Sup't. Ron Daniels present ed a concise information sheet on IED reorganization: reorgan ization calendar, present cost of services used, present budget and levy for Umatilla IED, pres ent services provided by the Umatilla IED, future service pos sfbilities under reorganized IED, methods of providing IED serv ices, services available to Mor row County on a contract basis. At the present time contract services with the Umatilla Coun ty IED cost the county $13,000. This includes speech therapy $5000 to $6000. By contract on exact cost basis; Instructional Media & TV $8000 based on per student cost according to expen ditures; cooperative purchasing. Present and future service pos sibilities are many and varied. Board members questioned if these services would be avail- cept for the business education vacancy at Riverside High School. Bus Sold When the district bought the new 66-passenger bus, no trade in bids were received on the two busses considered extra. The No. 1 bus hate since been sold to a church group for $600 and the other one is being used on an Irrigon run. It had been an ticipated that a panel would suffice on this run but there are 15 riding the bus. A cost analysis sheet on each bus is being kept. Records be gin from 1966. In an effort to bring Educa tional TV from the Umatilla County IED, Mr. Daniels is meet ing with representatives from the IED and the Heppner TV on Dec 2 at 2:15 p.m. He has met with Bob Smith, architect from Ontario who has taken floor plans for each school. Plans are for him to make smaller copies to be avail able when touring the build ings. Additions immediate and able by contract if Morrow Coun-1 ne rarge shown la tv votPd withdrawal. Mr. Dan- lc " l"c -' iels noted that he had asked Ken Stanhope this same ques tion and had been answered in the affirmative. Mr. Daniels said that Morrow County anytime in the future could join the proposed IED. If the board doesn't vote with drawal, it would be three years before withdrawal would be pos sible. If it doesn't vote with drawal, Morrow County auto matically becomes part of the reorganized IED which includes 2-counties. "Contracting is considerably cheaper," Mr. Daniels said, "as compared with 14 to 15 of the cost of the program with only 110 of the students.". ( Teacher Visitation The board split on the vote to allow professional visitations which carried. Mr. Daniels said ' there were times when he felt classroom teachers benefit from . a visit to another school or pro gram. Specific guidelines were set up to provide well planned . visitations of one day's time. The teacher and principal will work together to make arrange ments with the school to be vis ited. A report on the visit is to be submitted to the superintend ent following the visit. Board " members voiced concern for the cost of substitutes while the teachers were gone. Sup't. Dan iels said that in the high schools, teachers would fill in while sub stitutes would be required in the elementary grades. Because the position of elementary counsel or in Heppner school was not filled, there is money, available in the 210 series. The district would provide transportation costs. It was estimated that maybe 50 of the 85 teachers in the county might take advant age oi me visitation. Superintendent's Report Three temporary vacancies will exist in the county soon due to a major surgery and a pregnancy. Substitutes have been hired for the vacancies ex- Calendar Adopted The District R-l budget cal endar for 1970-71 was adopted.

Irvin Mann Papineaus Bring Home Winnings Finishing up" a line racing season,, Mn and Mrs. Earl Pap ineau Have returned to their Lexington home for the winter months. They had a very successful year at the track. Burn's Boquet, their 6 year old mare, finished with 5 firsts, 6 seconds and a third place! She made her owners very proud when she won the Prine ville Sweepstakes at Prineville, Ore. She also won races at Port land Meadows, Mul tnoraah County Fair at Gresham and at Playfair at Spokane. A five-year-old Washington bred gelding, Atian Way had missed narrowly several times but had failed to reecrd a vic tory throughout the rapidly waning 1969 Playfair meeting. On October 29, making his sec ond start for the Earl Papineaus, who claimed him for $1250 on October 18, Atian Way raced wire-to-wire to win the featured Sports Writers and Broadcasters Purse by one length. Veteran jockey Gene Salas was aboard as Atian Way skipped one mile and 70 yards in 1:45 2-5 over Playfair's first muddy track in a month, Doc-Ette, always close, made repeated, unsuccess f u 1 bids but finished second, a half length ahead of Wise Pride who closed steadily along the rail. Atian Way was saddled by Charlene Papineau before scor ing his first victory since last spring at Yakima Meadows. The runner has been consis tent all year, marking up four victories, five 2nds and a trio of 3rds in 14 starts. Tho he has been a short price in every pre vious Spokane start, he was returned $22, 9-1 Oct. 29 and $8.90 and $7.40. Charlene and Earl plan to re turn to the race next spring with their two runners, starting again at Portland Meadows. mm t- mi mi ma T i I ""FT"""" fi.""" - " ' iiim V . l tin 2 ?

