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. TYPING PAPFR, Mimeograph

ington made the motion to close
the school on the conditions ask
ed by the community with the
exception of the 2:30 bus and the
activity bus, to be determined
later by the transportation com
mittee. After more discussion, it
was decided to concede the point
on the activity bus and defer
only the decision on the 2:30 bus.
The motion was approved by a
vote of four yes and none no,
although Director Andy Van
Schoiack abstained. Dire c t o r
Howard Cleveland was absent.
Most Teachers Rehired
Directors considered teacher
contracts in an executive sess
ion and later reconvened in open
meeting to act on them. All but
five teachers will be offered con
tracts. Ron Ingle will not return
to the Heppner High faculty, and
John Cummings, also of the Hep
pner High faculty, has submit
ted his resignation. Other resig
nations have been received from
Anita James, lone; Mrs. Lois
Kirk, Heppner elemetnary; and
Myron Riddle, Irrigon.
It was agreed on motion that
was passed unanimously that
the teacher salary schedule for
1963 be continued for the 1964
65 school year.
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. He asked the
school to be included as a cus
tomer, even though it has its
own well. Mayor Wilson said
that this development Is con
sidered crucial to Irrig o n ' s
growth. It will be set up and
financed on a land improvement
basis.
It was pointed out that the
school well has gone dry on oc
casion, and the mayor felt that

the city and the school district

parties.
Board members seemed to con
cur and Chairman Milton Mor
gan said that he would appoint
a committee to work with the
city on the matter.
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.
