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.

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,

geted funds that could be used
for this purpose are limited.
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
