Farm Bureau Meet Hears Aspirants Approximately 50 persons turn ed out at a meeting of the Mor row County Farm Bureau Tues day niffht to hear candidates from both parties present their platforms for the coming elec tion. Larry Lindsay, Lexin r t o n, master of ceremonies, welcom ed the audience and pointed out that the local political scene has stimulated more interest In the county this year than it has for many years. : First in line to speak to the group were justice of peace can didates. Avon Melby said she filed for the justice job after consider ing it for some time. She stress ed that she would be available for 24-hour duty if elected to the post. Bert Corbin, a write-in candi date for the position, said that the problems of juveniles in the county require close considera tion and that it is up to the people to set an example for the younger generation to live by. Corbin said that he had no cut and dried scheme for the solution of juvenile problems nut said that he would use every resource at his command to help solve the problems of our young er generation. The Rev. Earl Soward told the group he felt the justice of the peace1 musti bo impartial al though things don't always fall in line. Lindsay read a statement from Jim Devine, a fourth candidate for the justice position, who was unable to attend the meeting. In the statement, Devine said that, if elected, he will be avail able to work at the justice job and that his present employment at Lexington Implement Co. would not interfere, Dick Krebs, Cecil, Republican incumbent for the two-year term on the Port commission, said he is seeking1 reelection because he is interested in the progress and growth of the county.

Next in line to march to the podium were the candidates for county judge. This phase of the meeting opened on a note oi ens crirri when Rerl Akers. lone Re publican, charged that the "nnntn norms" writp - in cam paign of County Judge Oscar Peterson was "underhanded" and "unethical." He said he has doubts about the spontaneity of the campaign. Peterson was not at the meeting due to a contac ting meeting. Akfrs wr-nt on to sav that the county court must recognize the nrnhlnm nf thn countv and its people and must unite to keep the lines ot communication open between the court and the people. P:nil .TrinpK. Democratic candi date for the office, pointed to several proiects he tninKs vnai to the county. He said that the county should cooperate in every hlo wav with the Boeine Company to promote progress of the Boeing development, lie pointed to the need for road planning and the need for rec reational projects in the county. Ho stressed that the judge must take a strong and positive ap proach in his leadership role. Oliver Creswick, Republican, outlined several projects he pro poses including the need for a civil engineer to work with the court on better planning and de velopment: in the county. Cres wick also cited the need for more development in the recrea tion areas in the county. Frank Hamlin, Democrat, pointed out his availability for working full time in the office of ludge. He said that he feels his bnekground in business qual ifies him for the job. Hamlin stressed that the taxpayer is en titled to know where his tax dol lar is going and that the tax load should be shared equally by everyone. Haskell Sharrard, also a Dem ocratic candidate for the office was introduced to the group but Md not speak from the podium only! 25th Air cooled cotton enamel ing duck upper hi-cut with molded rubber out sole.

Weatherford, Democrat, said that the main industry in the county is agriculture and that it must be developed. He added that pains must be taken to develop any other industry which might move to the county- Irvin Mann, Stanfield, Repub lican candidate for the state leg islature from the 28th district, said that it is hard to impress upon people in metropolitan areas of the impact taxes havs on person's earning a living from their property. He said that tnis must be done by convincing them of the economic activities that the agricultural economy of this area generates for them. He said that an overburden of prop erty taxes on the people in this area could also hurt their econ omy. Mann corrected an error in a recent Gazette-Times story on the Republican rally held in Hepp nor. He said that he was reported to have said that the Democratic leadership favors regressive taxes such as sales, taxes and cigarette taxes. To this he said, "I plead not guilty. In the first place I don't know what that means. In the second place, I don't know what the Democrats think collectively about any tax or, for that matter, what the Re publicans think. I do know, how ever, that eastern Oregon Repub licans and Democrats alike think property taxes are too high." Martin Buchanan, Milton-Free-water Democrat for representa tive from the 28th district, said that he feels income taxes hold the answer to tax problems and that salus taxes are not the answer. He said that the people are willing to spend tax dollars for services in the state but they want to know where their money is going. He said education is needed for school dropouts to make them useful and solid cit ions. Community colleges fill a blind spot in the educational system and they must be pro moted, he said. A strong edu cation system is the best insur ance to keep up moral fiber, Bu chanan said. Williard Cromwell, Republi can candidate for Congress from the second Congressional district, said moral responsibility must be brought back to government. A representative should work as a watchman for his constituents, he asserted. Current foreign policy is on the same lines as the policy of ap peasement that Chamberlain fol lowed in 1939, Cromwell charged. In reference to recent wheat sales to Russia, he said that this nation is going on the theory that a fat communist is less dangerous than a hungry one. Don Turner, Republican can didate for a 2-year term as port commissioner, said that the south end of the county should have fair representation on the commission as its tax dollars are jncluded in the budget. Turner said he is seeking the job be cause he is interested in the de velopment of the county and that he has the time to do the job. He also said that the political scene in the county is too one sided and that he feels the con trol should be more evenly dis tributed. New Fire Control Officer Arrives Loren Lucore, new fire con trol officer for the Heppner Ran ger district, U. S. Forest Service, has arrived here to start work in that capacity. Lucore comes from Ellensburg, Washington, and has been with the Forest Service since 1956. He succeeds Chuck McLean who re cently resigned from the post on the district. Mr. and Mrs. Lucore have three children, Kenneth, 4, Eve lyn, 2, and Wendy, 1. The family has purchased the home of Mrs. J. O. Hager.

Pomona Grange To Meet Saturday An important meeting of the Morrow County Pomona Grange has been announced for Satur day, April 25, at the Lexington Grange hall, starting at 10:30 a. m.

Burns, Umatilla Prevail in Meet (Continued from page 1) run in the B field, therefore it stands as a record. In the A-2 grind, Yriate of Burns heaved the discus 139' 5'a" to better the old mark of 116' 10". Aschenbrenner, Enterprise high jumper, leaped 6' in that event to better the old mark of 5' 10". Lee Padberg, Heppner miler and half-miler, hit the tape ahead of the field in both his specialties and set a new record both times. In the mile, Padberg took the lead after one lap and ran the competition into the ground to win by 50 yards in a time of 4:34.9. The time eclipsed a mark of 4:40.4 set by Padberg in 1963. In the 880 event, he turned the same trick and ran the distance in 2:02.5 to erase his previous mark in the meet of 2:03.7, also set last year. Two other Heppner athletes who set marks in the meet were Tim Driscoll and Mark Brown. Driscoll turned in a 16.4 second timing in the 120-yard high hurdles to top the old standard of 16.8 seconds. Brown toured the oval in 11:14.9 in the two-mile event to claim a record. This is also the first, year that the two-mile has ' been run in the A-2 competition at the Heppner Invitational. Another interesting facet of the two-mile competition, of inter est to the local fans, is that the Mustangs finished 1-2-3 in the event. Aaron Smith and Terry Hutchens followed Brown to the tape to capture second and third place respectively. The other record to fall in the A-2 bracket was in the pole vault where Waterman, another member of the ' Burns "blitz kreig," cleared 10' 6" to better their previous mark of 10'. Another first-place winner for the Mustangs who came with in a whisker of a record was Bill Weatherford who clocked 22.6 in 180-yard low hurdles, just .3 of a second from the record. LARGE.
