County to Lose
4-H Club Agent
On January 16
(Continued from paee 1)
formation, and it is expected that
this committee will meet in Jan
uary to consider what county
appropriation to seek for the
coming fiscal year and other
problems connected with the cur
tailment of service.
Anderson pointed out that
there is no possibility that the
state contribution to the exten
sion service will be raised again
until at least July 1, 1965, and
this is dependent upon legisla
tive action that will be taken
to meet the state's financial
problems in the 1965 session.
On the advisory committee
will be one person representing
the county fair, two represent
ing home economics, two for 4-H,
two for livestock, one for wheat,
one for water resources, one for
specialty crops, one from the
weed committee, and one from
business. In cases where two
represent one aspect, one will
come from the northern part of
tho county and one from the
southern part.
Already named to the commit
tee are Mrs. Andrew Skiles, home
economics (north) and Dick
Wilkinson (south), livestock;
Tad Miller, wheat; and Norman
Nelson, weed control.
Anderson pointed out that the
state extension service absorbed
one cut after the October elec
tion, but this more drastic sec
ond cut was ordered following
the special session of the legis
lature. It channeled through the
State Board of Higher Education
under whose jurisdiction the ex
tension service operates.
Most of the 18 agents whose
work will be terminated are en
gaged in 411 work.

Water Main Topic
At City Session
Heppner's city council has
lever been plagued with long
neetings, but the regular meet
ing December 2 was one of the
shortest in many months, requir
ing only about a half hour.
Main topic concerned water
Improvements. Supt. Vic Grosh
ens said that water pipe has
been received for the project to
provide additional water for the
new school and work is under
way. First part of the line over
the Fred Mankin property has
been laid, but the recent freeze
has brought a temporary halt
to the work.
The council authorized pur
chase of a new pipe locator to
find old underground water
mains. The city's old locator has
worn out, it was reported by
Councilman hd Gonty.
Another action by the coun
cil authorized setting up a no
parking zone in the vicinity of
the city hall to expedite the de
parture of fire trucks from the
station across the street. The big
trucks need the room to turn in
leaving the fire barn. In recent
months, the large rural truck
has twice ticked parked vehicles
there.
It was decided that parking
meters might be hooded for one
Saturday prior to Christmas upon
request of the Chamber of Com
merce merchants commit t e e
This will be on December 21.
