r HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Three More Men Announce Entry In Judge Race (Continued from page 1) of having a part in accomplish ing these things." Weatherford said that he feels the position of Judge is a "job encompassed by law", and that the judge has the obligation of doing what the people want him to do. "I will try to fulfill these obli gations to the best of my ability, according to law and what the people want done," he' said. Weatherford said that ' he - be lieves there is a "tremendous amount of potential in this coun ty." "It has to be developed, and we have to get it done," he said. Hamlin, who recently sold Barratt Sales Co. to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Pettyjohn, said that his slogan will be, "What's good for Morrow county is good for the people in it." "I think Oscar Petersdrr has done a good job, but 1 , think I can do a little better," he said. "Having sold my business, I have full time to put into doing the best possible job." Creswick. who at different times served as coroner and as sessor in Morrow county before being appointed justice of the peace In January, 19G3, said, "We need unification of efforts, agri culturally and industrially, to ex pand and diversify our economy, yet realizing that agriculture will always hold a dominant place in our economy. "I believe that there are many worthwhile projects in the county which need, but do not have, the support of the present county court. I believe that the road de partment can attain greater ef ficiency by the initiation of a cost accounting system and that the department should have a definite program of road con struction and maintenance based on at least a 10-year projection. "With the advent of the Boe ing complex in the north, end of the- county, the pressures for rec reation will be intensified far beyond our greatest expectations. We must begin to develop these assets now." He stressed the need for "un animous support" for the Willow Creek dam project, for the de velopment of the Swale Creek res ervoir on the Heppner Ranger district, for the Arbuckle ski area, and for the park on Rock. Creek. He also stressed the need for "bending all efforts" to conserve natural resources, particularly water, and pledged support to the Rhea Creek small watershed pro ject. "We should make every effort to complete the all-weather road up Shaw Creek grade to the Uma tilla county line, and every ef fort should be made towards the relocation of State .Highway 74 from Morgan to Arlington via Fourmlle Cnayon," he said. Weatherford has lived In Mor row county since 1917. and oper ates a ranch some 20 miles from Heppner. He was born and reared In Gilliam county. Weatherford attended Oregon State College for three years after going through high school in Wisconsin. He taught in Benson Polytechnic, Portland, before accepting a teaching position with the state department of vocational educa tion, after which lie went to ranching. Hamlin came to lleppner 13 years ago from Redmond. He op erated Barralt Sales Co. after purchasing it from Garnet Barratt about 21a years ago and former ly was employed by Barratt in the business. This is not Hamlin's first ven ture Into polities, since lie served on the Gresham city council for about six years. He served with the AEF for 2'i years In World War I and spent 2i years with the engineering division of the army in Panama, which exper ience, he believes, will be use ful if he is elected county judge. Creswick is owner of Creswick mortuary and served as coroner from 1952 to 1900. He formerly was associated with the U. S. Forest Service here, and from July 1961, to January, 19G3, was coun ty assessor, having been ap pointed to succeed the late Harry Dlnges. He was named justice of the peace last year and cur rently holds this office. His filing for judge means that the justice of the peace office will be open because it would have been necessary for him to seek election this year to that post if he wished to continue. Creswick is chairman of the development committee of the Heppner-Murrow county Chamber of Commerce and in that capacity has been active in pushing for such projects as the Willow Creek dam and the construction of a new short highway route to Arl ington.

To Dispose of Old Schools Solution to the problem of dis posing of some old school build ings and property may have been reached at the Monday meeting. Disposal of the Pine City school, deemed more costly to the district than beneficial, has been under consideration for some time, but it has been found that it was given years ago to the district for school purposes and if it were not used for such purposes, title reverts to the heirs. A delegation from Pine City appeared at the meeting and em phasized that that building is used for many community activ ities and they would not want to lose it. Attorney Bob Abrams, who has been studying this prob lem, said that he felt it best for the district to execute a bar gain and sale deed to the com munity organization at a consid eration of possibly $1. This seemed to be a satisfactory so lution to all, and a motion to that effect was passed. The same applies to the old Lena school. An individual there asked to remove the building, and a bargain and sale deed will be executed for the trans action. Mayor Wilson Speaks Mayor Chester Wilson of Irri gon spoke to the board, stating that the City of Irrigon is work ing towards a central water sys tem for the city.

Property Purchase Okayed Upon motion by Director Har vey Warner, the board agreed to purchase additional property north of the Irrigon school, ac cepting an offer of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gollyhorn who will sell a half-acre to the district for $362.88 and of the Terteling Company which will sell seven lots for $875. This will provide for expan sion that may be necessary there at a later time. Money has been budgeted for this purpose. Sprinkling System Eyed The need to do something about seeding and sprinkling the Heppner High practice athletic field, behind the new building, was stressed by Supt. Wayne Brubacher. He said that probably $2500 to $3000 would be required for a pumping system. "If we hope to get any use out of it, it must be seeded and sprinkled during the spring and summer," he said. Director Rauch suggested that the district call for bids on the pump and pipe needed, but it was decided to defer action un til a special meeting February 18 when Director Howard Cleve land, who has been working on the matter, will be present. House Given Ski Club Director Van Schoiack, who has been investigating disposal of the George house in Heppner, owned by the district, said that IF YOUR MIND IS IN QUESTION ABOUT INSURANCE NEEDS... 1 o Come In And Talk It Oyer With Us.

(Clint) McQuarrie was appointed a member of the coun ty school budget committee for a term of three years by vote of the directors. A lease on the Boardman teacherage sites, now owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, will be extended to November, 1964, by action of the directors The Corps said that the lease about to expire, could be extend ed to that time. The board also agreed to con vey a lease for five years at $1 per year to a private party using a small portion of school prop nly at lone to reach the creek for use as a waterhole. Mrs. Everett (Bernice) Struck nieier, director of student ac counts at Heppner High, and Puncipal Gordon Pratt told ' of the method of handling student body and activity funds at the school. They discussed account ing procedures and the condition of the funds there. This was in line with the new policy of hav ing a iaik each meeting on some phase of school work in the dis trict, and it proved very inform ative to the directors and aud ience.
