Mustangs Drop Hot One to Honkers WHEAT LEAGUE STANDINGS L 0 2 2 3 Condon 3 Heppner 2 Arlington 2 Fossil 0 Heppner's Mustangs lost a thrill er to the Honkers Friday evening on the Arlington floor, taking the short end of a 39-37 score. Behind 25-14 at halftime, the Mustangs went into a scoring spree to tie the game up in the middle of the final quarter, only to lose by a margin of two free throws Arlington started the game by hitting the hoop from every angle while the Mustanes tried to kn up, but finally let the winners hold a f!rst uarter l2'l ond quarter was a renlica of the first with Clough, McClaskey and Scoggins definitely "hot" as Arl ington went way out in the lead with an 11-point margin. It looked like a rout for the Mus tangs, but the visitors began get ting into the spirit of things and dropping baskets to climb within seven points of the lead. Bill Ul sich, sub guard, showed the Honk ers a lesson in hitting howitzers as he canned four consecutive baskets to tie up the gamo 37-all with three minutes to play. The Honkers plunked in a couple of foul shots in the closing minutes to put the game on ice. High scorers for Arlington were McClaskey with 14 points and Clough with 10 Barratt and Ulrich led Mustang scorers with 13 and eight points. Friday the Mustangs will be out to upset the league-leading Condon Blue Devils who are playing here. lhe lineups: Heppner 37 39 Arlington 14 McClaskey 9 Scoggins Weatherford 10 Clough 2 Clark 4 Bowman Barratt 13 Bothwell 7 Drake 4 Shideler 3 Kenny 2 Ulrich 8 Parrish F F C G G S S Presentation of Awards Made Here Continued from First Pace fense council and faithful worker in gathering and loading scrap; Walter Bristow, director of the drive in the lone djction; Tom Wil son,located and aided bringing in of heavy machinery; Donald Strait, agriculture instructor at Heppner school, directed FFA scrapiron campaign; T.

Finney stated that the salvage program embras four major pro jectsscrap metal, kitchen fats, silk stockings and tin cans. The fact that there are vast piles of scrapiron yet unmoved from the various depots does not mean that the metal is no longer needed or that there will be no more collect ing until they are moved.

The materials will be shipped just as fast as con verting plants can handle them.

Mrs. Brown recently returned from the oast where she spent several days with Mr. Brown at a training station. Behind the Scene At Salem Continued from First Face truck people have asked for a big ger truck than usual, having gone up from 68,000 pounds to 71,000. In Idaho there is an 84,000 pound bill which is going to raise hob with the idea of equality again, if passed Maybe the federal government will have to establish the limit instead of the states. This is a most conservative le gislature. There are few, if any who are radicals, or even few who would agree to any sweepiing change in anything. Thy prefer to patch and amend on minor mat ters instead of making corrective measures inclusive enough to en tirely encompass any situation. Perhaps the people want little change in these war times and maybe that is best.' However, it is refreshing to have some one around who believes that some major op erations are desirable on major ills. Best chance of having any big change in state matters comes from the school bill which is still in the committee on taxation and revenue awaiting amendment that will make it acceptable. It has been rewrit ten by the teachers' committee un til there were few lines remaining of the bill passed by the people The sense remained the same, however. Then it was rewritten again by a sub-committee of the house education committee and the teachers. This operation made it clearer and more definite. Now it is awaitinig the action of the tax ation committee which may do more work on it. It has been proposed that if the state is going to adopt the general policy of putting state collected money into school districts it has. the duty to see that that money is well spent, just the same as it has apportions to the state institutions the duty to see that the money it from it. What form it may take is well spent. Something may come cannot be prophesied at least by this source but it may result iin some school changes that will be desirable from the point of organi zation and efficiency. ST RAM OPTICAL CO.
