spoliation support from the
state that the district receives.
As a result of the misunder
standing, it was agreed that it
is necessary to develop total
policy and "spell out" details on
transportation.
Mrs Walter Jacobs criticized
the school administration for
not giving better publicity on
bus runs and fully notifying
parents. She said that a bus
now extends its run to pick up
a special education student near
their place. While this child at
tends lone Instead of Heppner,
the same bus goes to Lexing
ton and makes connection with
a Heppner bus. The Jacobs have
been transporting their children
by auto, not knowing that the
route had been extended. Hav
ing learned this, however, they
now make arrangements for
their children to ride this bus.
Riverside Questions Asked
Don Turner asked the board
questions concerning the River
side High school situation, stat
ing that he felt a "three minute
summary" would be in order to
bring the public up to date on
the matter.
Chairman Irvin Rauch inform
ed him that the board was to
meet with the district office of
the Army Corps in Walla Wal
la Wednesday to determine
what course to pursue. The lim
it date on bids have expired,
so a new call will be necessary
when plans are firmed up. .
Some discussion centered on
the cost of the architect,- who
has already been paid $69,763.
However, another bill was not
approved tor payment .by the
board, pending investigation in
to the matter.
The question arose as to
whether the architect would de
sign another building within
the cost limits of the Corps with
out additional fee, but this is
a question that remains to be
answered. Attorney Bob Abrams
is checking into details of the
contract.
The board reviewed how the
architect had been hired, after
interviewing some 20 possible
ones and checking their work.
It was also pointed out that ar
chitects all charge the same
percentage fee and there is no
opportunity to call for bids on
such services.
Field Trips Approved
Several field trips were dp
proved by the board after plans
were presented to them . from
various schools. One trip, plan
ned by Heppner Elementary
sixth grade to Oregon Museum
of Science and Industry In Port
land In April, was held up for
further consideration. Some of
the directors felt that the dis
tance was too long and that too
little time could be spent in the
educational activity in Portland
(three hours out of the total
day).
Caution was also expressed
that the number of field trips
could become too great.
Contracts of four administra
tors that were due for consid
eration this year were .renewed
unanimously by the board.
They are for Harold Beggs.Ione,
one year; Alan Martin, Hepp
ner Elementary, one year; Dick
Carpenter, Heppner High school,
one year; and Ron Daniels, Riv
erside High, three years.
Mrs. J. W. Fielder, wife of
Jack Fielder, Heppner High
teacher, was hired to be secre
tary in the county office. She
has had 21 years experience In
office work, Supt Potter said.
Harley Young was appointed
to the school budget commit
tee, to replace Jack VanWinkle,
who cannot serve. At a short
meeting of the budget commit
tee during the evening's" mara
thon session, C. E. (Clint) Mc
Quarrie was elected chairman of
the committee and Mrs. War
ren McCoy was elected secre
tary. Date tor the next meeting was
set for Thursday, March 9.

