Oct 13. 7 9 p m . the same day as the Heppner celebration of the Morrow County Centennial A delegation headed by LaK ae Kindle, chairman of the com mittee planning the centennial was at the Merchants meeting last Friday. Sept 7. asked the merchants for support of the event Merchants decider) that their display windows could be used for old items and that "centen nial" dress would be a nice addition for the businesses that day Chamber of Com m erce president Harley Sager asked the merchants if they could submit a budget of their expected expenditures to the Cham ber The reason for the Chamber's request Sager said, is that they 1 have donated tl.HU> to the Mereh ants to help fund their projects and. until they receive the bill, they have no indication of how the money is being spent After discussion about the difficulty of predicting some of the merchants expenditures, mer chants concluded that perhaps a tentative budgrt could be prepared “ We want to do everything we can to work together with the Chamber of Commerce because they are offer ing us Si,Hu> that we didn’t have b efore," said one merchant “ Weiome Hunter” signs will be available for merchants to display again this year during the coming hunting seasons, concluded m er chants president Charles Hutchin son Although. Hayes says the Dept of Kish and Wildlife would probably trade the promised parcel of land for another parcel the originally pro posed site would not, at times, be adjacent to the water level of the lake because of the fluctuation in pool height A priority of H E D C and an advantage to the site adjacent to the dam is a proper designated swimm ing area concluded Hayes Enrollment up Enrollment in Morrow County schools is 1776 students, up four percent over the 1983 enrollment of 1707 at the close of the first week of school said a spokesperson for the school district Enrollment at Heppner Elemen tary has increased by five to 375.
