Speaking to the Lions Club Tuesday, Kennison said the $4.5-million facility will be one of the most modern in the world and in some respects, the only one of its kind in the world. The new mill will be able to process logs ranging in size from 4-5 inches to 5 feet in diameter. High automated with computerization the sawmill will n HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT RCA RODEO? The Wranglers Riding Club urges your consideration of a petition to reinstate RCA RODEO in Morrow County. The Petitions are available at your local business houses and will be presented to the Fair Board next Monday evening, a meeting you are encouraged to attend, at the West of Willow Restaurant, 7:30 p.m. enable Kinzua to obtain virtually full utilization of all logs, including the vast amount of timber suffering from recent bug kill. Kennison, who designed the mill and many of the new features himself, said an ad ditional 16 employees will be needed for two shifts when the facility goes on the line in June of next year. He said persons interested in taking a tour of Kinzua's operations here only need call the office for an appoin tment and someone will take them around, either in dividually or in groups. CBEC notes useage jump Despite the conservation and cut back efforts of Columbia Basin Electric Co op residential members, in creased large commercial and irrigation useage coupled with new homes and remodeled businesses have pushed the useage level in the five-county co-op area to a record high. For the first ten months of 1977, energy use by CBEC members totaled 106,470,261 kilowatt hours. This compared to 93,362,855 kwhs for the first ten months of 1976 an in crease of 14 per cent. As compared to the 1974 level, the local utility usage has increased 48.2 per cent in the past three-year period. Fortunately for the CBEC membership, the line facilities are not designed for a very minimum annual growth. New equipment has been added without brown outs and with out damage due to low voltage conditions or poor capacity conditions. Also, the CBEC manage ment and Board has secured long term contracts with the WPPSS nuclear projects to meet some of the future needed use of the membership.

Building cost estimates were $1,689,850 for an elemen tary school in Boardman with 20 classrooms and a 500 student capacity; $1,714,100 in Irrigon with 15 classrooms and a 350 student capacity; $441,000 for a Riverside shop; and $320,000 for a multipur pose room at A.C. Houghton. Before making a decision on the construction issue, the problem of equalizing facility use between lone and Heppner elementary and grade schools was discussed. Don Cole, principal of Hepp ner Grade School presented information on alternative ways to decide what students in the Lexington area in grades K-7 attending school in Heppner could be channeled to uncrowded facilities in lone with out splitting families with students at Heppner High. Jim Bier, principal of Hepp ner High School reported on the feasibility of moving grades 7 and 8 to the high school to relieve crowding in the elementary and junior high levels. Junior high and high school students share facilities at Riverside, and the committee informally deci ded, partly based on the Riverside situation, that the move would create more problems than it would solve.
