Dr. Wolff
Honored
Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Wolff
spent a week in New York City
where Dr. Wolff attended the
National Convention of Ameri
can Academy of Family
Physicians. Dr. Wolff was
elected as one of 21 doctors in
Oregon to be a Charter Fellow
of the Academy. This means
that a family physician is now
recognized as a specialist and
33 of the 50 state universities
now offer a specialty in
Family Practice. The
graduation and presentation
of honors at the convention's
end was held in Madison
Square Garden.
The Wolff's spent a week
visiting friends and relatives
and doing "fun things". They
attended Radio City Music
Hall and saw the Rockettes
and also attended the Boston
Symphony.
Among those visited were
Dr. Wolff's mother, his
brother and sistcr-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Wolff, Mrs.
Wolff's sister, Sister Mary
Salvator, and Mrs. Wolff's
former roommate whom she
had not seen since her
wedding.
Mrs. Wolff said the autumn
colors as they drove through
Wisconsin were really
beautiful.

food furnished.
Sad
' Due to a lack of interest of the parents of our Cub Scouts, we
are going to have to disband our program. We have about fifty
interested boys for Cubs and Webelos with one interested parent
to act as a den mother and one to act as a den mother coach and
trainer The parents who put this program together two years
ago have all taken on new responsibilities and various other
work loads that will not allow them to continue their efforts to
have a Cub Scout Pack in Heppner. In addition to this, their boys
have almost all advanced into the Boy Scout group in which they
naturally have a greater interest.
It will be a great loss to the boys of Heppner to lose Cub
Scouting but without proper leaders there is just no way to keep
it going There is no way to operate a Cub Sout program with the
number of boys that we have and put them all in one den. It
wouldn't be fair to either the boys or the leaders. Our Christmas
tree outings last year will long be remembered by all of the
Scouts, Cubs and parents who took part. There were some
younger boys that had never been to the mountains to do that
sort of thing. It was a great experience seeing all of the kids
selecting trees for their lot and

urges "Congress

" Rupe Kennedy, Port of

again to the Heppner-Morrow
County Chamber of Com
merce Monday the need of
keeping alive the intent of
Coneress as written into the
John Day Dam Act. .."when
'the John Day Dam is com
pleted the (Air Force then and
the Navv now) would move
onto lands farther from the

The John Day Act is coming
to a close, "We must move to
keep this intent active", he
said. The Port of Morrow and
the County Court have written
letters urging the relocation of
the bombing range.
TIMING SIGNIFICANT
The Navy has told them in a
letter they can move when
Congress gives them the
money to move. The Stanford
Research Institute has been
hired to study alternate sites.
The contract has given them a
deadline of March 1.
The year of waiting follow
ing PGE's intent of building a
nuclear plant expires before
that. The orderly procession of
plans for the construction of
the nuclear plant could very
well be delayed.
The Navy could hang on and
on after the close of the
project. He stressed again
keeping the intent of congress
alive.
Judge Henry Kaye will
speak at the Oct. 30 Chamber
of Commerce meeting. There

He urged those with tickets to
sell them and turn the money
to Harley Sager at First

reminded the chamber
members that the gym is open
for "the old Men" on Monday
and Thursday. "Come out and
loosen up those tensions."
Bud Forrester of the East

cons of the nine ballot mea

Oregonians' pattern of putting

initiative and referendum. "I
hope they never give up."

Long Range Plans
Okay; Serial
Levy Vote Set
Morrow County School
District R-l board members
voted unanimously Monday
evening to accept the recom
mendations of the Long Range
Planning Committee.
To finance the first three
steps for remodeling and
improvements, the board
decided to present a 3-year
serial levy to the vote of the
people on Dec. 19. The levy of
1 69 per 1000 TCV would be
required to raise the neces
sary $150,000. for each of the
three years. Superintendent
Ron Daniels said that it would
be less because according to
Assessor Joyce Bergstrom,
the value of all property on the
tax rolls this year has in
creased two million over last
year on which figures the $1.69
rate was computed.
The board voted to ask for
new price quotes from 4 or 5
companies for school district
property insurance for 1973.
Each will bid on exactly the
same program. A Portland
firm has written a policy for
all the districts in Oregon. It is
believd theiv price for Morrow
County could be secured for
$4000. to $5000. less than the
district is now paying.
The new quotes should be
available for discussion at the
November board meeting.
The present policy expires Jan
1, 1973.
The school district auditor
will attend the next board
meeting also.
There was one negative vote
opposing the board's position
on Ballot Measure No. 9. The
board voted in opposition to
the measure.
John Matthews of Irrigon
was appointed to fill out the
term on the shool board until
the next election. Mr. John
Brandt resigned due to his
working hours he was not able
to attend board meeting.
Clint Agee and Hal Whitaker
appeared before the board to
ask if Elks members who are
teaching and going through
the chairs might count the
days at the State Convention
as emergency leave. The
board made no changes in
board policy and said they
didn't feel that such an
absence could be considered
"emergency".
The lone High School re
quested as a field trip, a
Business Education visit to
First National Bank in Port
land. The bus trip would be for
one day the cost of $79.50.
The instructor, Miss Donna
Waibel worked there last
summer.
The board gave tentative
approval with details to be
presented in the November
meeting for final approval.
