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.

Fay Munkers, who last week
told of a county agent sewing
on her Injured dog's leg 20 years
ago (and was incorrectly quoted
as saying that he sewed on the
dog's tail) brought a humorous
note into the proceedings when
she arose to correct the Gazette
Times on its reporting of her
story of the Incident. 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.
