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.

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.

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

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.
