While district and local can didates for office were present, together with county and city officials and party leaders, it was strictly "Tom McCall night, and remarks from others were held to a minimum at the dinner. McCall. who was visiting Hep pner for the first time although lie was reared on a ranch near Prlnevllle, brought up the crime problem in relation to the Secre tary of State's membership on the State Board Control, which has the responsibility for the state's institutions MacLaren School is now build ing cottages for 325. By the time they are completed, he said, room will be needed for jyd. "We need a much better job of prevention and a more intensi fied system of correction," he declared.

Social work would also be done with parents. McCall said that such a system has been tried very successfully in New Jersey. Teachers in lower grades in school can predict social be havior problems that may de velop in some of their students, he said. "Dedicated teachers can take these children, and if they stay with them from the 2nd to 8th grades, can. with loving care, steer them on a straight path." The candidate, who has a lone record of association with organizations of social concern, declared, "Many children never hear more than five-word sen tences except when the parents get In a drunken brawl." The "sentences" consist main ly of things the child is for bidden to do and orders that he is given. "When he gets to the lirst grade, the teacher is Incompre hensible to such a child," Mc Call said. "In the next decade there is the possibility that a million kids will be turned into bums, and they are not 'bum' kids," he said. "The population is growing faster than job opportunities." He emphasized the need for slbility of a "Halfway House" education, saying.

County Agent Nels Anderson said that it was the biggest fleece that he had ever heard of. Bill Rawlins, who Is well versed on sheep, said that he has read about 40 lb. fleeces in England but never expected to see a 60 lb. fleece. The fleece came from an old sheep that hadn't been shear ed for three or four years. Ordinarily, if a sheep is not sheared, the fleece will be shed, but this one didn't shed and the staple is some 11 inches long. Needless to say. Peck's entry won a sweepstakes ribbon. Perhaps some old timers who recall the great days when Morrow county was really In the sheep business can come up with a story to beat this, but it is incredible to those of younger years. With teaching and ad mi ni.it ra live staffs now complete, a full complement of Instructors will be on hand in Morrow county schools Monday mornlne to erect students for the first day of school for the year 1964-63. Last teacher to be hired was Clarence Bare, former teacher in Condon, who will teach a sixth grade In Hcppner elementary. His wfle. Mrs. Bare, also will teach in Heppner elementary, havin? been hired previously. During the summer, he has been working on the ranch or Kaipn Crum. In all. there are 89 teachers and administrators on the coun ty staff, including David R. Pot ter. county superintendent Registration at Heppner High school was completed Tuesday, although some students were unable to be present and count on the student body will not be completed until next week. It was a busy day for the staff, however, one reporting that "we were nearly run rapeed." First erade pudus and pupus new to the community are asked to report to Heppner elementary school during tne day maay, Throughout the county, classes will ooen on a lull scneduie Monday, and buses will operate on all routes. The county oince has notified rural families of the bus runs, but If there are any Questions they may call the office at 676-9248. At Lexington, for the first ear there will be no local school. The school had the first through fourth grades last year, but these children will be trans ported this year. Buses will take them, alone witn tne nign scnooi students of the community, to either lone or Heppner, accord- in? to their choice. There will be four pickup points in Lexington and lam ilies with children there have been notified of places and times. If any have not been con tacted, however, they should call the county office.

Whether they will top last year's record remains to be seen, but-. Chairman Jones states that it Is planned to hold each after noon performance to two hours and 45 minutes. Mankin states that there are more trophies and awards than A list or tnese is of this paper. Purses for the rodeo total $1550. being distributed among the various events calf roping, bareback riding, bulldogglng, team roping, bronc riding, bull riding, wild cow milking, and many different races. A special novel attraction on this year's programs will be a new Chamber of Commerce event calf roping. The cow riding was a popular crtowd pleaser last year, but It was felt that a chanee of events might be enjoyed even more by the crowd this year. Locke has been recruiting performers for the attraction, the only qualifi cation being that they have no experience in ropine. Again this year stock of John Van Belle of Outlook, Wn., will be used in the rodeo, Bill Jones of Vancouver, Wn.. will be the announcer, and Eric Muehleisen of Enumclaw, Wn., will add amusement with his antics as a clown. Friday's horse show, actually the concluding event of the fair is a great event for all horse lovers, and those who at tend will see outstanding ani mals worth many thousands of dollars. Halter and performance classes are scheduled with the champion performance horse to receive the new Jerry Daggett revolving trophy. Concluding event on the program will be the always popular cow cutting. SuDt Fted Mankin. who has spearheaded the horse show for many years, anticipates a large field of entries. Like the rodeo, the trophy list for the horse show is longer than ever this ye"- . . The episcopal cnurcn win to the southeast on Court, cross have charge of concessions for the wooden bridge and go via the mortuary to the swim pool area for disbanding. This Is to eliminate congestion at the main street intersections. Entrants will be competing for $475 in prizes again in the pa rade, and there is still time for whipping together some prize winners. Kids are especially in vited to take part The list oi prizes offered is included in the ad on page 1, section 2. Any who have questions may ept the answers from Chairman Peterson at Peterson's Jewelers.
