PROPOSAL
Shall the Board of Directors of Morrow County School District No. 1,
Morrow County, Oregon, be authorized to levy for the fiscal year
1977-78, the sum of $1,711,803 outside the limitation set forth in
Section II, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution.
Without the approval of the voters, the school board has authority
to levy only the tax base of the district, which is $494,126. This
sum, together with available non tax revenues, is not adequate to
meet the operating needs of the schools.
Because the tax base is inadequate, it is necessary to submit to
the voters, on an annual basis, a tax levy request in excess of the
tax base. The tax base would not be sufficient to operate the
schools for a full school year.
If approved, the operating budget to be financed by local taxer for
the year 1977-78 will be $318, 7?3 qreater than for the preceding year.
Reasons for increasing the levy are: Increases in salaries, fixed
costs', employee benefits, costs of textbooks and supplies, costs of
services and materials, costs for increased student enrollment and
of equalizing the educational opportunity in tho district.
The Kennedy restoration
has been described by many
journalists and is included in a
book and a film. Mrs. Kennedy
showed their delightful an
tiques, told how and where
they were acquired, demon
strated how they had been
skillfully adapted to practical
use, and answered many
questions.
A few of the more appealing
adaptations abounding in this
fascinating home are the use
of the old depot counter in the
central office, the use of a
trundle-bed as a double-sided,
swinging sofa in the family
room-dining area, the use of
several old, cast-iron-legged,
mittee.
Polling places will be:

Riverside High School.

Rhea Creek Stop
From Boardman, the ladies
drove to lower Rhea Creek to
the old Mason-Pettyjohn
Ranch, now the home of the
Mark Murrays. Mrs. Murray
showed the women through
the large, old barn building
which has become a spacious,
colorful, practical and unique
home.
This home's large living
areas, carpeted with orange
tones and its unusual, large
loft space which is used as a
studio and children's play
area, are so special. The
Murrays have continued to
use the original barn doors at
three corners of their home.
Their large central fireplace
has an unusual mantel. Old
boards and timbers have been
used in parts of their high,
beamed, slanted ceilings.
Much of the house is furnished
with especially selected heavy
pine furniture.
One feature that drew
special interest was Mark's
rustic, wood-walled shower.
Like the Kennedys', the Mur
rays' kitchen features a chop
ping block table.
At Piper Canyon
The third stop was in Piper
Canyon, south and east of
Lexington, at the restored
Rufus Piper ranch home of
Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Doherty.
Mrs. Doherty explained that
they love old things, especially
family and local antiques, but
she opted for an all new
kitchen, which is big, golden
and so practical.
Off the kitchen with its
serving-bar counter are a
small laundry room and
Anne's B.M.C.C. office, and an
attractive dining area which
can have extra heating from
the family-antique Franklin
stove in its brick-walled cor
ner. The Doherty living room
features a large bay window
and is connected to the
spacious, fireplace-centered
den by sliding French doors.

stairs bath and extra shaving
closet are unique. The up
stairs includes a large cedar
paneled, high-ceilinged hall
and three spacious, large
closeted bedrooms. Each bed
room has a window-lighted
loft above it. Daughter Lisa
has the east room, son Ben the
south room, and the master
bedroom to the west opens to a
balcony-porch on its south
side.
This home has several first
floor porches. Its exterior is
painted Wedgewood blue with
white trimming. Like the
Murrays' home, the Doherty
home has an attached root
cellar.
After lunching there and
holding their April meeting,
the ladies drove to Heppner to
view two new homes.
Heppner Tour
The Allen Nistads were
generous in letting the group
go through their home in their
absence. The A.A.U.W. Presi
dent, Linda Johnson, led this
tour and read from notes that
Mrs. Nistad had given her
about the materials and fea
tures incorporated into this
-.large "almost all wood" home
in a fine view position on
Heppner's east hill.
It was explained that the
architect planned to leave the
great views from three sides
completely open and thus ar
ranged the kitchen without
any high cupboards but with a
great deal of convenient,
undercounter storage.
The ladies admired the
central utility room, the large
dining areas and the two family-living
room areas. The
fireplace-centered larger liv
ing room in the southwest side
and the smaller living area to

This three-bedroom home
includes an office, a spacious
entrance and central hall and
beautiful baths and dressing
room closets. The opaque
doors opening off the hallway
are different and very prac
tical. The darker ceilings and
the colorful, appropriate fur
nishings and the unusual
decorative accessories were
much admired.
The touring group's final
stop was at the new. stone
trimmed ranch-style home of
Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Gardner,
which sits against the south
hill near the Three Mile corner
east of Heppner. It was built
by a local builder, John Wood.
Mrs. Gardner let the visitors
into the home through the
patio doors which join the
living room to a large, pro
tected, cement patio at the
back of the house. Near the
doors, there is a pass-through
from the kitchen counter
which, she explained, is such a
convenience for this couple
that enjoys dining outside so
much.
The living room has a
beautiful fireplace on its west
wall which is backed by a
fireplace in the less formal
family room that joins the
kitchen and dining space. The
Gardners have selected an
especially attractive daven
port for their living room,
which drew much pra;se. The
furniture in the comfortable,
north-windowed family area is
leather covered. Off the
kitchen-family area, a hall
way leads to the over-size
double garage and includes
storage space for their freezer
and other household items.

Mrs. Gardner says she is very
happy with her kitchen cup
board arrangement and with
the appliances they chose.
To the east of the central
living room are three light,
large bedrooms, joined by a
nice, wide hallway. Off the
master bedroom, the bath
dressing room suite contains a
stacked washer and dryer.
The home's second bathroom
backs the master bath and
serves the two guest bedrooms
toward the back of the house.
The Gardners love earth

greens and orange throughout
their rooms. Although their

will undoubtedly use the patio
entrance the most, as it is
most convenient to their car
parking space.
This country home, like the
other four homes included on
the Saturday tour, offers a fine
vista of Morrow's landscape.
These fine homes definitely
show some wise choices in
arrangements and building
techniques, or rebuilding
techniques, and in tasteful
decoration. They should give
the whole of Morrow County a
reputation as a place where
people love attractive homes.
