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.
