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.

WE GOT a kirk out of the As
Kociatrd Press story about
"Reub" Lone, noted Eastern Ore
conian. You can't beat him as
a witty pnuosopner oi tne ary
kind country.
The story said he described
the summer's dry weather this
way: "I sent off a sample of
water to be analyzed and the
report came back 10 per cent
moisture."
Mavbe he (tot It out of Wil
low Creek.
WELL, SIR, the footballs are fly
ing again, and the local sea
son is upon us. For sheer thrills
and excitement it is hard to
beat high school football. The
pros have the power and the
finesse, the college players have
the skill, too, but give us the
high school kids for the real
thrills. They are at a stage cf
development where one day a
boy is trying bravely to fill out
the pads that hang over the
edge of his shoulders and the

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?

By DICK CARPENTER
Principal,
Heppner High School
In response to parents and
patrons of the Heppner school
aiea, this column will return to
the Gazette-Times each week.
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

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. This coffee Idea
should put the frosting on the
cake lor sheer hospitality.
