Revises Teacher
Salary Schedule
(Continued lrom page 1)
lence may reach an annual sal
ary of $7550.
There were about 60 specta
tors in the court room of the
courthouse for the special meet
ing. There was discussion from
the spectators voicing both ap
proval and disapproval of the
modification of the salary sched
ule. There was also considerable
discussion about the relative
rank of the school district in
comparison with other districts
in the state. Some voiced a con
cern the district would fall too
far behind other districts in the
state if there was no change in
the present schedule.
Supt. Robert Van Houte said
the district now rates in about
the middle of the salary sched
ules of all the first class districts
in the state, but he felt the dis
trict would fall into the bottom
one-third if the board failed to
provide for some Increase.
There was also dlscussi o n
about extra duty pay for teach
ers and pay for extended con
tracts. It was explained by Supt.
Van Houte that teachers now re
ceive extra pay for dramatics,
coaching, music, and ot h e r
school activities that require out
of school time. The extended
contracts are for those staff
members employed for a longer
period of time than the regular
school year.
The board had discussed sal
aries in several previous meet
ings, and the approved increase
was less than had been discuss
ed earlier. The approved increase
of from $50 to $150 per year per
teacher thus seemed to be a
compromise measure,

Smoking Clinic
Set March 25-29
For those in this community
who would like to stop smoking,
there will be expert help offered
during a clinic on five consec
utive evenings from March 25
through 29 in Heppner, Elder
Elwood Boyd of the Seventh-day
Adventist church announces.
The sessions will start each
night at 7:30 In the American
Legion hall.
"To smoke or not to smoke. . ,
this is the auestion millions of
Americans are asking them
selves," Elder Boyd said.
The five-day plan to stop
smoking is an assault on the
habit, involving group therapy,
lectures, films, the buddy sys
tem, a personal control booklet
that can be followed even at
work, he continued.
The clinic is brought as a
free public service to the com
munity by the church, but it is
not a religious program and is
not church related. Such topics
as physical effects of smoking,
exercises in strengthening will
power, and how to weaken phys
ical craving for tobacco will be
considered.
Medical personnel connected
with the clinic are Dr. C. M.
Wagner and Dr. H. S. Huber.
In relation to the question of
smoking and lung cancer, Elder
Boyd quotes Leroy Burney, form
er surgeon-general: "In the light
of studies, it is clear that there
Is an increasing body of evidence
that excessive cigarette smok
ing is one of the causitive fac
tors in lung cancer."
The Golden Rule is old but
it's as good as ever. It hasn't

Twenty-one juniors from the
Heppner and lone high schools
are taking this week the Nation
al Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test for 1963. The test is a three
hour test of educational develop
ment. The test is the first step
in the ninth annual competition
for four year merit scholarships
provided by the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation.
The number of awards granted
In any one year depends upon
the number of students who
take the examination. In 1962
there were 1,041 scholarships
awarded. There are 3,400 stu
dents attending colleges this
year on grants from the National
Merit Foundation.
The test scores are reported to
the schools and the students by
May 15 of each year. The scores
are used by counselors and the
students to identify the strengths
and weaknesses of the students
as well as to qualify for scholar
ships if the students do well e
nough in competition with other
juniors across the nation.
Usually about 13,000 semi-finalists
are named the following
fall after the tests are adminis
tered in the spring. The names
o!! the semi-finalists are mailed
to all colleges that participate
in the program. Each student
chosen to be a semi-finalist is
then asked to take a second test,
Those who do well on the second
test become finalists in the com
petition for scholarships. The
winners are then chosen on the
basis of school records, recom
mendations, test scores, extra
curricular activities, leadership,
and accomplishments outside the
classroom.
The scholarships are based on
the financial need of the student.
The minimum award is $100.00
anc; the maximum award is
$1,500.00. The average award to
freshmen merit scholars in 1962
was $845.00.
