Arlington Narrowly
Defeats Mustangs
In First Grid Game
Last Minute Stand
By Locals Stayed by
Gun; Score, 19-13
Heppner came near dragging a
victoiy from the gridiron fire against
Arlington on the local field Friday
afternoon. With the score 19-13,
and a minute to play, they had the
ball on Arlington's 13 -yard line, but
two attempts failed and the gun sav
ed the day for the invaders.
It was all Arlington's game in the
first half, as the Honkers twice put
the ball across Heppner's goal line
for touchdowns, but each time fail
ing to convert. The locals came
back in the second half and turned
the tide. Bullet passes by diminu
tive Doug Provo into the the wait
ing arms largely of Ken Hoyt and
Billy Scrivner, and hard line bucks
and beautiful line skirting by Jim
Barratt netted Heppner two touch
downs and one conversion to make
the score 13-12 before Arlington
could again get under way.
It was well along in the last quar
ter when Colosso and Strohm, the
hard hitting Arlington backs final
ly got the third Arlington tally and
conversion for extra point that gave
them the game.
Penalties were about even, with
Lyle Eddy and Ladd Sherman, both
of Irrigon, handling the field offi
rialine. Lt. Fields was head lines
man and Norbert Peavy did the
timekeeping for the locals.
Heppner emerged with two casu
alties, John Lane and Ken Hoyt who
will not be in the starting lineup
when the Mustangs journey to Pen
dleton next Saturday to meet the
Bucks' second string. Coach Lyle
Swenson is encouraged by the fav
orable progress indicated in the Ar
lington game, however, and expects
the boys to give a good account of
themselves.
Starting against Arlington were
Bill Snow le, Claude Drake lt, John
Lane lg, Pete Christenson c, Kay
Ferguson rg, Hubert Wilson rt, Bill
Scrivner re, Jim Barratt lh, Billy
Padberg rh, Doug Provo q, James
Kenny fb.
Claud Snow, fullback, was pre
vented from starting the game by
an injured foot, but saw action in
the last half. Other substitutions
included Raymond Parrish and D.
Jones.

! Forest Restrictions
Removed in Week
Effective September 19, the state
forester removed the restrictions
which required campfire permits, no
smoking while traveling and carry
ing fire tools for the forest areas of
Oregon. This action was possible
because , of the generally favorable
conditions existing throughout most
of the state. The restriction against
trawl in thf Kinzua area was also
j revoked as of September 11.
Carl Ewing. supervisor of the Um
atilla national' forest, advises that
although fire permits are no longer
reauired, a few days of wind and
sunshine will again create a forest
fire hazard and requests the coop
eration of all hunters in fully ex
tinguishing their camp fires and in
having in their outfits the shovel,
axe and water bucket usually re
quired at this season. He also re
quests that all hunting parties co
operate with the forest service by
leaving clean camping spots.

Though probably in lesser num
bers than for any of the last sever
al years, a large influx of hunting
cars headed into the local woods
with the opening of the deer hunt
ing season last Saturday. Sunshiny
weather prevailing since the open
ing has led to enjoyability of the
sport, and a large kill was made the;
first few days.
The first buck coming into town
was that, of Dick Wilkinson, placed
in cold storage shortly after noon of
the opening day.
The first hundred percent party
reported was that composed of Dave
Wilson, Lou Bisbee, Luke Bibee,
Harlan McCurdy, Gene Ferguson

Farm Loan Savings
Plan Given Borrowers
Morrow county farmers who have
Federal Land bank loans not only
can protect their future, but make
a profitable investment by payS
in to a new future payment fund
plan inaugurated by the bank, W.
Vawter Parker, Heppner, secretary
treasurer of the National Farm Loan
association serving Morrow county,
announced this week. In addition,
Parker said, such funds will make
a real contribution to national de
fense. Such future payment funds are
deposits against future loan install
ments, and interest, Parker said.
They are designed specifically to
protect the farmer against future
lean years. Such funds will not be
applied on the loan until the farm
er so instructs the land bank, unless
by some mischance he is unable to
make his regular payments, in which
case the deposit would be applied
automatically.
Future payment funds will draw
interest at the same rate the farmer
pays on his mortgage loan, Parker
explained.
"A future pavment fund created
by farmers under this plan will
increase the amount available tor
the Federal Land bank to invest in
government securities," Parker point
ed out. That means that while tne
farmer is protecting his farm and
home for the future, and while his
investment is earning a good rate
of interest, his money at the same
time will be doing service for na
tional defense through reinvestment
by the land bank."
nresentlv reauire the expenditure of
all federal road funds and state
match money upon those highways
only that are necessary to the na
tion's defense or which serve a pri
mary defense industry. This ruling
puts all other state roads into the
discard until after the emergency,
said Judge Johnson, leaving little
hope of state or federal aid on roads
in Morrow county for some time to
come.
Mortgage Paying

office have been given impetus the
last few weeks by the county s lar

Real estate transactions, too, have
been in the ascendency. Recent pur
chases of farm tracts are shown to

He made his kill in the vicinity of
Shaw creek.
