Two Heppner Teams
Split With Condon
Heppner divided honors with Con
don upon Condon's court a week
ago Wednesday evening. The B team
struggle turned out to be the best
game of the evening with a score of
29 to 28 in favor of Heppner. One
overtime period was necessary as the
score was knotted at 27 all at the
end of the regular playing period.
Heppner was behind, up until the
fourth period when Crawford and
Aiken pulled the team out by sink
ing several shots from various an
gles, leaving the score 27 to 26 in
favor of Condon when Osborn sank
a gift shot, tying up the score as the
game ended. Crawford sank a short
shot, putting Heppner ahead in the
extra period. A foul was committed
by Heppner as the final whistle
blew, but only one of two shots giv
en was successful.
Condon slightly reversed the or
der in the A squad game with a
score of 49 to 25. Condon's scoring
was quite consistent and they held
the lead throughout the game, the
half time score being 23 to 12.
Heppner, on the other hand, scored
when the opportunity offered, al
though the opportunity was rare.
Barratt led his team with 11 points.
Heppner used a zone defense but
failed to stop the scoring of Condon.
HENRY SCHERZINGER
Henry Scherzinger was born on a
farm near Lodi, Dane county, Wis
consin, on July 23, 1859, and died at
Heppner, Oregon, February 17, 1938,
aged 78 years, 6 months and 24 days.
His parents were John and Rachel
(Weizen) Scherzinger, both natives
of Bavaria, Germany. They .were
married in this country and all their
children were born here, Henry be
ing the third son. When he was 11
years old the family came to Oregon
by way of the newly built transcon
tinental railroad to San Francisco,
then to Portland by boat. His father
took a homestead near Oregon City,
and the family home was made there
for years. What schooling Henry had
he received from country schools,
his education being largely obtained
through home study, reading and
hard knocks. At the age of 12 he was
apprenticed to a blacksmith and
learned the trade. When he was 16,
in February, 1877, he came with his
brother and wife to what is now
Morrow county and had lived here
since, a 62-year residence. When he
first came he worked at his trade as
blacksmith. Later he herded and
sheared sheep and rode the range
after cattle and horses. He was rid
ing the range at the time of the In
dian scare in 1878. At the age of 21
he took up the homestead on Rhea
creek that was the nucleus of his
later land holdings which finally
totaled 3155 acres. He ran the crew
that built the first road from Hepp
ner to Monument and was instru
mental in the construction of sev
eral other roads. He was road over
seer and road supervisor several
times. He held the offices of school
clerk and school director in his home
district for years. He was stock in
spector during the years when sheep
scab was prevalent in the county.
In 1892 he bought into the shoe store
with Matt Lichenthal. He ran that
for three or four years then went
back to the sheep business again.
While in Heppner he was a volunteer
fireman and member of many lodges.
In December, 1902, while feeding a
band of stock he received an injury
that bothered him the rest of his
life. He continued to live on the
ranch and run it until 1917, then
rented the ranch and moved to
Heppner. He resided at the latter
home a little more than 25 years. He
was a very conscientious man. His
name was unsullied. He always paid
his debts and worked on the princi
pal of live and let live. On July 20,
1905, he married Charlotte Shipley,
daughter of a pioneer physician. To
this union was born one daughter,
Mrs. Rachel Stearns, who with the
widow survive. He is also survived
by a brother, Fred Scherzinger of
Cloverdale, Ore., and a number of
nieces and nephews.

Women's Realm on
Farm Important
Participation of the rural women
in all phases of extension work di
rected at farm improvement was
strongly endorsed by F. L. Ballard,
vice-director of the extension ser
vice at Oregon State college, in an
address before the recent homemak
ers' conference on the campus.
Ballard pointed to the beneficial
results this winter from having home
makers participate in the county
farm outlook conferences, as an in
dication of the advantage of having
joint action by both men and wo
men. The betterment of the rural home
is, in fact, the ultimate objective of
all extension work, whether carried
on with men, women or through the
boys' and girls' 4-H clubs, Ballard
pointed out. This conception, while
not always applied, was really con
tained in the original bill establish
ing the extension service 25 years
ago, he said.
"It seems to me that when our
home economics staff members and
local leaders sit around the confer
ence table in 36 counties, as they are
doing this winter, they will bring
definitely into the consciousness of

the people the subject of the needs
of the home," Ballard said. "In one
well-known county, for example,
the conference brought to light the
fact that 32 per cent of the home
makers still carry water an average
distance of 190 feet, that only 54 per
cent of the homes have piped
cold water, and only 35 per cent
have adequate sanitation. You can't
keep emphasizing such facts without
making some progress towards im
provement. "These women are appearing be
fore groups of citizens within the
county and saying that they, as farm
women, recommend modern water
systems and adequate sanitary fa
cilities as a major project; that they
recommend legislation prohibiting
pollution of streams and irrigation
ditches, as well as periodical purity
tests of water supplies. When they
do this, I believe they are contribut
ing to a realization of the import
ance of the home that is long over
due." '
