Nuclear weapons freeze
scheduled
Buffs hold on to beat Grant Union Meeting
The campaign welcomes new
The Jefferso n C ounty
The Grant Union High
Prospectors just about found
the end of the rainbow and that
“Pot of Gold,’.’ when they came
to town October 15, for a
Greater Oregon League (GOL)
football game with the Madras
White Buffaloes.
The winless Prospector team
was out to prove that they were
not to be taken lightly. The
Buffs had their hands full for
three quarters of tough football
and it wasn’t until the final
quarter when the Buffs finally
managed to score. The first
score came oh a pass from
Steve Fiala to Pat Randle from
ten yards out. Troy Smith
booted thè extra point giving
the Buffs a seven point lead.
The final score came with time
running out as Brad Blackman
sprung loose, skirted his left
end and raced untouched into
the end-zone. A two-point
convers came on a pass from
Fiala to Randle to make the
final score 15-0.
Madras missed a couple of
scoring opportunities early in
the game as the Grand Union
defense stiffened and held, and
even sacked the M adras
quarterback at one time. On
another attempt to score Troy
Smith missed a 40-yard field
goal.
Once again the Buff defense
was put through its test, and
once again was very stubborn
on giving yardage. The Buff
ru n n in g gam e was not
c o n s is te n t ham p ered by
fumbles and penalties. The
passing game was also on the
blink, several clutch passes
were dropped by the receivers.
On Friday October 22, the
Buffs travel to M ilton-
F re e w a ta r fo r a n o th e r
important league game with
Mac-Hi. During pre-season
pick, Mac-Hi was one of the
teams to watch. They do have
the material arid are capable of
p u ttin g p o in ts on th e
scoreboard.
The Buffs will have to go into
this game with a different
attitude because Mac-Hi will
be no pushover, they will be
right in there trying to get the
win. For one thing, Madras has
never beated Mac-Hi on their
home field while at the helm of
coach Rod Chester.
On the same weekend the
Vale Vikings will travel to
Burns fof an important game
with the Hilanders who are the
other team with an unble
mished record in league play so
far.
Going into this week’s action
both Madras and Burns have
identical records of three wins
and no losses in GOL football,
with Vale right on their necks
with a two win and one loss
record. Vale should be up to
beat Burns and must to remain
in contention for the GOL
playoffs.
The rem ainder of the
football schedule is very
important for the Buffs. The
final game of the regular
schedule is with Burns on the
Madras home field.
Buffaloes ranked #1 in league
T h e M a d r a s W h ite
Buffaloes traveled toMilton-
F r e e w a te r oh F rid a y
October 22 to beat the Mac
Hi Pioneers keeping their
league record unblemished
and now leading the league
with a 4-0 standing.
The Buffs slow in getting
started went into the locker
room trailing 7-0 at half time.
Things were not going their
way in the first half. But in
the second half it was , all
Buffalo stomping grounds.
An injury to the starting
quarterback Steve
Fiala
forced him out of action but
back up quarterback Scott
Williams got things going in
the third quarter with a pass
to Jerom e Davis in the end
zone for the first score Troy
Smith kicked the extra point.
Again in the third quarter
Williams connected with
an o th er touchdow n pass
this time
he found pat
Randle in the end zone.
Smith added the extra point.
; In th e th ird q u a r te r
W illia m s g o t a n o t h e r
touchdow n by a pass to
Randle Smith again getting
the extra point. During the
fourth quarter the Buffs
played a lot of back up
players. Dan Lawrence took
his turn at the quarterback
position for a series of
downs where the Buffs were
deep in Pioneer territory but
were unable to capitalize for
a touchdown. They settled
for a 38 yard field goal by
Troy Smith to round out the
scoring for the evening.
The defense did a whale of
a job once again keeping
pressure on theM acH iteam
all through the game. Local
standouts were Steve, Troy,
Jason Smith, Vernon Tias,
Howard Patt along with the
rest of the team.;
This brings the Buffaloes
to a 4-0 league record and
are in the top spot where
Vale and Burns are tied for
sec o n d p lace with 3-l
records. On the night the
Buffs were beating Mac Hi,
the Vale Vikings invaded the
B u rn s H ila n d e r s . T h e
following day they beat the
Highlanders.
October 29th is horrie-
com ing for the M adras
White Buffaloes as they host
the Burns Highlanders for
the final game of the season
in league play. A victory will
put the Buffs in the state
play-offs. However if the
Burns Highlanders win there
will be a three way tie and a
flip of the coin will determine
the representative from the
Greater Oregon League.
Campaign for a Nuclear
Weapons Freeze Initiative is
planning an informational
meeting on ballot measure 5,
the nuclear arm s freeze
initiative, on Wednesday,
October 27, 7:30 p.m., at the
Mud Springs Grange in
Madras.
The film “War Without
Winners” will be shown. The
“war without winners” of the
film’s title is nuclear war, the
effects of which are shown: but
the film does not limit itself to
presenting the nuclear threat,
but it also includes interviews
with military and civilian
experts on defense, nuclear
weapons, and disarmament,
who discuss both the current
arms race and the prospects for
halting it.
The theme of positive action
against the arms race and the
threat of nuclear war will be
taken up by Henry Morrison,
tribal linguist at Warm Springs
and co-chairperson of the
' Jefferson County Campaign,
who will speak on “What you
can do about the nuclear
threat.” He will discuss some Of
the questions connected with
the Freeze, such as the U.S.-
Soviet m ilitary balance,
respond to some of the
arguments advanced against
the Freeze proposal, and
present some concrete ways for
o rd in ary citizens to act
effectively against the arms
race and the danger of nuclear
war.
The meeting will be free of
charge.

