Cost of cam pine
out is coins up
The Stale Transportation
Commission has proposed an
increase in state parks camp
ground fees effective with the
1974 ramping season.
As approved by the com
mission, campground fees in
Oeeon's state narks will be
increased from $1 to $1.2 for
unimproved lenl sites, from
$2 to $2 50 for improved
campsites, and from $3 to $4
for fully-equipped trailer
sites.
The proposed fee increase is
expected to raise about
$335,000 annually and will
offset a chronic deficit in the
state parks operation and
maintenance budget. The def
icit for the 1972-73 fiscal year
was $388,000.

Heppner vs. Prineville in
swim meet?
That's right, but before the
first swim meet there are a
few things the Heppner team
has to do.
First, Heppner has to form a
swim- team. Although some
youngsters have signed up,
there are still vacancies in all
divisions for interested
swimmers 6 18 years of age.
All that is required is show
up at 4:30 p.m. for free
instruction and coaching.
Second, and probably the
most important of all, the

about the first of September.
Accompanying the 10 youn

Oregon's camping fees in line
with comparable fees instate
parks In Washington and
California.
The commission believed
that the across-the-board fee
increase imposed on all park
users was the most equitable
solution to balancing the parks
budget.
A public opinion survey
conducted for the Highway
Division in 1972 by Richard L.
Kennedy & Associates of
Eugene revealed that an
overwhelming majority of
Oiegonians-both campers
and nnncampers-believed
that users should bear the
costs of operating and main
taining state park campgrounds.
swim team, as is the case with
any newly founded organiza
tion, needs sponsors (money)
for swim equipment. The new
group will also need all the
help it can get for timers,
judges, and other workers.
Any person or group wishing
to help this swim team get off
to a flying start is asked to
contact Judy Gentry or
Marcia Young, either at the
swim center or by phoning
676-9971.
Watch for the date of the
first swim meet at Prineville

South Australia. His regrets
on leaving Morrow County
were that he count remain
longer and that he had not see
a rattlesnake!

countries participate in these
programs annually.
All families in Morrow
County are eligible to apply to
host an IFYE. Application and
further information are avail
able at the County Extension
office.
Pre-registration forms for
all 4-H entries at the Morrow

Curtis Lynch and Greg Goshens decided to get into the act
with the rest of the merchants Saturday during Sidewalk
Sale Pays. Curtis started out with a packet of Kool-aid,
borrowed ice, sugar and glasses from mother; and in a
matter of minutes had made $3.30. His mother promptly
deducted the price of the sugar from his earnings. Curtis
ended up with close to $3. Not bad for a 9-year old merchant.
Greg was the offical taster.
