Sowards Home After Vacation Trip East Rev. and Mrs. Earl Soward, Lexington, returned May 29 from a 22-day trip which took them to many of the southern and eastern states. After leaving home May 7, the first part of their trip took them to Aztec, and Albuquerque, N. M., where they viewed many of the Indian ruins. In Austin, Texas, they visited heir son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Soward. Mr. Sow ard, a graduate of the Univer sity of Texas in voice, is direc tor of music at the Austin Meth odist churchnd assistant music director at the University. He has been active in television and recording work. Traveling east, they toured in Louisiana, Alabama and Ten nessee. They were guests of their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Vern Greenhaulgh in Rock wood, Tenn., heart of the Oak Ridge industries. While in Tenn essee they were able to meet many relatives that they had not known before. In Missouri and Iowa they stopped at many places of indus trial and historical Interest. Faced with a letter from the State Sanitary Authority that gives the Heppner city dump a rating of only 22 out of a possible 100, the council took a long glum look at this peren nial problem at the regular meeting Monday night. Councilmen concurred that conditions at the dump are not good, but do not know exactly what to do about it. Councilman John Pfeiffer said, "It is deplorable. It has to be corrected." He suggested using the trac tor at once to bury "some of the junk." City Superintendent Vic Gro shens said that he and his men spend more time jvorking at the dump than they ca.n spare. Much of the trouble comes when the public dumps its trash indiscriminately at the site, the councilmen agreed. Then it was considered whether it should not be closed to the public. At present it is open Saturday and Sunday afternoons, but others obtain access during the week by getting the key at the city hall. "If we close it over the week end, we're in trouble," Council man Conley Lanham said. The matter of accessing a charge for dumping by the pub lic was considered. At the conclusion of deliber ations, Councilman Ed Gonty, who was acting mayor at the meeting in his capacity as pres ident of the council because of the absence of Mayor Lamb, was given the responsibility of talk ing with Herman Green, operator of the sanitary service, in an effort to seek a solution. Another disagreeable matter was brought up with the an nouncement that the police car had been in another accident with damage exceeding $500. Patrolman Floyd Hutchins drove it home at 1:30 a.m. last Friday morning at his lunch period dur ing the night shift. In his report to the council he said that he failed to set the brakes hard enough and the car rolled back down the steep hill in front of his house, crashing into a pickup truck owned by Roy Stamps. The auto is insured but the depart ment is temporarily without of ficial transportation. Chief Dean Gilman expressed fear that the insurance may be cancelled be cause of the number of acci dents in which the police cars have been involved. The chief and the police com mittee were asked to get to gether to determine what to do about temporary transportation while the car is being repaired. Acting Mayor Gonty reported that a contract had been receiv ed from the Army Corps of Eng ineers in answer to the city's request to reserve water stored in the proposed Willow Creek dam. The city has asked for 100 acre feet of water and would pay at the rate of $12 per acre foot per year, but no payment would come due for many years. Superintendent Groshens said that the new city well is flow ing with water at the rate of 245 gallons per minute, and a laboratory report was read stat ing that it is satisfactory for general use. Building permits were allowed as follows: Lincoln Nash, 515 South Court, garage, $2000; Syl via Wells, new composition roof, $450; Howard Bryant, 920 Fair view Way, new resid e n c e, $14,000; Charles Walker, 120 Gilmore, new house.
