that he thought legislative ac
tion could attack. He emphasized
one solution. He said he would
seek copoeration with the State
Motor Vehicles Department to
have a picture of every licensed
driver appear on his driver's li
cense. He said this would make
It much easier for the Liquor
Commission to combat the prob
lem of liquor being sold to min
ors. Speaking of the economy of
this legislative district, Buch
anan said, "As a farmer I know
that agriculture is the broad
base of our economy. I want
to do all that I can to streng
then that base. But at the same
time I realize that our region
must bo further industrialized
as rapidly as possible to lessen
the heavy tax load that agri
culture carries."

by the board because they ex
ceeded the $18,000 available for
the job.
Cleveland said that he was ad
vised that changes in the pro
posed heating system could re
sult in a considerable savine.
Another type system that would
eliminate much duct work was
proposed. The architect is now
working on revised plans and
will submit a preliminary plan
to the board for consideration
soon.
Melby Presents Case
Arnold Melby, band director in
the Heppner schools, appeared
before the board after writing
the directors a letter asking that
he be advanced a step on the
salary schedule because of qual-
ltylng work that was completed
late last year. The system has
a policy that every teacher must
earn nine credit hours every five
years to advance on the salary
schedule. Melby said that extra
work assigned him at lone last
year prevented him from taking
a course during the school year,
and he was unable to take the
work during the summer because
of the illness of his wife.
He said, however, that he took
a course at Hermiston in the fall
that required 900 miles of driv
ing and considerable cost.
His plea was that the board
should grant the extra step on
the schedule to be retroactive to
the start of the current school
year. Melby now receives $7889
per year, and the additional step
would provide $325 more.
In addition, Melby said that
the board in 1962 adopted a merit
pay plan for teachers with qual
ifications beyond the masters de
gree that would allow $150 in
creases per year for those with
45 hours beyond the masters de
gree. He said that he received an
initial $150 Increase but did not
receive the authorized additional
$150 for the current year.
The board in its executive ses
sion denied his first request on
the grounds that credit hours
must be earned before the start
of the school year.
Considerable confusion seem
ed appraent among the direc
tors on the merit pay point, and
Supt. Wayne Brubacher said that
he is having difficulty interpre
ting the rule set by the board
in 1962, saying that it is worded
in sucn a manner that it can
be interpreted in several ways
Chairman Morgan said that
he would name a committee to
study the matter and work out
an interpretation of the merit
pay plan.
Rental Plan Aid Asked
Bob Rietmann of the lone ad
visory board reported to the di
rectors that the textbook rental
program at lone has a deficit of
$1100 and has been borrowing
from student body funds. If it
were not for the deficit, he said,
the student body funds would
have a balance of about the
same amount $1100.
He asked the board for $750
for the student body funds un
til the textbook rental plan
could catch up. Attorney Bob
Abrams, however, said that it
would be illegal for the board
to take this action on the
grounds that it cannot supply
the textbooks in the high school,
and though it would be loaning
to the student body, any action
that is illegal directly is also ill
egal when it is done indirectly
The board decided to study the
matter further.
House Disposal Talked
The George property came up
for discussion again, and it was
affirmed that the district should
not sell the property, but should
consider disposal of the George
house. A committee, composed of
Andy Van Schoiack, Ken Batty,
and Howard Cleveland, was ap
pointed by Chairman Morgan to
decide what steps might be ta
ken.
Civil Defense Course Set
Supt. Wayne Brubacher asked
the board to consider a Civil
Defense proposal to offer a 12
class hour course for senoir high
school students on Civil Defense
in order that students might be
given an understanding of CD
work. Instructors giving the
course would be taken from the
system for two days training.
Friday and Saturday. They would
receive pay from the Federal
government for the Saturday
work, and on the Friday the
district would need to provide
substitute teachers for them.
Supt. Brubacher suggested that
Heppner might serve as the
training center for Morrow coun-

Committee Plan Okayed
A plan to form committees
composed of advisory members,
district superintendent and school
board members on buildings and

proved by the board. This was

proposed at a meeting of the
board with advisory committees
recently and is designed to give

lems and needs throughout the

Advisory boards will be asked
to appoint their members to
these committees.
