HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday, ' I ay 2, 1963 School and Recall Elections Slated Monday in County (Continued from page 1) port the Lexington people who want to keep the Lexington grade school. "I approve of the purchase by the school board of the 31-acre school site within the new Boardman townsite. However, I feel it would be a grave mis take to locate the Riverside High school on this site until we are more certain that it is to the best interest of all the north Morrow county people. "More local control could be achieved if advisory board members were allowed and en couraged to represent their re spective areas. The school board should define the purpose of ad visory boards in relation to ad ministration of the schools. I feel that the advisory boards should function as representa tives of their areas by being called upon to assist in the preparation of the school bud get and in making decisions concerning their local areas. "I believe that more local con trol and less control from the county courthouse will do more than anything else to promote harmony and better understand ing in the Morrow County schools." Advisory board posts up for election in the various .ones are these: 1. None on the ballot at Boardman; one to be elected; Ralph Skoubo, present member, not a candidate for reelection. 2. Irrigon William Sehmeder, present member, opposed for the one position by Orvllle Buchan an. 3. Lexington representative to lone Charles C. Jones the only candidate for the posit ion left by Mrs. Jack Barak, re tiring member. 4. Lexington Gene Majeske unopposed for re election. 5. Lexington represen tative to Heppner Homer Hughes, incumbent, seeks re election unopposed. 6. Hardman representative to Heppner Hus ton Leslie, appointed during the year to the post, candidate for election without opposition. Polls are open from 2 until 8 p.m. (Daylight Standard Time) and polling places are as fol lows: Heppner High school cafe teria, Riverside High school, lone school cafeteria, Lexington cafeteria, Rhea Creek Grange hall at Ruggs, Pine City school, and Irrigon multipurpose room. The polling places are I In same for those voting in the community college district elec tion. These are listed in another story in this paper. Brent Horn of Hermlston and Jack Hod gen of Pendleton are in a race for the one post on the board open at this time and Hodgen is the Incumbent.

R-l Board Agrees To Accept Corps School Contract (Continued from page 1) the John Day dam waters might be rising without the school building relocated. In passing the motion to ac cept the contract, the board, on advice of Attorney Bob Abrams, added the word "sites" to the clause that said that "plans and specifications" could bo changed by mutual ngreement. Mann Lairl tlint hi it mtt IvnriU' whether this reservation would he accepted. The action followed a futile move by Irrigon supporters to get the high school located mid way between Boardman and Irrigon. Mrs. LaVelle Pari low read a letter with 137 signatures asking for a midway location. "At the first public meeting held in Irrigon in 10:59 to dis cuss the consolidation of Irrigon and Boardman," a portion of the letter read, "the people of Irri gon were told that if they would sacrifice their high school for three or four years, in order i fill tlu Kiisirrlinnn hif'h school, the county would gain a K..M.I more spacious aim ltouy uuuu ing. The citizens of Irrigon as sured they would receive full consideration when the time came to locate the scliooi. The letter reviewed other steps taken in the long contro versy and told of the Irrigon advisory committee s action iasi year asking for a midway lo cation that was repented ay me Boardman advisory board. "Inasmucli as me majority m I he high school students come fiY.m lirlimn we do not feel that either town would have a l,,frif i,n,t, fiitnulninl if the school is located In the middle, even though each town wouia naturally like to see the school within its own boundaries. Director Warner moved trial a mid-point site be chosen, but his motion (tied when it was not seconded. Director Bob Sieard of Board man then moved that the con tract with the Engineers, spec ifying the Boardman site, be ne gotiated, and after lengthy dis cussion, it was approved. Director L. E. Dick told me Irrigon people at the meeting that their action is contradictory to their movement asking con solidation with Umatilla county and that one or the other pro posals must not l)e in good faith, since it would seem pointless to build a new school to serve them if they are going to Umatilla. To Irrigon s feeling that me new town of Boardman may never develop, Dick asked, "Wouldn't we look lust as tool- ish with a school midway be tween as we would in puiung it in the townsite..' Mayor Dewey West of Hoaiu man was present and said that studies showed that at least 15 businesses will be relocated in the new townsite besides resi dences. The board passed a motion to purchase the school site from the Northern Pacific Railroad at $100 per acre and agreed to send $100 as earnest money. Mustangs Blank Rockets to Gain First League Win With Fred Harnden whiffing 15 batsmen, Heppner's Mus tangs came through with their first ' Greater Oregon league baseball victory Saturday, blanking Pilot Rock, 2-0. In chucking the 2-hittor, Harnden fanned at least two men in each inning except for the third in the seven inning contest. His achievement may be a new school record for Hepp ner, but records are too incom plete to say for sure. Only scoring in the game was in Heppner's half of the first. Stuart Dick and Shan Applegate walked, and Harnden singled to load the bases. Dick Springer then followed with a single and tallied the only two to reach home during the game. Harnden was a stingy mounds man on base hits, yielding only a double to Buzz Quaempts of the Rockets in the fifth and a scratch single to Horn in the fourth. Heppner was almost as hard up for hits, gelling only the two singles in the first and another single in the sixth by Doug Du buque. The Heppner chucker had to fit'ht his way out of trouble in the fourth when the Rockets had the bases loaded, but he man aged to retire the side before a run scored. With I he victory, the Mus tangs moved into a second place tie in the Greater Oregon league with Pilot Rock and Burns, all with 11 records. Sherman coun ty leads with 2-0, and John Day Trails at 0-2. In the second encounter, a five-inning kings-X game, the Rockets came back for a 7-1 win with Ken Smith hurling for the Mustangs. Coach Pete Glen nie played all sophomores ex cept for the pitcher. Pilot Rock lost no time get ting going with five runs in the first inning, and they picked up lone runs in each the third and fourth frames. Heppner's lone run was in the third. Each team got two hits, and Smith walked six and struck out five. Heppner's two oingles were by Sherril McDonald and Spen cer Sampson, both singles.
