the doctors, nurses, and other hospital personnel as well as
the interested public.
Each of the counties making up the Eastern Oregon Region
is contributing toward this purchase and toward the rental or
purchase of educational film that will be requested by

Gas truck
overturns
near Cecil
A gasoline transport south
bound on Highway 74 was
crowded to the edge by an
oncoming truck, struck a soft
shoulder and overturned Jan.
17 about two miles north of
Cecil.
The driver was not injured,
but there was a great deal of
damage to the truck.
The load of gasoline was
transferred to another truck
and delivered to Paul Petty
john Oil Company in lone.
The condition of Highway 74
has been the object of com
plaint of many lone citizens. A
petition was circulated re
cently asking for its improve
ment. The danger of two
trucks meeting on the narrow
road was one of the reasons
cited in the petition for urging
improvements.
Bank of

that indicated the hank had
made outstanding gains in all

Monday a
student
holiday
Monday, Jan. 28, will be a
holiday for all students in the
Morrow County School Dis
trict. School will be dismissed as a
result of action taken by the
school board in preparing this
year's school calendar. The
"board felt that additional
inservice time would be
necessary for the teaching
staff to develop programs to
meet the new graduation
requirements that will be
effective July 1, 1974. To meet
this need, they established
Jan. 28 and April 15 as teacher
inservice days.
The secondary teachers will
meet at Riverside High School
and will devote their time to
the development of planned
course statements and stu
den's competencies.
The elementary teachers
will meet at A C. Houghton
Elementary School in Irrigon.
The inservice time will be
spent working on the devel
opment of techniques for
teaching the new science
program which is designed for
more emphasis on conducting
scientific experiments and
less on textbook teaching.
The elementary teachers
will also review the district's
standardized testing program.

County budget
talks begin
A meeting was held Monday
at the Morrow County court
house by a budget advisory
committee in an effort to plan
ahead for the coming year's
budget,
Although none of the pro
posals were adopted at this
time it gave the advisory
board an opportunity to dis
cuss some of the items coming
up for the new fiscal year.
Some of the items covered
included questions on the
retirement of county personel,
and at what age they would be
eligible for retirement. Pres
ently county employees are
paying 6 per cent instead of
the 4 per cent they paid last
fiscal year for their retire
ment plan.
Following the discussion on
the retirement plan, the board
heard Bill Heath, equipment
operator for the county, tell of
the needs of the County Road
Department.
Heath asked the board for
consideration of a raise of $143

office and Rodney Linnell was

ier. Larry Prock was re

DAVIDSON TO ATTEND
VOCTH LEGISLATURE
Greg Davidson, Heppner
High School senior, will be
attending the 1974 YMCA
Youth Legislature at Salem,
April 23-27.
A pre-legislature session
will be held at Portland
Community College on Feb.
23, leading up to the week in
Salem.
The YMCA Youth Legis
lature is an in-depth look at
government, with all dele
gates readily participating in
all branches of government.
As part of his application,
Greg had to submit his own
bill; these will all later be
discussed and debated at the
conference, using govern
mental procedures.
15 persons
baptized
Members of the Irrigon
Assembly of God went to
Hermiston Sunday night to
attend a baptismal service at
the Assembly of God there.
Fourteen people from Irri
gon were baptized by Pastor
Robert Schmoll, and Pastor
C.K. Barnes of Hermiston
baptized one.
Meetings continue at the
Assembly of God in Irrigon,
with the Rev. Trulin of Yuba
City. Ca., every night except
Saturday, concluding Sunday
night, Jan. 27. Services start
at 7 p.m.
per month, effective Jan. 1,
with an additional 7 per cent
raise on July 1, 1974.
The preset salary for an
equipment operator is $687.97
per month; however, the
"take home pay" amounts to
slightly over $485 per month.
Heath contended that with
the rising cost of living, the
increases in gasoline and fuel
oil, it is hard to make ends
meet on the salary he pres
ently earns.
Although Heath said he
realizes that an increase in his
cost of living means an
increase to the taxpayer as
well as the county when it
plans the next fiscal budget,
he feels that most of the
County Road Department is
underpaid in relation to other
counties.
Judge Paul Jones told
Heath, "I don't dispute the
fact that some of the boys are
not taking home enough
money ; however, we are paid
by taxes and we can't raise the
taxes to meet the present
demand."
One member mentioned
that the cost of asphaltic
concrete had risen from $37 to
$60 per ton, delivered from
Portland, and with the present
road conditions in the county
the cost of repairing them
could no! be determined.
Discussing other problems
facing the county, Herman
Winter said that as of July 1
the county may be required to
hire a building inspector to
carry out the building codes of
the State of Oregon, and also
that the present jail may have
to be closed as it will not meet
state requirements as of July
1.
The only jail meeting state
requirements at present is the
City Jail of Hermiston.
It was also pointed out that
although the county has ad
vertised for the purchase of
bulk fuel oil and gasoline there
has been no response and the
county may be forced into
paying retail prices for fuel.
Perhaps by May. when the
advisory board meets to
establish a fiscal budget for
the county, some of these
questions may be resolved.

opposition to the inclusion of
kindergartens in the Morrow
County School System. There
had been some misunder
standing in a presentation
made by Dennis Doherty at
the December meeting about
the center's stand on the
kindergarten issue. Mrs.
Brindle assured the board that
the Neighborhood Center
Board is not opposed to the
kindergarten program.
Action was tabled on Senate
Bill 622 by which school
districts could allow the use of
one-half the value of unused
sick leave in computing re
tirement benefits for em
ployees. It was felt no action
could be taken until the ,
Oregon legislature considers
some changes in the bill.
Bids were awarded on two
66-passenger busses. The body
bid was awarded to Schetky
Equipment at $4,963.98 and the
chassis bid to Farley Motors
for $6,509.00, delivered.
In further action the board
adopted the implementation
plan for the new graduation
requirements and forwarded
the plan to the State Depart
ment of Education. A 35
member advisory committee
has been working on this plan.
