(G-T Photo) County Office Makes Good Use of School After looking at the new Mor row county school district of fices In the .. Lexington school building, the big question is. How did they ever get it all in the small space in the courthouse?" With virtually all of the equipment, records, furniture and supplies moved in but not vet fully unpacked and -ar ranged, the county school head quarters makes good utility of most of the sizeable building. In one Jblg room on the first floor is the main district office. Mrs. Jack (Shirley) Loyd, secre tary, shares this with Mrs, Ar thur (Alice) Vance, new district clerk, although a partition sepa rates their working areas. In an adjoining room is the office of David Potter, county school superintendent. Located in a large lower level room is tne em Dry o central sup ply room, which will be used to store paper, chalk, and all manner of supplies to serve all schools In the district Jim John son, who will work about half time at the district level and teach the remaining time at lone, is in the process of setting up a perpetual inventory sys tem and will be in charge of issuing supplies as needed. ' Across the hall. In another former classroom, is what they are- calling the "production room." Here is where mimeo graphing will be done, as well as photocopying and other such work, with the equipment moved there from the courthouse to handle these Jobs. Next to Supt Potter's office In another room," where furrow ed brows once puzzled over prob lems -and teachers' questions. will be book storage for the county. This library will store all new texts and wiU have sample textbooks, furnished without charge by publishers, on hand for consideration. This "il' also be used for small con ferences, and supply catalogs will be in this room for refer- ence. Old records of the district will be kept in either of two rooms upstairs, and the auditorium, al so upstairs, which is equipped with 186 good theater-type seats, will be used for board meetings. If turnout of spectators is small, it will be possible to use the conference room downstairs. Even the gym can be utilized. Johnson explains that this will be used for storage on shipment of large items to the district to be distributed from there.

It wn th! latter storm apparently that resulted In the death of Mrs. HJwln Redman when their home was washed away In Spears Canyon. 12 miles east of Pendleton. Residents of the upper Butter Creek area estimated that at much water came in this spout as there was in the January flood. Some 200 tons of hay were lost there. Fast approach on the bridge on Big Butter Creek at the old Vey plate was washed out and the county road was damaged with washouts on fills at the same places that the January flood hit. County Judge Paul Jones, who went to the scene Wednesday, said that a crew would be dis patched there to make repairs, and an estimated 203 or 3i yards of fill material would be needed to do the Job. Jones Placo Hit . Ironically, Judge Jones' place in the Clarks Canyon area was one of the hardest hit b- the storm. He lost all his cross fen ces from the head of Fuller Can yon to Clarks Canyon as-well as all machine crossings.

A strike disrupted power ser vice to the TV system, Don Wiese, technician for Heppner TV, Inc., said. Only one ampli fier was damaged in the storm, and Wise said that he felt the system "was lucky." Young said that the strike near the Hager power nole caused a short that started a blaze at the pole. City firemen were called and put out the fire. Lights blinked here occasion ally in the evening, apparently from strikes to main transmis sion lines elsewhere. Young said. He, too, said that the power system fared well in the storm, and added that difficulties were limited to the relatively minor troubles in this area. No trouble at all was experienced on the Columbia Basin systems in Wheeler and Gilliam counties. Kinzua Golfers Due Here Sunday Members of the Kinzua Golf club will come to Heppner Sun day for a day of play on the Willow Creek course with the local club as hosts. Competition will be for a rotating trophy, which the Kinzua group now holds. Allen Nistad of Kinzua said that they would bring the trophy on the Heppner trip but said it probably is not neces sary because they expect to take it back with them. Breakfast will be served at the clubhouse at 7:30, and tee- off will follow. Luncheon will be at 12:30. Wilow Creek club leaders urge all their stalwarts to turn out to entertain the visitors and do their best to regain the trophy.
