District Board Eyes Bus Lease Plan
Can the Morrow county school
district lease buses, rather than
buy them, at savings for the
district?
This was one of the questions
discussed at the regular school
board meeting Monday night,
April 13. The directors have been
considering a lease-purchase
plan but have not determined
whether it would effect greater
economy for the district.
Dircetor Irvin Rauch said that
the district should advertise for
buses now if it expects to have
them for the coming school year.
If the budget does not pass, he
said, the bids could be rejected.
Director Andy Van Schoiack
suggested that the district buy
one bus and lease one bus and
thereby determine which meth
;od provides the greatest econ
omy. At the end of the discussion
it was decided that the district
would issue two calls for bids,
the first calling for purchase of
one andor two 54-passenger
buses with the bids to be open
ed on May 11 (a week after the
budget vote), and the second
calling for bids on lease of one
andor two 54-passenger buses
with the bids to be opened May
11. The board has the power to
reject any or all bids, and can
make its decision on which way
to go after the bids are received.
Only two buses will be obtained
regardless of the method used.
Playground Flan Given
Principal Hillard Brown of
Heppner elementary school pre
sented a plan to the board call
ing for utilization of the George
property. He showed a diagram
. that would use part of the prop
erty for enlarging of the elemen
tary playground after removal
of the house to a higher part of
the property. An offer has been
made to the district by a party
who would level lower part of
the property in exchange for the
house which he would move to
upper ground. A small part of
the property would go to the
party, unnamed at the meeting,
as a location for the house.
The leveling would not only
provide additional needed play
space, Brown said, but would
provide more parking space at
the far end for buses. He sug
gested that a bridge by the bus
sheds be moved for better access
to the parking area.
Brown asked for board per
mission to proceed on the project
by consulting the State Depart
ment of Education for approval
of the playground plan, after
which the board could consider
a contract with the private party.
The permission was granted, and
a committee composed of Direc
tors Howard Cleveland, Ken
Batty, and Van Schoiack will
work with him.
Vandalism Noted
Director Van Schoiack called
attention to vandalism being
done at Heppner High school,
pointing particularly to cutting
of screen doors at the kitchen
entrance. He suggested that more
publicity be given to this van
dalism to call it to the attention
of residents.
What is becoming a pestifer
ous problem how to dispose of
the Pine City school property
came up again. An offer of
$250 has been received for the
property but because of clauses
in the deed that say it might be
reverted to original owners if no
longer used for school purposes,
clear title cannot be given.
It was decided to advertise the
property in the paper for two
weeks, offering it for sale on a
bargain and sale deed, which,
in effect, sells all the rights of
the district to the property, as
Attorney Bob Abrams explained
it. At the same time a letter will
be written to those now renting
the property to advise them of
this intention.
Survey Proposed
Director Harvey Warner
broached the matter of the River
side High controversy by pro
posing that the State Department
of Eductaion be asked to make
a survey on recommendations

for the schools in the north end
of the county. He said that such
a survey was made a number
of years ago, but suggested that
a new one might shed some
light on the location problem
and it should be current. Direc
tor Roy Partlow of Boardman
said that he did not object to the
survey, and the motion was
passed to request it.
Director Cleveland said that
costs for the Heppner High
sprinkler system will be within
$2000 and moved that sprinkler
heads be bought now with $500
to be allowed for a portable sys
tem. The motion was approved.
The board approved election
boards for the annual school
election on May 4'.
It passed a motion approving
the move of Joe Hausler from
lone High to Heppner High as
science teacher at his request.
School Calendar Set
The board discussed and ap
proved a calendar worked out by
Principal Brown for the coming
school year. It calls for school to
start August 31, the early date
because of the fact that rodeo
will be over earlier this year and
Labor Day will be on September
7, considered too late to hold
the start of school for the holi
day. Teacher workshop will be Aug
ust 26-28. School will be dis
missed for the Pendleton Round
up Friday, September 18, for
Veterans' Day, Wednesday, No
vember 11; for Thanksgviing, No

