Kinzua Veneer Plant to Open In a phone conversation yes terday with Allen Nistad, offic ial of the Kinzua Corporation, the Gazette-Times learned that the new green veneer plant at Heppner will go into operation this year, perhaps by fall. Mr. Nistad said a new ham mer hog is being Installed at the planer to break up planer trims and blow them to the new shaving bin. The burner at the Heppner mill has been taken out of service by installing a hog to break up the slabs and put them in the mill's fuel sys tem. - . , The boilers will receive major repairs later this month includ ing installation of water cooled grates, dampers, feed drives, etc. Completion of these projects will enable the mill to meet cur rent air pollution standards.

Council flltafeeirs Face-Chy Problems The Heppner City Council had something of a long drawn-out meeting Monday evening. Prob lems concerning building per mits and Council of Government for Morrow County were discuss ed at great length and then the problems were not resolved. -Building Permits A building permit was ap proved to Father Raymond Beard for the construction of a new St. Patrick's Catholic Church on Gale street, the same location as the existing structure. The new building, a one-6tory wood and brick building is to be built at a cost of $128,000. Completion date was set for one year but it is anticipated the time will be much sooner than that. A variance was granted. The building in a residential zoned area will be a foot closer to the front than the 20 feet required. Council voted to deny a build ing permit to Lowell Chally for the construction of a 4 foot wide, 40 foot long and 5" thick cement sidewalk in front of his home at a cost of $200. Council found fault in that the walk had been constructed before the permit to build was applied for and ac Little League Tryouts April 15 and 20 Little League baseball tryouts will be held Thursday, April 15 and April 20 at 6 p.m. at the Fairgrounds. , Three teams will be drawn for.

Council of Government It appeared to be the feeling of the council that questions concerning the proposed one county Council of Governments could best be answered by Judge Paul Jones and so was not ap proved until the Judge could visit with the City Council. Council recognized the value of the cooperative venture to procure a solid waste disposal site for the three towns, the county, the Forest Service. While no vote was taken, it seemed to be the feeling of the group that an agreement on one spe cific need might well be spelled out for the formation of such a Council of Government rather than a blanket formation of such a group. Council noted that they had never applied for or used federal funds for the In stallation or construction of their water system or sewer sys tem. Supposedly such a Council would have to be formed before applying for federal funds. Back to the problem at hand Council members reviewed the members of the committee ap pointed to work out some form of action on the land-fill prob lem. They were the mayors of the towns of Heppner, Lexing ton, lone, County Judge Paul Jones, Marvin Chitty of the For est Service and Dale Boner of ,'the Soil Conservation Service. Pump Bids Opened Bids for the pump to be In stalled in Well No. 5 were op- J ened from Farmore of Pendleton, Morrow County Grain Growers and Jamison of Condon. Specifications had called for bids for pumps to be set at two different depths in the well. Council agreed with Vic "We should get a pump the first go round that would do the Job if the water should drop". So the bigger pump bids were the on ly ones considered. There was little difference In price and two council members spoke out in favor of buying the pump locally and felt the service would be Just as good if bought locally. MCGG bid on a Berkeley pump about which Vic said, "It's a good pump". ' The bids were to be studied and the selection recommenda tion left to the water .commit- tee, Jerry Hollomon, Bob Jones and Rita Hedman,-with Vic Free Parking Approved Council approved a request of the Merchants committee ' to have Free Parking during 9 pro- motlonals a year. - Mayor Bill Collins gave cost figures for the establishment of 7 survey monuments within the city. One former established point is believed now to be oov--ered by Higgins' garage. Vic reported the water line from the new well had been piped across the highway and that the State Highway was bringing in a Freeway broom at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, to sweep up the sand and dirt from Main St. (Continued on Page 10) THE 1971 MORROW COUNTY Rodeo Court resplendent In their very new outfits pause before the Bed Crocs Blood Drawing pos ter.
