Mustangs Smother
Bulldog Pack in
Armistice Fracas
Heppner Displays
Power in Winning
Grid Classic 33-0
By Bob Mollahan
Coach Leonard Pate's high pow
ered Heppner Hi grid eleven turn
ed in a sterling performance as
they gained a 33-0 shutout victory
over the Hermiston Bulldogs in
their annual Armistice day classic.
The large holiday crowd of chilled
spectators was completely stunned
by the sheer power of the Mustang
vistory machine.
The once potentate and still
classy Hermiston squad showed
few flashes of their old power as
they were stopped cold during
most of the game by an alert and
hard charging Heppner tern.
The Bulldogs' power plays off
the quick opening T formation, in
fact their whole ground attack,
was rudely shifted into low by the
Mustang's savage like defensive
wall.
Heppner recovered a blocked
Bulldog punt on Hermiston's own
10 yard line when the game was
but three plays old to set their
tallying machine in position. Lowell
Rippee shot a pass to Jack Parrish
in the end zone, three plays later,
to hit the first jackpot for Hepp
ner. Tom Hughes poweredd over
for the extra point.
The Hermiston squad was again
knocked back on its heels when
quarterback Lowell Rippce romp
ed to pay dirt following a sus
tained scoring drive from mid
field later on in the opining per
iod. Though Tom Hughes didn't
convert, a penalty against Her
miston, by a new ruling, automat
ically added the extra point to
Heppner's score.
In the second canto Duane Gen
try, Mustang's alert left end, in
tercepted a Hermiston lateral and
dashed the remaining 10 yards for
the third score. Jack Parrish skirt
ed end for the extra point.
Half time score: Heppner 21;
Hirmiston, 0.
During the third stanza Heppner
marched down to Hermiston's door
step following a succession of first
downs. From- there jarring Tom
Hughes battered over for the T.D.
Try for extra point failed.
Coach Pate began to substitute
freely but not before Jack Parrish
put the finishing touches on by
bouncing over for the final tally.
Try for conversion failed.
Final score: Heppner 33; Her
miston, 0.

Move In Obtaining
Hospital Plans To Be
Taken Here Tomorrow
A move in the direction of ob
taining plans for the Morrow coun
ty general hospital will be taken
here tomorrow when a representa
tive of a firm of architects in Port
land will go over the site and
confer with the special committee
delegated by the hospital commis
sion, namely the county court and
Ralph Thompson.
Coming of the architect does not
mean that early construction of the
hospital is in prospect, county offi
cials state. It is a step towards
getting lintd up on the type of
building and possible expense of
construction. It will require many
months to accomplish preliminary
details and in the meantime it is
hoped labor and materials will be
more plentiful and less expensive.
"I believe it is the obligation of
the court and the hospital commit
tee to get the greatest value possi
ble for the money expended," Judge
Bert Johnson said. "At present

OPA Price Control
Shifted to Portland
With the closing of the price con
trol board at Pendleton, serving'
the counties of Grant, Morrow and
Umatilla. Harry S. Dorman, district
price executive, gave the following
information as to te conduct of
OPA business in the future.
Trade and consumer inquiries
about price control formerly hand
led by price control boards should
be addressed to the OPA distric of
fice in Portland.
Certificates of transfer covering
salts of used passenger automobiles
may be obtained from principal au
to dealers. Dealers should request
additional supplies from the OPA
regional mail center at San Fran
cisco, Cat.
Sugar rationing has been admin
istered from the district office since
last January. In the future, sugar
forms required by the trade and
consumers may be obtained from
the district office.
Pending compliance actions by
the board will be transferred to
the district office.
The local board office was closed
jf public business
on November 4. However, the paid
clerical personnel will continue on
duty during the month of Novem
ber in order to transfer records to
the district office and to perform
the many other duties involved in
closing the board.
As in the past, supervision of
rent control will be administered by
the Pendleton area rent office.
The volume of liquid fuel shipp
ed overseas in the last year by the
Navy and the Merchant Marine
was approximately 16 times that of

came to keep house for Mr. Ha

had planned to go home this week
but her grandson at Snohomish

remain here until it is safe to
return home.

material prices and high labor costs
the money would go about 50 per
cent as far as it should. I believe
we will be justified in coasting
along until there is a leveling off."
The architect coming to look over
the local situation is a member of
the firm that designed the Seaside
municipal hospital which was fin
ished the past summer. The court
and committee have been studying
this hospital and may eventually
adopt a similar type. It is a one
and one-half story building of
about 26 to 30 patient capacity. It
is estimated that the Morrow coun
ty hospital should be about that
size and the court hopes to learn
more detail of construction and op
eration from the visiting architect.
It must be remembered that the
court and committee are not com
mitted to any particular type of
building and a study will be made
of different types before a decision
is reached.
League of Oregon
Cities To Seek More
State Tax Money
Members of the League of Oregon
Cities in meeting at Pendleton
Wednesday evening learned that
the league will press for more
funds from state tax sources to be
distributed among cities of Oregon.
Sources to be tapped would be the
state highway fund and the state
liquor control fund.
At present the cities receive five
percent of the highway fund. They
will ask for 15 percent. They also
would like a ten percent cut out of
the liquor control revenues to help
pay the policing bill which arises
from the sales of liquor. Heppner,
for instance, gets about $135 a year
from the liquor revenue, which
does not equal the wages of one
policman for one month.
League experts estimate that 18
percent of the travel by cars and
trucks buying gasoline in a com
munity passes over streets that are
not maintained or partially main
tained by the highway commission.
They feel that the towns should
receive more of this gasoline tax to
enable them to repair and maintain
thisA streets. With a five percent
cut, Heppner receives about $3,000
annually for repairs. Three times
that amount would make it possible
to meet most of the street prob
lems. Attending the meeting from
Heppner were Mayor J. O. Turner,
Councilman L. D. Tibbies, and three
newly-elected town officials, Con
ley Lanham, mayor-elect and Fran
cis Nickerson and O. M. Yeager,
Mayor George Stadelman of The
Dalles, presidnt of the League of
Oregon Cities, presided. Oth-r offi
cials attnding were Herman Kehrli,
manager, and Virgil Langty, attor
ney.

Canadians. Hear Normal Basis
Now. Fear Inflation Later
Canadians, living almost a nor

as post-war conditions will permit,
are fearful that inflation will set
in in about 18 months. That's the
report brougt back to the States
by Charles Hodge, who with Mrs.
Hodge returned from a wedding
trip the past week end, part of
which was spent in Canada.
"I was told that Canada usually
trails the United States about 18
months to two years in economic
changes and they fully expect pri
ces to go skyward early in 1948,"
Hodge said.
At present there seems to be
plenty of everything except aut

that our northern neighbors arc

was prior to 1941. For instance
