HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Board Proposes Park District (Continued from page 1) district would operate on a tax levy of about mill per year. This would provide approxi mately $SO0O. which could be matched by similar funds from the federal government. Other sources ol funds and help are available from the slate level, too. OuUforth said that the State Came Commission might provide he encineerinc for the project and that the commission also would stock the impound-j ment wiih fish. At the present time, the eoun tv levies S2000 per year in its budget for park purposes- The park district would eliminate the need for this sum. and so the net cost to the taxpayers of the county (exclusive of the two north end districts would be $oXX) pet year. Cutsforth linted out. Besides maintenance of the two other parks, the district al so might be able to develop the North Jones Prairie site (one mile above Arbuckle Mountain) and eventually sites on Rock Creek and Ditch Creek. Dean 250 Feet Wide Proposed dam on Swale Creek would have a crest of 250 feet and would be 35 feet high, it would hfive a concrete spillway. Cutsforth ent to Salem Wed nesday to see the State Engi neer about the needs in con struction of a spillway. He said that Bu'l Prairie was declared to be located in a cloudburst area, and the construction of the concrete spillway there requir ed all the funds that the game commission at one time had set aside for the construction of the Swale Creek dam. If the Swale Creek project is not declared to be in a cloud burst area, the spillway can be constructed at much less cost since it will not need to l-o nearly th. size for the larger c.verflow. The parks chairman aid that as a result of the Monday meet ing, the parks commission and planning commission have al ready started preliminary work in proposing the district to the people. The proposal must be advertised and eventually an election will be held. Cutsfortl- said that if all moves well and the publict will agree to the district, the devel opment could be underway within a year.

Barratt Remains 'One Man C of C (Continued from page 1) school?" He practices what he preaches too. for he iust recently hired an assistant without even checking his college grades. The appli cant's personality, character an'1 backcround activities earned him the job with Barratt, who simply stated, "He's smart enough for me n he has a col lege degree." Barratt's loyalties and ties are still strong with Heppner, and one of his biggest gripes comes when people around Corvallis confuse Heppner with Hermls ton. It's common when an OSU football chartered plane, head ing east or to the midwest, is alerted 45 minutes out of Cor vallis by Barratt, who always announces, "Now look up the canyon where you see the smoke that's Heppner." Both Jim and his wife, the former Dorotha Wilson, were born in Heppner in 1925. They started the first grade together and graduated together at Hepp ner High in 1913. Dorotha, a reg istered nurse, graduated from the University of Oregon. De spite this "obvious mistake" in her life, as Jim calls it, Barratt married her in 19-16 after a navy stint. After four years at OSC with a degree in Business Adminstra tion, Barratt worked for a year as assistant alumni director at OSU. In 1951, he moved over to athletics and became athletic business manager. He became assistant athletic director in 1964, under Slats Gill, and after Gill's death succeeded him in the top post. Recently a friend cautioned Jim not to let the magnitude and importance of his new job change him, or in other words, "don't get the big-head." A typical Barratt reply was, "You can't change a Heppner man." Tell the advertiser you saw it in the Gazette -Times.
