Better Citizenship in School
All of us consider ourselves good
citizens from a standpoint of obey
ing the laws of the nation, state and
city; however, it is evident that many
do not think of citizenship in relation
to the school. A citizen is a member;
therefore, we are citizens of school.
Are you a good citizen of the
school? Do you obey the rules and
laws of the school? The school does
not have a list of "dos" and "don'ts"
for each student to follow. Its laws
are unwritten. Most of the laws, com
mon courtesy, being quiet, respect to
teachers, etc., are everybody's man
ners. Why must students be remind
ed every day to refrain from speak
ing when it is unnecessary? It isn't
lack of memory but merely neglect
on the student's part. We do not re
alize the disturbance and harms we
cause when we whisper and make
unnecessary sounds. When one
places himself in the teacher's place
or in a studious person's place, he
may easily see his mistake.
In the future let us all try to be
good citizens of our school and thus
make our school a better place for
education.

Heppner's scheduled opponent this
Friday is Hermiston, the team that
burned up the scoreboard with the
71 to 18 beating they administered to
the locals in the first game ... an
interesting sidelight came up in that
game which was played on the Hepp
ner court . . . Hermiston asked a $20
guarantee to come over here and
play, and when the Mustangs jour
neyed to the Bulldog city for the
return game, they would in turn give
us the same amount. The usual guar
antee for a road trip ranges from
five to ten dollars, but Hermiston
knew it was safe in asking for such
a sum, as the gate receipts at the
contest in Hermiston would far ex
ceed that amount . . . the boys from
the Umatilla river area were given
the asked sum, but local school lost
money, as Heppner hasn't taken in
$20 on a home game yet this season
. . . the odd part of it is, they should
be raking in from $35 to $50 per
game.
To Henry E. Tetz, the congenial
Adams coach, goes the honor of turn
ing out one of the best coaching jobs
in this sector in some time . . . going
to Adams last fall from our own city,
Tetz put the wheat-center school on
the map by tutoring his six-man
football team to second place in the
Umatilla football league, the top
sextet being Athena, which had in
past years sponsored eleven-man
teams . . . last week, Tetz's basket
ball proteges pulled an upset indeed
when they pushed over, by a 20 to
16 score, the Athena quintet, the Dis
trict 13 champion that went to the
state tournament last year and had
been defeated this season only by
Pendleton. Tetz assigned his ablest
men the task of checking the Glad
iator "hot-shots," Jenkins, Jones
and Hansell, and therein lies the tale
. . . Athena didn't score a field goal
until after eleven minutes had been
played and in the meantime, Adams
had jumped into a lead that was
never relinquished ... at one time,
the Warriors were seven points
ahead of Athena. This victory makes
things look most favorable for Ad
ams in the coming sub-district tour
nament, but there is one thing that
hinders the prospects ... on the
first string Tetz has one player who
is most unusual when things don't
go just right, he thinks nothing of
leaving a game ... in the Athena
game this hoopster had a foul called
on him that he couldn't quite jus
tify, and immediately thereafter, he
went over to the bench and said
"Take me out." All efforts to get him
back in the game were fruitless .
it's very seldom that one hears of a
case such as this, especially when
it comes to quitting on his own team.
Off the backboard . . . lone has a
system that assures their getting all
gate receiDts due them ... at the
Heppner
Egg City game, the ticket-seller had,
within easy reach, the eligibility list
of Heppner players and no one got in
from Heppner, except the basketball
squad, without paying ... as his
name was not included on the list,
it's still a question how the man
ager gained his entrance.' Most of
the attendants at the Hermiston
game here two weeks ago were of
the opinion that the large Bulldog
rooting section was composed en
tirely of Hermiston students ... in
reality, several of them were from
Pine City . . . Hermiston is Pine
City's closest big-time school and
consequently, they came to Heppner
to root for their favorite. No report
yet on A. Silen, the red-headed
salesman who took some money from
local business men on an advertising
scheme for high school basketball
and then left town ... a warning
has been issued to the newspaper
publishers in Oregon to be on the
look-out for our "friend." Bernard
McMurdo, Heppner '36 and now a
pledge of Sigma Phi Epsilon at Ore
gon State, maintains a regular ath
letic schedule at college as he did
when in high school, although it's
not varsity but part of the intra
mural program ... he ranks among
the top-notchers in both ping pong
and wrestling. M. D. Clark, local
merchant who follows sports very
closely, does not favor the new style
of basketball without the center
jump, not because he thought the
center jump absolutely essential,
but because of its consequent re
sults on the players . . . Mac says
not many high school kids can stand
the grind of playing a full game, as
it is today, at top speed.

