director and past president;
William Kuhn, director 2-year
term; Frank Pearson, direc
tor two-year term; Dick Sar
gent, director one-year term;
and Kent Goodyear, director
one-year term.
Don Cole, outgoing presi
dent, gave a report on club
activity of the past year.
Cole noted in his report that
Dave Harrison has served as
club secretary since the club
was organized in March of
1974.
Cole went on to highlight
projects completed this past
year. The major project has
been development of the
Heppner High School track.
More than 1,000 truck loads of
fill have been hauled to the
project. Five different dozers
were used, along with a dirt
scraper and several opera
tional days for a large shovel
and a grader.
Cole said an estimated
$20,000 in community dona
tions have gone into the effort.
Other club projects include
the Santa Calling project;
Heppner Invitational Golf
Tourney, sponsorship of a
carnival, ticket sales at the
Junior Rodeo, concession
stand at Morrow County Fair
and Junior Rodeo, and others.
Neil Parks was Master of
Ceremonies for Charter Night.
Nine Lions' members re
corded perfect attendance
during the past year. They
were recognized along with a
number of persons who con
tributed much of the equip
ment to the Lions' Club Track
Project.
Morrow employment is up
Employment in Morrow
County increased during
March, the Oregon State
Employment Division reports.
An increase in employment
of 80 in Morrow County
' dropped the unemployment
rate to 5.8 per cent in March,
down from 6.0 per cent in
February and 6.2 per cent in
March 1976. The continued
improving employment pic
ture stems from major gains
in contract construction.
Several substantial snow
storms in March brought the
region's snow pack up to about
50 per cent normal. However,
the long-range agricultural
outlook is still grim unless far
above normal spring precipi
tations materialize during the
upcoming months. Insuffic
ient soil moisture in the
Umatilla-Morrow County area
increases the potential for
severe soil wind erosion,
especially during the spring
period.
March agricultural activi
ties were generally tied to
early spring field preparation.
As a result, agricultural
related employment showed
important gains in both Uma
tilla and Morrow Counties.
Little change occurred in
lumber and wood products in
March, but in April, tradi
tional "spring breakup" re
lated layoffs should bring
significant employment de
clines. Overall, food proces
sing in the two-county area
registered a moderate em
ployment loss. After several
months of significant em
ployment increases at the
Gourmet French Fry plant in
Boardman, a shift adjustment
produced an employment loss
which offset a slight gain
which occurred in Umatilla
County. These losses should be
recouped during the April
period.
Construction employment in
both counties scored large
gains in March. But, as usual,
the PGE coal-fired plant con
struction project accounted
for the bulk of the increase.
Currently, over 400 construc
tion workers are on the site,
with nearly 800 expected by
this time next year.
In Morrow County, some
declines in wholesale potato
packing offset some retail
increases. April wholesale
employment should rise sig
nificantly as asparagus pro
cessing gets underway.
Current and upcoming non
agricultural development ac
tivities which could affect
future employment opportuni
ties in the area include:
The Environmental Protec
tion Agency (EPA) has ap
proved a $1,415,000 grant for
an interceptor sewer system
in Boardman. The new system
will provide Boardman a
sewer capacity for a popu
lation of more than 4,000
people. The City is currently
completing work on a $1.5
million water collection sys
tem. Drought conditions are forc
ing eastern Oregon cattlemen
to sell their herds and on-the-hoof
price could drop from
23-24 cents per pound to 18
cents by the end of the year.
Hay at $100 a ton could be
considered cheap by the end of
the year, and ranchers cannot
afford to feed at that level.
Irrigon increases
water storage
Workmen with Sturdy-Weld
of Kennewick, Wash., are
working on the present Irrigon
water tank to add eight addi
tional feet to the height of the
tank. This will provide 130,000
gallons additional water stor
age to the present 200,000
gallon storage capacity.
Sturdy-Weld Construction
Co. are subcontractors to
Sharpe and Preszler Company
of Kennewick, who are laying
water lines and expanding the
present water system.
Irrigon's water improve
ments are being financed by a
$116,400 grant from the U.S.
Dept. of Commerce Econom
ic Development Administra
tion. A large sign was erected
on the property this week
stating "New Jobs for Your
Community."
Warren McCoy, Senior Vice
Commander of the Veterans'
Administration in Oregon, has
returned from Washington,
D.C., where he met and talked
with senators and Congress
men concerning bills to be
passed, both state and na
tional, that would affect the
veterans.
He also attended a banquet
with senators and Congress
men and made a tour of the
White House and Lincoln
Memorial.
McCoy visited the head
quarters of the veterans'
organization at Kansas City,
Mo.
Mrs. Robert (Sherry)
Schmoll attended a confer
ence of the leaders of the
Women Aglow organization.
This is a non-denominational
group of Christian women, of
which Sherry Schmoll was
recently elected vice presi
dent of this area.
The speaker at the con
ference was Judy Knox. They
gathered at the Seventh Moun
tain, near Bend.
