Federal disaster status may
mean funds for bridges
Morrow County's federal
disaster area status, granted
last week by President Carter,
has thus far not had any
immediate effects on the area,
but county officials are hope
ful that some federal funds
may be available to repair
flood damaged bridges and
roads.
The county has applied for
federal grants expected to
total in the vicinity of $300,000
for the repair of three flood
ruined bridges, according to
Judge D.O. Nelson. Morrow
County would pay only a small
fraction in matching funds to
replace the spans. Bridges to
be replaced under the federal
program are located at Willow
Creek adjacent to lone High
School, at the Valby "Y", and
in Blackhorse Canyon near the
Doherty ranch.
The bridges would be built
by an outside contractor,
freeing the county's road crew
for road repairs. Judge Nelson
indicated that the lone bridge
may be relocated at the lower
end of town to keep traffic
away from lone High School.
The move was suggested by
lone City Council.
Another grant for approxi
mately $30,000 is being sought
to help pay for repairs on
certain county roads such as
Willow Creek and Rhea Creek
roads that were constructed
in conjunction with the federal
FAS program. Some 150 miles
of county roads are eligible to
receive repairs under the
terms of the grant, though the
$30,000 would not be able to
cover the costs of repairing all
qualifying roads.
If the county succeeds in
securing the grants, much
more repair work would be
possible in the county. Nelson
noted that the $300,000 federal
grant for bridge repair ac
counts for nearly half of the
coming year's road budget.
In other county road news,
Nelson reported that Don Ball,
a veteran of more than 20
years on the county road crew,
has been named acting road
foreman, following the retire
ment of Roadmaster Harold
"Doc" Sherer.
Road repair crews are
working full swing during the
recent spell of good weather,
stretching their work sched
ules to include Saturdays. Two
additional laborers have join
ed the county's road repair
work force.
But a patch-up job is about
the best county residents can
expect for Morrow County
roads and highways this year,
Judge Nelson said. "I doubt if
even half a million dollars
would be enough to really get
the roads back in shape," he
said.
In other flood related news,
President Carter's granting of
federal disaster status to
Morrow County resulted in the
Farmers Home Administra
tion (FmHA) being authorized
to begin processing low
interest loans to farmers who
suffered losses in the Feb
ruary flooding.
In order to be eligible for an
FmHA emergency loan, one
must be unable to secure
financing from other sources.
Loan funds may be used to
finance the farmer's share of
costs, when part of the costs
come from ASCS programs.
The interest rate on loans to
finance actual losses is five
per cent.
Applications for physical
losses must be filed before
Dec. 5. Applications for pro
duction losses must be filed
prior to March 10 of next year.
Applications for loans may
be made at the Farmers Home
Administration office at 1229
SE Third in Pendleton. A
representative of FmHA will
be available to help with
claims on the first Wednesday
of each month at the ASCS
office in Heppner.

the city dump. Many people
are not tying brush down and
covering their trash which
sometimes blows or bounces
off pickups and trucks and
causes the parts of town they
drive through to look particu
larly trashy and unkept.
The committee noted that
everyone has seen careless
ness on Main Street where
persons coming out of stores
or the Post Office drop bags,
envelopes, letters, third-class
mail and other litter with no
concern for civic pride. They
stressed that this seems to be
a contradiction to what most
people like to believe that
people who live here are proud
of Heppner and want to keep it
an attractive, clean, pleasant
community.
The cleanup campaign lead
ers hope an ongoing program
of strengthening civic duty
and re-awakening strong town
pride will become a top
priority in all citizens' lives
beginning right now.
The campaign committee
and interested citizens will
meet again next Monday
evening, March 26, at 8:00
p.m. in the Parish Hall of All
Saints' Episcopal Church.
Chairman Miller can be
reached at 676-9970 during the
day or at 676-5158 evenings.

A FEW WEEK-END SPECIALS
The Western Route High
way, linking Heppner and
Ukiah through the Umatilla
National Forest, was closed
Wednesday to prevent further
damage due to springtime
thaw conditions, U.S. Forest
Service officials announced.
Barricades were set up
above Cutsforth Park and
near the Ukiah junction to bar
traffic from using the road.
The Blue Mountain snow pack
had melted enough to allow
the road to become passable
early last week. The weeklong
use of the road showed that
severe damage would result if
it were to remain open.
Forest Service officials said
they would reopen the high
way when frost leaves the
ground and the roadway has
stabilized.
