40 YEARS AGO
°UT OF
1_______ THE PAST
10 YEARS AGO
One of the functions of the
superIntendency is to advise
the school board and the com
munity of various things that
need to be done to keep our
schools abreast of the edu
cational practices as they de
velop throughout the country.
At the time of the big in
crease in elementary pupils,
when the so called "war babies”
enrolled, we had to meet this
increase by the construction of
the new elementary building.
Now they are beginning to
cause overcrowding in the high
school. We have converted the
storage rooms under the bal
conies into satisfactory class
rooms. The little theater has
been used the ;«st two years
tor a classroom.
The agricultural department
consists of a large classroom
and shop. The amount of space
for
wurk is about one-
third as large as it should be.
A. this time one small class
room serves the biology depart
ment.
Experiments must be
conducted on the window sills.
The school board Monday
evening studied plans for re
modeling the present vocational
agriculture classroom and shop
into a biology classroom, labo
ratory and other facilities. The
board adopted tentative plans
for a new vocational agricul
ture building to be located north
of the bus garage on the school
campus.
Ventilation in the existing
classrooms is unsatisfactory.

50 YEARS AGO
Fire, originating from an un
known cause, destroyed the
stamp mill at the famous Rain
bow mine in Mormon Basin in
the northern part of Malheur
County last Saturday night and
caused a loss of $10,000 to
the owners of the property.
The Rainbow mine is the big
gest and most productive of the
old mines in the famous gold
district of Malheur County in
the early days. A resident of
Malheur City stated several
months ago that this mine pro
duced $50,000 a month in gold
for 18 years.
Frank Yeoman and L. P.
Peterson of Vale, who have been
working at the mine for some
time, are in town this week
with the story of the fire.
Theme of
1973 Fair
Meeting in regular session,
the Malheur County Fair Board
discussed a number of plans
for the 1973 AnnualCountyFair.
Gordon Capps, Chairman,
said that while entertainm-nt
plans have not been completed
they promise to provide a pro
gram of equal interest to that
of last year.
Several minor changes will
need to be made m the grand
stand area to accommodate the
spectators and provide for more
enjoyable listening and view
ing.
Capps stated that a general
theme of "Transportation” has
been selected and that the theme
motto
will be '‘Malheur’s
Win . I- of Progress.”
This
theme will emphasize the role
of transportation in the develop
ment of Malheur County. From
the wagon and freight trains,
to the modern day means cf
transport,
crops and live
stock from this extremely fer
tile area have been shipped to
markets all over the world.
He said it is hoped that an early
announcement of the theme will
encourage the various organi
zations and clubs to plan ex
hibits with this in mind.
Additional plantings will be
made this spring on the gounds,
and Capps said that while it
may be several years before
there is much shade this is
a beginning to make the gounds
more attractive as well as com
fortable. This work will be done
under the direction of Pete De
Boer and a class in horticul
ture
and landscaping from
Treasure Valley Community
College. Capps observed that
volunteer assistance of this kind
is much appreciated by the
Board.
He also commented
that
among improvem nts on the
grounds this winter are heating
units in the Mam Exhibit Hall
and Girvin Hall, and an addi
tional room on the caretaker’s
house.
