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.

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,

Heppner Mayor Mrs. Marjf
Stevens has proclaimed April
as Cancer Crusade month and
urges residents to send in

quota for the sixth consecutive"
year. f
Joe Tatone, Boardmaft
mayor, urges residents to
keep in mind and prepare for a!
potential flood condition, posj
sibly in the month of June. 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

Department, Oregon stream

forecasted in February of
