Super intendent Wl MacPartland w as given permission to hire an additional industrial arts instructor. The move res ersed the boards earlier feeling that an instructor not be hired and the building trades program be dropped for a year. 1 he decision came after junior and senior high prin cipals Dan Martin nd Gene arg Chester presented uments showing that by not filling the position left open by the resignation of Ron Oakes, it would force the elimination of more programs than just the building trades program. The entire junior high shop program and high school electronics clast also would be forced out. they said. The board also gave MacPartland permission to proceed with the purchase of band uniforms. The board, however, reacting to a sizable price increase, advised Mac Partland to check with the insurance company to dgt ermine if the additional cost of the uniforms now would also be covered.

Chairman of the Malheur County Agricul tural Stabilization and Con venation Committee, re minds farmers with wheat and feed grain allotments of a July 1 deadline reporting date. Signup is especially im portant this year to report acreages and preserve allot ment history. Complying with program regulations is very simple for the 1974 program. There are no acreage restrictions and there are many substitute crops to preserve allotments for those not raising grain this year. In addition. Bunch said program participation pro vides loan eligibility on the crop as well as for storage facilities. Other provisions include benefits for loss or damage of the crop due to natural causes. Bunch stated that all farmers with allotments should be sure to signup. The benefits can be very inipor tant to farming operations this year.
