HEPPNER (ORE.) GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, October 4, 1973 Flash flood calory . . . (Continue from Page l contains a tone receiver, battery, power supply and a set of Indicator status lights. According to Heppner Fire Chief Forrest Burkenbine, this alarm system could be con nected to the existing fire alarm system in Heppner. Each of the flash flood alarm systems will cost $5,000 and maintenance cost would be $1500 a year. The Depart ment of Commerce will install and maintain the alarm sys tems and the only remaining cost left is the telephone and power bill. The other flood warning system, the precipitation gauge, could be installed at either Shobe Canyon or Balm Fork. This system would relay to a satellite such information as precipitation, river crests, river speeds, temperatures and flood data. The data would be recorded every IS minutes and trans mitted to the satellite, where it would be sent to a central recording station on the East Coast. Then the information would be sent to the Portland weather office. In case of a flash flood, the recorded data could be obtained in Portland in a matter of minutes. Dave Franien, Soli Con servation Service, pointed out "This precipitation gauge would help evalute the work done on the Shobe Canyon watershed. It would tell how much water is at the head of tne canyon, and with a stream flow gauge we could record the measure of flow down stream." This precipitation gauge would also cost $5,000 with the government picking up all the cost. "Both these systems could be installed before June of 1974," concluded Bauman. "All that needs to be done is the approval of the community." Alma L. Beckett dies in Portland Alma Lucille Beckett, wife of John William Beckett, formerly of Heppner, died in Portland, Sept. 24.

Eugene-'The American economy can no longer stand the atrain of excessive gov ernmental Interference," Ore gon Senator Bob Packwood uid today In speech at the annual Associated Oregon Industries and Oregon Retail Council Conference at the Eugene Hotel. "In 1071, 1 was one of four United States Senators to oppose legislation to give the president the power to impose restraints on our economy," Packwood explained, "as I felt at that time the economy was resilient enough to sta bilize Itself without placing artificial controls on wages and prices." "Once the president was given the authority to restrain our economy," Packwood pointed out, "I felt It appro priate to support his efforts. "It now appears that wage and price controls are being administered so unfairly and unwisely as to render them useless, and I fear even harmful, in combating Infla tion," Packwood protested. "The Cost of Living Council has, in my opinion, developed some of the most lll-concelved and Ill-planned economic remedies that we have teen thus far." "I, for one, would find It extremely difficult to vote for the continuation of the au thority which has established such unfair practices," the Oregon Senator concluded. "It may be time for the experts to give the economy breather and allow It to reach Its own level of operation."
