Rhea Creek Grange Honors Couple on 60th Wedding Date Saturday was a happy occasion for Mr. and Mrs. Ben Buschke. It not only was the 60th anniversary of their marriage, it brought to gether all members of their .aii'.i.y as well. Their 11 sons and daugh ters and 17 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren were counted among the 70 or more people who assembled at the Rhea Creek grange hall to do honor to the venerable couple. The women of Rhea Creek grange did themselves proud in preparing the turkey dinner for the honored guests and their family. To use a common phrase, they didn't spare the hosses. To Mrs. Buschke it was akin to something out of this world to sit down to a sumptuous feast with her family and not have a thing to do with preparation and serving of the meal. In fact, it was not their party they were merely the honored guests. Besides the grand dinner, the hon ored guests were the recipients of numerous gifts and remembrances. Mrs. Buschke was quite overcome With all the nice things done for her and in thanking the grange and U present for their thouglitfulness she told them that when it was time for them to observe their 60th anniversaries she would do as much for them. Mr. Buschke was a railroader back in 1886 when on October 26 he led Adelina Bartell to the altar of a little log church at Sielvangrove, Kansas. The young couple remain ed in Kansas until 1892 when they came to Oregon and Mr. Buschke took up a homestead on the hill above the confluence of the Jolin Day and Columbia rivers in Sher man county. Although the railroad passed nearby, living conditions were rugged and neighbors scarce, Uie nearest being three miles dis tant The most frequent callers they had were tramps who would climb the steep hill to get a bite to eat something Mrs. Buschke never relused to provide. Physicians were scarce, too, and most of the 12 Buschke children were brought into Uie world by the aid of midwives. Disposing of the homestead Mr. Buschke moved his family to Mor row county where he took up wheat ranching. He related that hail al most wiped him out twice but in 1916 he came out in the char and from that time on he and Mrs. Continued on Pagetiix News Briefs Mrs. Florence Dalzell of Condon was a Heppner business visitor Fri day.

Charging Mustang Backs Gallop Over Hermiston Bulldogs Heppner Eleven Wins Tough Game By Score of 12-6 Harder charging backs and a su perior line spi lled the reason why, as the Heppner Mustangs scored an upset victory over the Hf rmiston BUldogs at Hermiston, Frfday. Glenn Coxen, Heppner's star cen ter recovered a Hermiston fumble in the latter part of the opening canto on the Bulldogs' 20-yard line to put the Mustangs in position for their first score. On the first play Tom Hughes, Mustang left half back, skirted around end for nine yards before he was brought down on the Bulldogs' 11-yard line. On the following play agile Clarence Greenup, Mustang quarterback, smashed over for the touchdown. Try for conversion failed. Throughout the second quarter neither eleven penetrated to a spot close enough to score, and both squads failed to make any sort of a consistent march. The quarter consisted mostly of a punting duel between Leo Keller of Hermiston and Lowell Rippee for the Mus tangs. Rippee booted the pigskin 60 yards on one occasion. Scere at half-time: Hermiston 0, Heppner 6. Randall Peterson, Heppner's cap tain and left tackle, started the sec ond half by booting the ball to the Hermiston 10-yard line. Hermis ton's Frank Myriik ran it back to Uie Hermiston 33-yard line. On the second down of the third period Hermiston fumbled and Jack Par rish, rangy Mustang end, recovered on the Bulldog's 30-yard line. Four plays later Tom Hughes skirted end for 12 yards and the second Hepp ner touchdown. The Mustangs fail ed to make the extra Point. It was a set -saw battle for the rest of the third quarter up til within a minute and a half of the final gun, when the Bolldogs block ed and recovered a Mustang punt on the Heppner 29-yard line. Her miston smashed down to the Mus tang's 7-yard line on the first play. On the second down Leo Keller fired a pass to Bob Phelps, Bull dog end, for the score. Frank My rick breezed around end for the conversion. The game ended quickly following the kick-off. Around Town Mrs. Stella Bailey is spending the week here looking after business intrests.

