Child Falls from
2nd Story Window
The Wallace Gaarslad family
are counting their blessings this
week. Last Friday, Wally Caara
land, 18 months old and the
youngest of five little boy
Gaarslands, fell from the second
story window of their home at
lone. He landed on his fat little
tummy and when his mother got
to him he was trying to get his
breath back. He was rushed to
Pioneer Memorial Hospital where
. he spent the night for observe
tlon. He has a bruise on his
stomach and seems not to have
suffered any other injuries.
Johnny and Wally were up
stairs in one of the bedrooms
playing. Wally climbed upon
bedside table between the twin
beds. He apparently pushed
against the screen and down he
went about 15 feet to the ground,
Johnny went down and told
his mother that "Wally broke
the screen". She went up to in
vestlgate and couldn't find
Wally. Johnny said, "There he
Is" and pointed to the ground
outside the window.
This was a traumatic Inter'
val from the time she discover
ed him on the ground until she
could get him into the hospital
lor x-rays. . . . . .

Lake Penland Dam Going Up
Work on the Lake Panland
dam project resumed last week at
the site of the new lake some
25 miles south of Heppner.
Main project is to complete
the earth -filled dam which is
expected to be finished about
Aug. 15. Baldwin Bros. Con
struction Co. of The Dalles are
the contractors for the project.
Height of the dam is 28 feet
and the length of the dam is
395 feet. The new lake will im
pound 67 surface acres of wa
ter and the maximum depth is
to be about 20 feet.
Logs and stumps are still
being removed from what will
be the lake bottom. Depending
on snow pack, lake will take
from one to two years to fill.
Cost of building the dam is be
ing borne by a corporation of
individuals who own building
lots on the lake front. The U.S.
Forest Service is putting in a
campground, rest room facilities
and a boat ramp.
The Oregon Game Commission
will stock the lake with trout.
Morrow County will build some
new access road to replace a
road that will be flooded when
the dam is filled.

Praise and Protest Noted for Boys' State Program
Three of this year's Boys'
Staters agree that one of the
most valuable experiences of at
tending Boys' State is meeting
the other boys from all over the
" state, learning their points of
view and outlook on life. They
agree that "they are really gTeat
kids and are real sharp.
Steve Rhea
Steve Rhea, one of the five
boys from Morrow, was enthus
iastic about not only the boys
he met but what he learned in
juet how a bill is introduced In
the legislature and the differ
ent routes it may go before com
ing up for a vote. The person
introducing the bill explains all
the benefits of the bill so he
must be not only a fluent speak
er but also very knowledgeable.
From his county of Boyd and
town of Friesen came the Gov
ernor who had been mayor o!
their town. Secretary of State, At
torney General and Supreme
Court Justice. He says they'll
make good politicians. The new
Boys' State Governor is black.
Steve didn't run for any of
fice. Early morning, the boys
had a choice of playing In band,
singing in the choir or doing
calisthenics. Steve chose to sing
bass in the Boys' State Choir.
He had a real thrill participat
ing in the Memorial Convoca
tion, dedicated to veterans of
all wars. The hall was all in
darkness with the American
flag spotlighted. Excerpts from
famous speeches as Patricck
Henry's address, the Gettysburg
Address were read followed by
patriotic and familiar songs by
the choir, America The Beauti
ful, Yankee Doodle, Star Spang
led Banner and Glory Hallelu
jah. The food was good and the
weather was beautifuL It only
rained twice and that was at
night. He mentioned the athlet
ic program as worthwhile, too.
He was right at home on 3rd
base and their town team won
consolation. He especially enjoy
ed meeting a boy from Knappa
that he had played against at
a tournament and is looking
forward to seeing him again this
winter. The Oregon State coach
Ralph Miller and the Athletic
Director Jim Barratt both spoke.!
He liked Jim's "Mighty Casey j
up to Bat" given from memory inances passed at the city coun
which he said "was fantastic".
He remarked about the con
duct. The boys raised heck but
there was no fighting among
themselves. No one gave any
one a lot of guff."
Rick Barnett and
Herb Ekstrom III
Rick Barnett and Herb Eks
trom ni were Boys' State dele
gates from the lone American
Legion post
They felt the program was
worthwhile but that there could
have been more adult guidance
during the city and county elec
tions. They were pretty much in
the dark about what was going
on the first 2 days until the
election of state officials and
they started to function. They
felt "too much was left up to
the kids." They were from the
county of Lemma and Rick was
in the city of Draper and Herb
in Johnson. They belonged to
opposite political parties.
They had praise for the fif
teen boys who ran for the of
fice of governor and their cam
paign speeches.
They thought some of the ord-,
cil meetings were silly and
shouldn't have had their time
wasted in passing them.
Their highlights came from
the Rap Sessions. These were
small group sessions that went
late into the night with an ex
change of ideas and attitudes.
Topics were on the draft, 18 year
old vote, pollution and environ
ment, religion and minorities.
In one of the discussions, it
was suggested that sky scrapers
should be limited to three stor
ies. The two boys said Tom
Cutsforth stirred the thinking
when he reminded them that
for each 30-story building in
Portland they would have to
have 10 buildings covering that
much more land.
The 4-H Summer School in
session on the Oregon State
campus the same week is some
thing of a distraction. They said
the boys would leave sessions
to go "watch the girls". For this
reason, they thought the sug
gestion of having Boys State
and Girls' State combined in Sa
lem might be a good idea.

