students listed in the high
school annual, 78 of them or
48 per centare suspected to
be regular
smokers.
Principal John Bier said
perhaps the school's drug use
rules "need taking another
look at."
Jerry Samples commented
that marijuana use is "a
community-wide problem...
The whole community ought
to have a 'get tough' attitude."
Teacher Jane Rawlins stated
that a number of parents
supply liquor and marijuana
to their children. "They don't
care as long as they (their
children) don't get caught,"
she said. Samples also noted
that many parents apparently
condone alcohol use by stu
dents, stating that he had even
been asked to help sponsor a
"senior kegger."
Steve Peck suggested that
the school district implement
a "strong drug education
program."
Rita Hedman suggested that
students who do not use drugs
"use peer pressure to get the
kids off pot." Mrs. Rawlins
noted that an increase in drug
use discipline was not likely to
come about until students
referred those using drugs to
teachers.
Bier stated that it is "hard
to detect who is using it
(marijuana)," and noted that
school officials are hamstrung
from making a thorough
investigation of suspected
drug users, due to students'
Constitutional rights. "We
need to show probable cause
in order to search a student's
personal property," he said.

Results listed for Concerned
Parents discipline survey
A questionnaire survey con
ducted by the Concerned
Parents at Thursday's public
meeting on school discipline
revealed a number of citizen
attitudes on drug usage,
student discipline, attendance
problems, and other related
areas of behavior.
Marijuana (81 per cent),
tobacco (70 per cent), and
amphetamines (49 per cent)
were viewed by respondents
as "significant" problems in
Heppner. Roughly one third of
those questioned felt that
other dugs such as cocaine,
heroin, LSD and prescription
drugs were also significant
problems. The great majority
felt that these drugs
including marijuana, alcohol
and tobacco were physically
harmful to the body.
Even 1 hough most (74 per
cent) respondents admittedly
could not recognize illegal
drugs on sigh, sixty-four per
cent believed that at least half
of all teenagers in the Heppner
area regularly smoked mari
juana ; one third of the persons
surveyed believed that
seventy per cent or more of
local youth regularly smoked
the drug.
Most (64 per cent) felt that
they were inadequately in
formed about the different
drugs available to Heppner
youngsters. Forty-two per
cent stated that they were not
aware of the penalties for drug
abuse outlined in the school
district Behavior Code Policy,
in contrast to the 79 per cent
who felt they were familiar
with the penalties outlined in
the Heppner Elementary
School Behavior Code. How
ever, only 25 per cent felt
these policies were being
effectively enforced.
The most commonly sug
gested improvement was to
have stricter policies on drug
abuse at home, in the school,
or in public. A move toward
more consistent enforcement
was the second most common
recommendation. Most people
expressed a desire to partici
pate in a future drug educa
tion workshop.
In the area of discipline, a
majority responded that they
had read the Morrow County
School District Discipline
Policy, and most had read the
Heppner Elementary and
Junior High Discipline Policy,
while only one in four were
familiar with the Heppner
High School Discipline Policy.
Approximately three
fourths of the respondents
estimated that they discussed
their child's day at school
"frequently", and over half
claimed to have helped their
children with homework and
hobbies "frequently" or
"always." Two out of five
visited child's classes
"seldom" or "never."
Parents felt that their child
ren spent a median of 1.8
hours per week on extra
curricular school activities.
Three fourths were of the
opinion that students failing in
one or more subjects should be
dropped from an athletic team
until the grades improved,
while one in seven maintained
that the students should be
allowed to practice but not
actually
games.

On Wednesday, Jan. 24,
First Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Pendleton
officially changed its name to
Western Heritage Savings.
The new name, Western
Heritage, will more clearly
identify the association as the
major financial institution of
Northeastern Oregon and
avoid much of the name
confusion experienced with
the many other savings and
loan associations named First
Federal.
The roots of First Federal of
Pendleton go back 44 years to
its founding in 1934. In 1937 the
association merged with the
Oregon Building and Loan
Association, which held a loan
portfolio dating back to its
beginning in 1888. The Oregon
Building and Loan Association
was the first savings and loan
association in the state of
Oregon.
At the beginning of 1979
First Federal had just crossed
the $100 million mark in terms
of total assest size. Associa
tion President, Robert W.
Reese, also reported that for
each new dollar of savings
received in 1978 over six
dollars worth of loans were
made. In Heppner and Board
man during 1978 a net increase
of $568,000 in new savings
deposits was used to produce
over $2.3 million in local
housing and commercial con
struction loans.
Presently on display in the
Heppner office of Western
Heritage Savings is a pre
sentation of First Federal's
own 44 years of Northeastern
Oregon heritage. Such things
will be shown as pre-World
War II advertisements for 2
per cent interest on savings
accounts, insurance of ac
counts advertisements for
$5,000 and World War II war
bond ads. Also shown are two
pieces of early 1900 office
equipment.

parent stated
that they have removed their
children from school on oc
casion for shopping, travel,
appointments, or other non
illness reasons. Half of the
parents felt they should be
contacted every time a stu
dent was found to be absent
from school, and roughly one
third wished to be contacted
only if the absences occured
frequently.
The median age of the
respondents was 36 years.
The survey was in part
conducted in an effort to
determine areas of concern to
local citizens for the purpose
of planning future meetings.
The survey results were
based on 84 returns. It was not
known if the survey was
representative of Heppner
parents as a whole.