Losf of income to small farmers Vote To Save Our American Way of Life, Speaker at C. of C. Luncheon Advises If America as we know it is to be preserved, the people will have to switch horses In Tuesday's elec tion. That, in brief, was the advice issued by Jerry Saylor to the lun cheon group of the chamber of commerce Monday noon at the Lu cas Place. Saylor, member of the state pub lic employment retirement board, filled in with an impromptu talk when introduced as a guest at the meeting. He stated that he is a re publican and as such believes in the constitutional form of govern ment established by the founders of this nation and that as a plain cit izen he has seen the constitution badly manhandled by a group that has sought to dispense with rep resentative government and substi tute therefor a government by bu raucracy. Plain Economics Caused Meat Lack, Lindgren Contends Oregon livestock producers have not been creating a meat shortage by withholding fat cattle and hogs from the market in anticipation of higher prices, declares H. A. Lind gren, O. S. C. extension animal hus bandman. The basic trouble with the meat situation has been a dis parity between prices of feed grains and the price of livestock, the spe cialist states. The controlled grain prices have been too high to encourage feeding, Lindgren explains. Grass-fat cat tle have gone to market at the normal time this fall. Feedlots, however, were not filled prior to the removal of price ceilings on cattle. From three to five months will be required to finish cattle for market now going on feed. Yearling steers require about 100 days of feeding, during which they consume about 2,400 pounds of hay and 800 pounds of grain. Weaner calves require about 150 days feed ing, during which they eat about a ton of hay and a half-ton of grain. Cattle going on feed now will re plenish market supplies of fat stock beginning about the first of the year if livestock prices maintain a fair relationship to feed costs, the specialist concludes. The hog situation is similar, Lindgren adds. Oregon farmers need to sell 100 pounds of pork, live weight on the farm, for a price equivalent to 650 pounds of grain if they are to break even. This lull grain has been selling for three cents a pound, or more, meaning that an average price of 19'2 cents a pound for hogs on the farm has been neiessary for the feeder to avoid a loss. The hog ceiling was 17.2 cents. Hogs going on feed now will be ready for market in 60 to (0 days Reduced herds will limit Uie num ber of animals in feedlots tnis fall, however, and the greater share of the needed increase in fat hogs for market will have to come from next springs pig crep, Lindgren pnedicts. o ALICE I.ICH.K PETERSON LAID TO REST FRIDAY Graveside services were held Fri day afternoon in the Heppner Ma sonic cemetery for Alice Lucile Pet erson.

Some farmers and ranchers have called at Uie office to inquire about Uie relationship of feed and cattle prices and whether it is possible to profit from feeding out grass fat cattle for market For those of you who are interested, the following information may be of some value in planning your feeding operations. Yearling steers require about 100 days of feeding, during which they consume about 2400' pounds of hay and 800 pounds of grain. Weaner calves require about 150 days of feeding, during which time they eat about a ton of hay and a half-ton of grain. In the case of hogs, a farmer needs to tell 100 pounds of pork, live weight on Uie farm, for a price equivalent to 650 pounds of grain if they are to break even. This fall grain has been selling for three cents a pound or more, meaning that an average price of 19 1-2 cents a pound for hogs on the farm has been necessary for Uie feeder to avoid a loss. The hog ceiling was U2 cents. Hogs going on feed will be ready for market in 60 to 70 days. Reduc ed herds will limit Uie number in feed lots this fall, however, and the greater share of the needed increase in fat hogs for market will have to come from next spring's pig crop. The conservation tour held last Friday, October 25, was well at tended by farmers from Morrow and surrounding counties. Strip cropping, trashy fallow fields, con tour diversion ditches and stock ponds were observed and discussed. All farmers attending felt tlie trip very educational and worth the time spent. ... Morrow countv farmers are re minded that there is still plenty of thi fall to treat perennial weeds for control, using sodium chlorate. Weeds will not disappear without a well planned eradication program. Start your program this fall by applying sodium chlorate, then follow up with control prac tices until your weeds have been eradicated. Sodium chlorate is sold at cost by our office. 7 New Practices In 1947 AAA Guide ciairnn now nrsctices are included in the new Oregon handbook which lists 48 conservation practices lor imnrovini? the state's agricultural resources in 1947, announces E. Har vey Miller, chairman of the state pma Another feature of Uie 1947 program is Uie granting of increas ed authority to county ana com mnnitv AAA committeeman for adapting Uie program to local needs. Practices ottered tor uie iirsi tim. include contour farming of in- i.rtilloH rmns. contour furrowing of pasture land, deep subsoiling cropland, planting orchards and vineyards on the contour, and un inf, rarthpn reservoirs. Other practices remain suDstan eiMlv tha same as Uie 1946 pro gram, except for some revisions in payment rates and specilicauons. in ,i,Bral Miller said, payment rates will carry about half Uie cost of performing Uie practice, represent ing the aovernment's interest in conservation of Uie nation's basic resources. County committees will consult with community committeemen in selecting and modifying practices for Uie state handbook that wUl be offered in each county. In addition to the approved list of Oregon practices, each county committee m-v nffpr one practice of its own, developed to meet a specific local conservation need. Up to iu per cent of the county 'i practice funds may b used for the local practice. P-TA CALENDAR Nov. 2 Carnival and Potiuck Sup per. Nov. 6 Pre-school Study Group at William F. Barrett home.

