SMITH sure Valley Commurity college will be held on the college cam pus at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 4. The two structures, a classroom administration building and a technical building along with the temporary library in the cam pus building (the remodeled golf club house) will serve as facilities for the college to initiate a full- day program as well as a late afternoon and evening program. Speaker during the ceremonies will be Robert F. Smith, state representative for Malheur and Harney counties. The public is invited to the ceremony and to the reception which will be held at the campus building following the ground breaking. The Oregon House of Representatives has commenced oc casional afternoon meetings to accommodate the heavy load of bills before it for final consideration. The third reading calendar, that is, the bills coming before the House for final passage, has normally had less than 10 bills on it, but at least one day last week it had more than 30 bills on it. ----------------------------------------- ♦ Another part of the Repub- lican Tax Reform program passed the House last week. This bill redefined the “head of household” to include indi Albert L. Bogen of Caldwell was successful bidder for the Lake Owyhee Resort buildings and personal equipment during a government auction at the site last Thursday morning. The price paid was $42,100. The sale was conducted by U. S. Marshal Eugene Hulett of the Eastern Oregon district to satisfy an unpaid judgment of $65,103 due the Small Business adminis tration. Only one other bidder, Dave Stoner of Ontario, showed an in terest in the property and the sale only lasted a few minutes. Of the $42,100 total the real estate brought $35,000 and the personal property, including equipment, $7,100. Ken McArthur, SBA attorney, said the corporation had the right of redemption for one year on the real estate since its 39-year lease had not expired. Guarantors of the loan must make up the $23,000 difference between the $65,000 and the selling price of $42,100. Bogen, a retired cattleman and stockman, said he planned to re open the facility under hired management in time for the com ing fishing and tourist season.

It would permit them to benefit from the lower rates available to married persons who file joint income tax returns. One of the major bills consider ed early this week was the “full crew” law. Oregon’s full - crew law, adopted in 1913, provides that freight trains of more than 40 cars, operating more than 15 miles out of a freight yard, must have a six-man crew. Commissioner io Regulate The bill, adopted by the Ore gon House by a vote of 33 - 27, would repeal the controversial full-crew statutes on July 1, 1966. The measure also calls for the state public utility commissioner to prepare regulations on proper manning of freight trains to in sure safety. The commissioner is directed to have the rules ready by Jan. 1, 1966. Proponents of the bill pointed out that conditions in the railroad industry have changed signifi cantly in the 52 years since the adoption of this law. They noted that trains are now operating by diesel and that all trains are equipped with automatic air brakes. The automatic air brakes have eliminated the necessity of going from car to car and manually set ting the brakes. Proponents also noted the results of two presiden tial study commissions which sup ported repeal of the full - crew law. Only four other states still have a law similar to Oregon’s. Convention Bill Defeated Another measure that received lengthy floor debate would have changed the method of selection of Oregon’s delegates to national party conventions and the nation al committeeman and committee woman. The bill, defeated on the House floor by a vote of 33-27, would also have made each state legislator a member of their re spective party’s state central com mittee.
