And a great Jim and Effie. This latter verified by the Senior Class of 76, Kristi Fisher, Diane Peterson, Mark Richardson and Frank Lovey. Effie Stirewalt is the Spray rodeo court's chaperone and advisor and she and Jim were up with the sun Saturday morning to get girls and horses to Arlington for their appearance in the parade and luncheon at noon.

Housing For Elderly Ballot Measure 3, a measure on the May primary ballot, could mean $4,338,000 in loan allocations for building in Morrow-Umatilla County, it was announced this week. The figures are based on a study conducted by the State Hous ing Division and released by Gregg Smith, Administrator. If pregon voters approve Ballot Measure 3, the Slate Housing Division will be authorized to underwrite $180 million in general obligation bonds. Proceeds will be used to provide low interest loans to builders for the construction of rental housing. These units will be rented to elderly individuals on fixed incomes. The rent payments will pay off the obligation to the State of Oregon in the same manner as Veterans' Housing loans are paid off. No tax dollars are planned to be used for this program. An estimated 15,000 multi family units will be built or restored in the state. Of that number, approximately 363 units will be built or restored in Morrow-Umatilla Countys alone. These figures are based on the ratio of elderly persons to the number of available rental units in the county, according to the Oregon Housing Division. Construction of the units will provide 151 direct jobs to the county, or 151 man-years of work. In addition, 226 jobs in related industries will be created because of the build ing project, or an additional 226 man-years of work for Morrow-Umatilla Countys. 7S Veterans Eligible If Pleasure Passes No. TO BE TORN SAMPLE PRIMARY NOMINATING BALLOT FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AT THE PRIMARY ELECTION TO BE HELD MAY 25TH. 1976 NO. 3 IONE PRECINCT A CMOSS PRESIDENT OF THE 16 ItONAlD KEAGAN 15 GERALD FORD .nr.T.TixE SIONAL DISTRICT for ?
