Salem. Under an order issued this
week by Ormond R. Bean, public
utilities commissioner, school busses
hereafter must be conducted over
unprotected grade crossings under
manual flag.
The order was issued following a
conference with Rex Putnam, state
superintendent of public instruction,
who has directed that all districts
operating school busses shall comply
with the order.
Bean's order provides that on ap
proaching an unprotected grade
crossing the school bus must stop
well clear of the rails while some
boy, selected for his reliability and
intelligence, goes forward to flag
the vehicle with its precious load of
human freight across in safety.
The order was issued in an attempt
to forestall a repetition in Oregon of
accidents such as have taken heavy
toll of life among school children
in several other states in crashes at
grade crossings.
The state highway commission,
just back from its annual tour of
eastern and central Oregon reports
residents of that section of the state
to be well pleased with the progress
of road improvement. At Ontario,
Burns, John Day, Prineville and
other central Oregon centers large
delegations met the commission and
its staff of engineers to express their
thanks for the completion of import
ant primary highways which at last
blacked out the political picture in
the good old U. S. A. So far, the
presidential candidates have 'almost
monopolized what little attention the
voters have consented to give to
politics. With the show-down only
three weeks away, however, aspir
ants for some of the other plums to
be distributed this fall are clamor
ing for attention with but little suc
cess up to this time.
In the congressional arenas here in

Although Oregon's traffic fatal

the traffic toll for the first three
months of this year is four ahead
of that for the same period of last

urging motorists to drive more care
fully during the remaining months
of the year in an effort to improve
the state's record for the year.

The Mustangs take a rest this
week end as a result of failure of
plans to go through for a return
game with Fossil. However, Coach
Knox is trying to arrange a six man
game with lone.
Who thought that we would ever
have a dirty player on a Heppner
team? Well, it seems as though some
one was at least careless. Whether
it is purposeful or not is question
able, but the fact remains that this
cost us 45 yards in penalties in the
Condon game.
In the Coast sportlight:
Nothing much was decided when
O. S. C. met U. S. C. at Los Angeles
Saturday. Dopesters were sure that
after that game they would have a
definite basis for predicting the P.
C. C. results. They were disap
pointed, however, because the result
of the game was a scoreless tie. The
only team with a percentage rating
at all is Stanford as a result of their
13-0 shellacking of Oregon.
The local team has two weeks to
prepare for the Hermiston Bulldogs
who they play here on the eigh
teenth of October.
Conduct at the Game
Many of the students who enter
high school do not realize to what
extent they are judged by their ac
tions at the games. Townspeople
either look upon you with disgust
or admiration.
You must realize that the school
is not only judged by the building,
faculty, and equipment, but by the
students' behavior at social func
tions.
Last Friday at the game, some of
the high school boys decided to play
on the side lines. They created the
impression that the game held no
interest for them. Go to a game with
the determination that you are there
to see your team play, win or lose.
Encourage them in victory or in
defeat, join in with the songs and
yells. Show the team you are trying
too, and do not run up and down
steps. You may be noticed but not
in the light you wish to be.
A very important item not to be
overlooked is that you should not
boo your opponents. Nothing is more
detrimental to your reputation for
sportsmanship than to hiss or boo
the opponent.
On the whole the conduct of our
school is good but let's put it above
that. We have begun well. Let us
maintain that by boosting our team,
and bring Heppner's sportsmanship
reputation to the TOP.

Band to Launch Campaign
The band has decided to launch a
campaign to raise money for uni
forms, instruments, and other needs.
A program committee has been ap
pointed to suggest ideas for money
making and also for creating a new
band spirit. A few of the suggest
tions were a winter formal (public
invited), selling School Musician
magazines at a reduced price, and
selling confections.
In the ten years of the band, it
nas been mostly self-supporting.
Fifty dollars a year are given bv
the school board which pays for the
majority of the music. This means
that stands and other supplies must
be paid by the money the band has
earned and money the people have
so generously donated. The towns
people will never realize how much
the band appreciated their fine co
operation.

HEPPNER TROUNCES CONDON
Heppner downed Condon 26-0 in
its first home game last Friday. A
large crowd was there to watch our
team and to enjoy a half time game
between the eighth and seventh
grades, the latter winning by a score
of 7-0.
The Mustang's first home game
was a great success, not only in the
league standings but also financially.
Ihe Heppner lighter but more
powerful line out-fought the Condon
line all afternoon. The local squad;
nao. a net gam of 148 yards to the
visitors' 32 yard gain. Condon
coudn't seem to get a pass over right
half, Barratt, who intercepted two of
their nine passes. Snow also had an
interception to his credit The Hepp
ner team attempted nine passes and
comleted three for a short net gain
of only eight yards. The showing of
the Mustang line was a total of nine
first downs to the Red Devils' three,
all of which came in the first half.
Heppner's tall, lanky center, Don
fcvans, out-punted Fatland of Con
don by a sum of two yards. Both
teams' averages were 29 and 27 yards,
respectively. Heppner seemed, to be
somewhat on the larger end of the
penalties, having a total of 60 yards
to their opponents 25 yards.
' The first score came in the first
period when left half, Hugh Craw
ford, sprinted around the end for a
twenty yard gain and a touchdown.
Crawford again in the second quar
ter scored from the Condon nine on
a similar play. Roy Pettyjohn scor
ed Heppner's third score in the same
period on a short line drive over
center. The last touchdown came in
the third quarter when fullback,
Pettyjohn, again plunged to pay dirt.
