Heppner, Oregon 97836, Thursday, June 23,
Cheerleaders to Fly
To Squaw Valley
Pam MeCabe, Peggy Snyder,
Verlna French, and Marsha
Lovgren Heppner High cheer
leaders, are looking forward to
their summer's training ses
sion with extra Interest this
year. They , will go to the
Squaw Valley Cheer Leader
Camp from June 28 until
July 2.
Part of the thrill of the trip
will be provided by Orvllle
Cutsforth who has offered to
fly the girls down and back
In his plane., He will stay with
his daughtur In Sacramento
during the Jour days of the
camp. i
High school leaders from all
over the country attend the
Squaw Valley camp. The girls
will study stunts, yells for all
sports, skits, chants, routines,
tumbling, sportsmanship and
way of bolstering school spir
it. They will participate In
practice pep rallies, bonfires
and parades. Sparetlme racrea
Hon at the camp in the Olym
pic ViUage will Include ten
nis, hiking, Ice skating, swim
ming and sky rides.
Decision to go to a different
yell leader's school was made
because three girls had at
tended the school at Lewis
and Clark the previous year.
Costs of the trip are shared
by the school and the stu
dents. Jones, Cutsforth
Explain Proposed
Parks District
County Judge Paul Jones and
Orvllle Cutsforth, chairman of
the county parks commission,
explained the proposal to es
tablish a county parks district
at the meeting of the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce Monday.
The district was proposed re
cently by the parks commission
following a Joint meeting with
the county planning commis
sion. It would Include all of the
county with the exception of
Boardman and Irrlgon where
districts are already set up.
Judge Jones said that the
district would seek to match
state and federal funds with
funds from the local level. The
state marine fund of some $2400
would be available but it must
be used in connection with ma
rinas only. Funds available
through the new Federal con
servation fund would make
some $6200 to $6400 available
annually to the county.
A tax levy, expected to be
about one-half mill, would pro
vide matching money. At the
present time the county includes
$2000 in Its budget for parks,
so the difference that would be
raised in added taxes would be
$6000 approximately.
Because of a restriction in the
law that requires that a dis
trict be formed for a certain
number of weeks before the
matter is submitted to the coun
ty assessor for inclusion on the
tax rolls, the judge said that
it probably would not be possi
ble to form such a district this
year, even if the public favors
it. However, it is possible that
it may be ready to be submit
ted to voters at the time of the
general election in November.
Cutsforth said that he met
with Robert Wilder of the State
Parks and Recreation division
last week in connection with
the proposed Swale Creek im
poundment. Wilder was of the opinion
that the idea of using match
ing federal funds for develop
ment of the site, which is on
U. S. Forest Service land, would
not be possible because of the
fait that federal funds cannot
be matched with federal funds.
Giving of the site would prob
ably be construed the same as
federal funds he told Cutsforth.
Cutsforth said that in view of
this, the parks commission is
checking on the possibility of
leasing the site. However, if
this is done, the clearing would
have to be done by the local
group and not by the For est
Service. He said that he is
checking further also on the
question of whether the giving
of the land by the Forest Serv
ice would be construed as
"matching federal funds with
federal funds." i
Nevertheless, the parks com
mission chairman said that if
the Swale Creek project cannot
be accomplished, the county has
several other sites that should
be developed, including those
on Rock Creek, Ditch Creek and
at North Jones Prairie. The
parks district should be formed
to get "revolving fund money"
on hand in order to be prepared
for needed development, he
said.

Work of Mike Benge, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Terrel L.
Benge of lone, with the Mon
tagnards in Vietnam is des
cribed in an article that ap
peared in the Oregon Journal
last Thursday.
Rolla J. Crick, military edi
tor of the Journal, wrote the
article while accompanying
Robert Dwyer, Portland lum
berman, on a mission for the
U. S. Agency for Internation
al Development.
The writer described his vis
it with the Montagnards and
then interviewed Benge, who
has been serving in Vietnam
for three years. He is assist
ant province representative at
Ban Me Thout for the U. S.
Agency for International De
velopment. The lone man discussed the
possibilities that rhemical fer
tilizers have in the agricul
tural development there. He Is
engaged in teaching the Mon
tagnards but realizes that it
will take time. There have
been cases of using too much
fertilizer and burning rice
crops with it.
"The point to remember
here is that this is showing
a farmer a new way to do
something and that is hard
even in the states, where peo
ple have more education than
they do here," Benge was
quoted as saying.
