"Back to Agriculture" are the
magic words from Boeing on
the near-term plans (or the Boe

ager of the project made a prog
ress report to the Governor on
Tuesday and to the people of
Morrow County on Wednesday
morning at Boardman.

Merryfleld have been retained
to write the development plans
by mid-1971. Boeing Is expected
to open their office in Pendleton
In about two weeks.
The Initial study showed that
agriculture would be feasible,
practical and ultimately profit
able. Mr. Grlgsby said, "the bl
products of the agricultural use
might be more interesting than
the agriculture itself".
Although the project is in its
formative stage, realizing Boe
ing's reputation for building
the best in Aero-space, those
who heurd the report are confl-
87th Year
dent that the project will get
off the ground.
Plans are very elastic and all
Ideas are being considered.
Plans arc to give current sub
lessees an opportunity to par
ticipate in the development.
About 60,000 of the 100,000
acres will come under the de
velopment. The size of the ar
ea was overwhelming to Mr.
Grlgsby as he came in from
driving over It. However, he
said, "look at it In 10,000 acre
tracts at a time".
The test facilities will be re
tained and include a 3-Jet test
stand, 1 rocket engine tent
stand and SST lest facilities will
be added.
Nuclear Kite on the property
was discussed. He Indicated that
the water from a nuclear plant
would help but not be neces
sary. He told the group that
Boeing was prepared to tie in
their plans with a nuclear plant
if one became a reality.
He was re assuring In that he
raid Boeing wonted to work
with the area in such a way as
to be compatible to the total
area. He warned "as you de
velop something as big as thisj
some people won't like It".
The 60,000 acres He to the
back side of the park. He indi
cated development would be
done oxer a period of years as
60,m0 acres of produce thrown
on the market at once could
he economically destructive.
It also came out at the meet
ing that Industry does hnve
top priority even if the land
had already been devclojed ag
riculturally. One of the Boeing
representatives noted that an
aluminum plant had looked ov
er the site but due to the short
age in the labor market hadj
not considered the site as feas
ihle.
To support the ,000 acres of
agriculture Mr. Grigshy said he
thought 5000 people and sup
porting people would come Into
tjie area. In Salem, the ques
tion was asked tr they were
considering building a town
a ad the answer was "no".
The tax situation has not yet
been settled and Boeing, as all
concerned, want the proper tax.
Some consideration may be
going towards grass lands for
posture, for cattle for possible
meat processing plants and oth-
er processing plants. Boeing of
ficials are accustomed to being
ready to go for the count down.
Mr. Grlgsby compared the sea
sons with the count down and
said they were steering for the
1972 planting season.
He explained Boeing's diver
sification: housing by going in
to modular homes, computer
services on a competitive basis
for other firms, building hydra
foil louts. Most of these Boeing
done In the Seattle area.
The meeting ended with an
optimistic note with a feeling
that "something was going to
get off the ground."

with a score of 71-14'.
Saturday night's match with

NOTICE
There Is cm important annual
meeting Monday evening, 7:30
pan. at Morrow County Court
bouse of the Willow Creek Dis
trict Improvement Co.
Dr. John Riches of Douglas
United Nuclear of Hanford, Wn
kicked off a group of meetings
for Morrow County when he ap
peared Monday night at Theli
at an lone Lions meeting.
As Gar Swanson had predict
ed, he spoke' to a full house
who listened . carefully to his
explanation of the vital need
of power, to be produced by nu
clear plants.
Safe Neighbor"
Dr. Riches has worked for 20
years with nuclear reactors and
he spoke on how it affects our
environment and how it is
safe neighbor.
He said there is a great and
growing need for more electric
ity in the Northwest. Though
controversial, dams were built
and our standard of living im
proved.
There are very few hydroelec
trie sites left. By 1976 and '77
additional electric power will be
needed. More things are being
invented that use electricity in
the home.- Electric cars may al
so mean an added demand for
more power.
There is a growth of 4 a
year in requirements for elec
tricity. ' ' '
Dr. Riches displayed graphs
and charts showing the various
comparisons for his subject.
There are many industries in
the Northwest highly dependent
on electric power for their en
ergy.
He explained that we must
now go to thermal power coal,
oil, gas or nuclear power.
He showed a drawing of the
parts of a steam - power plant,
only a third of the heat being
in the boiler being utilized for
power. Price of coal is growing.
A nuclear power plant has a
core of rods ten feet long in
pecial clad covers which heats
water creating steam to run the
generators and using water to
cool ihe condensors. There are
also other methods and by 1980
will be highly refined types of
creating nuclear electric power.
All nuclear power plants so
far have operated safely. The
only accident was one entirely
in a building and no one was
injured.
Slanting to the environment,
he pointed out coal plants are
quite smelly and dirty. Many
coal plants put out more radio
in various parts of the world.
Denver has a rating of 200 mil
larems, New York has 100, La
Paz, Bolivia has 400 and a place
in Brazil 1000.
We have sources of radioac
tivity " from the sun, from our
bodies. A person traveling by
jet gets tt bigger dose of- radia
tion the higher he flies.
However, our bodies will ac
commodate a certain amount of
radiation.
He said several reactors have
been operating for 11 years.
A Department of Health study
showed no measurable differ
ence in the amounts of radio
activity in the vicinity of the
plants.
Manufacturers are working to
reduce the amount of radioac-

This year's cost on salaries
was $763,571.
Next year's cost will be
$779,576. This includes $3,000 In
tent to advance for a number
of teachers.
While this reflects an Increase
of $36,005 or 4.7, because of
staff reductions and staff chan
ges, the budget increase will
only be $16,373 or 2.1.
The Board agreed to pay tu
ition on the hours required of
teachers. Requirement is 9 quar
ter hours every 5 years. Cost
is 9 quarter hours times $17 for
one fifth of the staff,
They will increase the pay
ment on health insurance to
$7.50 per month.
They will place all junior
high coaches on the same
coaching pay schedule.
Board also approved an addit
ional 10 days of cumulative sick
leave.
On the classified employees
Board approved a 5 base sal
ary increase on all schedules
except bus drivers who remain
the same. They increased their
health insurance $1 a month for
a total of $7.50.
Budget Hearing
At the budget meeting Harley
Sager was elected chairman of
the budget committee. Mrs. Bev
erlv Gunderson was elected
secretary.

Steve spoke with good humor
of living among the people in
the Latin American countries.
Coffee is principal product in
Colombia, with some banana
production. 60 of the people
are quite poor with probably
about 15 rich and a small

trip.
He displayed a soccer ball,
soccer being the most popular
field sport there. Most students
can speak some English.
He lived largely in boarding
houses for about $50 a month.
Most of the time he had cold
showers as hot water is rare.
He reported they had two sea
sons wet and dry. Tempera
