Ac cording to State Vice Presi dent Bill Elfering of Pilot Rock, the United States Jay cees have set minimum membership startdards at 20 members in order for a chapter to be genuinely cap able to carry on a Jaycee program. The Morrow County Jaycees are not currently in conformity with this standard. An effort is now underway to Dan Uancell Throws Different Lieht iiea Representative Stafford Hansell the dinner speaker at the Tax Forum held last week in Heppner reviewed some of the points of Governor Mc Calls proposal for school financing. He said the basic part of the governor's pro gram would support the school but "it's a little gray how to get the money back to the school districts". In talk ing it over with the governor, Mr. Hansell asked "What will this do to local control", to which the governor answered "Local control is a myth". Stafford laughed when he asked the governor to go with him to Umapine, Helix and Ukiah and tell them that. Other committees in the legislature are working to gether and will probably present a program to support 50 percent of the school costs. He said "except in extreme emergency a sales tax won't be considered". We could increase the liquor tax and pickup 10 million dollars. Increase tuition at the state schools has been con sidered. Another area few have had enough nerve to mention is "Economy in government". Homeowners relief is going to cost. No single new source could fi nance the school program. HEPPNER Huskies Allen McCabe took the ball over for the Mustangs second 6 points from the (wo yard line. The extra points pliy failed. Then Karl Harrison a few minutes later took a 15 yard pass from Jerry Gentry for the games final TD. McCabe ran for the two extra points. Hoppners defense only allowed the Huskies 3 yards rushing but allowed Sherman 107 yards from the air. Mike Bergstrom led Ilepp ners rushing with 95 yards in 12 carries averaging 7.9 yards Weekends least 50 horses will be compet ing for top ten standings, as well as prize money, saddles, buckles, silver trays and trophies, bridles and other tack.

The Morrow County Jaycees are currently inviting men be tween the ages of 21-36 who are interested in this com munity, in having fun while doing a lot of good, and in meeting other people to join the organization.

The education committee and the tax committee are work ing together and the tax committee has a distribution formulae. He appreciates Oregon's law that the state has to have a balanced budget "but as long as we have any unaccounted funds, the demands are tremendous." "It's almost impossible to cut off a program when it's started". Stafford's years in the house have placed him in a position of respect and members seek his advise and he sometimes has the reputation of being a "hatchet man". He laughed and said "I don't get to do as much hatcheting as I'd like". He referred then to Measure No. 7 to repeal the Governors pension. He felt that it was just a foot in the door and pretty soon the taxpayers would be asked to provide a pension for the Secretary of state, the treasurer, president of the senate and maybe the speaker of the house. The measure is to repeal the Number 37 per carry. Gentry had 30 yards in 7 carries and McCabe took 25 yards In 10 carries Ileppners rushing totaled 146 yards. Gentry passed 5 for 12 (.417) with a total of 46 yards and I Benham Mulcom and Allen McCatw led the defense with 10 tackles apiece, followed by Dale Hedman with 9, Kenny Eckman with 8 and three others with 7.
