Mutual Party Held
For Irrigon Couples
By FRANCES ROSE WILSON
IRRIGON A double surprise
party for Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd
Burger and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Jorgensen was the occasion for
the meeting held at the Irrigon
Lions Club building Saturday,
Juno 12. The Borgcrs were hon
ored on their 40th wedding an
nlversary and the Jorgenscns
on their 33rd.
Hostesses planning the affair
were Mrs. Ernest Jorgensen,
Mrs. Maxwell Jones and Mrs.
Lee LeBlanc. Mrs. Jorgensen,
earnestly engaged In planning
for the Bergers, was unaware
that the others were planning
a surprise for them as well.
Both couples have been active
ly engaged In community af
fairs and in Lions Club and
Auxiliary activities.
City Council Meeting
Transfer of funds and gener
al year-end business occupied
the Irrigon City Council most
of the evening at Its June meet
ing. A report on the street oiling
contract, which was just com
pleted by Percy Jellum of Pen
dleton, revealed that total foot
ages surfaced were 11,425, and
exceeded original estimates
which had not considered the
radius at the street intersections.
Most of the oiling cost is cov
ered, by monies from State street
fund allocations designated for
that purpose, although $1800
had been included toward the
cost from the General Fund in
the next fiscal year beginning
July 1. By using the balance of
the contingency, amounting to
$1191, left in the General Fund
and borrowing the balance ow
ing from the City Hall Building
Reserve Fund, the total project
cost of $9140 can be met. These
latter borrowed funds must be
repaid from funds received from
State,, Street monies.

Sprinkler Irrigation
Show Set for Eugene
Labor saving equipment will
be the ' star attraction at the
Sprinkler Irrigation "71 show at
Eugene. June 23-27.
Displays and demonstrations
of the newest sprinkler irriga
tion equipment will be a fea
tured part of Grasslands '71
scheduled for Eugene's Mahlon
Sweet Airport. The sprinkler
show is sponsored by the Na
tional4' Sprinkler Irrigation asso
ciation, reports Marvin Shearer,
Oregon State University exten
sion. Irrigation specialist.
For the commercial farmer,
this .. means mechanical move
systems and sophisticated "sol
id 'set" installations. For the
homeowner, it means perman
ent '"systems operated by time
clocks or innovations developed
to reduce the "hose moving"
chore.
Numerous side roll systems,
proven adaptable to a wide
range of field and soil condit
ions over the last 20 years, will
be shown, but irrigaton systems
applying water while they move
will stir "the imagination of the
farmers, during the show, Shear
er believes.
Among these systems will be
"travelers" or individual sprink
lers with large nozzles discharg
ing 300 to 600 gallons per min
ute as they are pulled through
fields; center pivot systems ro
tating around a fixed point
while putting up to 1,300 gal
Ions per minute on 130 acres of
land, and a self-propelled lat
eral which moves In a straight
line while it irrigates square or
rectangular fields.
Although the big equipment
may catch the eye, there will
be plenty in the show for the
homeowner, Shearer emphasiz
es, including the opportunity to
discuss individual home lawn
equipment problems with man
ufacturers and their representa
tives. Persons planning on install
ing lawn irrigation systems are
invited to bring lot sketches
with them and get expert opin
ions on material and designs,
Shearer adds.

the fresh oil without cause, were
sharply criticized during the
discussion of street problems. It
was also noted that some, dam
age had resulted from careless
maneuvering of vehicles on the
streets. It was pointed out that
citations could be issued for
damage regardless of the cause.
Marshal Perry Pummel was
appointed as water superintend
ent effective July 1. Because of
his close association with the
system during construction,
Mayor Wilson had requested
that he serve in that capacity
for a time after it was put in
to service to assure satisfactory
operation and that post con
struction obligations were met
by the contractor. The City does
not have a full time employee.
The Council ratified an agree
ment between Morrow County
and its cities. This intergovern
mental association will operate
in place of the previously form
ed Council of Governments.
The Council also approved a
request by Marshal Pummel for
an additional man to help him
police the area during the Lions
Club sponsored July 4 rclebra
