Page . THE GAZETTE-TIMES. At high schools i u Students in lone and Hepp ner High School shops will have new facilities this fall. Both Morrow County scho ols are receiving new shop buildings, scheduled for com pletion by the start of school. At lone, the existing shop classroom, accommodating a full time shop and mechanical drawing program, was locat ed in an area, 65 by 30 feet. Student pressure in shop classes had steadily increased to the point that the existing shop was scheduled for six periods each day with over 100 students enrolled. Arts and crafts, woodwork ing and metal working classes all were occupying the same shop with storage space at a premium. In addition, one class in small engine repair met in a custodial work room in the basement of the old grade school building. At county fair Cake baking, wheat use face contestants County fairs in Oregon will soon be active and the Oregon Wheathearts will be placing the spotlight on Oregon wheat products by sponsoring two different awards highlighting Oregon wheat. The Oregon Wheathearts is the women's auxiliary of the Oregon Wheat Growers League. One award is the Cake Baking contest. This contest has been established for many years and each county winner travels to the Oregon Wheat Growers League convention in December to compete for the coveted state prize. Last year's winner was Mary Lou Wirth of Baker. Cake baking contests are held at 11 county fairs . . . Baker, Gilliam, Jefferson, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wasco, Yamhill and Polk. The contest at the Yamhill county fair is new this year. Contestants from Polk and Marion counties will compete at the Polk County Fair. Prizes given at the county level are $5 for first prize, $3 for second and $2 for third. Ribbons are also awarded. The state prize, decided during the December 6-8, 1976 state convention held in Portland, is a top award of $100 along with a trophy. Another contest sponsored by the Oregon Wheathearts is for the 4-H multi-use baking contest. This contest is for the use of wheat products in baked goods by 4-H members. The 4-H contest will feature wheat products such as ala or bulgur, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, cracked wheat, rolled wheat and whole wheat berry in a baked goods. A recipe must accompany entry. There will be three winners in each county. These will be by age groups consisting of one award for seniors, one for intermediates and one for juniors.

A standard cake recipe, Lemon Wheat Cake, is used for the cake baking contest and is printed here.

She points out that the Oregon Wheathearts have been active in several Bake-A Ramas throughout Oregon this past year. Morrow County Wheathearts presi dent Mrs. Charles (Bev) Doherty, lone, will be in charge of the local contest. WHfATHFARTS 1G76 OFFICIAL mLIlLL.

July The new building, being built by Amos Gaines, Con struction of Burns, is located across Gooseberry Road from the main building and will be 100 by 50 feet. The old shop area will be revised into a band-music room. The same size structure view is taken at Heppner where a new, 150 by 70 foot building is underway by East ern Oregon Construction of Pendleton. The need for a new voca tional shop at Heppner has been evident for years, ac cording to "Growing Pains", a report from the Morrow County School District. The old facilities were inadequate in both size and structure. The size restricted enrollment and project size of the students. The woodworking shop classes were housed in a and aalt.

Nine of them are Japanese students, visiting Morrow County on a 4-H Labo Exchange program. The tenth is the Japanese chaperone. Families from Heppner, lone, Lexington, Boardman, Umatilla and Irrigon greeted the visitors at Nomad Restaurant in Boardman and took them to their respective homes. Plenty of smiles shown but few words were spoken as the Japanese youngsters were introduced to their Morrow County families. They will stay with their families for three weeks. In Morrow County, families and Japanese youngsters are matched like this: ' Yoko Miyakawa, the 39-year-old chaperone, is staying with the Don Bennett family near Heppner; Yuichi Harada, an 11-year-old boy, is staying with the David Jones family in , Lexington ; Motoko Hazama, a 13-year-old girl is staying with the Harold Baker family in Boardman; Mayumi Hosaka, a 16-year-old girl is staying with the John Gochnauer family in Heppner; Yukio Koibuchi, a 15-year-old boy, is staying with the Louis Carlson family in lone; Yoshio Matsudaira, a 14-year-old boy, is staying with the Desmond Witt family in Umatilla ; Masahiko Mitsui, a 12-year-old boy, is staying with the Roger Palmer family in Heppner; Noriko Mizugaki, a 14-year-old girl, is staying with the Vera K. Evans family in Irrigon; Miki Murai, a 13-year-old girl, is staying with the Leslie Paustian family in Heppner; and Masayo Sagara, a 15-year-old girl, is staying with the Robert Abrams family in Heppner. The Heppner Gazette-Times welcomes our visitors to Morrow County. Paving sizzles as money ends The paving contract com pleted by the L.W. Vail Co. of Hermiston, was accepted by the Irrigon City Council in their July meeting Tuesday night. Two streets running east and west were paved. Avail able money did not permit paving as much as had been nticipated. Council members greed that monies received, from state street funds that come from gas and license revenues are not keeping up with street needs and other funds must be found to improve and maintain the streets. Councilman Bill Cooley said he had heard numerous com plaints about noisy motor bikes creating disturbances. They are especially annoying to tUlesjy pAQpla and to linmt who are ill. It was agreed that stricter controls must come. A tone change to permit expansion of the Ted Wilson Mobile Home Park. The change was from Residential to Commercial. Concern was expressed by adjacent land owners as to the bearing on the adjoining properties and land values and tax Increases which have already escalated. A request was made by Mr. and Mrs. AI Tartlow for access to their property on 7th Street. This street south of the highway has never been hazard, due to overcrowding. Another serious problem that will be overcome by the new facility, was ventilation and the inability to clear the wood dust from the air. Storage areas were almost non-existent. officially vacated but since it has not been in use structures have accumulated and some city work will be required to give access to the property. The recorder was Instructed to write a letter to those affected to remove their fences and materials. A request from the Fire Department was presented by councilman Cooley that fully 'automatic controls be investi gated to be installed on the city pumps. At present, it Is necessary for someone to adjust them several times daily, according to the amount of water used. Contractors will be contacted on this. Mayor Chester Wilson re ported that excessive sprink ling Is being done and care should be exercised to con arrve during the hot summer months. Sprinkling should be done during the morning or early evening for moat efficiency. v: -i While trying to repair the vertical pulley with the combine motor run ning, Don Evan's left hand was seriously in jured.

The second problem was that of transporting students from the high school building to the old facility near the Junior high. That resulted in additional expense and class room time loss.

However, bids submitted ex ceeded the available funds and the shop facility was not constructed.
