HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. October 10, 1963 Legion and Auxiliary Hear State Delegates Over 50 persons attended the potluck supper and meetings of the American Legion and Aux iliary Monday night. Many new members and their families were present. The Legion has already exceeded its quota of last year's number and urges anyone in terested in joining the Legion or Auxiliary to contact Bill Blake or Mrs. Frank Hamlin. The Girls' State delegates, Marti Dixon and Jennifer Brin die, gave a resume of their ac tivities on campus in Salem last June. Mrs. Hamlin, senior coun selor there, spoke on the orig ination of the Annual Girls State program and how it grew into what it is at the present time. The Auxiliary members are sponsoring a bake sale Friday, October 18, starting at 12 noon in the Heppner Red and White store. Proceeds will be used for their projects during the year. Mrs. Sadie Parrish, county clerk, is showing improvement on an eye infection for which she has been requiring spec ialized treatment recently. She was out of the office Monday to be in Portland for treatment but has been working regularly. Pupil of the eye was dilated dur ing the treatments and remains so while she is at work, creating some handicap in the perfor mance of her duties. Marlene Fetsch was home over the week-end to visit her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Al Fetsch. She is enrolled in Northwestern School of Commerce in Portland, and is finding her classes there very enjoyable. Each year men are killed while fighting forest fires.

Main Heppner Ph. 676-9610 Legislature Tax Position Ironic, Rep. Hansell Says (Continued from page 1) fare funds, he pointed out. Should Measure No. 1 be de feated Tuesday, Governor Hat field may either cut the budget or call a special session, Rep. Hansell said. In Oregon, expen ditures must be matched by rev enues and the state cannot en ter deficit financing. The attorney-general has ruled that the governor cannot alter basic school support, and this, together with other funds which he has no power to change, means that any cuts that ne could make would be from the $250,000,000 left in the general fund budget. This virtually as sures that the governor would have to call a special session, Hansell declared. If the vote Tuesday is over whelmingly against Measure 1, Hansell predicted that the spec ial session would probably cut out the entire $60,000,000 from the budget, the sum that the tax program is designed to raise. If the vote is close, Hansell believes this would indicate that a sales tax is called for and that the state should operate at a low level of service in the mean time. The session would prob ably look at other tax programs at the same time. It would also have to determine how much to cut basic school support. "Eleven million dollars for higher education buildings un doubtedly would nave io come out," he said. Other building pro grams would be reduced, one principally at Fairview Home, and Community colleges would be cut. "If Measure No. 1 is defeated, it can well mean a 4 or 5 increase at the property level," Hansell said. The rapid speaking Hermiston man discussed the State Board of Higher Education briefly. "This state board is relatively independent of the governor and the legislature," he said, "ex cept through the budget." The board has said that it plans to hold the quality of education by doubling tuition, if necessary; raising academic standards to hold enrollments down; and by cuts in the extension service. Son. Walter Pearson has said that he will introduce a bill not to deny higher education to any student nor to raise tuition, the Umatilla county representa tive said. The only alternative, Hansell said, would be to cut teacher salaries, raise teacher student ratios and take other steps that might lower quality of education. Despite; the fact that he is a self-styled critic of higher edu cation, the Hermiston represen tative stated that of the 12 per sons engaged on his hog ranch, it is necessary or desirable for six of them to have a college education, Residents Ask City For Traffic Control 111111) PRICES GOOD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY REG. $17.95 INSULATED COVERALLS Insulated with Scott Foam Insulation m Completely Washable Silicone Finish Red or Green 6 Sizes Small Through Extra Large, Regulars or Extra Longs.

