Last year, 460 run ners and walkers participated in the event. This year the committee, led by Liz Curtis, is expecting a large turnout and encourages everyone to either walk or run for health and enjoyment. The run is only four weeks away and if you haven't star ted training, now ir. the time to begin, the committee says. Al Beck, a Jr. High teacher who has competed in many runt including the Boston Mara thon, has some advice to help participants reach their goals for the run and avoid some possible problems. If you haven't been running or walking, see a doctor to get a physical, especially if you're over 40. Also, check your physical condition by taking a walk (a good, fast walk). Immediately after walking, check your pulse rate.

The procedure may seem unusual, but it is an example of the way school districts seek greater invol vement of lay citizens in pro viding assistance to vocatio nal programs, reports the Morrow Co. School District office. Royer supervises a coopera tive work experience program serving lone, Heppner and Lexington students at lone and Heppner High Schools. He iiennetl and Bennett Hou sing offers to arrange for comfortable accommodations in selected homes and condo miniums, offering a wide va riety of rates and locations. The material they sent in cludes a good map of the area and a chart showing where each of the 24 major competi tions will be held. Anyone interested in this information should talk with Harley Sager, the chamber president, at the Heppner Branch of First Interstate Bank. he, along with Rietmann's Hardware, Holtz Apartments and the laundry for a trailer court, all located in the prob lem area, had received bills for application permits to im prove the system from the Department of Environmental Quality. The combined total of the bills was 1520 to $540, Starr said. Bill Rietmann that the people contacted by D.E.Q. meet with County Planner Deane Seeger to find out if grant money is available to finance a common drain field for the properties. A common drain field would require an easement from the city. No action was taken by the coun cil but the matter will be continued, Starr said. A mem ber of the group of property owners involved is to keep the council informed, she concluded. minus your age (example: no higher than 175 for a 45-year old). Also you should not be huffing and puffing. Each participant should decide what his-her goal is and prepare for it. If your goal is to run the entire distance, 3.1 miles, you should be able to run one-half of that distance comfortably without panting or wanting to collapse on the couch afterwards. If you are already running-walking and your goal is to finish the run at your own pace, you should have no problem. If you are interested in the 6.2 mile run and are not already running frequently, Beck advises not to attempt it. If you want to run the entire distance, increase your mile age so you are running at least two miles per day. Beck stresses that your collapse point is approximately three times your average miles per day. If your goal is to run faster, you need to practice running works with businesses in the area to place high school students in job training posi tions with private businesses. Twelve students are currently involved in the Heppner-Ione area. A similar program operates in the Boardman-Irrigon area under the supervision of Mike Wetherell, and involves 23 students. Morrow County schools also have vocational programs in industrial arts, business edu cation, home economics and vocational agriculture.

This can be done by running laps at a track at the pace you want. If you want to run an eight-mile pace, prac tice running one lap in less than two minutes. Whatever distance you choose, train properly to be in condition and feel good afterwards. Some final advice on avoi ding discomfort during the run. Beck suggests that before the run, sprinkle powder in your shoe and rub petroleum jelly on your toes to avoid blisters. Be sure to have warm, dry clothing at the finish line. After the run, try to avoid immediately lying down. If you can, keep moving and do some light stretching.
