WEATHER By DON GILLIAM Nov. 14 -Nov. 28 Hi Low Pre. , Preliminary investigation of two possible nuclear power plant sites located in Wasco and Gilliam counties, under way for several months, has been com pleted by Portland General Electric company. The utility has been studying the sites as possible alternates to its pro posed nuclear development at the Carty Reservoir site near Boardman in Morrow county, in the event the latter project runs into licensing difficulties due to its proximity to the U.S. Navy's practice bombing range south west of Boardman. From Portland this week PGE's Neil Woodley empha sized that the Boardman (Carty) site is still the com pany's first choice for an Eastern Oregon nuclear plant but time lags built into licensing procedures for site approval by Oregon's Nuclear Thermal Energy Coucil and the Atomic Energy Commission indicate a necessity for "banking" alter nate sites. Morrow county residents, members of the Oregon Con gressional delegation, Boeing and PGE have been negotiat ing, so far unsuccessfully, with the Navy seeking a commit ment for removal of its training facility at Boardman. PGE filed Notice of Intent on the Boardman site last Feb ruary. Located south of the city of Boardman the site is on land leased to the Boeing corporation adjacent to the Navy facility. At that time the utility said it intends to build a thermal plant, probably nuclear, with possible co-owners, for operation in 1979. At that time, the company expected to file for site certifi cation in February 1973 and indicated intent to complete the plant in 1979 or 1980. REPRESENTATIVES of various organizations were to meet with members of the Medical Society Wednesday to explore the possibilities of se curing another doctor for Heppner. pel 'V r 'U JV:. 0 At the punch bowl during Petersons Open House.

Peterson's Grand Opening climaxes an expansion of the original building, much re modeling, painting, carpeting, and decorating. All this work has been done over the past several years with "business as usual" the order of the day. when J.O.Peterson, Frank Turner and Burl Coxen put together the three buildings on Main St. Coxen a barber rented space in the Hotel for his barbershop. He continued rent ing there because the hotel keeper told him if he moved out to his own building across the street, he'd bring in another barber. In 1969, Turner, VanMarter and Bryant moved into the Coxen Bldg. and Peterson Jewelers enlarged their quart ers by taking in their former space. The cardinal and gold carpet ing affords a luxuriant feeling and look throughout the store. Friends sent 20 potted plants and flowers for the Grand Opening.
