Km GUEST EDITORIAL Panel Backs Recreational Dam BY RALPH RICHARDS Heppner Soil and Water Conservation District When it looked recently as if the Penland Prairie reser voir project needed help and support towards making it a reality, the Technical Action Panel of Morrow county stepped forward to offer assistance. Members on the panel include those from the County Extension office, the U. S. Forest Service, the ASC office, the Neighborhood Center, and the Soil Conservation Service. Meetings of TAP were held with the conservation dis trict, the county court, and the land owner to figure out what was needed to get this project underway. The Forest Service had made an Impact feasibility study, showing the problems Involved. The TAP committee thought these problems could be solved, and with request from the conservation district, obtained engineering assistance from the Soil Conservation Service. Through the imbued enthusiasm of Orville Cutsforth, the owner, he had no trouble getting funds and support for this project. This, then, became a group project for community use. The project has now gotten a start. County equipment opened pits for soil sampling over the dam site area. The Soil Conservation Service has made the engineering survey for the design of the dam, sent in soil samples to the High way Department to determine the construction ability of the material. Drinking water springs are being developed. The engineers are working on construction design. When the water line is determined, land clearing will start and sites for lots can be surveyed and platted. Even this is just a start, but as father used to say, "A start is as good as a half day's work." Through the Interest of one man; money from a few lo cal individuals; cooperation of all county, state and federal agencies; and the interest of the community, Morrow county may have its first public water recreational area.

AGAIN THIS YEAR the merch ants are sponsoring free pro grams for the benefit of specta tors at the games, as well as the full pages for each home game in the paper. Principal Dick Carpenter says these pro grams bring a lot oi nice com ments from visitors. The particularly nice part about them this year is that spectators are not only goin to get them, but they will be able to read them! Light was so poor in the old grandstand at the rodeo grounds that a person could not make them out. Now, the nice new grandstand has an abundance of light, and person can read them clear ly, we're sure. We might hint gain that if you like these programs, take moment to tell the merchants who are paying for them, will you?

The format will be changed this vear to include answers to questions about our schools. Any person may request infor matlon about the schools by writing to the high school, jrrade school, or The Gazette -Times. Names will be withheld on re tiiiesi, However, questions will not be answered if the letters are not signed by the writer. The purpose of this column is to improve communication be tween the schools and the pub lic. I personally believe that communication is a necessary part of the school operation. We, in the schools, need to recog nize what functions the parents expect the school to perform, and the community must under stand more clearly what func tions the schools are now per forming. Our schools exist for the pur pose of educating children. To educate students. Under the present system of local control and to continue with this sys tem, the community and the school must work together to ward this goal. I believe we can work togeth er. To do this, we must be able More Fun, Always 215 Coburg Road Phone: (503) 342-5181 RESTAURANT WITH 24-HOUR COFFEE SHOP 0 like that there".

SOME OF OUR rood readers cot us straightened out on the Free Coffee signs at the rest stoD between Hood River an The Dalles over Labor Day week-end. The State of Oregon didn't make the offer, but the Oregon Trail CB club was the host. Mrs. Jim Sumner of The Dal les kindly wrote to tell us about it. and Mrs. Boh (Sue) Jones also called to sav that she and her husband stopped there. Sue raid that the club served cot fee from a trailer. The storv from Mrs. Sumn adds some interesting detail More than 3000 coffee cups and 3000 cold drink cups were used in serving the public over the week-end. according to an art icle she sent from The Dalles Chronicle. People from every state of the union as well as Laos, bwitzer land, England and Israel stop ped there and signed the guest book. The club offered the service over the three-day week-ends for the first time this year, and they are considering It for hunt lng season. The Dalles merchants contrib ute the coffee, cold drings and cups. The State Highway de partment supplied only the signs, and the Parks Department took care of the trash and elec tricitv. Isn't the Oregon Trail club's idea a great oner we've neara Californians declare that Ore gon is simply the best state for tourists because of its parks and facilities.
