Hanscll's Economy Plan
We got an interesting bro
chure, the "economy model" on
School Finance and Tax Pro
gram, a Hansell-Newbry pro
proposed State change.
Haven't got to study it in
detail yet but I like the 57
percent support of operating
costs of schools better in the
Hansell plan than the 100
percent of the Governor's plan.
Staff Hansell has been there
before and he really squeezes
my nickels and this what it
takes.
In summary the "economy
plan" lists 11 goals:
1. New Tax base for schools. ,
2. 57 percent School Support
3. 27 percent property tax
relief
4. Provides Property Tax
limitation
5. Avoids State-wide property
tax (Hooray)
6. No major shift in taxes
7. Moderate increase in In
come taxes (I'd rather go
this way than Sales Tax. )
8. Satisfies Seranno Case
9. Keeps Local Control ( It
may be slipping but we
still have some.(
Encourages economy in
school.
Keeps pressure on State
Budget.
If you have a chance to see
one of those brochures, study it.
You'll find it interesting.

Tops Clubs
Soo Changes
A big change to TOPS Clubs in
eastern Oregon comes with the
resignation of Mrs. Fern Chris
tian, Pendleton, as area super
visor for TOPS Club, Inc. Mrs.
Dorothy Davis, La Grande, has
been appointed her replace
ment as of Feb. 3, the Regional
Director, Joanne Wynveen has
announced.
The Lexington Club has
varied its regular schedule of
exercise at 2:00 and meeting at
2:30 by calling a special
program for next Monday, Feb.
12. Members are to bring
low-calorie salads (and their
recipes) to the Lex. City Hall at
1:00. After the weighing-in and
luncheon, Mrs. Elsie Allyn Fox

exercises and club leader Mrs.

All clubs regret Mrs. Chris

area supervisor when there
were only 6 clubs in eastern
Oregon in 1969: now there are 74
clubs in the area and the load is
more than she can continue to
carry. All clubs are working on
plans for the State Recognition
Day to be held in Pendleton next
May 17 and 18. These clubs are
open to persons of either sex
and of any race or creed.

Three Heppner High School
senior girls were warmly greet
ed at the Soroptimist Club
lucheon meeting Thursday.
They were three busy seniors
who had taken time to fill out
the application for the Soropti
mist Citizenship award. The
three were so close that the six
member committee split evenly
with two votes for each girl. A
qualified and new person of the
community read the application
forms and the letters of
recommendation that had been
written for each one. The 1st
winner's application has been
"sent in for district judging.
Because of the caliber of the
applications, the club voted to
give two second prizes of $10.
These were presented to
Shanney Farley and Tami
Meador. Lou Anne Kelly won
first place for the $25 Bond. .
New Member
With the announcement that
Carolyn Davis was to be
welcomed as a new member,
the Soroptimists greeted her
with a round of applause.
Several applications have
gone out for the Training
Awards Program scholarship.
These must be back into Mary
Eleanor Gilman at First Na
tional or Dorothy Heard at the
Gazette-Times by Feb. 10. Any
woman who needs to meet
changing demands in employ
ment or wishes to enter the job
market or to upgrade skills for
advancement in their careers
may apply. The scholarship is
granted on the regional level
and up to two $1000 scholarships
may be granted Northwestern
Region.
Business Meeting
At Wagoa HoeH
The business meeting will be
held today at the Wagon Wheel.
Final plans will be made for the
annual Valentine Party to be
given at the Nursing Home on
Feb. 10. Mrs. Paul Jones and
Mrs. Emile Groshens are co
chairmen. Tom Sullivan Speaks
Tom Sullivan, executive
secretary of the Governors
Commission on Youth was the
guest speaker. The Commission
of 22 people has been appointed
to be alert for institutions that
repress youth. They are unique
in that they are not responsible
to deliver a service to any
youth.
In a survey, it was noted that
children who did not get into
trouble was because they were
able to find a socially accept
able and gratifying role in life.
Those who can't find this role,
get into trouble. Of those
employed in Oregon today, 11
percent are under 25 years old.
This same age group is also the
largest group that is unemploy
ed. .
Institutions, schools,
churches and the laws, do they
provide kids with a choice?
Mr. Sullivan traced the case
history of Geramy a boy from a
split home who was finally
banished from Damasch Hos
pital. "He is a good institutional
citizen. This is where he feels
secure." On the streets of
Portland, he is used. He passes
drugs. "Some day he'll be killed
because he knows too much."
He asked Soroptimist mem
bers to look at Morrow County
with a cold hard look. What kind
of an opportunity do we provide
as a community? What makes
you feel a part of this com
munity? Are you allowing
young people to have that same
feeling?
And Vacuum the car
