pointed by the Morrow County
school board, and the commit

tion November 15, It was derid
ed at the first meeting Monday.
Originally, it had been plan
ned to make a preliminary re
port probably In February, but
on motion by Kenneth Batty at
the Monday meeting It was de
cided to make the study In
depth and bring In a report as
of November 15. This will rec
ommend to the school board
either for accepting the plan to
start with the 19G8C9 school
year or to reject the proposal.
The committee Instructed
Sunt. Potter to mall question
naires to the 13 high schools In
the state which now have six
six systems.
Next meeting of the commit
tee will be on Monday, Febru
ary 27, at 7:30 p.m. In Heppncr
High school to discuss the re
sults of the questionnaires.
Under the proposal, which
was presented at the regular
school board meeting, the sev
i nth and eighth grades would
be transferred from lleppner
Elementary school to the high
school building. With the ninth
grade they would form a Junior
high school, operating as a sep
arate school in the same build
ing as the senior high school,
which would be composed of
grades 10 through 12. Pupils of
grades one through six would
form the elementary school in
Its present location.

President
Asks Sum
ForPlanning
Telegram from Congressman
Al Ullman said Tuesday that
President Johnson's fede r a 1
budget requests Include $51,000
for the Bureau of Reclamation
in connection with the Willow
Creek project.
Identical telegrams were re
ceived bv County Judge Paul
Jones and The Gazette-Times,
saying, "President did not re
quest funds for Corps of Engi
neers' construction of Willow
Creek project; however, request
was made in budget lor i,uuu
for Bureau of Reclamation to
prepare final Irrigation features,
contracts, etc. Will work to ob
tain approval of appropriation
committee for construe tlon
funds. Signed, Al Ullman."
The announcement was greet
ed with optimism here by pro
ponents of the Willow Creek
project.
Judge Jones said he has the
understanding that if either the
Bureau of Reclamation or the
Corps of Engineers received any
appropriation for the project
that, through a working agree
ment, the one would share with
the other to get the project
started.
If the budgeted item is ap
proved by Congress, this might
get the project ln motion, he
speculated.
The judge said that he plan
ned to call Ullman Wednesday
to seek clarification on the mat
ter. While the president did not
include ln his budget request
funds for Willow Creek construc
tion, Ullman has consistently
stated that he will continue ef
forts to get the appropriation,
a -pledge that he repeated in
his Tuesday telegram.
While the WIlow Creek proj
ect is an Army Corps project,
the Bureau of Reclamation Is
concerned with the irrigation
feature. Thus, an appropriation
of $51,000 for start of work on
this feature would be another
step towards culmination of
the project.
Fire Burns Truck
On Condon Highway
A truck, owned by Jack Glav
ey, was destroyed by fire on

morning. It was being driven by

hay.
The fire broke out suddenly
in the motor, and O'Brien rah
! ,0 'h Fulleton place, some 200
or 300 yards away, to call the
fire department. A general
alarm was sounded, but by the
time the firemen reached the
scene the truck was a total
loss.
Another alarm later in the
day was a false alarm.
