Questions. Criticisms Evoked
The proposal evoked a num

30 ter.sons present, as well as
some criticism.
Superintendent Dave Potter

cerns Is that of seventh and
eighth graders associating with

Service Station
Hit in Burglary
Cash estimated at $116 was
taken in a burglary of Howell's
Union Service Station here late
Friday night or early Saturday
morning, Chief of Police Dean
1 oilman said.
Entry to the station was gain
ed by going through a door to
the lube room on the north side
of the building. A door to the
office was then forced open by
a pry bar.
The prowler or prowlers then
took a key from a drawer to
gain entrance to a cabinet whore
the money was hidden. The cash
was taken but sacks that con
tained it were left behind.
Nothing else was found to be
disturbed in the station. Pearl
Heath, who opens the station,
discovered the loss when he
came to work about 7:05 a.m.
Saturday.
Chief Gilman said that he is
now checking leads on the burglary.
Plan
tent must go to the State De
partment of Education six
months before the plan Is Im
plemented. This, however, does
not commit the system to the
slxxlx plan.
It was suggested that the
committees visit programs In ex
istence elsewhere In the state,
talk to those Involved, and If
favor is found with the plan,
bring It up at an ensuing board
meeting for consideration. It
was suggested hat a prelimin
ary report from the committees
might be made jut the February

Only Few Parents At PTA
To Hear of School Proposals
School officials who had hoped
to get an estimate of parent re
action on two important issues
facing Heppner schools were
disappointed last Wednesday
when only 15 parents came to
the January PTA meeting in the
grade school multipurpose room.
A much larger group of teach

Principals Richard Carpenter

for the evening.
Supt. Potter spoke on the

IT IS BEARD in other cities that Heppner uses its parking meters for hitching posts, and this
picture, snapped recently, proves the point Brette Howell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tommy
Howell, owners of Economy Market prepares to "pork" her horse. Star, in front of her parents'
store. The meters are even better for "hay-eating automobiles" than for the modern gasoline
burners because they serve as an anchor for the bosses. But the question is: If tim expires

Master Zoning
Plan in Process,
Judge Tells BLM
A master plan for zoning Mor
row county is expected to be
completed in two or three
months by Cornell, Howland,
Hayes ana Merryfield, County
Judge Paul Jones said in Port
land Monday following a meet
ing with Bureau of Land Man
agement officials, a story in
the Oregonian of Tuesday re
ported. When It Is completed, hear
ings will be held by the coun
ty court and a proposal will be
put to the voters.
Zoning Is important to the
Bureau of Land Management's
decision on classification of
some 12.000 acres of BLM land
in the north end of the county.
Only zoned land may be sold
through the Public Sale Act of
1964.
The county planning commis
sion has prepared a zoning or
dinance for the northern part
of the county and information
al hearings have been held. How
ever, it is not in effect as yet
The master plan would be lor

The countv delegation was told
that classification of the north

we know what disposition is to

ule is a major item in the
school budget and the recom
mendations would raise the
amount spent for salaries ap
proximately $80,000 over the
amount spent for 1966-67. There
is some automatic increase un
der the present salary schedule,
however, approximating a total
of $20,000.
Morrow County's present sal
ary schedule is among the low
est for schools of comparable
size in the state, Supt. Potter
said. He estimates that the new
schedule would bring the salary
level here up to next year's ave
rage in the state.
Present indications are that
the state legislature may raise
its percentage of school support
money, and if the legislature
does this. Superintendent Potter

Service Station
Permit Granted
Dilemma that faced the city
council on whether to grant a
building permit for a service
station to be of wood construc
tion was resolved Tuesday when
Atlantic-Richfield changed the
application to an all-steel build
ing with brick facia.
The permit was granted on
the structure at a special coun
cil meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Cost was listed in the original
application at $40,000. It will
be on the corner of Center and
Main streets where the Case
building now stands.
Fred B. Cruse, regional con
struction and maintenance man
ager, and W. V. Thurman, his
assistant, met with the coun
cil. Cruse said that he is now
making arrangements for dem
olition of the old building and
construction on the service sta
tion is scheduled to start by
March 1.
At the regular January meet
ing, the council conditionally
granted the application subject
to modification or change of
construction materials. Only al
ternative would have been for
the council to change a city or
dinance relative to construction
in the downtown fire zone which
prohibits wood frame construc
tion in the zone.
When the company changed
the type of construction to steel
and brick, it resolved the prob

Carpenter and Martin then ex

budget.
In a letter to County Judge
Paul Jones, dated January 6,
Congressman Ullman said that
he has personally contacted the
White House and the director of
the Bureau of Budget to urge
that the funds requested be in
cluded in the budget.
"Although it is impossible at
this point to predict with accur
acy what will be in the budg
et, there is speculation that
funds for new projects will be
severely limited," Ulman wrote.
"The same situation is expected
to prevail in most if not all,
non-defense federal activities.
"I have objected to reduc
tions in the vital areas of river
development and natural re
source management, because
such expenditures are a neces
sary investment in the Nation's
future.
"The time lag between init
iating construction and com
pleting a project is so great
that our long-range economic
interests are greatly damaged
by such reductions.
"I hope we can persuade the
Administration to ask for Wil
low Creek construction money,
but if not, I will be working to
secure appropriations outside the
budget."
The Willow Creek project was
authorized by Congress in 1965
and now awaits appropriation
before first steps toward con
struction can proceed.