Engineers Make
Cost Study Here
Gilbert Groff with the engin
eering firm that designed the
HoDDner sewer plant, was In
town Tuesday. He conferred with
Jim Perry, Dean Hilliard and
Tom Tate of the Corps of En
gineers, John Howarth of Col
umbia Basin Electric, Tom
Springer of the TV, Mayor Col
lins, Vic Groshen, city superin
tendent and a representative of
the telephone company.
The Corps of Engineers out
lined its plans for the channel
work to be done on Shobe
Creek. From this information,
the telephone company and the
power company will know where
to set their poles, the city the
sewer and water line changes
and the TV cable changes. -
The timing and scheduling of
the changes were discussed. "
Mr. Groff said, -"It doesn't
look too bad. If looks good." The
changes in the channel will
carry a 3000 cu. ft. flow per sec
ond. The improvements at the
h.ad of Shobe will take care
of anything above that," '
The Swimming- fe-''-'--u
About the swimming pool, Mr.
Groff says that after the pool
is sandblasted to clean it up
good, the pool may need only
.repainting and then it may need
remarbellzlng.
The pump and circulation sys
tem look good.
The Bridges
There are several alternatives
to the bridges, wooden, pre-cast
concrete and steel beams with
wood decking. The benefits of
each kind and the cost will be
considered in the final decision.
The costs of the three proj
ects: channel work, swimming
pool and bridges will be pre
sented to the City Council for
discussion. The type of levy will
be decided and then presented
to the people for a vote.
Mayor Collins announced that
engineer Gil Groff was arriving
Tuesday to prepare engineering
specs so that costs of moving
sewer and water lines, swim
ming pool repairs and new
bridge construction costs can be
estimated in a "package". May
or Collins wants the local citi
zens to know all details of en
gineering estimates of needed
projects here.

BAZAARS COME FROM THE ORIENT so this year the Heppner
merchants will areas la an oriental tbeme for the annual sui
walk Basaar to be held from 9 ajn. until 9 pjn. on Friday,
July 23. Sharon German, merchants' committee chairman, sets
the paee with a flower in her hair and the latest fashion from
Swahili. ,
Friendship and Patriotism
combined to make Girls' State
an indelible experience for Bar
bara Allstott and Dianna Mills,
Heppner High School Seniors.
Super - Organization followed
the girls' arrival at Willamette '
University in Salem. And Super
Organization meant no free
time. It was down to business
and that business was to organ
ize the girls' state into six coun
ties. Each county consisted of
44 girls and was broken dowrr
into two cities. The giriT;hen
elected officials ai representa
tives and settled Into the oper-
ation of CityjCbunfJ' and State
government" y '
Flag raisings and lowering, a
ceremony each county was re
sponsible-' lor one time, was tne
most impressive ejngle activity
for the girls; The ceremony was
different each day and' "It gave
you a very special feeling",
Barb said.
Both girls were very active
during the week. Barbara was
Goger County's Federalist Party
chairman, (the girls were divid
ed into either the Federalist or
the Nationalist party). Dianna
was a city councilwoman and '
was a candidate for State Labor '
Commissioner. During the Leg
islative sessions, which were
held in the State Capitol, both
girls were seated on the Senate "
floor as secretaries to a Senator. ,
Each county took their turn
at visiting the Governor's home
to have tea with Mrs. Tom Mc
Call. Funk County, where Diana
lived, was the only county to
have tea when Gov. McCall was
home,
Diana said, "it was really
great being from Eastern Ore
gon, because the kids really,
stuck together". '
County closeness, county spir
it and patriotism allowed the
girls to make friendships which
were closer than either Barbara
or Diana had expected.
Girls' State made a resolution
to make every effort possible to
see that the Legislation passed
during the week-long session be
presented to the regulalr State
Legislature.
The only objection Barbara
and Diana had to Girls' State
was that it was just that girls
and all girls. There was no
male attention or distraction
during the week except for two
Boys' State officers, Pinkerton
Security Guards and one lone
boy who made it passed security.

Soil Conservation work is

were nine diversion ditches com
