PINTO-POINTS
Since the home of the Jasper and
Spencer Crawford publishing house
is going through interior renovations,
and as a result they will have to
edit the weekly Gazette Times pub
lication with all their printing pos
sessions standing in the way, and as
the man who runs the linotype ma
chine will be pressed to make up for
lost time, yours truly will briefen
the column for this edition, a sen
timent greatly favored by the two
ardent readers of this section of the
paper.
Last Friday around the afternoon
hour of five, three players dressed
in basketball togs stood shooting
baskets on the local gym floor, with
their spectators numbering approx
imately sixteen ... so far so good,
as there seems to be nothing unusual
about such an incident . . . however,
in addition to La Verne Van Marter,
ex-Heppner star who is an alien as
far as the Oregon High School Ath
letic association is concerned, he be
ing ousted by that body's ninth term
rule, and Larry McKenzie, grade
school physical education instructor,
who were both shooting baskets,
there was a third man, famed for
his basketball prowess at the Uni
versity of Oregon ... the person in
question was none other than Lad
die Gale, the new high-scorer in the
northern division of the Pacific
Coast conference with 249 points in
20 games ... at the invitation of
some of our high school students, he
made a visit tp the big white build
ing used jointly for athletics and
other sundry purposes, donned
slightly snug basketball outfit, as
he weighs 195, tops the tape meas
ure at 6 feet 4 inches, and wears
number 12 shoes, and proceeded to
stretch put a bit with a basket shoot
ing demonstration, unique to those
witnessing it; for. but few persons
around here had ever seen the re
nowned Laddie Gale in action . .
of course shooting is not all that
constitutes Gale's duties as a mem
ber of the Oregon university's ball
hawking five, but it did offer a gen
eral idea as to the why and where
fore of his record-breaking record
. . . Gale, who shoots equally well
with either hand from any angle,
netted under-handed side shots from
the front court when standing sev
eral feet distant from the basket,
dribbled and faked shots, switching
hands just before he let the ball go,
sank long ones with unusual accu
racy, and to top it off, dribbled
straight at the basket, leaped high
in the air above the rim of the net
with the ball poised in the clutch
of one hand, palm down, and pro
ceeded to pitch the ball into the
basket . . . those witnessing the
mighty Gale in action represented
several of the numerous walks of
life . . . included were high school
players, two janitors, a school super
intendent, alumni home from college
for spring vacation and some others,
not to mention a hand full of fem
inine spectators a portion of whom
were there to watch his basket
shooting ability, while the others
were present for reasons of their
own.
Curfew chatter . . . Regardless of
what may have been its original in
tention, Dr.. McMurdo's new tennis
court, aided by some wild clover
and iris, is rapidly being converted
into a flower garden . . . one clump
of clover burst through the top layer
of the court, and now there is a small
hill in the playing section of Doc's
racquet wielding investment ... in
another area, a bit of iris popped
through and left a hole in the back
court of the tennis lot . . . this court
was constructed exactly by the same
company and of the same material
as were the town's new paved streets
and the recently-built school tennis
courts, but whether it's pavement
or not, the flowers are still bloom
ing on Dr. McMurdo's tennis court.

Years Ago
. One Year Ago ... All members of
the local FFA chapter are preparing
for the sectional meeting to be held
at Condon, Friday, March 26. ... In
the near future Heppner "H" club
is helping to sponsor a smoker,
probably to be held at Hermiston
this year and at Heppner next year.
Five Years Ago ... A band con
cert will be held March 31 The
high school gym students have been
divided into ten basketball teams.
Ten Years Ago . . . The Eastern
Oregon Typing contest will be held
at Pendleton, April 14.

Mrs. Drake Treats Team
It seems as though in the last
half-hour of hurrying and scurry
ing which marked the editing of
the Hehisch a few weeks back a very
important item was left out, which
is as follows:
Mrs. Ray Drake, loyal admirer of
the high school basketball team,
acted as hostess to the boys Friday
by serving a highly palatable chicken
dinner at the Drake home in Sand
Hollow. It was only natural that the
boys had a very good time, as was
noticed by acclamations. At this
time an invitation by the Hermis'
ton Girls' League to a party at Her
miston was read and approved.
Many apologies to Mrs. Drake.
H.H.S.
Gossip
we aont know lor sure, but we
think that Harriet's interests haw
turned to the University of Oregon.
The juniors seem to be clicking
again, so far as romances are con
cerned.
Upon the other hand, certain
sophomores don't seem to to be hit
ting it off so good.
Evidently Milton's car is becom
ing more handy than he thought.
We often wonder what it is that
holds that red head and the little
blonde together.
raul McCarty seemed to be in
terested in Miss "Buckeh" over the
Week end.
Many long laces have been no
ticed around about since the college
boys have gone back to school.

Humor
Booker T. Washington says, "The
high school is a great human fac
tory."
We all agree; students are canned
there.
Lowell Ashbaugh: "Joe, I heard
you and Shirley had some words."
Joe Aiken: "I had some, but
didn't get a chance to use them,"
A man and his wife served on the
same jury.
The jury disagreed.
Ruth' Green: "Gee, my bones
ache."
hi. Hager: Yes, headaches are a
nuisance, aren't they?"
M. Browning (in shorthand):
"How do you write husband?"
Miss Smith: "That ought to. be
easy. It's written just like a ques
tion mark."
Eileen Kelly: "I am going to call
you 'Feathers' after this."
A. Davidson: "Why?"
Eileen: "Because I don't want to
call you down."

Spring Sports Hampered
Old Mother Nature seems to have
it in for those boys with baseball and
track ambitions. The week previous
to the ending of, basketball season
was beautiful sunshiny weather; but
when the call comes for baseball
players and track men, the weather
spitefully turns cold and windy with
rain and snow thrown in, to make
conditions very disheartening.
Unless the weather starts to clear
up, Heppner's spring athletic teams
won't be in any kind of shape be
fore school is out. '
H.H.S.
Who Am I?
I am more powerful than the com
bined armies of the wrold;
I am more deadly than bullets,
and I have wrecked more homes
than the mightiest of siege guns;
I steal in the United States alone
.over $300,000,000 each year;
I spare no one, and find my vic
tims among the rich and poor
alike, the young and old, the
strong and the weak.
I massacre thousands upon thous
ands of wage-earners in a year;
I lurk in unseen places, and do
most of my work silently;
You have been warned against me,
but heed not;
I am relentless; I am everywhere;
in the home, on the street, in the
factory, at the railroad crossing,
and on the sea;
I bring sickness, degradation and
death, and yet few seek to avoid
me;
I destroy, crush, and maim; I give
nothing, but take all;
I am your worst enemy
I AM CARELESSNESS.

Cranium Breaker
What is it that has
Marble walls as white as milk,
Lined with skin as soft as silk?
'Neath a fountain crystal clear,
A golden apple doth appear.
No doors are there to this strong

Yet thieves break through and
steal the gold.

Not a class reaching the ticket
