Hermiston Takes
Armistice Game
By Narrow Margin
Heppner Loses
First Game of Year
By 13-12 Score
The Heppner Mustangs tasted
defeat for the first time this year
at Hermiston on Armistice day
by the score of 13-12.
This Is the second time in
three years the Hermiston Bull
dogs have kept the Heppner
Mustangs from an undefeated
season.
Heppner got off to a poor start
and before the first quarter was
half over the score was 13-0
against them. It was then the
locals showed their true quality
Instead of folding as often hap
pens to football teams, they came
back and scored twice themselv
es, and, but for a little tough
luck, would have won the game.
The game started with Hepp
ner kicking to Hermiston. A
sleeper hugged the sideline and
a first down pass gained the
Bulldogs 40 yards. Two plays la
ter a nimble Hermiston back
threaded 30 yards through a bro
ken field to score. The try for
point was good.
Heppner received the next
kick-off and started the long
march down the field. Steady
gains with Greenup and Berg
strom doing most of the ball car
rying netted one first down af
ter another. The attack bogged
down on the Hermiston 18 and
the Bulldogs took over.
On the first play, a double re
verse cut a back loose for an 80
yard gain. Hammock got him
from behind on the Heppner 2
yard line. A quarterback sneak
gave Hermiston another touch
down. Their pass for extra point
was knocked down by Rippee.
On receiving the next kick-off
the locals again started a con
sistent drive down the field
which ended with Greenup driv
ing across from the 6. The try
for point failed.
Later in this second period
Sumners recovered a Hermiston
fumble on their 30, from where
Heppner drove to a first and1'
goal to go on the Hermiston one
yard line. A fumble resulting in i
a 10 yard loss spoiled this scor
ing chance, the fourth down leav
ing the ball 1 Vi yards from pay
dirt.
The second half was much like
the first. Hermiston was unable
to make any consistent gains,
but occasionally a back broke
loose for a long run. Heppner's
attack, on the other hand, con
sisted of a series of driving
smashes off tackle, which with
an occasional pass moved relent
lessly down the field. One of
these culminated in Greenup's
touchdown run around right end
from the three. The try for point
failed, leaving the locals one
point short. Hermiston retained
possession of the ball the re
maining two minutes of the ball
game.
Heppner men who saw action
were: Ends, East, Waters, Ruhl,
Allstott; tackles, Key, Kilkenny;
guards, Gabler, Ployhar, Gam
mell; centers, Sumners, Smith;
backs, Rippee, Greenup, Berg
strom, Hammock, Orwick.

