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.
