'Sounds of Radio' Heard at Chamber Meeting Monday In a unique and enjoyable program. Ted A. Smith, vice president and manager of Ra dio Station KUMA. Pendleton, assisted by Lee Casey, produc tlo manager, presented "Sounds of Inner Space" at the Nov. 27 luncheon meeting of the Hepp-ner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce. They used electronic sound equipment to retell the story of broadcast radio and Its import ance as a communication med ium, blending humor into the presentation. Sound equipment was so placed In the room that It gave an added dimensional cnect, adding to the realism of the pro cram. Pointing out that no other medium so stimulates the imag Ination as radio, Smith said that the listener has a personal lden tification with sounds. This brings a reaction from the multitudes, he said. One of the famous incidents of radio used to illustrate the point was the presentation bv Orson Welles years ago on an invas ion from outer space. Imagina tion of the public ran rampant and struck terror with thous ands of people. "Radio learned a lesson from this that it never forgot," Smith said. He told how radio served the public during the blackout of the northeast part of the coun try a couple of years ago when that region was paralyzed by a power failure. Many were trap ped in subways, elevators and other places. However, transist or radios brought solace to these people, conveying the message that it was merely a power failure and not an in vasion nor attack that caused the sudden paralysis. Smith said that KUMA's ap- plication for 10,000 watts of power has been withdrawn from the Federal Communications Commission because it appear ed that a Eugene station had the "inside track" for the one permit. The station had spent $21,000 on the application until that time, he said. Many individuals, organiza tions and businesses in this ar ea had supported the applica tion with letters and communi cations telling the benefits that would accrue to this area from the increased power. Survival Course To Start Tuesday A personal and family surviv al course which will be held at the courthouse, Heppner, starl ing Tuesday evening, December 12, will begin at 7 P.m. instead of at 7:30 as previously announ ced, Ted Smith, county Civil De fense coordinator, states.

Harlan McCurdy, manager of Morrow County Grain Growers, Inc., recently told the Heppner-Morrow coun ty Chamber of Commerce in an impromptu report of a meeting of farmer cooperatives that he attended recently in Portland In making the statement, he Quoted Richard T. O'Connell, secretary of the National Coun cil of Farmer Cooperatives, who was one of the principal speak ers at the meeting. If farmers wish to keep tneir place in the economic picture, they have to become more ac tive," McCurdy said. "Jf they don't within a few years they will cease to be a factor on the national scene." McCurdy s remarks followed a report by Gene Winters, Morrow county agent, on the agricultur al income of the county for the past year, which was in excess of $10,000,000. County Judge Paul Jones spoke at the meeting to an nounce the special election on the road serial levy which will be on Friday, December 8. He discussed some of the reasons for the $150,000 annual levy. Orville Cutsforth said that ho and others figured that the levy cost an average farmer the equivalent of about the cost of one tire per year. We figure that the average farmer makes a profit on the levy by reducing the wear and tear and tires and equipment, he said. i The chamber was to view a picture of Bonneville Power Ad ministration, presented through Columbia Basin Electric Co-op, but technical difficulties pre vented it from being shown. At an ensuing board or dir ectors meeting, . a sum of $25 was voted to be turned over to the Morrow County Road Im provement program to help sponsor an advertising cam paign to inform people on the road serial levy election. A sum or up to sioo was ap proved for replacing Christmas decorations and colored lights with Harley Young, manager of Columbia Basin Electric, author ized to expend the money as needed for the purpose. School Committee Urges Directors To Consider Shop Hoppner-Lexlngton school ad visory committee urged direct ors of school district R l at the regular board meeting Tuesday, November 21, to give consider ation to the "real need" for shop facilities at Heppner High school. The report from the advisory committee was given by Dr. Wallace Wolff, who said that the advisory group had met re cently and discussed "every thing from taxes to the length of girls' dresses." The advisory committee also recommended that a district building committee be appoint ed annually for four reasons: 1 To maintain familiarity with present facilities. 2. To continue an awareness of contemporary school construction. 3. To deter mine long range building needs of the county. 4. To set up a time table for solution of these needs. Much of the rest of the busi ness at the board session con cerned transportation. There was considerable discussion on requests for mileage payment in lieu of transportation of stu dents and several individual cases were considered. At the end of the discussion, the following policy on pay ments in lieu of transportation was adopted: "School district payments in lieu of transportation for those students attending schools in Morrow county will not be ap proved unless such payment is in the best interest or the Mor row county school district. "Students attending special education classes in other school districts will be entitled to transportation or payments In lieu of transportation providing the classes are not offered in Morrow county schools. "The rate of pay for students attending school in Morrow county will be based on a flat rate of 10c per mile per family to tne nearest bus route as pay ment in lieu of transportation. The rate of pay for special ed ucation students attending pub lic schools outside of Morrow county will be $1 per day in lieu of transportation." Payment for bus drivers was considered in considering the current salary schedule. Supt. Ron Daniels reported on a sur vey of other school systems he had taken and presented the nnaings. The board found that the bus drivers' schedule at the present time is comparable with those in other areas, and it was left as it is. Salary schedule for the bus supervisor was also considered and a schedule was adopted John Hill Again Denied Permit (Continued from pace 1) A complaint of a resident throwing trash on the Willow Creek bank reached the council. Since this is in violation of the that will reach $6480 on step six. The bus supervisor is cur rentlv on step two, $0040, for 12 months contract. It was decided to call for bids on a 30-passenger school bus. Supt. Daniels reported that there is $7000 in the fund for replace ment of buses, and this is felt to be more than enough to cov er the cost. The bus would be placed in service in September, 1968. city ordinance, the matter was referred to Chief Kolkhorst with Instructions to ask the resident to clean up the trash. A request was mado to Install a guard rail at the foot of the I'll use Street hill for a distance of about 75 feet to prevent cars from sliding off the steep hill when the steep hill Is slippery. Councilman Jerry Sweeney sup ported the request when he said that he observed several cars sliding out of control in the ro cent snow. Supt. Groshens also suggest ed the council look into the matter of removing the stop sign at the bottom of the hill since traffic intersecting from the east and west is stopped. Groshens said that when the hill is real slick It may be im possible to stop at the bottom. The matters were referred to the street committee for investiga tion and recommendation.