HEAD GOP TICKET 4. 4 , r - , ' i I A'T r- Stockman for Congress Snell for Governor Farrell for Secretary of State Fall Term Court Held Here Friday Circuit court for Morrow countv was held Friday, Oct. 25, whep Judge Ralph S. Hamilton, appoint ed to serve during the illness o' Judge Calvin L. Sweek, presided. Civil matters claimed the attention of the court for Uie most part, there being but one indictment to act upon. The grand jury, in session for three day's, inspected Uie court house and brought in a recom mendation that the jail be equipped with new beds and bedding. Serv ing on the jury were John J. Wight- man, foreman; E. R. Schaffer, W. Howard Cleveland, Robert Grabill, Edward Rice, Paul Hisler and Franklin Ely. Three divorce cases were dispos ed of. Absolute divorce was grant ed Nina from Reese Burkenbine. Plaintiff was awarded custody of the three minor children. Dick McAllister was granted an absolute divorce from Marjorie Mc Allister. In the case of Marjorie Hughes vs. Arthur Hughes, the defendante was found in default, and Audrey Badley of John Day was appointed special referee to take and report testimony to be reported in this cause. Earl S. Hottman, indicted for non-support, pleaded guilty and Uie court laid down rules for his future conduct. HUNTERS TAKE OFF TO BAG SOME ELK MEAT Elk hunting is the order of the day and as usual Uie Gilliam bro thers and Ray Drake are out in the John Day breaks somewhere trying to bag their winter's me at. This year, with the war being over the shootin war, that Is the par ty has been expanded to include two ex-servicemen, Louis Gilliam and Douglas Drake. If each mem ber bags a bull elk there should be enough wild meat to last the fum ilies involved until next hunting season. To make it possible for their crew to enjoy the opening of the elk season, the Scritsnuier brothers closed down their sawmill Monday and Tuesday. Numerous other par ties have taken to the elk pastures despit Uie spell of winter weather prevailing Uie fore part of Uie week. St fif;. '"it Campaign Drawing lo Close Fails to Stir Much Interest More Controversy Over Measures Than Candidates Although important issues are at stake, both statewide and national ly, little interest has been shown in the campaign now drawing to a close, other than some controversy over Uie several measures on tlie Oregon ballot. Election of Repub lican candidates to the district and state offices apepars quite certain and the tendency over a large part of the country is in Uie same direc tion. Of the measures on the ballot, three have claimed Uie most atten tion th two school bills and Uie Little Townsend Plan. Some agi tation has been stirred up over the fish bills, particularly in the west ern part of Uie state, but little is heard about them in this vi-'inity. From all that can be ascertained locally, Governor Earl Snell will be out in the lead in Uie county, as well as the state. The same is true of Robert S. Farrell for secretary of state. Nationally, Uie retentioa of Lowell Stockman as congress man from the second district is as sured and word from Uie other dis tricts is encouraging relative to Ho mer Angell, Walter Norblad and Harris Ellsworth. This follows a na tional trend in leaning away from ' the New Deal and when Uie votes are counted Oregon should be safe ly in the Republican colum Henry Peterson and Giles French, both having combined Republican Democrat endorsemen1 have a pret ty fair chance of edging over Uie line and the same is true of county offices. L. W. Briggs, veteran treas urer, likely 'ixl poll the heaviest vote, although W. O. Dix, candidate for assessor, is popular and should draw a good vote. Ralph Thomp son hasn't conducted a house to house campaign for the office of county commissioner, but 'Tom my's' good qualities are well known and he will poll a good vote. Little interest has been shown in Uie city election and it is presumed that the names appearing on Uie ballot will constitute the new of ficials to take over Uie first of the year. Conley Lanham for mayor, LaVerne Van Marter for treasurer, E. R. Huston for recorder, and Dr. C. C. Dunham, Francis Nickerson and O. M. Yeager for councilmen. That's the ticket. Polling places for Tuesday's el ection will be the same as usual, with the exception of North Hepp ner, which will vote at the Braden building. PE Workshop Held Here Wednesday Schools of the county were dis missed Wednesday while teachers assembled at Heppner to attend a physical education workshop con ducted by specialists from the state department of education. Miss Dorotha Moore, regular state department physical education instructor and Claude Cook of the Bend school system, working under an emergency agreement with Uie state department, conducted the workshop which is designed to as sist teachers in arranging and car rying out the physical education work in the several schools.
