Interest and effort demon- Shortage of Buses I Cuts Activity Use Since two buses that have been ordered by Morrow County School District earlier this year have not been delivered, the dls 1 trlct has been short of buses and ' has been unable to send them for student spectator use to some of the football games to distant minii Cunt rtnvlit R. Potter said Wednesday. , . In one Instance, the tradeln has been turned over for the new bus, but the new vehicle has not arrived. This leaves the dis trict one short. A rumor has been prevalent that a new school policy Is op posed to sending spectator bus es to the games. This has caused some comment from those who feel opposed to allowing stu dents traveling by car to towns some distance away. Supt. Potter said that the pol lev Is quite the reverse. The ad mlnlstrators are In favor of the spectator buses under the terms specified by the district and do not wish the students to travel to the games In cars unless they are with their parents. The sit uation will be alleviated when the new buses arrive. The district furnishes the spec tator buses and pays for their operation, but riders must pay for the drivers' salaries. At the meeting Tuesday night the district board reaffirmed its policy and added a clause that the administrator of the school will arrange for a supervisor on these trips, and It will be the supervisor's responsibility to open the school building when the bus returns home at night In order to permit students to call their parents to come and get them. The supervisor will stay at the building for a reas onable length of time to allow for the students to be picked up. Krtisor on the bu.

However, tlas extends to tne UKian coun try and to Long Creek. 'You could lose that many hunters in such a big area and never know they were there," he said. "But there will be a lot of hunters coming through Heppner." Conditions have been poor for hunting in the woods. There hasn't been as much rain in the mountains as there has been in the lowlands, Ward said. Lucore said that most hunt ers have done a good job of cleaning up their camps, but he said he found one camp site that was the "worst mess" he had ever seen. Garbage and de bris were scattered all over. He said photos were taken to show an example of "how not to do it." Lucore added that the iden tity of the hunters in the party li known.
