Two Worthwhile Projects
There are two worthwhile projects underway currently in
Heppner to which contributions can be made, one of nionev and
one of time Donations of any amount will be appreciated b Ihe
high school towards the Football Score Hoard While this was a
3-vear protect, more than hall of the cost was met in the first
year Contributions may be left with the Chamber of Commerce
or the High School
The cost to the Chamber was $ISW ittwith about in initial
costs being absorbed by I'epsi Cola The HMCC benefit
basketball game netted $40 towards the score board So with
other donations the total amount contributed last year was
to leave a balance of ol7
one project planned this year, to help pay off the balance, will
be the gate receipts of the Heppner vs Maupin football game on
Oct 20 There will be an advance sale ol tickets
Help vourself and the Scoreboard Huv a ticket'
AMIU'L ANCE DRIVERS NEEDED
The other worthwhile project is the Community olunteer
program for manning the ambulance This one doesn't take
nionev but your time Rob Lowe, veteran ambulance driver of
nianv vears. is in the process o! developing a list ol volunteers so
that each one will be on call only one night a month The hours
would be 6 p ni to 6a m The hospital would alert each volunteer
the dav before his turn
The ambulance averages about 7 calls a month and most of
them are in the day time The day time calls will continue to be
handled by the hospital crew .
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

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.
(hie ol the Saw s long ago objections to bombing practice in
Uike County was'lhc lacl that this county is the center of flight
lanes, both military and commercial, to which Iheir bombing

than ever tml.iv. tor those flight lanes are more used than
ever watch Ihe jet streams above us every day. and hear the
sounds ol high flying aircraft every night The air space above
Uike County is crisscrossed by flight patterns
So we would join Cooper in urging the county commissioners
lo send Marcus Ward on a fact finding mission to Yakima With

PIONEER PONDERINGS
By W.S. 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.

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.