Freshman Assembly
Last Friday afternoon the fresh
man class presented their annual as
sembly. The program opened with
two selections by the members of
the class who play in the school
band.
The best part of the program fol
lowed the band when several mem
bers of the class of '41 exhibited how
the various teachers acted when they
were in school. Donnie Bennett, as
Mr. Peavy, brought the house down.
Pat Dooley gave a beautiful ren
dition of "The One Rose." This num
ber was followed by the dramatiza
tion of the "Killing of Dan McGrew."

Morrow Fifth in
Highway Safety
Morrow county ranked fifth
among Oregon's 12 group rv" coun
ties from the standpoint of excell
ence in traffic safety last year, ac
cording to 1937 statistics completed
this week by Secretary of State Earl
Snell.
The grouping and ranking of the
counties was done this year to enable
every citizen of Oregon to learn just
where his county stands in the state
wide campaign against accidents,
and to stimulate local efforts to ira
prove traffic conditions.
"Accurate ranking of the counties
is naturally difficult, because of dif
ferences in highways, traffic and
weather," Snell pointed out. "For
this reason we based our ranking
partly on the improvement each
county made over its 1936 record for
accidents and injuries. The other
element we considered was each
county's death rate per 10,000 popu
lation. We did not consider the im
provement in the traffic death rec
ord, since variations in this field
were too great to permit ready com
parisons."
Group rv counties are those with
a population density of less than four
persons per square mile. Snell has
divided the 36 counties of the state
into four groups, based on popula
tion density, for the sake of valid
comparison.
Top place in this group for 1137
was taken by Jefferson county. Oth
er counties, in the order of ranking,
were Wheeler, Grant, Crook, Mor
row, Harney, Lake, Gilliam, Wal
lowa, Curry, Malheur and Sherman,
Jefferson county's record was the
most , outstanding in the state. The
county was free from traffic deaths
and chalked up a composite reduc
tion of 40 percent in accidents and
injuries.
Winners in other groups were
Oregon
Portland, group I; Lane county,
group H, and Wasco county, group
III.
During 1937 there were 57 acci-
no ronnrtWI from MoiTOW COUn-
ty, resulting in 9 injuries and 3
deaths. In 1936 there were M acci
dents reported, 23 injuries and 2
deaths.
"Our efforts to reduce traffic ac
cidents and deaths are going to con
tinue unabated in 1938," Snell de
clared. "We are planning to issue at
the end of each month a study sim
ilar to this annual survey, so that
each county will know what prog
ress it is making toward our com
mon goal. I feel that the vast ma
inritv nf nnr motorists will be sin
cerely desirous of improving their
county s record, and m so doing iney
will improve the record of the en
tire state."
FACTS

What Should I Do for
Frozen Brakes?
There are few winter driving ex
periences more mystifying than to
climb into your car, start the motor,
and discover that the wheels won't
turn. The normal diagnosis in this
case is that your brakes are trozen.
Water occasionally finds its way
between the brake lining and the
drum, and when this water freezes
the wheels naturally are unable to
turn
Snm pfimes the brakes may be
jarred loose by allowin gthe clutch
to jump" in while the motor is
turning over at a moderate speed.
If this fails the. first couple of times,
get a pail of lukewarm water and
slosh it over the outside of the brake
drums. This will cause the drums to
expand and the ice will shake loose.
Do not use scalding water or the
drums may crack due to over-rapid
expansion.
