'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power has been withdrawn from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

fense coordinator, states.
Considerable interest has been
shown in the course by the pub
lic, he said, and a good turn
out is expected. The course will
be taught by Mrs. Dorothy Viera
through the State Department of
Education.
It will consist of four three-
hour sessions on consecutive
nights, running through Friday,
December la. The public is In
vited. County employes, fire
men and others who would have
special responsibilities In case
of nuclear attack are especially
urged to attend.
Each session will be split by
a octree break.
To be covered In the instruc
tion are these points: Nature
and effects of nuclear warfare,
especially fallout and protective
measures; importance or pers
onal and family survival plan
ning; what you must do for
yourself; what Red Cross and
other agencies may do for you;
techniques of survival; state and
local disaster plans: national
warning system: national com
munity shelter program; shelter
equipment and supplies; ways
of purifying water; family ra
diation detection and decon

Farmers have only about 10
as much representation in gov
ernment as they had some 10
vears ago. 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.
