one sheet was used to score all
classes. This put stricter re
gulations upon the members
of the teams.
Heppner's livestock judgers
placed 28th In a field of 74
teams. In the sheep division,
Heppner was tenth high team
and seventh high in swine.
Ken Grieb was ninth high
individual in the swine divi

28th in a 42 team field.
Heppner's Future Farmers

ripping competition apart.

Irrigon mayor resigns
Ullman names
Mrs. Paul Brown
Congressman Al Ullman
announced that Mrs. Paul
Brown has agreed to head the
People for Al Ullman commi
ttee in Morrow County. Betty
Brown, a community leader,
lives in Heppner.
"I am most pleased to have
Betty Brown and good people
like her in every part of the
Second Congressional District
form the nucleus of my
committee," Ullman said.
"With their help, we will
again conduct the same kind
of high level, issue-oriented,
people-to-people campaign
that Second District voters
have come to expect."
The District-wide People for
Al Ullman Committee is
headed by Orval Thompson,
Albany attorney; Steven Yin,
Salem businessman and Rob
ert Welty, The Dalles engineer.
Mayor Chester Wilson sub
mitted his letter of resignation
to the Irrigon City Council at
the September meeting, Tues
day night. It will be effective
Dec.31.
Reasons given were person
al commitments and health
conditions. There are two
years remaining to his council
term. The position will be
filled at the November elec
tion. Three other council posi
tions will expire that have four
year terms. Declaration and
petition forms can be obtained
from Barbara Byrd, city re
corder. Among other business the
council approved signing of
agreements for L.C.D.C.' gra
nt money for city land use
planning. Agreements were
also signed between the city
and County and with Con
sultant David Moon, involved
in land use planning.
Authorized filing of appli
cations with E.P.A. for grant
funds under recent Public
Works Legislation for three
projects. These include: street
repair and improvement; de
veloping a second well in the
gravel strata, and building of
a City Hall.
The Council learned that the
anticipated fully automatic
controls for city pumps were
beyond the immediate fi
nances available.
The Council placed an im
mediate moratorium on plac
ing of mobile homes within the
city outside of mobile home
courts for an indefinite period
of time. Reason for the action
stemmed from a recently set
mobile home placed according
to state regulations but did not
meet city ordinance require
ments. The council visited the
site in a body and agreed they
could not allow mobile homes
to be placed in the city in this
manner.
The mobile home question
has long been a source of con
troversy within the city and in
the zoning process they were
allowed to locate throughout
the city.

Editorial & Viewpoint
Portland hunters go home
Their invasion should begin any time now.
You'll know 'em. They'll be wearing those pretty
fluorescent orange pants, jackets and hats. Don't be
surprised to see a dainty little yellow hanky hangin' from
their hip pockets either.
Wonder how they always get their vacation during deer
hunting season in Eastern Oregon? Aren't there any dern
deer in Portland?
It's a proven fact you can tell when the light change in
Portland on Oct. 2. You can tell by the on and off influx of
brand new campers, trailers, and four wheelers, bumping
down main street.
Sometimes you can smell 'em. There are different ways to
sniff 'em out. Sometimes they leave an emergency brake on
all the way from Portland. Every once in a while, when a
dummy tries his new jeep out on a tough Broadway hill, he'll
lock his hubs in. He'll usually forget to take 'em out before he
comes our way. . , . .
Packin brand spankin' new runes, never shot before.
they'll pile through, on their way to the hills, anticipating a
big forked horn.
Hear the CBs talkin? Hey, this here's the Portland Hunter,
we're a heading down the Heppner-Condon highway, see any
big bucks ahead? ,
About half of 'em will spend the night at the local tavs,
keeping 'em off the highways. That's good. But they usually
have a week or two.
Some of these Portland grizzlies aren't bad guys. One or
two have probably seen a real buck deer before. But there's
some that, well, last year on opening morning, a nice big rig
with a camper came pounding down the freeway.
Proud as could be were two big heads tied to the hood of the
rig. One was a spike the other a four point. Both were real
nice bulls.
So it goes. A new regulation, causing hunters to pick which
side of the Cascades they want to hunt is a dam good Idea.
Hope thry think the mulies are on that side.

A wrong impression
EDITOR:
It is possible that a wrong impression was made at the very
fine dedication ceremony at the old Fairview School site on
Saturday, Sept. II.
The record has it that the first clerk, the late M R. Morgan,
enumerated 57 scholars his first year as clerk. It was
required that all children between the ages of four years and
20 years be enumerated for the county allotment of school
funds. This did not mean that there were 57 attending school.
In our reminiscenses, Mr. Morgan and I discussed this
w hen I w as serving as clerk in the early 1910s. As I remember
it. there were 31 or 32 pupils In the school when I first started
there about 1900.
Certainly there is no one who wishes to make the
enrollment anything but factual.
The dedication of the Fairview Marker was a great success
and we are all very proud of It.
