Bob is drawing a call board like the railroad, and the volunteers will be listed alphabetically to start with Bob says "it is tootin' along." Anyone wishing to volunteer for this worthwhile project is asked to call Bob Lowe at 676-iH The New Boardman Controversy (This editorial is taken from the Lake County Examiner whose editor points out how Lake County is involved m the proposed move of the U S Navy Bombing Range': Some parts of history have the bad habit of repeating themselves, and sometimes the second-time-around is more fatal as may well prove to be the case for Lake County in the latest attempt to move the I'.S Navy off its Boardman bombing range Five alternative sites have been suggested to the Navy, and tour of those sites would gobble up thousands of acres of desert grazing lands in Lake County The earlier run of this story took place in 1959. I960 and 1961 Mark Hatfield was governor of Oregon when the state had an offer from the Boeing Company of Seattle to lease from Ore. a large tract of land at Boardman near Heppner. where Boeing could develop a space-age industrial park Oregon signed the lease, but did not own the land it was mostly public domain adnnsistered by the Bureau of Land Management, plus that Navv bombing "range and some private lands The state began putting together a trade deal trade some 116.000 acres of state-owned school lands in Lake County (Sections 16 and 36 1 to the BLM for a block of about four townships of public domain near Alkali Lake 92.160 acres. This block the state would then trade to the Navy for the Boardman bombing range, and the Navy would move its bombing practice to the Alkali site The Navy had agreed to such a deal, though it was not all that keen about its jet bombers flying that much farther from Whidbv Island, at Seattle, to drop flour sacks. Another plan was for the state to buy the land that Boardman needed bv Boeing, and this was the final answer, using funds from the State Veterans Department for that purpose. No trade of state school lands was made, and no blocking was done at Alkali. The onlv local question raised at the time was whether grazing would continue to be permitted on the bombing range at Alkali and assurance was given that it would, on a Dart, at least But time marched on and progress took place in the Boardman countrv. changing the picture again, and again indicating that the Navy bonbing range should be moved. The John Dav dam completion put irrigation water within reach of vast Boardman areas, and there are agricultural developments proposed amounting to millions of dollars. Also there is a proposal for consrtuction of a multi-million dollar nuclear power plant With such economic winds blowing there is no way that lands can continue to merely sit as a target for practice bombs. State Officials and the Oregon delegation in Washington have been working to get the bonbing range moved, and the BLM is cooperating bv suggesting alternative sites. A recent letter from Harrison Loesch, assistant Secretary of the Interior, to Rep. Al Ullman suggested four BLM areas, al! within Lake County, as possible alternatives to the Boardman site, but offered a first suggestion: That the Navy first explore all possibilities of doing their bombing training at the Army's firing range at Yakima, Washington, a quarter of a million acre spread which, Loesch pointed out, has the advantage of already being contaminated from vears of use as a weapons firing center. But if that site is not feasible. Loesch suggested BLM acreages in Lake County as follows : -An area between Wagontire and Christmas Lake; --A site on the east side of Summer Lake: -An area south of the Christmas Valley-Wagontire road; -A site near Alkali Lake. So far there has been heard no mention of trading the state school lands to BLM for any of the mentioned sites. As Ullman stated in a recent news release, he is encouraged that the BLM appears willing to trade its lands for the Boardman property. We believe the state school lands should be traded to BLM for Sheriff September 13 Search and Rescue meeting held at Courthouse, 8:00 p.m. attended by 30 men.

Cooper represented a group ol Harney County rancher in Maahintiton meeting which headed off the ihooi land trade and brought about Hie stale purchase of the Itoardman properties Last v.eek. Cooper ugeled thai the Lake Counts' coninussioners should send their district attorney to tukmia and find oul every available tact about thai firing range, and use the inlornialion to pursuade the Navy lo do Hs practice there.

Caverhill Confusion In Internal Revenue . .We have a surprising lack of information from those who know about the work pile up in the Internal Revenue Service. Unless the matter is being ignored or forgotten there is some nine billion dollars in over withholding in income taxes to be returned to the tax payers. Time is short, next April 15th taxpayers will be sending in taxes, and the treasury may be sending out refunds at the same time that will lessen the net balance in revenue. It is a touchy subject that President Nixon has ignored. Senator McGovern night be of more service to the country if he would explore the matter, instead of making verbal "mud pies' with the Vietnam problem. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Kellev.

Politicians really try to make hay, don't they? We are pretty disgusted but not sur prised that blame is being heajH'd on President Nixon about the wheat deal. Seems like we read quite awhile ago that there were strong possi bilities there would be heavy exports of wheat. Mr. Nixon nor Mr. McGovern fail to thrill me. but it seems like this is a pretty cold type issue to bring up when almost anyone could add up two and two about what likely would happen to the wheat price if Russia and China got into the market.

Sept. 22, has seen a large demand for licenses at the clerk's office Light showers and increased humidity fol lowed by cooler weather this week erased the anxiety felt by many. General reports indicate that the pride of the Blues fared well through the winter and their number increased over previous vears. Edward F. Bloom, city school superintendent, urged adoption of the County Unit Svstem for Morrow County schools, in a discourse before the Lions Monday luncheon. The county unit law provides that an entire county be incorporated in a single school district, with a single board administering the school bus iness of Ihe entire county.