vacation from Tuesday, Decem

4.
Spring vacatiom will be a full
week, March 23-26, 1965, and
last day of school wlil be May
26, 1964.

County Promotes
Anti-Beef Import
Program in State
A domestic beef selling pro
gram, which spokesmen for the
cattle industry believe will
spread throughout the entire na
tion, was unfolded last Wednes
day afternoon at a press confer
ence in the office of the Oregon
Beef Council at the Imperial Ho
tel in Portland.
Announcing the program had
the enthusiastic endorsement
and support of Governor Mark
O. Hatfield, Beef Council mem
ber Harry Stearns declared that
in excess of 100 Safeway stores
in Oregon and Southwest Wash
ington and over 1,000 member
stores of the Oregon Indepen
dent Grocers' Association will
sell only beef grown in the Unit
ed States.
Hope was expressed that the
campaign, started April 16 and
the first of its knid, would rap
idly spread to other states.
Materials meant to alert the
consumer to purchase domestic
meats and lessen the impact of
imports have been provided
stores here by the Morrow Coun
ty CowBelles. Triangular red,
white and blue signs for store
windows, front doors and meat
cases state "Our store sells beef
grown only in the U.S.A." Food
store advertising around the
store advertising around the
state boldly indicates that "our
store sells only beef grown in
the U.S.A."
Asserting that beef imports
last year cost the Oregon cattle
industry more than 10 million
dollars, Richard Westerberg, Beef
council chairman, said he was
hopeful the campaign would re
store much of that business.
Beef is an industry basic to the
West," he affirmed. "There must
be a cutback in imports." He
characterized the promotion plan
the most important undertaking
in tne nistory oi tne Council.
Referring to the urgency of the
promotion, Walter Schrock, pres
ident; of the Oregon Cattlemen's
Association, declared beef and
veal imports last year represent
ed more than three million cat
tle that could have consumed
thirty billion pounds of U. S.
grain and used twelve million
acres of land.
Last Thursday mornine presi
dents of the CowBelles organi
zations from 20 Oregon counties
met at the Imperial Hotel and
were furnished promotion kits
and materials. Included were
window decals, counter cards,
posters, car bumper strips, mats

Buick has a great transmission.
An automobile transmission, we grant
you, isn't the most soul-stirring subject on
earth. Nothing to look at either.
But if you'd like for your next new car to
give you a better break on performance
, and gasoline mileage, something happened
last week to be your guide.
The Los Angeles to New York Mobil
Economy Run proved one thing for sure.
There's quite a difference in the trans
missions of new cars.
Three out of four for Buick
The long-time champion in the transmis
sion league Huick walked off wiih the
14 economy pennant. No oilier single
make of car won as many events as iiuick.
Four entries, three winners.
The winning Special carried the new Super
Turbine 00 automatic transmission; the
LeSabre was equipped with the Super
Turbine AM (both optional at extra cost).
They're the latest in a long line of liuick
transmissions well known for rheir smooth
ness and absence of "shift feel". Hie Super
Turbine is a relined and improved torque
converter type to help you safely pass cars
and trucks as well as gas stations,
you'll heat a lot about it in the next couple
of years as this modern kind of transmis
sion is adopted by more and more car
builders.
What about engines?
Of course, an elhcient transmission gets
more ctliticnt when teamed up with a
lean, agile engine. The winning Buick
power plains were our new V-6 and V-8,
The -t(H) cubic inch V-8 in the winning
Huick Special (the lowest priced of all
Huk ks) and the liuick LeSabre (rhc lowest
priced hi;; Hunk) is like a well-conditioned
fighter. All muscle, no fat. Weighs in at
lar less than other V-H's of similar punth.
It took every other V-8 in the Economy Run.
Your type of driving regular ftitit
I he Run was through cities and towns,
across super highways, in trallic, out of
trallic. This was not race track driving or
proving ground driving. This was your
kind of driving even though you can't
expect to get as good mileage as these
expert drivers in their finely tuned ptoduc-
tion cars. The distance was 3, 243 miles,
about what most families log in four
months. All three ltuitks used regular gas.
So the Economy Run is not just a cross
country tour tot the Mobil people and a
few car bufls. It's a reliable test of a car l
power team and what it's able to squeeze
out of its fuel.
V.'e don't expect everybody to rush out
this week-end to buy a new Huick just
because we won a tew economy trophies.
There arc so many other good reasons tor
leaning to Huick that economy usually
gets second billing, ''here's styling, natu
rally. An unusually great rule, lixtraordi
n.iry engineering and workmanship. And
very young perlormance. Small wonder
Huick sales arc running at 11.5 over last
year.
Hut it's nice to get economy as a plus in a
Huick. Heyond the dollars saved on gaso
line, there's a certain pride in knowing you
have a car that's built to get the most out
of every tank of gasoline.
