Melby Resigns School Position Arnold Melby, band Instruct or and teacher in Heppner schools, submitted his resigna tion to the directors of Morrow County School District R-l at a special meeting in Lexington last Wednesday. The board ac cepted his resignation. Melby has held the positioa since 1958. A delegation was present at the meeting to ask for the dis missal of Tom Hughes, Hepp ner elementary teacher, but the board acted neither favorably or unfavorably on a new contract. Because of Hughes' tenure In the system the board's non-action gives the elementary teach er an automatic one-year re newal of his contract If the board had approved a contract for Hughes, it would have been for a 3-year period by vlrture of his tenure. Melby's resignation is the fifth in the county system this year. Kiddies V. "i . 1 . ... Shu EXTERIOR at the new compressor station of Pad fie Gas Transmission at lone, when computed, will look very similar to this one at Rosalia, Wash- according to Cnet Bond, central area super, intcnd.nt for PGT. , (PGT Photo by Roger C Thompson). Ground Work Starts On lone Pump Plant Pacific Cas Transmission Com pany broke ground near lone Monday, March 20, for its new compressor station. Central Ar ea Superintendent C. W. (Chet) Bond announced. A crew for E. S. Schnell and Ray D. Kalal, Hermiston con tractors, began work on the ac cess road and grading at the station site about one and a half miles southwest of lone. Contracts for the fabrication of station piping and other ma jor work will be announced la ter. Bond said. This phase of the work will likely not begin until May, with Installation of the General Electric gas-fueled, e.OOOhorsepower turbine-compressor package to follow dur ing the summer. lone Compressor Station (Sta tion 9 in PGTs numbering sys tem) is one of six new compres sor units being installed in the company's $13.9 million 1966-67 expansion program. Estimated cost of the lone Station is $2,309,000. The new station will help boost deliveries of Canadian natural gas to California. Pres ent deliveries, now - averaging about 515 million cubic feet per day. will increase to about 615 million cubic feet next winter. Like Jet Engine The turbine at the new sta tion will be similar to a jet air craft engine, Bond said. For fuel, a pipeline turbine uses natural gas taken from the pipeline, a gas-air mixture is burned and hot gases resulting from this combustion flow across the turbine "buckets," or blades, causing the turbine shaft to spin. The shaft drives a compressor wheel, which com presses the pipeline gas by whirling at speeds up to 6,900 revolutions per minute. Completion of the lone Sta tion is scheduled for November 1. It will be started, stopped and adjusted by remote control from Spokane by means of signals Father of Year Nominations Due .nominations tor this years "Father of the Year" must be in by April 1, it is announced by Mrs. Frank Anderson, chair man of this year's CowBelle hather of the ear committee. Applications have been sent out to youth groups and orga nizations for their recommenda tions of persons for this year's nonor, Mrs. Anaerson reports, but any who have not been con tacted are asked to get in touch witn her before the deadline date.

Maintenance at the lone Sta tion will be performed by the PGT crew based at the com Wallula, Wash. This year Pacific Gas Trans pany's existing station near mission also will build a new ,ouu-norsepower station near Bonanza, Klamath county, and a second 8.000-horse power unit at the existing Sandpoint Com pressor Station in Bonner Coun ty, Idaho. In 1966, PGT installed two turbine units at a new Madras Compressor Station In Jefferson county and single unit at a new Rosalia Compressor Station in southern Spokane county, Wash.
