Mustangs Drop Two Games The Heppner high school Mustangs met defeat in both of the two games they played last week end. Jour neying to Arlington Friday night, they were set back 37 to 24 by the Arlington Honkers. Returning from Arlington they met defeat Saturday night at the hands of the fast breaking Hermiston quintet by a 33 to 22 score. Decidedly off form, the Mustang hoopsters have been unable since the game with Mac-Hi to hit the stride shown by them earlier in the season. The inability of the Mustangs to hit the basket, in contrast to the sharp shooting of the Arlington and Her miston teams, accounts in a large measure for the two losses. The loss of an important team member at the end of the first se mester broke up the heretofore win ning combination that had been playing, but with several game's ex perience behind him, the player re placing him is quite capable of fill ing his shoes creditably. The Mus tangs should therefore be in top form for the games this week end with Condon and The Dalles. The Mustangs play Condon here Friday and journey to The Dalles Saturday. The lineup for the games was as follows: Heppner 24, Gilman f (9), Cox f (2), Van Marter c (6), Mun kers g (2), Hoskins g (3), Coxen s (2). Arlington, 37, Harford f, Baker f (6) Rice c (10) Bowman g (2), Wetherill g (11), McMullen s (6). Heppner 22, Gilman f (8), Cox f (2), Van Marter c (7), Munkers g, Hoskins g, Coxen s (5), Stone s.

PUZZLE Together with the correct solution to this puzzle, send in the end of a! used pickle and you will receive a free trip to Bermuda. Answer will be next week. A boy was running away with a watermelon that he had stolen from a farmer's melon patch. He had gotten over a stone wall and was crossing a pond that was frozen over, when the farmer came out, took aim, and shot the boy, who dropped to the ice and went through it. When he was fished out, he was dead. It could not be ascertained whether his death was caused by drowning or by the bullet. Could the farmer be con victed of murder? H.H.S. Send-off for Arlington Game A pep assembly was called last Friday for the purpose of sending the basketball team to Arlington in good spirits. A few songs anJ yells were given for the occasion. Mr. Peavy told some of the duties of the timekeeper at basketball games. Donations were made by the stu dents to the Red Cross for the pur pose of helping those in the flood stricken area. The hat was passed around by Gerald Roberts. The total of the collection was $4.19. H.H.S. 10 Years Ago This Week From the Heppnerian. The Lexington quintet defeated the Heppner boys in a fast game of basketball last Friday night on their home floor. Both teams played a defensive game, as shown by the low score of 7 to 6. Score at the quater stood 3-0 in favor of Lexing ton; 3-0 at the half, 5-5 at the third period, and 7-6, final score. The local high school basketball team defeated the Hardman town team, 4-2. Debates are well on the way now. Two will be given this week. The senior team, composed of Orrin Bis bee, Marjorie Clark and Mary Rit chie, will meet the junior team, Mar vin Gabbell, Claud Conder and Rob ert Turner, on the question: Re solved, That the American cabinet system is operating unsuccessfully. H.H.S. Spring Fever Here it is the very first week of February and as far as you can see, there isn't a sign of "spring fever" yet. This is an outstanding record for any high school, because that is the first excuse the students can think of for not having their work in on time. Spring fever doesn't just attack the weak individuals, but it hits everyone, right in the same spot. But don't get excited, students, be cause you won't have very long to wait, as you can easily see by the change in temperature. H.H.S. HUMOR HAVE YOU EVER SEEN Arlene Morton's Willow creek Irishman? Paul McCarty try to open garage doors? Gerald Roberts mad at some of his best friends over a party Thurs day night Norton King leave Louise in the middle of the street Sunday af ternoon? Francis McCarty with Joe Aiken lately? HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED When all the snow is going to dis . appear? Why Betty B. wanted a part in the junior play? .What Van Marter has to be proud of that the rest of the boys haven't? Why Clayton Wright is in the ju nior play? Who the girl was that Don Turner chased to the show Sunday? Why Billy Irwin didn't go to the dance Saturday night? (Could it be a little sister?) Who likes to ring doorbells in the Jones apartments? DID YOU KNOW THAT ' A nickel contains more copper than a penny? Jesus was not born in a manger? Honolulu is the largest city in the world? Christopher Columbus did not die in prison? a tapeworm nas no mouth or stomach? The top of a wheel travels faster than the bottom? Snakes cannot travel on a smooth surface? The American buzzard is the fast est flying bird. Stephen Foster, composer of "Su- wanee River," had not heard of the Suwanee River at the time he wrote that song in 1851? A boy is the laziest animal in the world? Steam is invisible? The ukelele is not an Hawaiian in strument? A person can have but one birth day? H.H.S. F. F. A. Smoker The local chapter of the Future Farmers of America held it's regu lar weekly meeting last Friday for the purpose of appointing committees for the smoker that is to be held February 12. The following com mittees were appointed: Food, Fred Hoskins, Andy Davidson, Leland