Winters Outlines ; County Planning ; Program to C of C j Gene Winters, county exten sion agent, outlined objectives for the long range planning pro gram, just now starting in Mor row county, at the regular meet ing of the Heppner-Morrow county Chamber of Commerce Monday. At the same time, he report ed on a meeting of the fores try committee, one of the sev eral committees which will work in the planning program. The first meeting of the committee was last Tuesday evening. Primary objective of the plan ning program, Winters said, is to "take stock of our county and lay plans for progress in the next 10 years." Rapid changes in technology mav mean that new objectives need to be established in coun ty planning, he pointed out. Goals will be established for the coming decade. The program will seek to plan a development pattern for the county. "Changes in our society re quire a 'new look' at our old institutons," he said. The planning program is similar to one that was con ducted here in 1957-58, after which a booklet was published. It is nlanned to publish a book let at the conclusion of this study too. The forest committee was first to organize, and a second committee is that of county parks and recreation. Other committees will be organized as the program unfolds, the county agent said. In its first session, the fores try committee recognized the fact that the two sawmills in Heppner sold 52 million in lumber products in 1966, show ing their importance to the lo cal economy.
