He proposed that a special school board meeting be held on Tuesday, September 22, at which every person would be given an opportunity to express himself on the site for the high school In northern Morrow county. The matter has been In contention between Irrigon and Baordman residents for several years, but final decision must be made very shortly in order to comply with the Army Corps of Engin eers time schedule for relocation of the Cltv of Boardman. Supt. Potter proposed that talks at this special meeting be limited to 10 minutes. The board would make no response.

Challenge to the Heppner- Morrow County Chamber trf Commerce by the new Heppner Jaycees for a tug-of-war at the Queen's Coronation Saturday night brought a prompt and scornful reply from the older organization Result Is that each organiza tion is now girding for the contest, set for 8:15 on that night at the fair pavilion. The fire was ignited when this challenge was read at the Monday Chamber of Commerce meeting: "The J u n i or Chamber of Commerce would like to chall enge the Senior Chamber to a tug of war at the Queen's Coronation next Saturday night. August 15, at 8:15 p. m. at the Heppner fairgrounds. "We know there are only 14 of us and 60 of you, with by far the most weight on the old men's side, but we feel these odds are jus right "We know who pulls hardest for Heppner, who the loser will be and who will be the wettest. Get your friends to help. Sign ed, The Jaycees." Frank Turner, spunky old timer in the Chamber, is not one to take such an impertin ent message lying down, and he promptly demanded that the members accept the chall enge. Frank was then named chair man of a committee to organ ije, recruit, train and mobilize for the event by Al Lamb, pres ident, and before the day was out. Turner had this call to the colors out in the form of a let ter to every C of C member: "The Heppner Junior Cham ber of Commerce, with only fourteen scrawny, lightweight members, has the audacity to challenge the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce, consisting of some fifty-five b lg-be Hied elbow-bending heavyweights, to a tug-of-war to take place at the Heppner Rodeo grounds on Saturday, August 15, at 8:15 p.m. "Both parties reserve the right to invite their friends to assist with the ordeal, so come on, you big hunks of sausage, to help defend the honor of the Senior Chamber, and we will make a bunch of monkeys out q( those little shrimps. "Invite your friends, and come one and all on Saturday, August 15. Sincerely, Frank Turner, chairman." As organized by the Queen Coronation committee, the tug- of-war will find a stream or water coming from a fire hose as the dividing line. Winners will be those who can pull the others through the water. Turner Indicated that Cham ber members who fail to appear are liable for trial for treason. JIM MYERS E. W.
