Six-Six Schools
To Be Studied
By Committees
(Continued from page 1)
Ewee of the Walla Wall dis
trict of the Corps Monday, and
he agreed to working out tem
porary housing for the school
if a new building Is not ready
bv time that the old Riverside
High school must be abandon
ed. The difficulty arose when the
Corps rejected all bids on the
school as being higher than al
lowable estimates.
In commenting on the mat
ter, Supt Potter said that the
design is expensive because It
incorporates features for Junior
and senior high schools and
provides for "more and more
ideas" to meet problems of edu
cation for years to come. He
said that he feels that the Corps
is comparing cost of this total
project to others, such as Wah
tonka High school, which were
bidded as "incomplete'' projects
without athletic fields, without
paving and with provision for
other rooms to be added later.
Rauch said that while the de
sign includes some features that
might now be considered un
necessary, twenty years from
now "well be glad that we
have them."
McQuaw. a member of the
Boardman advisory board. In
jected the criticism of Supt Pot
ter being forced to devote so
much time to the Riverside
High project without devoting
more time to the educational
needs of the rest of the coun
ty. He was advised that Princi
pal Ron Daniels is devoting ap
proximately one-fourth time at
the county level to help alle
viate the situation.
Jepsea Mokes Plea
Bob Jepsen appeared before
the board in the hope of clear
ing what he feels is a misun
derstanding on his payments for
transportation of his children.
Before the start of the school
year, he had asked a change of
route &r.i said that he would
pay the district for the addit
ional distance involved. Misun
derstanding arose over what
constitutes the additional dis
tance, Jepsen interpreting it as
2.9 miles and some members
of the board as 5.9 miles.
At its last meeting the board
took the position that Jepsen
should pay for the 5.9 miles.
He presented notes that he
had taken at the original meet
ing to support his contention.
When the matter came to a
vote again, two directors Dr.
Tibbies and Batty voted to sup
port Jepsen; two voted to stand
on the board's previous decis
ion McElligott and Sumner;
and two abstained Skoubo and
Jones.
Chairman Rauch cast the tie
breaking vote, holding to the
board's decision on the longer
mileage.
"I don't feel the board has
treated Mr. Jepsen fairly, but I
feel I must stand by the board's
action," he said.
Well Decision Postponed
Decision on whether to con
tinue with drilling of a well for
Riverside High school was post
poned until the next board
meeting in view of the uncer
tain status on the school. The
well will supply water for the
heat pump system at the school.
Delay on the drilling may cast
the district some $320 in ad
ditional setup charges by the
contractor, but the board faced
the dilemma of whether it
should proceed with the cost of
the well when it is not known
whether the Army Corps will
provide the school building.
Jones was the lone director to
take a dissenting view, voting
no on a motion to delay action
until the next hoard mpptintr
Budget Members Named
C. E. McQuarrie of Heppner
and Eldon Padberg were nomi
nated for the budget committee
to fill vacancies and they were
elected by the board.
The board met in executive
session for a few minutes to
consider "three minor personnel
problems." Back in general ses
sion, Supt. Potter reported that
it was felt that no action was
necessary on the matters since
it is expected that they can be
handled through regular school
channels. No action was taken.
The superintendent announc
ed that the National School
Board association meeting will
be in Portland this year on
April 22-25 and Oregon school j
board members will be asked
to attend and to assist with the
program.
Field trips for biology classes
of Kirk Horn of Heppner to the
University of Oregon Medical
school on Wednesday, February
25, and for speech students of
Jack Fielder of Heppner to Mc
Laughlin High school Milton
Freewater, on February 4 were
approved.
At the request of Supt. Pot
ter. Horn told of a project In
which his classes are now en
gaged to count birds of various
species in Morrow countv, which
he described as "virgin terri
tory" so far as research in biol
ogy is concerned. Horn said that
the project will require about
a year to get organized but that
Heppner High school's work
probably will be recognized by
national wildlife magazines.
Contracts Delayed
Consideration of administrat
ive contracts, a matter that was
included rtn tho a con Ha n-o
postponed until the next meet
ing because lone and Boardman
Irrigon advis o r y committees
have not yet submitted recom
mendations for the next year.
Contract of Tom Caldwell,
sixth grade teacher in Heppner
elementary', was approved. He
was chosen recently to replace
Wayne French who resigned
some time ago.
Bell Project Eyed
Request of the lone Garden
club to take the school bell in
Lexington and set it up in the
school vard nHth
I mounting and plaque to com
memorate me scnooi was dis
cussed. Chairman Rauch, by mo
tion of the board, was asked
to investigate and to work with
the club on the matter.
Heppner Branch
Of First National
Gains in Deposits
Heppner branch of the First
National Bank registered year
end deposits of $6,520,278, John
Venard, manager, said this
week. This compares with $6,
099,112 at the same time a year
ago.
Loans outstanding at the end
of 1966 were $5,609,509 as com
pared with $5,095,026 as of De
cember 31, 1965.
The banking system experi
enced a good year throughout,
according to Ralph J. Voss, pres
ident of the statewide bank. De
posits and loans reached receord
highs despite the tight money
conditions prevailing throughout
the nation in 1966.
Deposit growth slackened in
comparison with recent years,
which Voss said reflected res
trictive policies of the Federal
Reserve Board. Loans tended to
level off following the mid-year,
permitting a continuation of a
aaLisiduiory loan-aeposit ration,
which stood at 62.7 per cent at
the year end.
Statement of condition at De
cember 31 revealed total state
wide deposits of $1,330,922,614, an
increase of $61,880,425 over the
1965 figure of $1,269,042,189.
Loans outstanding at the banks
111 offices throughout Oregon
jumped from $786,208,199 last
year to a new year-end high of
$834,201,285.
Interest paid on savings and
other time deposits increased
to $28,825,766, 22 per cent more
than in 1965. Total resources
climbed to $1,496,614,275 from
the previous record of $1,412,
646,359 in 1965. Capital funds
plus the reserve for possible
loan losses aggregated $110,
612,469, as compared with $105,
194,616 a year ago.

Commercial banks In Oregon
are lending much money s
ever to farmer but the long
term mortgage funds from oth
er sources such as Insurnnee
companies and federal lending
agencies, seem to have largely
dried up.
The tight money situation and
It. effect on Oregon agriculture
was reviewed during the 16th
annual Agricultural Clinic held
bv the Oregon Banker Associ
ation at Oregon State I'nlver
sity. A panel of bankers, Including
J K. Bllnkhorn. Oregon City; R.
I). MeOurdv. Portland, and B.
A Mcl'hllllps. McMlnnvllle.
agreed that thev were not turn
lug away their farmer customers
who needed funds.
Several of the more than t
bankers present for the clinic
agreed that. If anything, farm
ers seem to be turning more
to the bank for funds as other
sources of credit became tight
er. The two most significant ecu
nomle events since the World
War II. according to Emery
Castle, head of the Department
of Agricultural Economics at
OSU. have teen the formation
of the European Common Mar
ket ami the decision by Presi
dent John K. Kennedy to ask
Congress for a tax cut to stim
ulate business activity.
The first represented the start
of the present economic growth
and prosperity In Western Eur
ope, he said. The second repre
sented the first time that the
power of the government was
deliberately used to influence
the total business activity of the
nation.
In commenting on the pre
out tight money situation, Cas
tle said that if "the goverment
continues to rely on monetary
policy to control Inflation there
will probably be no increase In
the money supply. However, If
fiscal policy is used to help
control the Inflationary trend
through a tax Increase.' It may
be possible to relax the pres--nt
fiscal policy and to loosei
up money supplies In this coun
try, he suggested.
