A Worthy Itch
Are you one of the students of
Heppner high school who have re
solved to do your work more effi
ciently and in a way which will give
you a more prospective outlook: on
life? As we all of us enjoy vacations
and wish there were more, we should
show our appreciation by being
more diligent in our school work.
By doing this we shall also be ben
efitted by. the efforts we put forth.
The best way to cure the itch for an
education is to scratch for it, so may
the New Year lead you to greater
achievement.

PINTO-POINTS
The inactivity of Heppner's bas
ketball quintet during the Christ
mas holidays, with the exception of
an occasional shooting practice or
scrimmage against alumni, leaves
the discussion of that squad one of
vacant proportions, so a word or two
concerning the coaches of schools in
this sector.
Playing here this Saturday, the
Arlington cagers come to Heppner
as a team coached by a man who has
fared most successfully as mentor
in the Honker school, since corning
to that institution three years ago.
Last fall, Vince Barrett, athletic in
structor in the river city's high
school, topped all past achievements
by coaching his gridiron eleven to
the so-called state B football cham
pionship, a feat envied by coaches
near and far. This winter, Coach
Barrett has as material for his bas
ketball team a group of boys who
have been playing together in ath
letics for three years, and this sea
son marks their fourth year as team
mates, a period destined to bring
fame to these athletic greats of Ar
lington, the school itself, and to the
director of such an activity. The
chances for a championship team
are more opportune at Arlington for
the current season of 1937-38 than
ever before, as Coach Barrett has
squad of ball-hawking aspirants who
have the potential makings of a truly
great basketball team. In such boys
as Woods, Wetherell, Bowman, Ba
ker and Rice, the latter being among
the first ten players chosen on the
all-star team at the district tourna
ment last spring, Barrett, superin
tendent as well as coach, has a var
sity that posseses height, the entire
group averaging over the double'
yard stick measure, an abundance
of speed, a wealth of scoring ability
and most important, five players who
know, well from a trio of years of
past experience the value of team
work, a valuable asset realized from
working together as a five-man
group. Should he repeat this year in
basketball as he did in football,
which would be a most remarkable
feat indeed, or should his team reach
the district basketball finals and
perhaps annex a trip to the state
melee, the spoken-of athletic tutor,
already in demand by larger schools,
is due for a promotion to employ'
ment as coach in a school of Cljass
A rating, a big time job for Vince
Barratt.
Curfew chatter . . . Coaches who
are graduates of little Pacific uni
versity in the valley town of Forest
Grove, are quite numerous in this
section of eastern Oregon ... to be
exact there are six of them .
namely, Don Fossati of Athena,
Frank O'Neill of Hermiston, Albert
Lemcke of Condon, Bob Main of
Imbler and Erret Hummel and Alex
McDonald, both of lone. Lyle Eddy,
who practically had a monopoly on
the refereeing of football games in
Morrow and Gilliam counties, both
in the six and eleven man, has pro
duced a most formidable team at Ir
rigon where, by the way, he is coach
. . . in fact, it's the best in years for
that school, as they have in the past
been merely practice games for op
ponents ... but this season, eight
straight victories is the record Irri
gon has attained, the last being a 57
to 7 win over Umapine, the school
that sent a representative to the state
tournament back in 1936. The op
position offered the lone townies by
a pick-up team of Heppner boys,
most of them home from college dur
ing Christmas, was in itself surpris
ing .. . it must be remembered that
most of the boys had not played to
gether for a year, some two, and
had never played as a unit before . . .
the star-studded line-up for the
Heppnerites included such players as
Don Turner, frosh at University of
Oregon, who was a former high
scoring forward for the locals; Len
Gilman, freshman football star at
Pacific university and former cap
tain of the Mustang quintet; Charles
Cox of Oregon State and formerly
of the Heppner teams; Harlan Mc
Curdy from Pacific university and
star at lone high school; Ed Dick,
recently of Pacific university and
a graduate of Heppner; Spud Fur
long, a "still local boy" who was one
of the cleverest dribblers in Mus
tang history; Jimmy Furlong, a
brother of the aforementioned play
er of the same name, who played at
Mt. Angel after leaving Heppner, and
La Verne Van Marter, present star
of the local high school hoopsters.
A suggested restriction for those us
ing the tennis courts . . . that all
players wear tennis shoes or shoes
that have rubber soles . . . during
Christmas vacation, the majority of
tennis indulgents were playing with
leather soled shoes on their feet . . .
if the courts are to be preserved for
any length of time, wearing shoes
adorned with thick cow-hide lowers
and iron heel and toe plates is not
the way to go about it.

