Among groups who have been working hard on local floats are the Soroptimist club, the Motn er's club and Rainbow for Girls, all of Heppner. In building floats, organlza tions are following the theme, "Songs Old and New," chosen in a contest conducted by the Chamber of Commerce earlier this year. Bands from Heppner, lone and Riverside will be in the parade, and others may also come to take part. Courts have been invited from many other towns and cities, but it is not known how many will arrive. The parade will go south on Main and May street and turn east to Chase (Farley service station corner). Here the mount ed groups will fall out, perhaps continuing to the rodeo grounds, and the kids will also disband. Remainder of the parade will go south to Cannon, then turn west to Main again where it will turn north and go back by the reviewing stand in downtown Heppner. Here Queen Sandra Eubanks will award prizes won by the floats. Judging of floats will be done promptly at 9:30, so it is im nerative for all to be present at that time, Randall Peterson, in charge of Judging, states. Orville Cutsforth will have charge of assembling the parade, and Jim Farley will assist. An nouncers at the reviewing stand will be Harold Erwin and La Verne Van Marter. Those taking part in the pa rade will compete for $475 in prizes offered by the sponsoring Heppner-Morrow County Cham ber of Commerce. Many prizes are offered in all categories from the kids on up to the most lavisn floats. time, he was limited to sight seeing and unable to enter into any hunting or fishing on the trip. Cowboys to Gather For 1963 Rodeo; Horse Show Due (Continued from page 1) Admission to the rodeo shows will remain at the popular prices of last year, $2 for adults at the Saturday and Sunday after noon shows, $1 for students; $1 for adults at the Saturday night show and 50c for children. Those driving to the show will be asked this year to go to the upper gate to the fair grounds and turn in. Tickets will not be sold to the customers until they are parked and headed for the stands. The regular rodeo gate will be kept closed except for a few officials' cars. In this manner it is hoped to expedite parking without congesting the highway while selling tickets in the cars at the gate, Glmbel states.

But they couldn't have done it, if a number of girls in the community hadn't given them a big assist by lending them horses for the occassion. The group assembled at Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co. and rode in double file to the First National Bank corner, then turned east one block before making a U-turn and proceed ing back to the Wagon Wheel Cafe. No speed records were broken. The event drew a good crowd of amused spectators who couldn't say too much for the horsemanship displayed but might have had a good word for the spirit shown by the businessmen. Frank Turner and Jim Far ley worked out plans for the event, down to the hitching rail -at the Wagon wheel. It looks now as if it might be come an annual event. Among girls loaning horses were Nancy Cleveland, Vickl Barratt, Maralee Murray, Shannon Mahoney, Barbara Gribble, Lisa Collins, Cheryl Bellenbrock, Kay Daggett, ajjfl Deanne Wagner. Chamber members asked that a great big "Thank you!" be extended to the girls for their help.

