Thompson, public information representative of Pacific Gas Transmission Co. and Chet Bond, area superin tendent from Wallula and Pete Anest, senior pilot were at the Heppner-Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday to present an informative pro gram on their gas line. Roger started with the "low profile" that the gas company has through the county by calling attention to the ad that ran in last week's Gazette Times, the ad shows a picture of the marker that asks anyone about to dig in the area to call (509) 534-0657 collect, "Just about all you ever see of us". These markers seen intermit tently along their gas line with an occasional valve and the pumping station is all that is seen in Morrow County because they are only passing through enroute to deliver the gas in southern California. He said "our greatest dread is having a farmer dig into our line". The 3 foot pipes are laid at a minimum of three feet and sometimes deeper. Slides illustrated the operations of the pumping stations. The line from Alberta to California is 612 miles long and carries an enormous amount of energy. Pacific Gas acts as a carrier for El Paso Gas Co. and diverts gas to them at several points in the Northwest. The line carries nearly eight times as much energy as is produced by Grand Coulee Dam or equal to that delivered by all the dams on the Columbia. The pumping stations, 15 total gives the "kick in the pants" to move the gas along at a faster speed. The speed diminishes as it goes through the pipe and the pumping stations give it the neressarv boost to the next pumping station. takes the It i !

S The idea that the gas comes - from a hole in the ground was disDelled when tiie speaker passed around a core of porous I , rock found under a layer of , impervious material. The gas is jj trapped in the pockets of the porous rock. At each of the several 100 wells in Alberta, the gas is dehydrated to remove the moisture and sulphur, carbon dioxide and heavier carbons are extracted from the gas and sold as by-products. The gas is measured at the border between Canada and the United States. A train of tank cars 32 miles long would be required to carry the 23.000 tons of gas earned through the pipe everv day. n - , ' f MNP ( n J 1 V- s t J , !,-' ) j lj,- - " - , I x : I f - a t-- ' r 1 1 March IS. liTJ District was quite an improvement over the early prediction that Heppner would not go any hifiher than sixth position.

Kathleen McEliigott with her finger in her ears and David Warren prepares to leave the noise. Part of the compressor shows in the picture. At lone The Compressor at lone Station No. 9 driven by "an airplane jet engine proved to be the most fascinating part of the tour which the students of the chemistry and physics classes of Heppner High School and advanced math classes from lone High School enjoyed early in the afternoon. Several members of the Chamber of Commerce also went on the tour. The exhaust from a Rolls Royce Jet engine using natural gas fuel, blows the fan that turns the compressor pump that pushes the gas on down the line. As it goes through the compres sor, the gas becomes heated and expands. In order to cram more gas into the pipe it goes into the cooler where it is air cooled with big fans. The cooler outside of the building and the compressor building is very' very noisy. Ear protectors are required by the workmen. Some of the students put them on too. The other building houses an electronic board. Jim Hein of Hermiston and Ed Liebert of Walla Walla visit the pumping plant every day. All of the pumping plants are controlled at Spokane. They are regulated. Heppner Cheerleaders win Trophy An outstanding year of cheer leading, including long hours of practice and planning, was recognized Saturday, when it was announced at the District Basketball Tournament that ihe Heppner varsity cheerleaders were the winners of the rally trophy. Tears came to the girls' eyes tand cheers sprang from the crowd when the announcement w as made The rally earned 22 9 points out of a possible 24. All the cheerleaders at the tournament w ere in competition for the coveted award. The rally squads are judged during each dav of tournament action. The varsity cheerleaders are seniors Barb Sherman. Lisa McCabe and Debbie Peck; juniors Toni Toll and Donna Bellamy. Special recognition should also be given to the Heppner High Pep Band, under the direction of Larry Hildebrandt. for the enthusiasm the mem bers displayed throughout the year. Without the band's hours of practice and willingness to play at almost every game and pep assembly, many of the and Dale stopped and started by remote control from Spokane. The company has its own micro wave stations to send messages to any of the stations as well as by two-way radio in the company cars. Before Canada will export more gas, they must be assured of a 30 year supply plus the present export demands. A hearing will be held within the year for an export permit. If this is granted Pacific Gas expects to build a 23 mile loop into Morrow County. Mr. Thompson mentioned the two theories held on the source of the gas. Some maintain the gas trapped two million years ago and when it is gone, it's gone. Others advance the theory' that 's being formed continuously. At the Chamber of Commerce and follow ing the showing of the slides for the students at lone High School, numerous ques tions were answered. Scholarship Pacific Gas has a program of Vocational and technical scholarships administered by the Community and Technical colleges along the pipe line. These are administered by the colleges. BMCC, Central Oregon Community College and Oregon Tech in this part of the things the cheerleaders did would not have been possible. Heppner should be proud of both groups, the cheerleaders for their w in and the band for its support. 6th Graders Eligible for Boy Scouts A boy who has completed the fifth grade or is eleven and with the approval of his parents or guard.an is eligible now to become a Boy Scout.

These are available to students after a term or two in the college. Need rather than honor roll status is considered in granting the scholarships. Turn-over is very small with the company but there is a wide variety of work available. The company has an in-house train ing program of 42 months. The trainee has a progressive wage increase. Mr. Thompson said they would meet with any group any time to answer any questions and provide a tour of the pumping station.
