Board of Education of Morrow
County School District R-l voted
at their Monday night meeting
in Lexington to defer action on
the IED Reorganization resolu
tion until the December meet
ing. 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

endar for 1970-71 was adopted.

ings with the teachers will de

quirements through the use of
salary schedule projections and
adoptions. Notice of first budg

Chamber Hears Report
From Rep. 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.

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.

derdeveloped countries are go
ing to maintain a level of eco

erate the income to feed their
people, they will likely focus
on agriculture. 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

a marketing of our technology
through our agriculture rather
than giving away agricultural
products.
