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

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.

Duffer Creek
And Gghfmile
Losses Heavy
Wldpread damage to ranch
e and county ral resulted
from storms of the waterspout
variety that hit lth a ven
geanre late Monday In Morrow
county.
They seemed t.j he centered
in two principal areas here, one
running from KL-htmile across
Clarks and Fuller canyons and
on to the Claude Graham pla-e
Just northwest of Heppner. and
the other hitting in the Butti-r
Creek area, with the stro split-
ung over tne ridges to Umatilla
county. 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. His cor-
jrals were lost and his spring
was filled with silt A county

Storm Halts TV,
Hits Power Pole
Lightning accompanying the
storm late Monday afternoon
brought a halt to television ser
vice over the Heppner cable sys
tem for about lj hours and
caused a fire on a pole serving
Jim Hager's irrigation pump on
the southeastern edge of town.
it cut out an oil switch on
Rhea Creek and disrupted ser
vice to Hardman, Ruggs and the
Eightmile area for a time, Har
ley Young, manager of Colum
bia Basin Electric Co-op said.
Otherwise, trouble on - power
systems In the area was lim
ited to a few blown transformer
fuses that affected individual
customers.
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.