Accomplishments Of Past And Plans
Recited By Director in Discussing School Situation
Accomplishments of the past
and plans for future develop
ment were recited by Harold
Becket, chairman of the school
board of district No. 1, in dis
cussing affairs of the local school
before the luncheon group of the
Heppner chamber of commerce.
The discussion was prompted by
the fact that this is National
Education week and Becket felt
that it was "proper to make some
kind of report to the public on
the progress, or lack of it, being
made In the local system.
The speaker read an editorial
from the Oregonian relative to
American Education week as an
introduction to his talk, the ar
tide containing some of the
points he wished to refer to.
"All school boards are up
against a multitude of problems,
not particularly more so than in
the past, but more so in that old
problems are making themselves
such nuisances that they are go
ing to have to be met squarely
and some solution made," Becket
said. "The school is a state in
stitution, because it is required
by state law and its functions
are defined by state law. A larger
part of the money for their op
eration is being supplied by the
state than ever before. Since It
Animal Diseases
Claim Attention
Of Livestock Group
Sub-Committee To
Offer Findings At
January Meeting
Morrow county's livestock sub
committee group of the Agricul
tural Planning Conference com
mittees met at the county court
room in Heppner on November
7 to begin work in preparation
for the county-wide planning ev
ent, which will be held in Jan
uary 1948. The livestock group
was the first of the six confer
ence sub-committees that will
prepare reports to meet.
Of great importance to the
livestock industry in Morrow
county was the disease problem,
it was found when discussions
were brought out by members
attending. Harold Erwin, Hepp
ner, brought up the question of
a Brucellosis testing program
that would serve the small live
stock operator as well as the
large operator. Mr. Erwln point
ed out that many families with
a milk cow or two are jeopard
izing the health of that family
because there is no way of test
ing the one or two cows found
on most of our farms. Dr. T. H.
Reed, assistant state veterinar-
arian, discussed with the group
possible solutions for the dis
ease problem in Morrow county
and the group will make their
recommendations when they
meet for their second committee
meeting.
Discussion at this meeting in
dicated that feeds and minerals
were of great importance to all
livestock producers in the coun
ty and the committee felt that
this problem could well be stud
led and recommendations made
before the county-wide planning
conference is held. The commit
tee felt that there was some ed
ucating to be done in suppress
ing the mineral sales in the
county. The committee realized
that salt, calcium, and phos
phorous were the only minerals
that our feeds are deficient in,
and felt that high-powered sales
men selling mineral mixtures
advertising as many as 17 or 18
minerals was unnecessary and
costly to our farmers.
H. A. Llndgren, animal hus
bandry specialist of the Oregon
State College Extension service,
Corvallls, attended this session
and presented a summary of the
national livestock situation. He
emphasized the fact that live
stock numbers are relatively high
In spite of the fact there is a
meat shortage.
He pointed out that hog pro
duction should be increased or
at least maintained In the coun
ty and summarized the sheep
and wool situation as being a de
crease of 40 percent In numbers
of 10 years ago. ,
Members of the committee at
tending this first meeting were
Harold Erwin, Raymond Fergu
son, Eb Hughes, Newt O'Harra,
Harry Sherman, Harold Wright,
Floyd Worden, Emll Groshens,
and Frank Wilkinson.
County Agent N. C. Anderson
serves as committee secretary.
The next meeting of this group
will be held at the county agent's
office In Heppner at 7:30 p.m.,
Thursday, November 20.

Among those from Heppner
attending the Oregon Stnte
UCLA football game in Portland
Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. P.
W. Mahoney, Mr. and Mrs. B. C.
Pinckney, Mr. and Mrs. Orville
Smith, Mr. and Mrs. James Far
ley, Dr. A. D. McMurdo, Mr. and
Mrs. LaVerne Van Marter Jr.,
Mr. and Mrs. Alva Jones and Mr.
and Mrs. David Wilson,
is logical for the state to dictate
what shall be taught in the
schools, wouldn't it be just as
logical for the federal govern
ment, in event of federal school
aid being granted, to expect to
have a voice in the direction of
our schools? It is a problem for
us to be considering, as every
year there is a greater demand
being made for federal aid."
Bringing the discussion down
to the local situation, the speak
er said the valuation of district
No. 1, which comprises the city
of Heppner and a short radius
on every side, is a little over $1,
000,000. The tax rate this year is
305 mills, which is expected to
raise over $34,000. Only one
school is operated within the dis
trict, with an attendance at pre
sent of 272 in the grades and
109 in the high school. The
school population has Increased
slightly over a long period of
years. The fact that the increase
is smail, although the school is
crowded, makes one wonder if
it has not been crowded for a
long time, he said. The school
census just being taken shows
a probability of an increase in
the number of children between
the ages of four and 18 years.
Last year's census showed 396.

Jaycees Prepare
For Open House
Saturday Evening
Celebrating completion of the
club rooms at the city building
(the former Fair pavilion) the
Junior chamber of commerce has
issued invitations to people of
the community to attend an open
house Saturday evening. Since
it is a community project and
will be for the use of any group,
the Jaycees have announced
that refreshments will be on a
potluck basis.
Those who have not visited the
pavilion and seen what is being
done will be in for a surprise.
The rooms are comfortable, al
though not large, and will serve
a long-felt want in Heppner.
The Jaycees have purchased
dining service for 48, so that
sizeable groups wishing to have
dinner parties or luncheons in
the club rooms will not have to
resort to borrowing.
Out-of-town relatives here Sat

Referring to improvements, the
chairman said that construction
of a new building to house a
new heating plant has been au
thorized. This will remove the
plant from the main building
and provide a little more class
room space in the basement.
Speaking of the consolidation
plan, he said that while some of
the districts sending their stu
dents to Hepner have filed peti
tions, some are still holding
back. It is the hope of the school
officials that all will come in,
for in so doing they will have a
greater stake in the school and
probably would take a more ac
tive interest and part in its iny
provement.
Long range plans include the
acquisition of more ground for
playground and building space.
He also mentioned that a new
grade building is being consid
ered and that such a building to
house the first six grades may
become a reality in the not too
distant future. There should al

Heppner And Moro
Set New Scoring
Record In 2-2 lie
Each Team Makes
Touchback Friday
At Rodeo Grounds
Something new in the way of
football scoring was experienced
in Heppner last Friday after
noon when the Heppner High
school Mustangs and the Moro
High school Huskies battled to
a 2-2 tie. It is not uncommon to
see one score of two points but
when each team ekes out a meas
ly touchback each it is one for
the book.
Heppner scored first at the east
goal when, with Moro taking ov
er near the end zone, there was
a fumble and the ball was
grounded by Moro behind the
goal line. A little later in the
game, after the teams had bat
tled back and forth up and down
the field, the Mustangs found
themselves defending their goal
line. They held and took the ball
on downs. The Moro line broke
through and swamped the ball
carrier back of the line. Score
2-2.
Following the style of play
Grant Union used effectively
against the Mustangs the week
before, the Huskies opened up
with a series of short passes
which brought first downs re
peatedly, interspersing the pass
es with an occasional end run or
smash through the line. The
Mustangs, taking a little the
worst of it on yardage and
downs, kept up their fire and
managed to stop each serious
threat the Huskies had to offer.
While the visitors were chalk
ing up yardage on passes, Hepp
ner displayed little improvement
in that department. Moro seem
ed to be "hep" to the direction
the ball would travel and mess
ed up most of the Mustang ef
forts at heaving.
The teams were evenly match
ed as to weight, about 10 pounds
difference in the announced line
ups, but neither could cash. In

the case of the touchbacks.

Farm Elections To
Be Held November
24-25 In County
Chairman Advises
All Eligible Take
Part in Program
Every farmer In Morrow coun
ty who is eligible to vote in the
farm program election to be
held during the next few weeks
should exercise that privilege, in
the opinion of Henry Baker,
chairman of the county agricul
tural conservation committee. All
persons participating in the 1947
agricultural conservation pro
gram, or who had a federal crop
insurance contract this year are
eligible to vote, whether owners,
operators, tenants or sharecrop
pers, Baker advised.
These annual elections give
farmers an opportunity to make
their voices heard In the devel
opment and administration of
farm programs," Baker said.
"And since every farmer has an
interest in seeing that the na
tional programs fit local needs,
he should use this opportunity
to select the men to administer
the program who will best carry
out this responsibility."
With continued demand for
food, and corresponding heavy
drain on the soil, farmer com
mitteemen will be confronted
by many decisions affecting cur
rent and future production, the
chairman said. "Farmers will
be called upon to do all they can
to produce an abundance of food
and fiber needed for consumers
in this country and to share with
the hungry of other countries. As
the demand for food and fiber
increases, the conservation of
soil and water becomes more im
portant "All these, together with a need
for a better understanding of the
farm program and what it con
templates for the benefit of the
consumer as well as the farmer,
are reasons why every eligible
farmer in Morrow county should
vote in the coming election," Ba
ker concluded.
Elections will be held at
Boardman and Irrigon on Nov.
24. Voting at Boardman will be
