HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. January 18. I9C8 Directors Reject Teacher Proposal (Continued from page 1) Ron DnniHs had reported to the board that the Ordnance run Is over a vi-ry roucn rouu mm una taken a hl'jjh toll on district ve hicles, lie said, however, that County Judue Paul Jones had agreed to meet with the Uma tilla county court In an attempt to reach an agreement to oil the road which extends Into both counties. Purchase of one pickup was also approved. These purchases were recommended by the Iran Ktinrlatiiin rnmmlttee of the tils i rift which met prior to the board session. Cnr Aantal Olcaved Another propositi from the committee was that the board consider rental of a car for the KimcrlnterKlcnt instead of a re Dlacement purchase. Daniels saiil that a car could be rented as an auxiliary driver training car at Slit) per month. The car would be turned In to the aeai er every six months. When one of the regular driver training cars was out of servce for any reason, the siierintendent's car could be used for a replacement. This was also approved by the directors who felt It would be less costly to rent a car than to purchase a replacement. Other recommendations of the transportation committee that were approved were: 1. Combine the Blackhorse Sandho How routes and make a regular bus run there. 2. Make the run to the Bob Van Schoiack place at Rock Creek a part of a regular bus run. 3. Extend the Lena run to pick up the Bob McLaugh lin children. Savings of S700O Seen It was pointed out that these steps would increase salaries of bus drivers on the runs affect ed by something over $1000 per year but would eliminate some SunnO on contract runs. Net sav ing to the district was figured at $7220 per year. Long discussion was held by the board on the minor matter of allowance to school sccretar ies for using their own cars for picking up man ana running other errands for their respect ive schools. The Heppner High school secretary has received $10 per month for this purpose. Meanwhile, a letter was pre sented the board from Arnie Hodman, Dean Naffziger, Terry Lincecum and Dorothy Agee, all teachers, asking for 5c per mile allowance for their travel be tween Heppner Elementary and Heppner High schools, made necessay because they teach in both schools. Mrs. Lanham asked that this be referred to the professional consultation committee for con sideration, and this request was granted. As to the secretaries, the board decided to pay them for use of their personal cars for school purposes on a mileage basis, with the admonition that this use be kept to a minimum. Secretaries' Work Outlined Principals Dick Carpenter and Alan Martin gave a full ac counting of the time spent by the secretary in each school during the summer, detailing their duties and responsibilities. This apparently was in response to a request for information. Last year the board had acted to curtail the secretaries' work in the summer. The matter evi dently will be further consider- of this ed In the preparation year budget. Supt. Daniels reported on a meeting In Ontario Saturday concerned with the reorganiza tion of intermediate education districts. L. E. Dick of Heppner Is a member of the committee on reorganization, and Daniels urged that some of the direct ors attend the meeting with Dick. The superintendent also re ported on the lugs coming loose from the wheels of a school bus, allowing both tires to come off. He said that he has Issued a letter to all bus drivers point ing out procedures to follow In driving and checking busses and said that two days of inservlce training for drivers will be giv en prior to the start of school next fall. No one was hurt In the accident and the driver kept the bus under control. Daniels said that when a tire was changed the lugs were not prop erly tightened, and that the per son responsible has admitted making the error. Daniels also reported that he has learned that National De fense Education Act matching funds for vocational equipment that he had hoped to obtain for the district are exhausted, with community colleges getting the bulk of funds available. Conservation Meet In Irrigon Tonight Clarence Underwood, of the Boardman Soil and Water Conservation District, calls the public's attention to a correc tion in the date of the dis trict's annual meeting. The meeting will be held tonight (Thursday), January 18, instead of Tuesday night, as was announced in last week's paper. The dinner, fur nished bv the district, will be served at 6:30 p.m., at the A. C. Houghton school in Irrigon, followed by the annual meet ing and guest speaker Ted Si dor of Oregon State University. Political Filings Starting Early (Continued from page 1) term does not expire until 1973. Judge Kaye has already announced that he will be a candidate for the office he now holds. On the county level, positions of interest coming up lor elec tion include those of sheriff, clerk, one county commissioner, treasurer, two justices of the peace, and four port commission positions. The term of County Commis sioner Walter Hayes of Board -man expires this year, but he has not announced whether he will be a candidate for reelec tion. This year for the first time, the port commissioners will run as non-partisans. Their names will be on the nonpartisan bal lot instead of the party bal lots. Three positions will be for 4 -year terms and one will be for a 2-year term. Four Terms Expire Commissioners whose terms are expiring include those of Dick Krebs, Dewey West, Os Krebs and West are completing car Peterson and Larry Lindsay, regular terms while Peterson is completing a 2-year term to which he was elected in Novem ber. 1966. These three positions will be for 4-year terms on the ballot this year. Lindsay was aDDointed to the commission to succeed the late Barney Malcom, and so this position also comes up for election this year. It will be for a 2 -year term. Both justice ot the peace po sitions in Morrow county (5th and 6th districts) will be up for election, the one In Heppner now being served by Justice Gribble and the other in Irrigon (15th) now being served by Jus tice Ernest Jorgenson.

