Mustangs Ready
For Play-off With
Condon Blue Devils
Three-way Tie Will Be
Broken at Arlington in
Pre-Toumament Encounter
The Heppner Mustangs are now
preparing for a play-off game with
the Condon Blue Devils Friday on
the Arlington floor. As the league
is in a three-way tie for top posi-
tion, a play-off is necessary in order
to pick a team to represent the
district 7B tournament held at Ar
lington the 25th to 27th of February.
The Arlington Honkers do not have
to enter the play:off as they are
the host team.
Th Mustangs are in the best con
dition they have been all season.
This was shown iin the way thsy
ran over the Fossil five by a 50 to
19 score, and the lone Cardinals
last Tuesday by a 55 to 17 count.
These games ran the victory string
up to 13 wins to 2 losses this season;
whether or not the number 13 will
prove lucky or unlucky to the Mus
tangs will be decided Friday night.
The Condon squad will be playing
their hardest as the Mustang fives
have kept them from going to the
district tournament the last two
years. Two years ago Heppner was
defeated in the semi-finals of the
tourney while last year they gained

The Mustangs had an easy time
running over the lone Cardinals
Tu::rday as they led 29 to 3 at half
time. Coach Swenson used substi
tutes very freely but still lone
could not keep up the pace. High
scorers were Mustang forwards, Ul
rich and Bothwell, with 18 and 13
points, and guard Barratt with 14
points. This was the last home game
cf the season.
Tax Status Muddled
Says Local Speaker
Oregon's tax situation is in a
muddle at present, according to
Mayor J. O. Turner, who outlined
two bills) pending before the legis
lature. One of these, H. B. 216,
vculd divert a certain percentage
cf the highway funds to the cities
and is sponsored by the League
cf Oregon Cities. H. B. 213. also a
leogue measure, would divert more
funds from the liquor revenues to
the cities. Since Heppner is inter
ested in both of these revenue
sources, the mayor devoted his time
to a brief discussion of their merits
before the Lions club Monday noon.
W. F. Pigg, deputy internal reve

Telephone Service
Hits All-Time High
Wartime demands for telephone
service on the home front and for
the armed forces reached all-time
peaks in 1942, according to the an
nual report to shareholders of the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, issued today by N. R.
Powley, president.
"The Pacific coast, predominantly
affected by the impact of the war,
experienced throughout 1942 an ex
pansion in governmental, industrial
and business activity unparalleled
in its history," President Powley de
its history," President Powley de
clared. "Servng as it does this stra
tegic section of the country, our
company gave its undivided atten
tion to the performance of its duty
to our nation's all-out war effort.
"As the year progressed," Powley
stated, "More and more materials,
in kind and quantity, vitally essen
tial to the i continued expansion of
our communication system 'went to
war.' Notwithstanding the marked
shortage and restricted use of ma
terials, the unprecedented volume
of telephone traffic, the stringent
necessity 'to do more with less to
do with,' and the many difficult
problems of administration and op
eration which the war has imposed,
our constant aim has been to con
duct our work that our steward
ship would at all times be reflect
ed in a service which met prompt
ly and effectively the full require
ments of the successful prosecution
of the war."

WORD OF APPRECIATION
We wish to thank our many
friends who have sent letters of
congratulation and telegrams ex
pressing joy in the knowledge that
Paul is alive. No mere words could
adequately express the deep joy
that we feel in knowing that some
day he will return to the home and
friends that he loved so well in eas
tern Oregon. However, our joy is
tempered by the fact that many
other brave and loyal lads will not
return.
Mr. and Mrs. Chris B. Brown

paid for. That is fair enough if any
one can write a good definition of
an occupatonal disease The em
ployer would like to have unem
ployment compensation amended to
bive them a better break but have
so far not been able to stick to
gether or to figure out any very
good way to help themselves. Last
session the workmen would have
been glad to change merit and this
time it is the employers. It de
pends who is doing well at the
moment.
The little stuff has been pretty
well cleaned up in the house, in
cluding the salary bills, the code
changes, the minor bills that con
cern one or more counties.
It looks as if the session could
be finished in a couple more weeks
if something does not intrude on
the regular tenor of legislative
ways. It is likely that something
will, but the urge to get back to
work, the urge to make a speedy
session in war time may have
enough effect that this session will
end in fifty days.
That is a very short time in
which to pass the legislative work
of an entire state for two years; it
is a short time in which legisla
tdrs are to study about the many
and manifold matters of state and
come to a decision on them.
