The problem of distribution of
state funds to replace property

Ullman Presses For Final Report On Monument Idea
Congressman A! 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,

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.

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."

IMPROVED SYSTEM OF TEACHING
READING AND SPELLING

modern, up-to-date phonetic methods to in
sure that each child learns to read and spell
early and efficiently.
TEACHING RESPECT FOR LAW-AND-ORDER

If our school system and indeed our country
are to survive, we must put greater emphasis
on teaching respect lor Iaw-and-order, the
rights of others, and respect for our Consti
tution and government.

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.