J. D. Bauman said Monday. Entry was made by breaking glass in the store's front door. Don Bristow told the sheriff that a considerable quantity of Gro ceries was taken, but it is dif ficult to determine exactly how much Is missing. The sheriff said that Investl nation is continuing but few clues were left to work on. The entry was discovered sometime Sunday. Meanwhile, the Union 7b sia tion at Boardman was entered also Saturday night, according to Ed Kuhn. owner. Tools, tires generators, spark plugs and a box containing some zuuu eorv test tickets being used in a Uiv ion Oil Dromotion were stolen Entry was through a rear door. Susoect in another burglary is now being held in Pendleton, the sheriff said. Dusttn Shirley, 21, who used the name James Rogers in registering at van Winkle's motel here recently, is in custody fn Pendleton facing charges of larceny and issuing bad checks in Umatilla county. Jack VanWinkle has filed a felony information against him following the loss of some $50 from the motel office, Shirley was the only guest at the mo tel recently on the day the mon ey was taken, it is reported. The operators went away from the premises for a time, and when they returned both Shirley and the money were gone. The sheriff said that Shirley worked for a time at Kinzua. He was picked up in Pendleton on a routine check charge and later was held on the other charges. Another charge against him from Wheeler county ap parently has been dropped, the sherill said. Y ZJ JUDY CONNER Life in Ireland Reported in Talk By IFYE Speaker flees will be listed on a separ ate ballot, apart from the Dem ocratic and Republican ballots, in the primaries. However, Mrs. Parrish points out that if there is only one candidate for a non partisan office, he will not be on the ballot in the primary, but rather, will be on the ballot in the general election, scheduled for Tuesday, November 5. Mrs. Parrish was at a meet ing on elections at John Day Monday. Jack Thompson, direct or of elections, was in charge of the session and clerks from many eastern Oregon counties attended. A glimpse of Ireland was giv en to the Heppner-Morrow coun ty Chamber of Commerce at its luncheon meeting Monday by Miss Judv Conner of Lorane. Ore., who has completed a six months visit to that country through the International Farm Youth Exchange program. Speaking to a full house In the Wagon Wheel Cafe's ban quet room, Miss Conner said that English Is spoken in 30 dif ferent accents in Ireland, which she called "a land of contrasts." The west is the poorest area but has the most dense rural population. The reason Is that the English took the fertile lands of the south and east for their estates, she said. Ireland left the British Com monwealth in 1936. As in the United States, cities are growing fast and draining population in the rural areas. There are few natural rcsour ces, but two such are peat and coal. Peat, used for fuel, is har vested just as any other crop. It is cut from natural bogs in bricks and laid out to dry bo fore boine sold. Farmers don t thinK tney are eettine enoueh for their pro duce," Miss Conner said, and no ted the similarity to tarmers in the U. S. on this point. She said, however, that farmers there did somethine about it when they marched to Dublin and made their demands. The dairy indus try got the biggest boost as a result of the march. Sixty percent of Irelands ex- Dorts are agricultural produce, one of the principal ones being butter. A typical farm may be 30 ac res, cut up in two or three acre plots for diversified use, she said. There is an abundance of rainfall, but many farms don't have running water Agricultural research stations are continually working on the Mustangs to Play Burns High Here; Grant Union There By BOB D0BBS This week-end two games are slated for Heppner High. Friday the Mustangs ro against the Burns inlanders in Heppner and on Saturday ihoy travel to John Day to meet the undefeated Grant Union Prospectors again. Neither clash Is a league count er but John Day is a strong fa vorite in the eastern half of the Greater Oregon League, so the game will test the Mustang strength. The Mustangs meet Burns al so for the second time this sea son. In the first tilt, at Burns, Heppner walked away with a 63-54 win which they pulled out of the bag despite a strong second half rally by the Burns squad. Saturday night's game at John Day oils Heppner against a team which is rated fourth in A-2 standings by at least one newspaper. The Prospectors have won twelve straight and are the only undefeated team among the rated squads. John Day squeaked by the Mustangs In the season opener here by a 54-51 margin. I ho scoring went almost even throughout the name, with both squads scoring J points In the second half. The difference seemed to have come in the first quarter when the Horsemen were out-scored 14-11. This three-point spread turned out to I be the Mustangs' "Waterloo.
