Tom McCall Says Crime Increase
Ranks as Greatest of Problems
Increase in the nation's crime
rate, cllmblne in the proportion
of 5 to 1 as compared with the
nooulation increase, is our great,
es' problem, including the spread
or communism, 10m iwccuu, ite
publican candidate for Secretary
of State, told 40 persons at a
dinner held in his honor at the
Wagon Wheel Cafe Tuesday
night.
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

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

He suggested that more atten

Laren. 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. "Any child

Big Fleece Amazes
Morrow Fairgoers;
Weighs 60 Pounds
A 60 lb. fleece entered In
the Morrow County Fair by
Harold Peck of Heppner has
Morrow county fairgoers bat
ting their eyes.
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

Registration at Heppner High
school was completed Tuesday,

Throughout the county, classes

the bus runs, but If there are
any Questions they may call the

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

in? to their choice.
There will be four pickup
points in Lexington and lam

Two buses will come to Hepp

$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