President Jerry Sweeney at Monday's Chamber of Commerce luncheon Introduced Rep. Irvin Mann, who told of his experien ces on the legislative fiscal com mittee. This deals, he said, with more problems than any other interim committee. His sub-com mittee is wrestling with all kinds ..of, things including the knotty property tax problem. They are examining the dormi tory situation at the state uni versities and are considering turning the dormitories over to private ownership. The commit tee is taking an inventory of all state-owned land and trying to figure how to dispose of it to private ownership so it will get on the tax rolls. Rep. Mann is alarmed at the suggestion being studied by a sub-committee that district at torneys be consolidated, serving several counties instead of one, He says he is alarmed that this might be along the lines of ju dicial districts and that Morrow County needs its own district at torney. The same applies to Sherman County. He feels some consolidations may come out of the study and this area should try to form a plan that can be lived with. He anticipates on next years ballot such things as the 19 year olds being allowed to vote, pollution control funds, state school bond financing, using the State's credit to lower in terest rates, The general election ballot will contain a measure on a new constitution. He feels this is a consolidation and clarification. After Oregon's experience last fall a committee is analyzing the Corrupt Practices Act and will make recommendations to the legislature. He feels a num ber of answers are needed to many questions, including elec tion day campaigning and buy ing elections with heavy adver tising expenditures on election day. He says criminal law and liquor laws need rewriting. Rep. Mann concluded by say ing that we are feeling the full impact of the silent majority. In a question and answer per iod, Orville Cutsforth asked about tax deferral of land leas ed by the Department of Veter ans Affairs to the Boeing Co. He added that this would have a very bad effect on the rest of the taxpayers in Morrow Coun ty. County Assessor Joyce Ritch read a state legal opinion which stated that "any owner could apply for the tax deferral". Rep. Mann said he didn't think the Department would be eligible. If the tax deferral for the tract Ls approved, $31,398.87 would be deferred. This would be a Ioks this year as approval would mean that since the tax has been paid, it would have to be a rebate. I There is to be a hearing ear ly in 1970 on this problem.

They will likely do this by a process of labor intensive capital formation car ried out through the develop ment of their land," He added that expansion of agriculture throughout the world ls very great. Estimates of this would show over four billion ac res of potentially arable land on the earth. 24 of the total ice free area. This is more than three times the area actually harvested in any given year. Mr. Cone told of future mar ketlng and processing tech niques which he feels will mean a marketing of our technology through our agriculture rather than giving away agricultural products. Election Re-elected to serve on the board of directors of the Co-op were Randall Peterson, Paul Tews, Kenneth Smouse and Dick Wilkinson. Wranglers Plan Dinner and Election A potluck dinner for Wrang ler members and families will be held Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 6:30 p.m. at the fair pavilion.

Committees were appointed to arrange for the serving of the dinner and to plan entertainment. There will not be a gift exchange. The nominating committee will report nominations for of ficers for the coming year and election of officers will be the business of the meeting. All Wrangler members are urged to attend and take part In the ac tivities of the club. Attendance at the meetings has been low and the officers felt this would be a way to en courage people to participate. The club has a large member ship but with only a few at tending the meetings, an decis ions are made and business of the club ls done by those few members.
