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,

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.
