LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dear Oregonians:
Thank you for your interest
in helping balance the state
budget .
Since my call for a special
legislative session, I have
received over 3.000 letters
from Oregon citizens express
ing their feelings about my
proposed state budget.
Whether highly critical or
very supportive, most of the
letters offered constructive
suggestions.
I would like to respond to
each letter individually, but
because of the large number
of letters received. I find that
time and dollars are too short.
Therefore. I have chosen, with
your understanding, to res
pond through this and other
Oregon newspapers.
As you probably know by
now, I have proposed to the
Oregon Legislature a plan to
balance the state's budget
primarilv with budget cuts
Obituaries
Milton Boyce
CONDON Milton Boyce,
86, Heppner, died Saturday,
January 16, 1982 at Pioneer
Memorial Hospital in Hep
pner. Graveside funeral ser
vices were held at the Condon
Cemetery on Wednesday,
January 20.
Mr. Boyce was born October
14. 1895 at Shelby, N.Y.. the
son of Isaac and Laura Boyce.
He came to Oregon in 1902,
settling in the Winlock and
Olex areas. He served in
World War I with the military
police at the Presidio in San
Francisco and in New York
City. He returned to Gilliam
County where he worked for a
time as a Condon city police
man. He later went to work for
the Gilliam County Road
Department, where he was
employed for 32 years. He had
lived in Heppner for the past
two years.
He was married to Merle
High on June 4. 1967.
Survivors include his wife.
Merle, and a son, Ray. both at
Heppner: a daughter, Viola
Damron. Troutdale: step
daughters Colleen Selby of
Condon. JoAnne Wegner,
Merced, Calif., and Patty
Bush, Sun Lake. Ariz., a
stepson. Bill High, also of Sun

along with various revenue
measures. The only tax in
crease I have proposed is a
small increase in the beer and
wine tax (four cents on a
six-pack of beer; thirteen
cents on a bottle of wine). I
believe my approach to this
problem is the best one for
Oregon during a time of
economic recession. I do not
believe it is the time to cut
property tax relief to pay for
state programs.
Again, thank you for taking
the time to give me your
comments about our state
budget problems. Your ideas,
concerns and support helped
as I made my decisions
regarding these critical
issues.
Thank you for writing: your
continuing interest is appreci
ated. Sincerely,
Vic Atiyeh

Sr. Mealsite committee
thankful for support
By JUSTINE
WEATHERFORD
The Heppner Senior Meal
site Committee greatly appre
ciates the support of all the
local churches, businesses,
schools, organizations and
many individuals who have
assisted this program in so
many ways during these past
months.
The donated items, food and
money, as well as the hours of
time spend have helped great
ly in the re-establishment of
the mealsite in Heppner.
The special generosity of
Rod and Meg Murray and of
All Saints' Episcopal Church
is sincerely appreciated.
Road Report
The Morrow County Public
Works Department has re
leased the following Work
Report for the week ending
January 16:
In the Boardman - Irrigon
area, pot holes were patched
with cold mix on the following
roads: Kunze, Olson, Wilson,
No. 665, No. 816. Boardman
Irrigon, Pole Line, Pipeline,
Slaughter. Bombing Range,
Patterson Junction, No. 777
and No. 716 Brush was cut and
burned and culverts cleaned
on several roads. Snow was
removed and intersections
sanded.
Cold mix patching in the
south end of the county was
done on the following roads:
Pine City to Lena, Bombing
Range, Strawberry East and
Fuller Canyon Road.
Snow was plowed from
approximately 20 roads, and
10 Ton Load Limit signs were
put on most oiled county roads
because of frost heave prob
lems. Approximately 350 tons of
patch material was mixed
with our new pugmill. This
material was produced using
Chevron-Spec. 200 asphalt
which is one of the most
successful patching asphalts
available. The approximate
cost, produced at the site, is
$25 per ton - about $5 per ton
less than our cost of similar
patch material obtained from
Hermiston. In addition to the
savings of material costs, our
hauling costs will be drasti
cally reduced.

BMCC
enrollment
down
Winter term enrollment at
Blue Mountain Community
College shows day student
enrollment to be down slightly
from the same term last year.
Registration figures at the
end of the first week of
classes, Jan. 8, totalled 979
students. Figures from a year
ago pegged winter term en
rollment at the end of the first
week of classes at 1,003, stated
a BMCC news release.
Having 24 fewer students
registered at this time does
not seem to be a downward
trend, but instead is interpre
ted as a "stabilizing of,
enrollment" at current fig
ures, according to Truman
Baily, registrar.
Informal readings from the
Admissions Office at the
college seem to indicate that
the number of transfer stu
dents from four-year colleges
and universities seems to be
up. Students may be returning ,
to Pendleton after one term
away at college because of the
hike in tuition charged at state
institutions, Baily indicated.
About 1,185 students have
enrolled in division of contin
uing education classes offered
throughout Umatilla and Mor
row counties.
Registration for both day
and evening classes continues
at the college through much of
January, the news release
concluded.
