HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. February 2, 1967 HI" r : : V v-l ' FtiW t ft I . A f '5 IF YOU CANT FIND YOUR BOOTS, plastic bread sacks make good temporary overshoes, as Dale Holland. Jr. demonstrates here. . Mrs. Holland needed to go downtown when the snow was on the ground, couldn't find son's overshoes, and so improvised the bread sacks over his regular shoes. The whole thing was a lark for Dale, as one can see by the picture, and his feet kept nice and dry. Young Dale's dad is driver education teacher for Morrow county high schools and is Keppner High baseball coach. (G-T Photo). Chamber Hears County Report On Developments (Continued from page 1 the first time the Bureau of Public Roads has come back and added to the contract for such a structure," the judge said, The overpass will still not al low access to highway 80, how ever. The county may be forced to build six miles of road to serve the area south of the highway and connect with ex isting county roads and front age roads. The judge said that the high way officials have told the county that the market con cept of roads has gone with the coming of the freeway. Aver age daily travel to be expect ed in the area would not be nearly enough to justify con struction of the access to the highway, the county has been informed. Willow Creek Project The 551,000 announced last week as having been placed in the president's budget for a Bureau of Reclamation study on the irrigation feature of the Willow Creek project is just about enough to provide for this phase of the pre-construc-tion study, the judge said. While this must yet be ap proved by Congress, the judge said, "We feel sure the $51,000 will be approved." Information to the county court is to the effect that if the Reclamation study shows the irrigation feature is feasible, there is little chance that the Willow proj e c t will "fall through." Congressman Ullman is hopeful that if the budget for the Corps of Engineers pre construction study is not ap proved this year, it will be in next year's Federal budget. Arbuckle Mountain Under agreement with the State Highway Department, the county is keeping the road op en to Arbuckle this winter for the benefit of skiers. County s bill for this service to the state to the first of Feb ruary was approximately $1000. "This doesn't come cheap," the judge said, but pointed out that the cost is much higher to the highway department in other ski areas around the state. Toal cost of keeping the roads open is borne by the state. Road Plans The county oiled 40 miles of roads last year, but probably the oiling program this year must be held to some 25 to 28 miles, the judge said. The county now has some 250 miles of oil roads in the county. Soon all Important links with state highways and county roads will be paved, and barring major disasters, all roads in the coun ty will permit access under year-around conditions. Comparison of taxes from 1948 to the present shows that the road program is costing tax payers lHtle more than it did 12 years ago. Ten years from now almost every farm house in the county wiil be an oiled road in keeping with the poli cy of taking farm houses "out of the dust," he said. Tough Budget Year" The fiscal year 1967-68 will be a "tough budget year," the Committee Seeks Public Response (Continued rrom page 1) ting some help through the county budget for 1967-68. Judge Jones said that if a group pre sented a request to the county budget committee, the request would be considered by the committee, but he added that demands on the budget may be heavy for the coming year. For the purposes of having an organization to work on the project, it was decided that the group would organize as the "Morrow County Historical As sociation" French indicated a willing ness to start at once on research for the bock. Any funds collected from do nations would be protected for the donor to the extent that the funds are unused. French said that while he would have everv intention of completing the project, some eventuality, such as an acci dent, could cut his work short. In such a case, any work that he had done to that point would be turned over to the commit tee to seek completion else where. If it were necessary to abandon the project, unused funds would be returned to the donors, pro rated according to the size of the gift While sale of the books would return some funds, French pointed out that discounts to dealers given by professional publishers run high and prob ably less than 50 would be netted. The committee could choose to distribute and sell the books itself but it would not have the organization to sell nearly as many, he said. Because there would be no great demand for the books from the general public outside the county, sale could not be expected to exceed 1500 to 2000 books, French estimated. He proposed that the histor ical record of the county, em phasizing its early history but going to the present, should form the skeleton of the work. Anecdotes and personal ac counts from those who shared in making the history of the county would form the "meat" or "flesh" of the book, he said. CuWforth said that he had hoped that the history would be composed more of a collec tion of anecdotes. Mrs. Harnett was chosen sec retary of the committee. judge said, With more demands. Needs to be met include addit ional for the hospital and for weed control. The weed prob lem is becoming serious and fund requests may be tripled. Budget in Morrow for weed con trol in 1966 67 is $5500. In Uma tilla county it is $45,000. Civil Defense Morrow county will partici pate in a meeting in Condon to see what can be done if fallout ever comes to this area, the judge said. It is tentatively figured that shelters can be provided at $1.50 per person to house the population for two weeks. In Morrow county this would amount to about $7200.