Adults $2 High School $1 .50 Children 75c Corner Church and Gale One or more income-producing recreation enterprises were es tablished by 118 land owners and operators cooperating with their locally-managed soil and water conservation districts dur ing fiscal year 19G3, the U. S. Soil Conservation Service an nounced, i An additional 145 district co operators said they intend to es tablish one or more recreation enterprises. In all, 699 district cooperators considered including recreation for profit in their op erations in the course of receiv ing technical help from the USDA's Soil Conservation Service during the fiscal year. A total of 16 district cooper ators switched from livestock, dairy, crops, fruits and similar farming activities to recreation enterprises as a primary source of income, SCS said. This in volved 1,763 acres of land. An other 29 cooperators said they will convert 6,422 acres of land from present livestock and crop ping patterns to recreation as a primary source of income. The income-produc 1 n g rec reation enterprises established and planned include vacation farms, picnic and sports cen ters, fishing waters, camping and nature recreation areas, hunting areas, and shooting preserves. State Conservationist, T. P. Helseth, who directs rural de velopment and conservation ac tivities of SCS in Oregon, said the outdoor recreation progress in districts is "remarkable." "That so much could be ac complished in just a few months of emphasis on this phase of rural areas development indi cates both the need for recreation developments in rural Oregon and the splendid leadership of soil and water conservation dis tricts," he said The report prepared by the Soil Conservation Service, which has responsibility for USDA leadership in working with pri vate landowners in developing income producing outdoor rec reation, shows that interest in developing rural recreation en terprises is not confined to areas surrounding expanding metro politan centers but is widespread throughout the 60 soil and water conservation districts that now include 69 per cent of the- total area of the state; 90 per cent of the farms, and 77 per cent of the farm area. On a national basis, 9.S16 SCD cooperators have entered the outdoor recreation field and an additional 9,075 intend to estab lish one or more recreation en terprises. In all, 39,685 district cooperators considered including recreation for protit in their op erations. Morrow county's school board spent Tuesday afternoon and evening in the Boardrnan and Irrigon areas, checking sites that have been under consideration for possible relocation of River side High school. A contract signed by the former school board is not considered a legal contract because it had not been finally approved by the Corps of Engineers before the new board took office, a repre sentative of the Corps told the rlirpntnrs. This pnntrapt rnllpH fnr 1 locating the school in the Board man townsite. The directors checked the possible sites during the after noon as a matter of review since only one, Harvey Warner, was posted on them as a member of the "old" board. Warner, to gether with William H. Parker of Irrigon and Roy Partlow and Mayor Dewey West, both of Boardrnan, led the tour, visiting sites in Irrigon, Boardrnan and in-between. At a 7 p.m. meeting the direc tors were joined by representa tives of the Corps, Rupert Ken nedy, representing the State De partment of Planning and De velopment, and James H. Dwin nell of the aero-space division of the Boeing Co. It was pointed out by the En gineers that if another site were chosen, it would have to be approved by the Chief of En gineers, and there could be no guarantee whether he would de cide for or against it. This would take about two or three months. The Engineers only recommen dation to the board is that a site be chosen that would best serve the public. With the delay now scheduled In filling the John Day reservoir to be in 1968 there is still V years time be fore the deadline of completing the contract. Dwinnell said that tests that Boeing might undertake at its Morrow county site would last for a period of only a few sec onds several times per month. Testing will be done in the lower center of the project area, some 14 miles from lone, 11 miles from Boardrnan and 20 miles from Irrigon. Boeing's high-powered motor noises consist of short, sharp pistol-like reports, Dwin nell said. Noises from rockets would be in the low frequency Barratts Honored Mr. and Mrs. Garnett Barratt were honored at a party on Sun day, August 18, by Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Hamlin at the Ham- lins' mountain cabin. Guests for dinner were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bedford, Mrs. Bea Bedford, the honored guests and the host couple. The Barratts also enjoyed having breakfast there with the Hamlins. IRRIGON NEWS Rev. John H. Kenney. District Presbyter, drove to Prairie City Wednesday, to conduct a busi ness meeting in the Assembly of God Church there. Rev.

The loudest sound contempla ted in the foreseeable future would be like that of thunder 10 to 20 miles away for a few seconds. He said that for those inside a building such as a school the noise would be even less. Dwinnell said that the com pany has a test area just north of Seattle, closer to population Mrs. Partlow. chairman of a citizens committee from Irrigon, and Parker presented Irrigon's case again for location of the school in that city. They were on a mimeographed sheet given to the board. After the trip to the sites in the afternoon, Irrigon mothers served ice cold melons to the group in the elementary school cafeteria. Later, Irrigon was host centers, but that the company again to a turkey dinner at Is seeking a site farther away from population. At Cape Can averal, people live within a few miles of launching pads, he said. The company will seek to fire its tests under most favorable conditions and is working on atmospheric tests so that it may endeavor to carry as much sound as possible away from areas where people live. Dwinnell made it clear that Boeing has to work with people and communities wherever it goes and is conscious of things that may be disturbing to them. The matter of the noise assoc iated with the Boeing project has been the subject of considerable discussion in selecting the new site for Riverside. Although not designed as a public meetin" the, session brought out several Irrigon and Boardrnan residents as interested spectators.
