TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO An attorney general's opin ion given this morning elimi nated the need for voting for one county office which it had been though! would have to be filled this year, State Attorney General Robert Y. Thorntom advised District Attorney Bradley Fancher that regard less of when a county clerk is elected, it Is for a full, four-year term. It had been though that Morrow County Clerk Bruce Lindsay had been elected for just two years to fill out the unexpired term of the late Charles Barlow, and that voters would have to chose again this y.-ur for a full term. The ruli.ig, however, gives Lindsay another two years in office. A two-and-one-half month's series of weekly nurses aide training classes will be con ducted at Pioneer Memorial BMCC board votes not to renew probationary employees for 1981-82 BMCC President Ronald Daniels was the bearer of unpleasant news at the col lege's regular board meeting Wednesday evening. Within his presidential . report he informed the board of antici pated reductions in state and federal funding levels. The impact to the college could well mean a reduction in revenue sources amounting to as mach as f 116,660 to $200,000. Because of the possiblitiy of that shortfall the board, on the advice of the college's legal counsel, voted not to renew contracts for probationary employees for the 1UBI-H2 year. When the college has received voter approval of its operating levy and has firmer figures regarding the reduced stale and federal funds, the board will consider rehiring the probationary employees, according to a BMCC news release. On a more positive note the board was informed of the cooperative efforts of Eastern Oregon State College and BMCC in Morrow and Umatil la counties. EXJSC's President Rodney Briggs presented an overview of the EOSC out reach programs and regional research projects. He espec ially noted the cooperation they have received from the BMCC administration in their efforts in off-campus activ ities. In other action the board: -was reminded that an all college open house will occur on Sunday, April 12. beginning at 1 p.m. -gave final approval of a contract with Barber-Coleman Company in the amount of $77,895 for installation of an Water outlook not quite so bad as '77 Most precipitation measure ment stations in Oregon are recording all time lows. Ac cording to the Water Resour ces Department, however, Oregon's water supply is much better this year than it was in the drought year of 1977. Not only is the present snowpack measurement equal to Oregon's total snowpack of 1977, but estimated future season strcamflows for repre sentative Oregon streams are up 31 percent to 45 percent over 1977. Water supplies for most Oregon water users dependent on stored water will be adequate, although some re servoirs will not fill complete ly because of expected low streamflow this spring and summer. Below-normal streamflow forecasts are not generally as poor as during the severe shortage in 1977 due, in port, Hospital starting this week, it is announced by Jack Angel, hospital administrator. The classes will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings" and anyone Interested Is urgeqf to take the training course Registered nurses will con duel the classes and there wilif be no charge.

A very dangerous situation ex ists in the volume of snow banked in the mountains and if cool weather conditions hold this snow until early June, or until there Is a sudden warm period. "the result may be a much greater flood than that of 194H. Most of the city of Boardman could easily be caught in a destructive lake of water.

According to the Feb ruary 1 report, "Water Supply Outlook for Oregon," issued by the Soil Conservation Service and Water Resources Department, Oregon stream flows are expected to be 58 percent to 80 percent of their 15 year average as compared to the 13 percent to 49 percent forecasted in February of 1977. Regionally, the Columbia Basin's heavy precipitation in December provided above average storage in the Upper Columbia reservoirs for power generation and other uses. The flow of the Lower,, Columbia River at The Da lies, , is forecast for 78 percent of, normal for the year, eompar-, ed to 57 percent in February 1977.
