county this year than it has for
many years. :

tion and that it is up to the

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

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

Dick Krebs, Cecil, Republican
incumbent for the two-year term

ing of the commission.
Sariif Pnrriih. who is unoD
posed for another term in her
capacity as county clerk, was in
troduced by Lindsay.
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!

W. W. 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.

Burns, Umatilla

(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.
