'The department doesn't ! ceive a nickel of tax money," he added. Minimum dividend to bo re turned to any farmer will be 5". Hale on the coverage l Kill percent. While 5 i the minimum dividend, much high er dividend carl Ih paid with lower loans receiving higher dividends. Under a group coverage plan through Uie Slate Wheat league, the farm employer have the opportunity to receive a substantial discount, Redman said. He gave example to show what cunts would bo In various hypothetical cases. Jepsen said that this would be a big year for negotiations on General Agreement on Trades and Tariffs and that It might also be the last year. The HMi2 agreement reduced tariffs by 50 and this will expire this year. 10 world price Increase on He told of prospects for n wheal, but because of the range between minimum and maxi mum price, this may not yield any more for the rancher. "It looks like It might be set tled for 20c to 30c," he said. "If It Is 25c, the top would be $2.27 and the bottom $1.87 H." It would set b higher mini mum than on the present Inter national wheat agreement which sets n $l.r.24 minimum. Jepsen told of the work of national president, Allen Tom, In Geneva, Switzerland, work ing on agreements, for the first time at government expense. President Kenneth Tur n e r said, "With 8l of the wheat going to export, we're concern ed about what's happening In Geneva." Wellies made a strong plea for more-active participation In wheat league matters. "Last yenr was the fourth straight year that we outdid sales over Canada," he said, "but we hit the skids Inst week." For the first time Japan went to Australia to buy wheat, and this Is a threat that might re place the white wheat market here. "We've got a lob over there holding on to this market," he declared. Saying that he had boon working with the league eight years, Welbes "talked turkey" to the growers. He said that he had prepared booklets for each county officer and chairman on what they should do but that It "did very little good." Busi ness reply cards that he sent out on one mnttcr brought on ly a 15 response. "We've got problems ahead of us, don't think we haven't," he concluded.

Amount of water coming from the old 4-inch main through a fire hydrant at tho high school Is shown in the top photo, and Vic Groshens, city superintendent has the hydrant wide open. The greatly increased flow through the new 6-inch main is shown in the lower photo, demonstrating the greater volume that assure much better fire protection. (G-T Photos). Workmen Finish New Water Main To High School ( It v workmen have completed the insinuation of a new wa ter main system that extends iiluni! the hills on the west side nl the cltv from the reservoir to the high school. Cltv Supt. Vic Groshens said Monday. A total of 25-tt feet of 8 Inch plte. H'.IO feet of 6-Inch pipe and 375 feet of 4 Inch piie were laid in the job. The Improvement will afford much better fire protection for the high school and will nlso provide l-tier water service to residents and other water us ers In the northern part of town. When the high school was first constructed, there was vir tually no water there for fire protection, other thtin that with in the school building from Its own water service. Two hydrants, 3(X) feet apart, were installed at the school about three years ago, but they were served only by 4-Inch mains thnt were extended to them. The new installation gives much greater volume. Groshens said that pressure at the school Is about 47 pounds, as compared with some 72 pounds in much of the city be low. The lower pressure on the hill Is due to the fact that there Is not as much drop from the reservoir to the high school. However, this Is sufficient to shoot a stream through a hose to the top of the school build ing. With the city's pumper trucks, the pressure can be boosted considerably higher In case of fire, and the supply should he ample to handle any kind of fire emergency there. In a fire department test Monday night, the cltvs pump er truck ran 750 gallons per minute at 200 pounds pressure from one of the hydrants. Groshens said the Job was completed In 33 working days. Seven valves were installed at various points on the line, which would permit shutting off a section In case of breakdown without impairing service else where. The new main will also be an aid to any building devel opment that might come in the future along the west hills or to the north part of town. Teacher Quits Without Notice J. W. Fielder, speech teacher and counsellor at Heppner High school, left school last Wednes day and did not appear for classes Thursday. He submitted a letter of resignation to the district school board, and the resignation was accented at a previously scheduled special meeting Thursday night. The letter was read in executive ses sion and its contents were not revealed, but It was understood that the resignation was for personal reasons. His wife, Mrs. Fielder, also quit her position as secretary In the county school office, a position she had held only a short time. In accepting the resignation, the board approved action to notify placement bureaus of the circumstances In which the teacher left his position here. The Fielders came to Heppner last year from Texas. Resignation of Mrs. Bernlce Struckmeler as commerc 1 a 1 teacher at Heppner High for the past six years was also accept ed. Mrs. Struckmeler and her husband, Everett, expect to move to Southern California af ter the end of the school year. They came to Heppner In 1961 from Scio and operated the Heppner Hotel before he be came engaged full time in ranch work. Howard Leonard Glazer, Port land architect, went over plans for tho proposed Riverside High school building with the board and discussed some 40 changes that might be made to cut ex pense of construction.
