College Makes Strides Forward (Continued from page 1) against time and didn't want their attention diverted. In an afternoon class, demon strations were underway on making copies through use of copying machines and blue printing machines. Robert Lar son, instructor, showed many in teresting uses for the copies in the business world of today. While the college is squeezed into small quarters, everything is tidy and neat. Some depart ments appear to be fairly weil equipped, but others are in need of better equipment. It appears that under the lead ership of President McCrae, Robert Hawk, director of the bus iness and technical schools; Walter H. (Wally) Palmberg, di rector of admissions; and the college's 7-person board of direc tors, the college has become well organized quickly. One gets the idea that the administration knows where it wants to go and what it is attempting to do, al though there are some great problems to be faced. With 94 in the evening pro gram added to the 273 in the day program, student body stands at 367, well over esti mates made when the college was proposed to voters In 1961 The students show a surprisingly fine spirit, most of them pointing out the opportunities that the college will open for them. At a luncheon In a downtown restaurant, seven or eight of the students told how they felt the college is filling a real need for them and what they hope to ac complish by attending.

Shed Condemned By City Council In Monday Meet City council action Monday night was directed towards the removal of the old State High way Dept. shed at the corner of Chase and Willow streets. The city attorney said that the own ers had been piven proper notice to remove the building. The council was notified by the owners that the building had been improved but an in spection deemed the building still a hazard. Therefore, the council authorized the street, properties and Ordinance com mittee to let the bid for removal of the building at the expenso of the owners. In other council action it was pointed out to Fire Chief Charles Ruggles that a call for bids for a new city fire truck is not possible at this time. It was noted that the fund for this pur pose is insufficient at the present time to cover cost and that more funds need to be accumulated before the truck can be purchas ed. A proposal was passed that the light at the corner of Chase and Willow streets near the Fiesta Lanes, be left at 10,000 watts. The output of the light was re cently increased horn 2,500 watts to ifs presf.nl. output as an ex periment to see if it would help tiie lighting pioblem at the in teisection. The lecent opening oi .;.e lanes increased the amount of traffic and pedestrians at the point and thereby made moie adequate lighting desirable. The council also approved in stallation of another 10,000 watt street light near the Elk's park ing lot on Chase street to further cope with the problem. These actions were not requested by management of the lanes but came about when the police, de partment felt more illumination is necessary. Seven bids for water works materials for the installation of new water lines to the new high school were studied by the coun cil. It was decided to turn the bids over to the water committee for further study with power to let the contract. A request for a permit by the Church of the Nazarene for a building to be erected at 335 Gilmore street was tabled tem porarily by the council in order that the blueprints of the build ing might be presented to the council in order to see if ade quate parking facilities will be provided in the church's olan- President Greets Mrs. Emma Gemmell On 102nd Birthday Happiness came doubly to Mrs. Emma Gemmell, formerly of Heppner who now makes her home with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gemmell, and family in Salem. Not only was she hon ored as one of Oregon's cen tenarians when she reached her 102nd birthday on October 15, but through efforts of a close friend of more than 40 years, Mrs. Anna (Keithley) Forquer, now of Walla Walla, Wn., she received greetings by special delivery telegram from President John Kennedy. More than 40 years ago, Mrs. Forquer taught a Sunday school class in Heppner and one of her interested "stu dents" was Mrs. Gemmell who, incidentally, was considerably older than Mrs. Forquer. Both moved from here and lost track of one another. Not long ago, Mrs. Forquer heard from a mutual friend that Mrs. Gem mell was to celebrate her 102nd birthday. Going even farther than sending her a greeting, she decided to try getting a greeting to her from President Kennedy. Through contacts with the presidential press secretary by telephone and letter, the telegram came through on time to a proud and happy Oregon Woman. Her many good wishes and remem brances by friends of present and former days were also very much enjoyed and appreciated.
