The sneakers told how a for eign student may be sponsored either for a 10-week period or for the full school year. A foe of $30 must be provided by any sponsoring group for the 10 week time, or a $550 scholar ship fee for the full school year period. Interest of the Soroptimlst club in participating in helping to sponsor such a program would be stimulated through its committee on international goodwill and understanding. The Soroptimist organization is Requirements have been Ret up bv the exchange program for both the host school and the host family, with which the stu dent will live. These Include the facts that "the school has to select a suitable host family; work out an Interesting sched ule for the ISK student and guide and counsel him through out his stay. The host family should have at least one of their own children in high school. They must have an excellent reputation in the community, patience and understanding as well as a genuine Interest in foreign cultures. Also, they must be financially able and have sufficient living space to support the I.Sh, student. The only financial obligation for the host family Is to provide food anil shelter." Mrs. Lanham and Mrs. Dick spoke of many of the benefits gained by not only the visiting student, but by the host school through their associations with tho students, by closer cultural ties and understanding of the other countries, by strengthen ing the foreign language pro gram within the school, with tho opportunity for more conver sational language. The host family also experiences a close bond and lasting friendship with the exchangee , ana pro vided an opportunity to "look at things through other eyes," the speakers emphasized. Many of the Heppner High school students are anxious to get ISE program underway here, they said, but considerable or ganization and planning is nec essary first and proper finances need to be made, along with necessary sponsors.

Until that time, the Cardinals had defeated every team they faced, including the Heppner Mustangs. lone, despite its cold night from the floor, battled into a one-point lead with one minute to go, 41-40, but four free throws made on one-and-one situations by the Scotties in the ensuing few seconds iced the game for McEwen. The first quarter proved to be the diference in the game. Mos es of the Scotties fired three successive buckets on jumpers from 20 feet out, his only field goals of the night. But these gave the McEwen five a fast start, and they took a 16-9 lead by the end of the period. Going into the second quarter, they rolled ahead at one time, 22 to 9, their biggest lead of the night. While lone was having a cold first half, the Scotties were hit ting at a near 50 percent clip, bagging 10 of 21. In the same time, lone hit only eight of 40 attempts. McEwen played "ironman ball," the five starters going all the way without substitution.

Present sched ule also starts at $5200 but reaches a maximum of $5500 at the end of the third year. A salary Index for girls' coaches was also established as follows: High school volley ball, .02: basketball, .02; track, 02. Elementary, all activities, .02. If the same instructor coaches both high school and elementary school sports, the elementary Index will be a to tal of .02 and not .03. Maxi mum for any teacher, coaching all sports In grade and high schools, was thus set at .08. Fulleton Bid Accepted The board accepted the Din of Fulleton Chevrolet Co. of $2,511 for a 30 passenger school bus chassis with S100 addition al for delivery.

The company will furnish a Superior body and al low tradem of $765 on the old bus. With delivery of the bus by Fulleton Chevrolet Co., the Schetky body bid was slightly lower than the only other bid er, Phillips Long Ford sales. Committee Appointed Chairman Don McEIligott ap pointed members of a district building committee, which he prefers to call a "long range planning committee." He said additional members will be named when they have agreed to serve. Those announced are as fol lows: Heppner area Dr. Wal lace Wolff, Bob Jones and Or val Matheny, alternate; Board man area Mrs. Dewey West, Vernon Russell; Irrigon area Orval Buchanan, Bill Parker; lone area Louis Carlson, Gar Swanson; Lexington area El den Padberg. Supt. Daniels will act as secretary and Chairman McEIligott will serve in a non voting capacity. Another single member is to be named for each of the Heppner and lone areas. A meeting of this committee is scheduled with the advisory committee on January 3. Chairman McEIligott said that he envisions the commit tee's work as that of "looking over the school system, seeing wnat we have now, determln ing what we want to do and when we want to do it." Riverside Progresses Progress on the Riverside school was reported bv the su perintendent. It is expected that workmen will start roof ing tho structure this week and they are now putting in heat ducts. Most of the electrical work has been completed, and the board authorized $849.50 ad ditional for electrical change oraers. Supt. Daniels said that the well being drilled has tested at not less than 260 gallons per minute at a depth of 99 feet. This Is better than anticipated and It now appears that this will save the district $1300 by being able to stop at the shal lower depth. The question of "What will we do If the building Isn't fin ished by April 1?," date that the old school must be evacu ated, is one yet to be answer ed. The superintendent said that this must be discussed at tho January meeting. Purchase of lockers for the dressing room, 226 chairs. Ven etian blinds, and curtain track to equip the new building were approved by the board. This ex penditure of some $6800 com pletes the use of the $17,000 set aside for equipment for the building in the 1967-68 district budget. Burglary Reported Report was given by Supt. Daniels and Principal Dan Dal- toso on the burglary of River side school last Wednesday nigni. ine prowlers broKe a win dow to gain entry to the build ing, broke into the shop build ing to obtain acetylene torch, and used the torch in cutting Into the school safe.

League Problem Reported I'rincipal Dick Carnentpr nt Heppner High school, and chair man of the Greater Orepnn nth. letic League, reported on prob lems facine the lea cup Tho league, he said, is split in two divisions and most members favored a 5-5 split of the in teams. However, Vale and Nys sa couldn't meet the fi-5 sniff in football and keep their com mitments with nenrhv IHahn schools, so the football season was operated on a 6-4 split, but basketball and baseball la to be 5-5. The football season this year was played with six teams in the west and four in the east, Pilot Rock Joining Enterprise, Vale and Nyssa In the east. At a recent league meeting, plans were made for the next football season, but Carpenter said that he then received three calls from administrators say ing that Vale and Nyssa could not moot their commitments. A special meeting was held In La Grande, and it was pro posed there that a league round robin bo played in football. It passed 7-3. Heppner currently Is playing seven of the nine other teams in the league with Enterprise! HOSPITAL NEWS Patients who received medi cal care at Pioneer Memorial hospital during the past week, and were later dismissed, were the following: Cora Bumsldc, Spray; Kathleen Mather, Ten dleton; Sheryl Massey, Heppner; Marlene Gray, Heppner. and Elolse Smith, Heppner. Still receiving medical care at the hospital Is Maynard Hamil ton of Monument. and Pilot Rock as non-counters. If this round robin system holds, the league winner will repre sent the district In the state without the necessity of a play off, since all teams would com- Cete through the season from oth east and west.
