Wheat B ins Slated
For Auction Block
Morrow county agricultural con
servation association is writing the
final chapter in one of its stories of
helpfulness to the farm communi
typroviding storage for the back
log of wheat created by war em
ergency, said Henry Baker, presi
dent, this week
Starting the chapter this week
was the immediate offering at bid
sale of all remaining storage bins in
Morrow county. Bids are being re
ceived at the county office, on any
under the association's control in
quantity,' thus making available to
the public material that may be
found usable in many ways, should
the bins not be desired for farm
storage.
Some of the bins, with little al
teration, would serve adequately as
workshop, garage, or hunting cab
in, Baker pointed out, thus adding
to their community service at a
i time when materials are scarce.
Heppner Gazette Times, October 18, 19455
Mustangs Hold . . .
Continued irom jnrst Face
who streaked over for' the score.
The conversion failed and the score
stood Condon 6, Heppner 0.
Taking Condon's kickoff, the
Mustangs quickly recovered and
marched down the field with Con
nor finally skirting end for a
touchdown. The try for point was
good and Heppner led at the half
7 to 6.
Condon's second scoring oppor
tunity came in the third quarter
when with fourth down and seven
yards to gain for a first down on
their own forty-five, the Heppner
quarterback attempted to run the
ball and Condon took possession on
downs. From there he Blue Dev
ils fought their way to the Mus
tang's fifteen. Once again, as in
previous games, the Mustang's
weakness on pass defense proved
costly as Wilkens, Condon back,
dropped back and rifled a pass to
a waiting receiver standing clear
in the end zone. This time the con
version was successful and Condon
was again out in the lead 13 to 7.
With the start of the last quar
ter and in their own territory, the
Mustangs again stubbornly start
ed for the Condon goal. Slowly
they advanced with Archie Pad
berg, Heppner fullback, plunging
the line, and "Skip" Connor run
ning the ends until they reached
the Condon 20. At this point Pad
berg burst through the Condon
line, bowled over a would-be
tackier as he broke into' the clear,
and dashed over into pay dirt for
the tying score. Heppner's try for
(point failed and with it the chance
to win, the game ending in a 13-13
deadlock.
Thi'i Friday the Mustangs jour
ney to Arlington to meet the Arl
ington Honkers, a perenially tough
opponent for Heppner. The Honk
er wide-open, passing offense will
put the Mustangs to the acid test.
Championship hopes for the Hepp
ner eleven rest entirely on their
ability to get over Arlington.