The committee was advised to work out a proposition with the school district, and it was given power to act on behalf of the city. Audit Presented Allan Langenwalter, account ant, presented an audit of the city's books and commented on it. "The city's financial situation is enviable," he said. "It needs to be commended on its low tax levies. Operations, taxwise, are excellent. I hope the people in the City of Heppner appreciate that." Langenwalter also commend ed Recorder Ted Smith. "His rec ords are always neat and well kept," he said. In the way of recommenda tions, the accountant suggested that a $7000 construction fund should be invested and drawing interest, and the council acted to do this later in the meeting by resolution. He said the city's insurance program "needs someb o d y ' s study" with a view towards "knitting it together." Langen walter said that the insurance program seems to be "doubled up" in some places and lacking in others. He also suggested that the city carry liability insurance Alfalfa Producers Harvest Big Acreage Considerable Interest has been shown in the past few years throughout this area in the pro duction of alfalfa for seed. This fall seveial hundred acres are being harvested in Morrow coun ty with the largest production centered in the north Morrow county area between Boardman and Ordnance under spiinkler irrigation. Otto Hellberg and Sons are harvesting 300 acres of Vernal while the Umatilla tJesd Corp., located in lower Sand hollow will harvest 30 acres of Lahontan and 45 acres of Vernal. Terry Thompson, Heppner, will harvest some common alfalfa in preparation for his first ex perience in alfalfa seed produc tion. He has 20.5 acres of Vernal alfalfa which will be in seed Droduction next vear. Harry Proudfoot will be one of the big alfalta seed proaucers as he gets into production with a seeding reportedly being made on the land which he has put under sprinkler irrigation this year. He has leaf cutter bees which are depended upon as pollinizers now in place of the old and not so faithful honey bees. These growers have made or are in the process of planning for alkali bee beds which are artificially developed and bees then introduced into the new bed. In some cases, growers have found that alkali bees have natural beds in the area and are encouraging them by making the area more conducive to their requirements. .. . Recently while visiting with Terry Thompson, he showed me bee beds in the Sariford Canyon area that were natural habi tants. Since these bees ar. lo cated fairly close to his seed producing area, he is encourag ing increased numbers there. Harry Proudfoot has established several artificial bee beds which are multiplying rapidly to pro vide the pollinizers that are so Important. Conditions for legume seed production in Morrow coun ty are quite ideal, and with the know how for high seed yields there is an opportunity for grow ers who are interested in de veloping a profitable enterprise. to cover any false arrest charges that might occur against its oi- ficers. Building Removal Pressed A letter was read irom Mrs. Everett Struckmeier concerning intention to tear down the old building behind Heppner Hotel. She said that they will remove the building but that it will be a little time before the work can be done. However, in view of the fact that the council first asked for the action more than a year ago and had Dassed a resolution re quiring that the work be done at once, a motion was passed io send a letter to the Struckmeiers stating that the building must be removed within 15 days from the date of the letter. Alternative is that the city will do the lob and assess cost to the property. Andy Van Schoiack, visiting the council meeting, said that Struckmeier is working with him and would be too busy to get the job done for some time, but the action calling for the letter was approved. Walk Repairs Discussed A letter from Ford Robertson, owner of Ford's Tire Service, acknowledged that repairs are needd to the sidewalk at the business in Heppner. However, he said that no local contractor could be found to do the work. Robertson said that he plas to blacktop the parking area ac the business here, improve the side walk and at the same time asked for an additional 30 feet desig nated as driveway to make it easier for large trucks to get off the street to the establishment. He suggested that if other busi needed to the sidewalk at the and curbing improvements it may be possible to nave tnem all done at once to make it worthwhile to engage a contrac tor. Odor Correction Talked A letter from the Oregon State Sanitary Authority answered a request by the city to determine what steps might be taken to eliminate odors emanating from the city's sewage treatment plant. Nearby property owners have complained about these odors. "It is our opinion that a perm anent correction to the odor prob lem will be accomplished only if a proper clarified supernatant from the digester is returned to the primary clarifier," the letter said. "In brief, inadequate di gestion is taking place, and it is the opinion of this office that adequate digestion will take place only if additional digestor 1 Out-dews, out-does all others!