Boardman Story:
From Sand to City

building. Needed badly is a res
ervoir storage tank, and the
city is urging the Corps of En
gineers to proceed with con
struction of a 1CO.0O0 to 150.000
gallon capa uy tank on a steel
tower.
The engineers have recom
mended an 800,000 gallon stor
age reservoir and a second well,
but the Boardman city fathers
feel that the smaller facility to
be constructed at Corps expense
is as far as they can go at this
time.
Without storage, the prospect
of a hot summer is dreadful to
consider. The pump at the pres
ent well would have to run con
stantly to begin to keep up
with the demand, and it still
couldn't do the job without dire
J sacrifice by users. For compar
ison. Heppner, with a popula-
' tu n of 1"(00, used 1,120.00 gal
lons of water per day at the
Doak periods last summer Ev
en with a 100.000 gallon stor
age tank, the population of 400
at Boardman (1967-68 Oregon
B'.ue Book listing) would use
at least twice its capacity each
day.
So, ranked in order on the
priority list of improvements
needed are: 1. elevated water
tower; 2. street widening and
curbs; 3. a second well; 4. side
walks. However, the plan is to in
clude the sidewalks at the same
time the streets are widened
and the curbs installed.
School Poses Question
Big question mark at Board
. man, as it is In the rest of
1 Morrow county, is: What is
. going to be done about River
side High school? With the
i time to vacate old Riverside
High drawing irresistably clos
er and the district apparently
I at an impasse with the U. S.
rtflll.Y Ul cilgmrco uil lilt-
high cost of construction, it has
become a serious problem.
Needless to say, Boardman
residents would like to see the
new school standing finished
on the school district property
on the northeast side of town.
At this time, however, it ap
pears that some temporary ar
rangement will be necessary to
maintain school when the
dam's reservoir fills and comes
lapping towards the school
building.
For many years, Boardman
has been an oasis for travelers
plying the Columbia River
highway. With the new town,
it takes on an even more in
viting role in serving them, and
it is about as well prepared for
that purpose as a town could
be.
Five service stations all
new offer the top brands of
gasoline and oil products. Two
sparkling motels the River
view and the Nugget are open
for business, and it won't be
too long until Joe Tatone's im
pressive Dodge City also beck
ons tourists.
, The Dodge City restaurant
will be a rather fabulous place
with capacity to serve up to
300 persons at once, and its 40-
unit mo'cl will be adjacent to
it. With the Rlvervlew and the
Nugget, Boardman will have
100 rooms available
Gleaming restaurants offer
fine foods The Nomad, owned
by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Baker;
the Char Broiler, operated by
Bob Reid and Les Moen and
built by Emmett McKenzie,
with the Hitchin' Post, operated
by Jake and Ginny Alexanian,
adjoining; and the C and D
Drivein, operated by Mrs. Dew
ey West and Mrs. Carroll Don
ovan.
Grange Hall Completed
Source of considerable com
munity pride is the new Green
field Grange hall which shows
the interest of an active and
enthusiastic membership. The
hall Is located a short distance
behind the city hall and stands
neat and completed, fully paid.
Towards the northwest part of
town is the new community
church in its finishing stages,
and surrounding it are fine
new homes and many homes
that have been moved intact.
Some of the owners are doing
complete jobs of remodeling
their transplanted homes.
Hicks Market serves Board
man as a brand new grocery,
and the brand new Knack
Shack, a variety store owned
by the Tatones, Is adjacent to
a brand new post office.

and planning are behind them,
Boardman residents realize that
much is yet to be done. Mayor
West believes that the city
should point to its "open house"
two years hence. At that time
the moving should be complet
ed, the curbs and sidewalks
should be in, some trees sha i
have been planted, lawns will
be green, and who knows, the
Riverside school may even be
built.
With the developments port
ending great things In the
northern part of Morrow county
and both Irrigon and Boardman
almost inevitably due for con
siderable growth through agri
cultural and industrial prog
ress, it is rather fascinating to
contemplate what the two cit
ies will be like 10 to 20 years
from now.
Easy Place to Stop
For the present, Boardman
beckons the tourist with lofty
signs visible along the highway
for miles. At dusk, the neon
lights and colored display signs
look more appropriate for a
city of 5000 or more than for
a community of 400. It has the
advantage of being an easy
place to stop. A driver need
only turn his wheel a few de
grees and he's up the ramp to
a gas station. It's an equally
easy job to get on the way
again
Eventually, too, a riverfront
park and boat basin, taking ad
vantage of the depth of a grav
el pit located beside the river,
will offer new recreational fa
cilities. This will be built by
the Army Corps. A section In
the downtown district, too, is
set aside as a park.
Much of the work of devel
oping a new city, that now
looks glamorous indeed, was
wearisome spade work. There
is still much of this. At the
present time, the city council is
in the throes of re-codifylng its
ordinances.
' And that," said Mayor West
as dusk started to settle over
