33-6 Count Tells
Story of Heppner
Scoring Strength
Revealing a scoring attack not
neretofore in evidence in local
teams, the Heppner hich Mus
tangs overran the Condon Blue
Devils at Rodeo field last Friday
afternoon to win by a score of
to b. The Mustangs maintain
ed a fast pace throughout the
game, always lunging towards
me goal.
The hard driving attack of the
local boys resulted in numerous
injuries to the visitors, causing
some of their key men to be out
of the game a large part of the
ume. mis didn't keep Condon
from staying in the game right
up to the last second of play.
With the game going against
them, the Blue Devils kept right
on fighting, ever hopeful that a
break would come their way.
Coach Leonard Pate has his
boys playing the game his way
this season a possible advant
age in having an almost entire
ly new squad. They are good ball
handlers, execute their plays
with skill, and the backfield is
fast. Greenup is one of the most
effective ground gaining full
backs seen around here in re
cent years. Ployhar is a guard
that is rapidly gaining the re
spect of opposing teams, and Kil
kenny is virtually a flying tac
kle when it comes to stopping
plays or breaking up runs. Pad
berg, Rippee, Hammaek and
Bergstrom were all In the pic
ture Friday, carrying the ball
and putting up stone wall de
fense. Bergstrom, new at the
game and a little slow in get
ting into motion, is anything but
slow when he gets going. He
made several runs for long gains.
East, at right end, made several
tackles that stopped the Condon
drive for yardage.
Coach Pate made numerous
substitutions in the final quar
ter but this didn't slow his
team's drive.
Halfback Glen Dcvln was Con
don's best ground gainer, but he
suffered an Injury which kept
him out part of the time. Hud
dleston was taken out in the
first quarter but got back In la
ter. LEAVING FOR PORTLAND

Trip To Moose Country
Worthwhile Tho' Luckless
By Ruth Payne :
Dr. A. D. McMurdo and his
son, Charles E. "Ted" McMurdo
of Portland, returned to Heppner
the first of the week following
a hunting trip to Canada. In
Sardls, B. C, they visited with
their relatives, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Storey, and from there
continued into the Kamloops
territory where most of the hunt
ing was done. According to Dr.
McMurdo, this is very rugged
and primitive country and it is
necessary to employ a guide for
trips into these mountains. Bo
cause of limited time for hunt
ing and the fact that the man
they had hired previously for
guide work was unable to ac
company them after they had
reached this district, they did not
bag a moose to bring home. De
spite this, however, Dr. McMur
do reports a very interesting and
worthwhile trip in that the scen
ery was magnificent and they
saw various big game animals
during the hunt.
Mrs. Anabel Allison and daugh
ters, Jo and Jan, returned to
their home in Portland Monday
following an extended visit here

returning to Heppner Sunday af
ternoon. The local team met up
with some stiff competition in
livestock Judging from some of;
the other high schools, and while
they did not win any of the
judging events, they felt the
trip worthwhile and were im
pressed by the fine livestock on
display at the exposition.
Lack Of Licenses
Brings Fines To
Several Drivers
Overlooking the importance of
having their drivers' licenses re
newed cost two Morrow county

Monday when state police set up

fluence of Intoxicating liquor.
Charles Kleveland got the bad
end of the argument when he
resisted arrest by the former ar
my policeman. Harold C. Ed

