eral years' experience.
The "Greyhound" bus of the
district will be stationed at
bus sheds in Heppner in
future by action taken by
board. The directors agreed to
purchase a diesel tank and ac
cessories to use in supplying
fuel for it. The move was made
in order that maintenance items
could re taken care of at the
shops. U was formerly station

ized a number of years ago, this 1
to recognize their service on the ;
board.

district for tuition of students
in the Ordnance area, living in !
Morrow county, to go to the
Hermiston schools. Howe v e r, ,
with seven students now locat- i
ed there, the board decided to
consider transporting them to

Supt. Potter reported on a pro
posed plan for multi-use of the
school's George property, near
Heppner elementary school. He
suggested a joint meeting with
rodeo and fair officials to work
out a plan. The community
groups are interested in devel
oping the area for parking dur
ing rodeo, he said, at no cost
to the district.
Hall Heat Troublesome
A special meeting at Hepp
ner High school was tentatively
set October 17 to look over
the problem of heating hall.s.
Ihis has given trouble since the
building was constructed, and
small heating units installed
later must be replaced often.
Supt. Potter reported that a
heating unit that could be used
in connection with existing
boilers would cost $1Su0, but no
funds are provided in the budg
et for this purpose except those
in the capital outlay emergen
cy fund. It contains $10,000, but
one board member pointed out
that the entire winter is still
ahead and there may be many
uses for the money.
Shop Discussed
Concern for facilities of the
vocational program at Heppner
High was expressed by Supt.
Potter. Tentative plans have
been drawn up with the aid
of Leno Christenscn. Oregon
State University agricultural en
gineering professor, for a shop
for future consideration.
The board approved purchase
of S1400 in equipment for the
shop program at Heppner High.
The school previously has had
a vocational-ag program but
not a shop program, and the
instructor requested the equip
ment for the shop use. It was
felt that items may be cut in
other parts of the Heppner High
budget to provide this need.
