There are now more than MO

In the ltMV5 seiwlon, a total

farmer with a payroll of $1500
or mure cr calendar year mu.it

He pointed out the difference
tinder this plan and that of em
ployer' liability which wme
rancher now carry.
While rate of all Insurance
companies are Identical to Work
men's Compensation, discounts
from the state are the highest
available, he said. The state
plan pay dividend!) as a mu
tual Insurance company, return
ing profits to employers cover
ed. The department expense rate
Is lowest of any Insurance com
pany In the Stale of Oregon
1 1 a til 't I. ItiHlman said. Some
Insurance companies have ex-tH-nse
rates higher than 40 per
cent. '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.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! 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.