Question Of Road Refunding
Agitates Farm Bureau Group
To bond or not to bond seems
to be the issue agitating farm
ers and other taxpayers of the
county in considering the finan
cing of road funds. The issue was
discussed last week at the regu -
lar meeting of the Morrow coun
ty farm bureau but no decision
was reached by that group and
the matter is still under study
by the special road funding
committee appointed during the
summer.
Sentiment appeared about
equally divided on the matter of
voting a bond issue and financ
ing the road funds by direct tax
ation on a pay-as-yau-go basis.
It was unanimously agreed,
however, that eventual payment $1,065. Office supplies requisi
for roads and equipment would tions, stationery, etc. $101. Lum
be by taxation. ber for bridges and culverts, $12,-
Failure to pass the budget last
spring has placed the county on
an emergency basis so far as
road work is concerned. The re-
suit is that road work is at a
standstill. The county no longer
has a road crew, supplies are low,
and equipment is in poor condi-
tion.
Slash In Federal
Aid Reduces Work
In Conservation
"Naturally, with less assist
ance from the federal govern
ment we can expect less conservation,-
but every effort should
be made to get the most conser
vation possible for the funds we
have," says Henry Baker, chair
man of the Morrow county agri
cultural conservation committee.
Under the 1948 program, far
mers will have more leeway in
adapting program practices to lo
cal needs. The provision for a
local practice not included in the
national outline will be contin
ued this year. Last year funds
for this practice were limited to
10 percent of the county alloca
tion. There are now no such lim
its. This year the county com
mittee may also select a prac
tice from the national outline
but which is not in the state
handbook. This will mean two
local practices instead of one.
Small farmers will be favored
under the 1948 program, for al
though conservation funds have
been cut in half, payments to
individual farmers are limited
to 500. This means less of the
county allocation will be going
to large operators, and the avail
able funds will therefore go to
assist small operators. Farmers
should begin now to lay plans
for carrying out conservation
practices under the 1948 pro
gram. In general, assistance
through the program will con
tinue to be about 50 percent of
the cost of the practice. Farmers
are asked to talk their plans
over with members of the coun
ty committee or see community
committeemen, Baker advised.
The Bookworms club met Tu
esday evening at the Lucas
Place with Mrs. Lucy Peterson as
hostess. Mrs. James Thomson Jr.
reviewed the book, "Blue Buck
et Nuggets," by Kathleen De
Moss. Other members present
were Mrs. Cornett Green, Mrs.
Fred Parrish, Mrs. Frances Mit
chell, Mrs. Floyd Jones, Mrs. J.
O. Turner, Mrs. Edwin Dick, Miss
Lulu Hager and Miss Leta Hum
phreys. Joe Green arrived from Port
land this week to accompany
Cornett Green, Floyd Jones, How
ard Bryant, Paul Jones, Edwin
Dick and Marcel Jones on a hunt
ing trip into the mountains of
the John Day region.
Mrs. Milton Morgan of lone
was a business visitor in Hepp
ner the first of the week.
Mr. and Mrs." Floyd Worden,
John Bergstrom and son Gerald,

(U. A, Public Health Srow fhoto)
These workers are linod up for their chest X-rays to make sure
that they haven't tuberculosis. Periodic chest X-rays, to And TB before
its outward symptoms are apimrent, are advocated by tuberculosis
associations. The campaign ot the associations against the disease Is
supported by the sale ot Christmas Seals.
Some idea of the amount of
money needed for one year's op
eration may be gained from fig
ures given by Judge Bert John
son when discussing the road
, situation at the June Pomona
grange meeting. The figures
were taken from the records and
will be expressed in approxim
ate numbers here.
The county had $75,000 to use
on road work in 1946. Of this
amount, $16,000 was used in
purchase and repair of tires and
repairs to equipment. Gas and
oil, including diesel, cost $7,200.
Shop .tools and supplies about
$.t00. Accident insurance, in-
eluding state Industrial accident.
000, including $5,000 for gravel.
Miscellaneous items lights, wa-
ter, truck rental, etc. and repairs
on lone-Gooseberry road, $1,200.
Labor $34,000 for 11 months.
The budget was overrun by
$10,000 which had to be paid out
of the 1947 fund. In addition,
the new county shovel cost $10,-

Health Exam
486.50. The road sinking fund
for machinery, road work and
maintenance amounted to $45,
000 at the end of the war. The
six percent tax limitation caus
ed a reduction of the estimated
$55,000 road fund to $30,000,
making a total of $75,000 for the
year. Commitments on equip
ment and other items this year
exhausted much of the road fund
coming from regular sources,
leaving only a relatively small
fund for maintenance work.
Faced with this situation the
citizens must decide which course
to pursue vote a bond issue and
build roads for the future or con
tinue on a pay-as-you-go basis,
building a few miles each year.
O. W. Cutsforth was re-elected
president and Oscar Peterson,

Sportsmanship Is
Regular Part Of
Athlete's Training
Athletes should be taught to
win as part of their training, but
teaching sportsmanship is an
important part of a coach's Job,
too, in the opinion of Supt. Hen
ry Tetz. The young athletes
should be taught to win as an
incentive for training, and they
will be better athletes by learn
ing to win in a sportsmanlike
manner Win or lose, sportsman
ship is a valuable asset to the
players, the school and the com
munity, Tetz told some 30 early
rising Heppner folk last Friday
morning at the kick-off break
fast for the home football sea
son at the Elkhorn restaurant.
Francis Nickerson emceed at
the breakfast and called upon
Garnet Barratt to recite some of
the difficulties with which foot
ball teams of earlier days had
to contend with. Barratt took
most of his time telling about a
trip the high school football team
made to Moro in 1917. This was
prior to highway days and the
going was rough for cars that
attempted to negotiate the rocky
route connecting the two towns.
The Heppner boys arrived there
too late to play the game on the
date scheduled but the Moro
folks were accommodating and
they played the following day.
Although Heppner was beaten on
the football field, the boys man
aged to strike up acquaintances
with the Moro girls, which brot
about complications with the
girls at home.
Leonard Pate never predicts
victory. He may venture so far
as to say that when the game is
called his boys will be right out
there fighting, but he won't drop
any "info" for the benefit of the
betting public. The coach gave
a brief resume of his squad and
before he was through it was
plainly evident that he placed
much confidence in the boys to
make a good showing this year.
Gordon Grady gave a brief re
sume of the Softball season be
fore presenting the cup to Bill
Blake, manager of the American
Legion team. Grady also stated
that the Junior chamber of com
merce will present a plaque to
the student displaying the most
outstanding sportsmanship.

