HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, July 18, 1963 Extension Service Budget Remains in Doubt (Continued lrom page 1) vice program." Max Jones, rep resenting the Irrigon Grange and Boardman Soil Conservation dis trict, brought similar sentiments from these groups. Mrs. Skiles, representing north end 4-H clubs, said they were "bitterly opposed" to the cut, and Mrs. M. E. Hadwick, also of Irri gon, echoed this feeling on the part of 4-H leaders. Dick Wilkinson of Heppner ex plained about weed control ex penments being conducted on his place and said that he bore much of the expense of the weed spraying, offering his place so that other farmers might also benefit. He made this comment, he said, because of some report that the extension service was helping him particularly while neglecting others. Wilkinson had a complete breakdown on costs of the weed program and invited anyone to check it. PENNEY'S FOR YOUR SHOPPING CONVENIENCE PENNEY'S WILL BE OPEN UNTIL 8:00 P.M.

But she did reiterate seriously that the incident served to show the wide spread activities of the extension service and how important it is to rural people. Mrs. Doug Drake spoke of the home demonstration program, saying that average monthly at tendance in the county is 88. To answer a charge that someone had posed to her that "only grandmas attended the meet ings," she gave a complete breakdown of members by age groups and showed a wide spread among young and old. Kenneth Smouse said that if the whole extension budget were cut out it would save less than V of 1 percent of the county taxes. "It Is foolish to start on some thing where the whole amount is so small. To cut out something that is of benefit and which in creases the income to the county is very foolish," he said. Mrs. Sadie Parrish, county clerk, responded to a charge that the county extension service1 had not been notified of the budget hearing until 4:55 p.m. on the afternoon preceding the hearing. She said that she had been ask ed to write a letter to County Agent Ncls Anderson. He was out of the county and would not have received it, but she called at the time1 stated, She said that the budget committee and the county court should not be blamed for this and accepted the responsibility herself. x Commissioner Milton Biegel spoke briefly, saying that the move to cut the extension bud get has come up time after time. Last year when it came up, the public in the northern part of the county was notified in order that they might have an oppor tunity to be heard. They did respond to support the program, but this year no one appeared to back the program at the hear ing. District Attorney Winter said, while taking a neutral position on the matter and discussing it from a legal standpoint, that he felt that the emergency fund could properly be used only for unforeseen expenditures at the time the budget was ap proved. Since the extension ser vice budget was not "unfore seen" he felt there is consider able doubt whether the $3400 can now legally be taken from the emergency fund. To do so, tie said, would open the matter to legal action by anyone in the county who cared to challenge it. He suggested the only altern ative is apparently to continue at present, with the three agents, until funds are exhausted. Then, an emergency might be declared, he said. However, W. G. (Jerry) Nib ler, state extension agent, said that it is the policy of the ex tension service to have its pro gram fixed at the start of the year and that the county cert ification determines the extent of the program. He said that the service has "gone a month now" and might go a short time longer, but he could not give a definite answer whether it would be possible to continue on the basis Winter suggested. "We wouldn't want to be adamant in working a hardship on the county," he said. Judge Peterson said that he would like to recommend that the extension service continue with three agents. "Then we could explore, with the district attorney, the possibilities involv ed," he said. To those who emphasized their feelings that this presents an emergency now, the judge said, "Would we want to commit our selves now? I don't believe we can commit ourselves today. If it is declared an emergency, why, certainly, we're here to serve the public." Some in the group said they had "learned a lesson" by not attending the budget hearings and would be present in future years. Others said that they felt they shared responsibility for the action by not attending and be ing heard. Mrs. Parrish pointed out that the budget was published and the notice of the hearing was included. (Editor's note: The Gazette-Times published a story in its issue of June 20 on the forthcoming hearing under a banner headline and said in the lead of that story that anyone could appear for or against any part of the budget). Mrs. John Graves asked why the hearing was set at the end of the fiscal year, but it was explained that after the hearing was closed the budget is tin alized, and it does not matter if it were a month prior to the end of the fiscal year. Only the three members of the 6-man budget committee Judge Peterson and Biegel of the coun ty court and Henry Baker of the citizens' committee were pres ent at the Wednesday meeting. Some question came up on who had voted for the cut which had been reported as unanimous by the four attending. Baker said that he abstained from vot ing because he was chairman and did not customarily vote ex cept in the case of a tie. Paul Slaughter, another citizen mem ber, has declared that he did not vote. Two members of the committee, Judge Peterson and Gene Pierce, were absent. This means, then, that the cut was actually approved bv two mem bers of the committee, Commis sioners Biegel and Gene Ferg uson. None voted against the cut The Wednesday meeting cios ed on the inconclusive note of "hanging fire" until checks can be made by the district attorney and the extension service.
