Chamber to Seek To Plug Gaps In Business Area Development committee of the Heppner-Morrow county Cham ber of Commerce will advertise in metropolitan newspapers and trade publications to seek busi nesses of the retail level to lo cate here, it was decided at a committee meeting Tuesday noon at the Wagon Wheel Cafe. To be sought are those which would offer goods and service net now provided here so that the community may round out its business section and fill va cant store fronts. . Mayor W. C. Rosewall point ed out that there are a number of retail establishments needed to supply goods which are not currently offered here. The committee will seek to find someone interested in buy ing and reopening the bowling alley, and someone to open a flower shop here, as well as in vesting in other types of busi nesses not now covered. Advertising will be placed in The Oregonian initially to see what response may be forthcom ing. Mayor Rosewall and Gene Pierce of the committee have been making contacts and checking leads in attracting new firms but have had no success as yet. , The committee also discussed possibility of drawing small lo calized industries here. For in stance, Glen Ward proposed a small operation that might make rustic log siding for cab ins. Some discussion centered on the possibility of obtaining an industrial site near the railroad in Heppner that could be pre pared for and offered to indus tries as an inducement to lo cate here. , Development of recreational areas and the Willow Creek pro ject also were considered. Gene Winters called attention to the higher discount rates as being nncoihln fnptnr in altering the benefit-cost ratio of the dam project. Trie committee win check into this through the Ar my Corps of Engineers and the congressional degelation. Attending the meeting were Mayor Rosewall, Pierce, County Judge Paul Jones, Commissioner Jack VanWinkle, Wes Sherman, Dr. Wallace Wolff, Harry O' Donnell, Winters and Ward.