American Woman In Austria
Appeals for War Orphan Aid
Merlie Gilliam of Corvallis
has forwarded to Mrs. E. E. Gil
liam of Heppner a copy of the
following letter written to Miss
Ruth Hilborn by her sister, Mrs.
Hubert S. Miller, who is a col
onel's wife now stationed in Aus
tria. The leter follows:
Kum, would you and your
friends or church groups like to
do one of the kindest and most
desperately needed good deeds
of your life? Over here it is
heartbreaking to see the plight
of the children, and especially of
the little warorphans. They have
nothing. The women who take
care of them have nothing and
no way to get anything. A lit
tle scrap of left-over woolen ma
terial is a godsend to them that
brings tears into their eyes. A
pencil can thrill a little under
nourished child into wide-eyed
silence. A scrap of soap, a dog
eared picture book, a box of era
yons, a pair ot worn shoes, a
shabby little sweater, a pair of
whole socks, anything at all is
desperately needed. If you and
your friends would like to pro
duce happiness all out of pro
portion to the gift, you could
send me a box. I will take it to
one of the orphanages myself
and I'll write and tell you the
name or your orphanage and the
names of the children and tell
you how they looked and what
they said and did.
If your friends would look
through old boxes and drawers
they might come across pieces
of material left from things they
have made. Anything warm and

Deer Season Near
Ending; Hunters
Prepare For Birds
Waterfowl Slated
21st, Pheasants
And Quail 22nd
While there remain four more
days in the current deer season,
hunters are looking forward to
the opening of the waterfowl sea
son Tuesday, October 21, follow
ed by the pheasant and valley
quail season on Wednesday, Oct.
22. The migratory waterfowl
season opens at noon and the
pheasant-quail shooting starts
one-half hour before sunrise.
While the deer season did not
open too auspiciously In this sec
tion, numerous carcasses have
been seen coming Into town the
past few days, indicating that
the change in the weather has
boosted the hunters' chances.
The deer season will close Oct
20.
The pheasant season will ex
tend to Nov. 9 in Malheur coun
ty but only to Nov. 2 in Douglas,
Coos, Josephine, Jackson, Klam
ath, Deschutes, Crook, Hood Riv
er, Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam,
Wheeler, Morrow, Umatilla, Un
ion, Wallowa, Baker, Grant, Har
ney and Lake counties, except
Summer Lake valley. The bag
limit is three cocks a day but
not more than 10 in possession
or in any seven consecutive days.
Ducks and geese may be hunt
ed through Nov. 3 during the
first period and then again from
Dec. 23 to Jan. 5. Bag limit for
ducks is four a day but not more
than eight in possession, includ
ing not more than one wood
duck at any time. Up to five
geese may be taken in a day
provided at least three are snow
geese. Not more than two of the
five may be Canada geese, white
fronted geese on brant The pos
session limit for geese is the

The game commission is oper
ating two waterfowl public shoot
ing grounds this year in Lake
county, the department-owned
Summer Lake management area
and the Chewaucan Marsh area
leased from the Chewaucan Cat
tle and Land company. Water
fowl hunters are required to pay
a fee of $2 daily in addition to
their hunting license to hunt on
either of these two areas. This
fee partially helps to pay the
cost of administration.
Federal regulations require all
hunters 16 years of age or over
to possess a migratory waterfowl
stamp costing $1, which may be
purchased at post offices. Hunt
ers are asked to buy their stamps
at their home post offices, since
the small post offices in vicinity
of Summer Lake are not furnish
ed with a large supply of duck
stamps.

Goodness! If I could get into
our things in storage I would
find a hundred things of no val
ue to me, which would bring
tears of Joy to people over here.
Everything can be used. A
handful of odd safety pins, nee
dles, thread, hooks and eyes,
snaps, zippers, etc., would be
priceless treasure over here odd
buttons bits of pretty paper to
wrap things in and pretty string.
Pretty ties that boys have out
grown, pencils, cravons, drawing
paper or cutouts for children.
Soap, and worn out bath towels
cut up and hemmed into wash
cloths.
It's hard to think of all the lit
tle things that one could put
into a box. but anything Is ap
preciated over here. A candle or
two, for cold dark nights when
there is no electricity, any old
woolen materials that have
shrunk and could be cut down
for smaller folk. It wouldn't be
necessary for anyone to buy any
thing new. Even soft rags are
scarce for cleaning. We don't
have any fur ourselves and I
have to cut up good bath towels
to use for scrubbing.
I will take personally any
packages that I receive from you
and your friends and will add
candy and some food from here,
myself, and see that they get to
the most needy cases. Address:
