle Campbell of
Slanfield, three uncles and four
aunts.
The cacident was a severe
shock to the lone community
and to others around the coun
ty who were acquainted with
both families. A scheduled bas
ketball game with Weston was
postponed from Saturday until
Tuesday and the .jayvee game
was cancelled. The Rainbow in
stallation was postponed for an
indefinite time, and a dinner
scheduled Sunday for Arnie Hed
man by high school students af
ter his resignation to enter bus
iness in Heppner was also called
off. School was closed in lone
Monday.
Sheriff Bauman said that the
accident was the worst from the
standpoint of its death toll in
his some 25 years here. There
have been other accidents that
claimed two lives, one of which
occurred last year, involving
men of the V. S. Korest Service
near Chapin Guard Station.

They left Heppner 27 years ago
to make their home in' Portland.
And this trip they were coming
to visit the Jerry Brosnan fam
ily and Mr. Brosnan's mother,
Mrs. John (Zetta) Brosnan.
Three other children in the
bereaved family are Joe, 25,
Kathleen, 23, and Gerald, 16, all
of Portland. They came to Hepp
ner after being notified of the
accident. Mr. Brosnan has a sis
ter, Margaret Baker, at Hot
Springs, Ark.
The accident added impetus to
efforts to have the Willow Creek
highway improved or rebuilt,
something that the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of Com
merce and the county court have
been working on for some time.
A delegation was scheduled to
appear at the meeting of the
highway commission Thursday
in Salem, but the appointment
had to be cancelled because of
weather conditions.
A resolution was passed by
the Chamber of Commerce Mon
day asking the commission once
again to make improvements to
the highway. Similar action was
taken by the lone Lions club,
the city council and the county
Farm Bureau.
Represen t a t i v e s of these
groups had planned to make the
trip with County Judge Oscar
Peterson.
Harley Young, who felt very
keenly about the matter after
nearly driving into the wreck,
had planned to go and appear
before the commission and Allen
Nistad, representing Ki n z u a
Corporation, also was going.
Judge Peterson said that he
will ask the commission for an
other appointment at a later
date to present the evidence
pointing to need for improve
ment of the highway.
The particular curve on which
the accident occurred is noted as
a treacherous one because of the
outward, inside of inward, slant
of the "super." Eight serious
accidents have happened there
in the past few years, according
to Sheriff Bauman.