Ed mondson; clean-up, Bill Browning, Arthur Vance, Jesse Tinsley, Hu bert Hudson; admission, Marvin Casebeer, Emmett Kenny. The Condon smoker was success ful because of splendid support from the town people. The only way this smoker can be a financial success is to have everyone behind it. The Heppner boys beat Condon in their own ring, so with plenty of support, there is no reason why the local boys cannot beat them here. H.H.S. They Don't Like Our Music The following is an article taken from the editorial page of the Ar lington Bulletin which should be of interest to all high school students the much-lamented younger gener ation. "A tobacco company that buys time on the radio is conducting a contest to find out the most popular songs. Most all of the votes cast are for popular songs of today, and evi dently the younger generation are the only ones who are sending in any votes. "How anyone can believe that the new songs are superior to those of days gone by is beyond us. In our opinion the songs of today would be all right for a cat concert or a dog howling contest, but for music! No, indeed "When the song writers of old pro duced a song, there was some senti ment to the words, and the tune had some resemblance of music. Com pare 'After the Ball' with 'The Mu sic Goes Round and Round,' and 'School Days' to Tve Got You Un of the new songs sound as though of the nwe songs sound as though they came from the bughouse, and when you hear the music and words you are further convinced this is the case. We may be old fashioned, be that as it may, but give us the songs ot our fathers and mothers in prefer ence to the butchery and parody on music they sing and play today." What do we, the younger genera tion, think of this? LEGISLATIVE HIGHLIGHTS By A. L. LINDBECK. Salem. Attention of the legisla ture was directed by Governor Mar tin this week, in a message to the senate, to the gross inequalities of prison sentences meted out under the present system and to the inade quacy of the state's parole system. Prisoners convicted of almost iden tical crimes, the governor pointed out, are serving terms ranging from one year in some cases to 20 years in others. The governor recom mended centralization of authority for fixing prison sentences in a board in order to overcome this condition which he declared created a bad sit uation. Any doubt in the public mind as to the attitude of the Grange toward the anti-strike legislation now be fore the session was set at rest by the statement issued by the Grange Executive committee ' in opposition to the measures. The Grange lead ers see in the proposed anti-strike bills not only a slap at organized la bor but also the entering wedge tow ard governmental authority which might in time work to the detriment of organized agriculture. The House voted 44 to 15 to abol ish the job of director of marketing research now held by Dr. W. J. Kerr, former chancellor of the state sys tem of higher education. Many are predicting that the senate will also pass the bill although not by any such a wide margin. Senator Ross of Washington coun ty wants to equip all automobiles and trucks with governors set for a maximum speed of 60 miles an hour. When is a frog a fish? When the legislature so decrees. A bill now before the senate declares bull frogs to be game fish and would require that persons seeking to ensnare the croaking hoppers first equip them selves with a fishing license. The bill is sponsored by the game com mittee. Representative Ernie Fatland of Gilliam county thinks that money paid by motorists for their drivers' licenses should be earmarked for safety campaign purposes and not used for highway construction and maintenance. He is working on a measure which will so provide. Oregon will out-Reno Reno if measures now before the senate are approved. Residence requirements on the part of divorce seekers would be reduced to 30 days and remar riage would be permitted immediate ly after the knot was severed. The public hearing on the Clark bill to close all coast streams except the Columbia river, to commercial fishing, attracted the usual large crowds. The sportsmen, who insist on being referred to as conservation-, ists, were all for the bill as the only solution to the rapid depletion of the salmon supply while the commercial fishermen were just as strongly op posed to the measure which, they insisted, would not work as expect ed. The House knocked off work Fri day afternoon so that a new boiler could be installed in the armory heating plant before the old one blew up. The Senate, warm and snug in the Marion hotel dining room, held over until Saturday morning. The bill providing an increase in the counties' share of the gasoline taxes has made its appearance at last. It increases the county money to $2,000,000 a year. That would in crease the allocation to each county by 25 percent over the present amount. After passing the lieutenant-governor resolution by a vote of 32 to 25 the House defeated an attempt to reconsider the vote and sent the measure over to the senate. If that body puts its okeh on the resolution the voters of Oregon will again have a chance to express their opinion on the issue for the fifth time in 25 years. Representative Bennett, Newberg attorney, serving his first term in the legislature, commutes between his home and the capital city every day. Professional Directory A. D. McMurdo, M. D.