contact Henry Morrison at

(home), or co-chairperson
Brenda Davis at 475-2412.
If passed, ballot measure 5,
the nuclear arm s freeze
initiative, will require the
governor to write a letter to the
President stating that the
people of Oregon want the U.S.
to propose to the Soviet Union
a m utual freeze on the
development, production, and
deployment of new nuclear
weapons. The nuclear arms
freeze concept is supported by
many prom inent m ilitary,
political, scientific and other
figures, including Russell Jim,
president of the Affiliated
Tribes of Northwest Indians,
and also by many organiza
tions, including the National
Congress of American Indians
arid the N atio n al^J.rib al
Chairman’s Association.
“The nuclear arms freeze
initiative may be the most
important measure on the
b a llo t th is y e a r ,” says
Morrison. “The Soviets have
already expressed positive
interest in the idea, and a freeze
would be more easily verifiable,
according to former CIA head
William Colby, than more
complex arms lim itations
agreements. It will be an
essential first step towards
nuclear arms reduction and an
ultimate end to the threat of
nuclear holocaust.”

Trick-or-treat Oct. 30
COCOA weatherizing 30 homes
Thirty houses in the Warm
S p rin g s co m m u n ity are
currently being weatherized
with money for the project
coming from a government
grant designed for low income
Indians needing assistance.
The weatherization project
started in October and will
continue through the month of
November until all low income
residents who have applied and
been approved receive the
assistance.
Assistance was first awarded
to low income senior citizens
who owned their own home
according to welfare worker
F ritz M iller. N ext were
handicapped, low income
homeowners. And finally,
homeowners with low income
were given assistance until
funding ran out.
Eligibility for weatherization
was determined by comparing
size of the family with the
amount of income in that
household. A one-person
household with a monthly
income of under $487.50 is
eligible. Other monthly figures
include: two member family,
under $647.91, three members,
under $808.33; four members,
$968.75; five members, under
$1,129.16; and six members,
under$ 1,289.58.
The grant totalled $37,073.
$17,609 allowed for purchase
of materials with labor costs
estimated at $13,556.
The weatherization jvork is
being done by the Central
Oregon Council on Aging
(COCOA) from Bend. “They
can do it cheaper than anyone
so we can get more done,” says
social service supervisor Gayle
Rodgers. He adds, “We’re
getting a lot of benefit for the
dollar figure.”
An evaluation of each home
re c e iv in g a p p r o v a l fo r
assistance was made by
weatherization director for
COCOA Ovie Weinman and a
schedule for work to be done
was prepared. Work performed
by the COCOA weatherization
w orkers included ceiling
in su latio n , caulking and
venting, weatherstripping,
storm windows installed,
insulation of floors, hot water
tank, pum p room s and
plumbing lines, repairs to
broken windows and ill fitting
doors, and patching of leaking
roofs.
Halloween is traditionally
celebrated on October 31.
However because that date falls
on S u n d a y th is y e a r,
community members have
changed the date for its
celeb ratio n to S atu rd ay
night, October 30.
The change of date will
enable children and parents to
enjoy the night’s activities later
into the night. Parents will not
have to be at work the next day
and children will not have to be
home early in preparation for
school the next day, according
to Halloween community
coordinator Neda Wesley.
Besides trick-or-treating, the
Community Center will be
holding it’s annual Halloween
carnival on October 30.
Have a happy and safe
Halloween.
