Application forms are being
sent to all homes with a letter
to parents or guardians. To
apply for free or reduced price
meals, households should fill
out the application and return
it to the school. Additional
copies are available at the
principal's office in each
school. The information pro
vided on the application will
be used for the purpose of
determining eligibility and
may be verified at any time
during the school year by
school or other program offi
cials. For the school officials to
determine eligibility, the
household must provide the
following information listed on
the application: names of all
household members; social
security numbers of all adult
household members or a
statement that the household
member does not possess one;
total household income; and

household income of over $50
per month or $600 per year and
decreases in household size.
Applications may be sub
mitted at any time during the
year.
Under the provisions of the
free and reduced price policy,
building principals will review
the applications and deter
mine eligibility. If a parent or
guardian is dissatisfied with
the ruling of the principal, he
may wish to discuss the deci
sion at the school on an
informal basis. If the parent
wishes to make a formal
appeal, he may make a re
quest either orally or in
writing to M.P. Doherty, Su
perintendent. M.C.S.D., Box
368. Lexington. Oregon 97836;
'phone 989-8202 , for a hearing
to appeal the decision. The
policy contains an outline of
the hearing procedure.
If a household member be
comes unemployed or if the
household size changes, the
family should contact the
school. Such changes may
make the children of the
hoi!ehold eligible for reduced
price meals, or for additinal
benefits such as free meals if
the family income falls at or
below levels shown above.
In certain cases foster
children are also eligible for
these benefits. If a household

This fall three Oregon Chau
tauqua '83 programs are
scheduled for Morrow County
under the Oregon Committee
for the Humanities. Some per
sons are not familiar with the
concept of Chautauqua. Others
here recall how delightful the
yearly offerings were when
each summer these programs
were arranged under a big
tent on Heppner's lower Main
Street. They recall there was a
wide variety of programs in
cluding plays, lectures, comic
performances, demonstra
tions by special artists and
other family-type amuse
ments. Delia Scrivner says "We
just loved to come to those
programs. When my boys
were little we all came in to
the tent shows and the boys
and other children sat in the
front rows." Irene Anhorn
remembers seeing these pro
grams as a child. She says the
tent was on a corner where
carnivals also setup business
at other times. Jane Rawlins
was very young when she
attended a chautauqua per
formance of a fasicnating play
with her family.
Chautauqua is a system of
summer school and corres
pondence school education
founded at Chautauqua Lake,
N Y. The term also refers to
traveling groups, called Tent
Chautauquas. The first as
sembly was held at Chautau
qua lake in August 1874 and
ws conceived by the Rev
John H. Vincent, a Methodist
clergyman.
The programs which came
regularly to Heppner were
part of the Tent Chautauqua,
traveling groups that operated
in the United States from 1903
until 1930. They moved from
town to town giving a program
of lectures, concerts and plays
in a large tent. These travel
ing Rroups brought shows of
mixed quality to the people of

vision. Since 19H0. the chautauqua
has been revived and presen
ted annually hy the Oregon
Committee for the Humanities
in cooperation with local
sponsors. Chautauqua acts -illustrated
lectures, music,
and drama will show that
"Learning can be fun," said

"The original chautauquas
were a blend of intellectual
stimulation, views of other
cultures and vaudeville." This
flavor has been retained In the
current offerings.
This year's presentations
will focus on the use of masks
around the world; the His
panic influence in Oregon ; the
fool as social critic and hea
