Work is progressing on the
new junior high school build
ing, located at 1st and Nevada
streets south of town. Cement
slab construction is being
used. The walls are up and
looking impressive, although
there is much work yet to be
done.
The area around the school
has been developed rapidly
during the past few years and
no doubt will continue to grow
with industry in the area.
The newly formed Desert
Pegasus 4-H Club of Irrigon
will hold a bake sale Oct. 12,
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the
Umatilla Key-Buy Food store.
It is to be held in conjunction
with National 4-H week.
The proceeds will be used
for the club's projects through
out the year.
The leaders for the horse
club are Sharon Timmsa and
Barbara Ma this.
There were two tragedies in
Irrigon the past week. A
woman, May Rowan, 59. was
killed instantly when her car
veered into the path of a
tractor and trailer. The reason
was not known, although her
husband said she may have
been distracted by two para
keets in a cage in the front
seat of her car. Her husband
was driving another vehicle
ahead of her.
They were moving from
Winston, Oregon, to Colorado.
A construction worker, Don
ald W. Fritz, 20, was fatally
injured, when he put his head
between two pieces of 48-inch
steel pipeline, just as the
sections were being fitted
together by heavy-duty equip
ment for Western Empire
Corp. The pipe will bring
water from the Columbia
River.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gordanier
have moved to Irrigon from
Springfield. Ore. He will assist
his father, Rev. Allen Gorda
nier, in the ministry in related
youth programs and music.
Mr. and Mrs. Art Hill of
Springfield were visitors of
the Gordaniers over the week
end. Connie, Mrs. Jim Gorda
nier, is the Hill's daughter
Morrow County
gets $32,358
from U.S.
Morrow County received a
total of $32,358 as payments in
lieu of taxes for federal lands,
Oregon Congressman Al Ull
man announced.
The federal Bureau of Land
Management (B.L.M.) sent a
check to Morrow County in
July for $15,778 which was left
over from last year. Another
$16,580 was added this week
for the total of $32,358.
The $16,580 check is about 12
percent short of what it should
be if enough funds had been
appropriated. Morrow County
will probably receive two
checks next year, one which
will make up for the 12 percent
short check given this year.
The B.L.M. gave out a total
$2,451,267 to Oregon counties.
posed one year of U.S. history,
including government, and
one year of world history,
including geography. Some
districts thought that the
instruction in these areas
given in the seventh and
eighth grades (junior high):
could be applied toward meet
ing the total requirements.
The state board, according
to a late September news
release, is considering ex
panding the social studies
requirement by one-half year
to include one year of U.S.
history, one year of global
studies and one-half year of
government.
A summer 1979 Oregon State
Historical Society News Bulle
tin carries an article concern
ing the matter of teaching
history in the secondary
schools where the society feels
it has not received adequate
attention. The article also
points out:
"Very few departments in
four-year colleges or universi
ties now require their majors
to take history courses. The
results of this widespread
institutional disinterest in the
past and this is a national
trend we are confronting
may ' ultimately prove dis
astrous for our country and
civilization."
Doherty, in an interview this
week, stated that he believes
in and respects the impor
tance of teaching history. He
is concerned with the preser
vation of local history and has
been searching through the
collection of school district
archives rather recently and
finding items of interest.
One matter he feels con
cerned about is the possible
destruction of the old school at
Irrigon, parts of which the
school system has been using
but will no longer need upon
the completion of the new
school now under construction
there.
Doherty has urged the
school board to appoint a
committee to consider the
future of this building, the
oldest standing public building
in the north county. He states
that although young people
may not feel concerned about
things past there may come
a time when their maturity
will show them that their
ancestors did some good
things and built quite well with
the means available to them.
