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.

Coach Gordon Meyers' lone

league start to Dufur In the first

however, this record will be
threatened. Kcho defeated Wes

"We expect a real tough

Three Problems Given
Three simulated problems
were presented to those attend
ing at the afternoon sessions af
ter the group was divided into
six sections in their special areas
of interest. These groups included-
1. The Decision Makers
(county and city officials and
other leaders whose responsibii
ity was to approve any action
proposed by the other groups).
2. Shelter. 3. Emergency Infor
mation. 4. Radiological Defense.
5. Health and Welfare. 6. Public
Services.
First problem on which they
were asked to focus their atten
tion was this: A large number
of people have been reported to
be moving by automobile from
the Portland area. Some have
passed through Heppner junc
tion following highway 74.
There are reports of fighting and
trafifc Jams. Mob action is tak
ing place. What problems will
these situations impose upon
local government and its agen
cies? In the buildup on the problem,
Farnsworth presented a series
of taped "radio news broad
casts" telling of the war emer
gency developing and an im
pending nuclear attack.
Each of the groups studied the
problems and wrote its recom
mendations. When they came to
a question that required a de
cision, they forwarded It to the
table of Decision Makers.

Doe Permits Due
To Bring Influx
Hunting nressure was Dretty
well off in the Heppner Ranger
district and surrounding coun
try over the past week as the
invuHinii armv of hunters re
duced considerably from opening
weeK-ena, accoraing io
from iiwn Lueore of the raneer
district and State Game Agent
liien wara. t
However, another influx of
hnntpr is exneeted this week
end when those who hold
antlerless permits will seeK to
fill their tags, some 3uuu per
mits worn issued for the HeDD-
ner area, Ward said. 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.