Portland with her mother during the

Guess Who?
This week's choice of our "Guess
Who"
Is the tallest boy in this whole
school,
And this boy is the beau
Of a dark-haired girl called Jo.
He claims the record 'Tve never
been kissed,"
But personally, we believe he's
never been missed.
He just can't be abused
And he likes the Smith-Hughes.
He had a swell trip to Kansas City
And is not a fellow for us to pity.
H.H.S.
It was an hour before lunch,
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even Van Marter.

Unemployed Receive
Personal Service
Salem The State Employment
service this week announced an itin
erant service to enable eligible un
employed workers in small towns
and rural districts to register for
employment and file their claims for
unemployment benefits at points
near their homes.
This service will consist of a week
ly visit by representatives of the
State Employment service to more
than 50 towns of the state and will
be continued for such time as local
employment conditions seem to re
quire. Each person applying for unem
ployment benefits is required to reg
ister with the employment service
for a job. If he has worked at an em
ployment subject to the State Unem
ployment Compensation law and is
found eligible for benefits he may
draw weekly compensation after a
waiting period of two weeks provid
ing suitable employment is not found
for him in the meantime.
The schedule of towns, places and
The schedule for Morrow county
is: Heppner, hotel building, Tuesday,
Jan. 4 (and every Tuesday there
after). The reactometer, an instrument
which tells drivers exactly how long
it takes them to react to any highway
emergency, was one of the chief fea
tures of the safety exhibit sponsored
by Secretary of State Earl Snell at
the recent Medord auto show. The
reactometer was constructed entirely
by employees in the secretary of
state's office.
IS HISTORY
ALWAYS RIGHT?
Revealing Facts Denied by
History
The short subject, which too often
abject,
layed
in the past played the part of just
so much "filler" for an otherwise en
joyable program, is, with each new
season, coming into its own as a
form of valuable entertainment and
education for motion picture theater
goers. There is now nothing more
enjoyable than a Disney color car
toon of Mickey Mouse or Donald
Duck; there are the Community
Sing Popeye the beautifully col
ored Fitzpatrick Traveltalks The
March of Time the Newsreels.
And now, just starting, are the
Historical Mysteries based on in
tensive research which seek to
prove the veracity of rumors which
have existed down the years. Dram
atized and projected on the screen,
they bring new facts to bear on con
troversial subjects. The first of the
featurettes is "The King Without a
Crown," to be shown at the Star
Theater, January 12-13. It attempts
to prove that Marie Antoinette s son
did not die in a French prison but
was smuggled to America where he
grew up as Eleazer Williams, mis'
sionary to the, Indians.
The second will tell the story of
John Wilkes Booth, puportedly killed
in a secluded shack, in reality an
escaped fugitive who died fifteen
years ago titled "The Man in the
Barn," this second Historical MyS'
tery will be shown at the theater on
the anniversary of Abraham Lin
coin's birthday.
Another short subject currently of
great interest is the Newsreel con
taining the pictures of the Panay
bombing. In answer to the many in
quiries the Fox Movietone News
containing these pictures will be
shown at the Theater on Tuesday,
January 12 one day only two
shows if necessary in order that
everyone may see these remarkable
photos. (Adv.)
