Ullman lias on completion of the final plan 3EKHRF urged a final report on the es- ahlishmcnt of a new National Monument In Grant and Wheel er counties in Oregon. Ullman made the request recently in letter to Secretary of the In terior Stewart Udall. A preliminary survey by the irk Service in 1967 reeogniz I the significance of the John Day Fossil Beds State Park and other features in the two coun ty area. A final recommenda tion on the proposal has been withheld pending an agreement by the Oregon State Highway Department which now admin isters state park lands includ- in the study area. Ullman said he has received assurance from state officials that they would cooperate in establishing a National Monument, and that he is prepared to introduce the appropriate legislation ud- of development. The 1967 study included the John Day Fossil Bed State Park, the Fainted Hills State Park. Clarno Fossil Beds, and many other fossil bearing for mations in the area. The re port concluded "the national significance of the Geological and Paleontological resources fo the upper John Day River Basin Is recognized. From pre liminary studies, it appears that the area is suitable as a National Monument." Ullman said that national recognition of the area and the wide publicity that would ac company the establishment of a National Monument would bring major economic benefits to the Central Oegon region. "Local citizens, notably Jack Steiwer of Fossil," strongly sup port the establishment of a National Monument, and I share their enthusiasm," Ullman said, Grade Conferences Scheduled Nov. 7 First parent-teacher confer ence day for grades 1 through 4 will be held at Heppner Ele mentary school on Thursday, November 7, it is announced by Principal Al Martin.

DON'T LET THE LOBBYISTS AND BUREAUCRATS RUN YOUR SCHOOLS Elect Dr. Walter BLAKE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION This increased gas tax bill is unnecessary. It only adds an extra tax, without giving the state any power the state does not already have. It also opens the door to future raids on our regular highway funds by mak ing highway funds fair game for any other special interest groups. VOTE 6tx NO Against Increased Gas Taxes Pd. by Family Hihwy Protection CommittM. Treasurer K. E. Rinkc, 850 22d NW, Salem, Orejon. WALTER BLAKE STANDS FOR MERIT PAY FOR TEACHERS Let's quit overpaying mediocre teachers! Stop giving teachers automatic raises every few years. Teachers should be paid on the same basis as other professionals; they should earn their raises by doing a better Job. Merit pay will attract better teachers, give your children better education. PROTECTION OF YOUR RIGHT TO ELECT YOUR STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Don't lot the bureaucrats take away your right to vote. Keep this office elective. RETAINING YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE ON SCHOOL BUDGET EXPENDITURES All voters not just a few politicians should have a say in how tax dollars are spent. We must stop the "machine" in its attempt to rob you of your right to vote on all tax measures. CLOSER RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHERS AND PARENTS We must do a bettor job of informing parents vnat and how their children are being taught. This will bring parents and their children closer together, and help close the "genera tion gap."

BAUfMN REPUBLICAN NOMINEE For Sheriff OF MORROW COUNTY If I am re-elected, I have no intention of resigning before the end of my term in favor of anyone. Any rumors to the contrary are in error. The law of arrest, search and seizure; The seizing of property under execution and attachment; The serving of court papers Have become highly technical procedures. They require training and experience in their proper administration. Morrow County Sheriff's Department is charged with the collection of more than One Million Dollars in Taxes annually. This requires training and experience. Morrow county has had no rise in the crime wave, no riots and no civil disorders. It is the policy of the present sheriff to pre vent this type of crime, to keep people out of trouble, to work for the people of Mor row county and not against them, to help and advise students and juveniles, and to work with them not against them. Your sheriff is as far away as your near est phone. Call him any time of day or night, if you have a problem or complaint. He is trained and experienced in all phases of sheriff work. Keep A Trained and Experienced Man on the Job Re-elect C. J. D. Bauman As Your Sheriff (Pd. adv. by C. J. D. Bauman, Heppner, Ore.)
