2-Heppner Gozette Times, Heppner, Oregon, November 20, 1947 EDITORIAL A Chance For The Finals Heppner in proud of the Mustang football squad Ihli year of 1947 and our people will bo looking forward to Friday s contest with great hopes that the team will come out with the privilege of par ticipating In the state final ' B" playoff. This will be a distinctive honor for our high school and the community. However, it is well understood that Union li a really tough aggregation and one can only hope for the best when the young gladiators meet at Rodeo field. Coach Leonard Pate has come up with good athletic teams each year and we think he has done a splendid job this year. Left with three Jettermen as a nucleus he has built up one of the best teams seen in action here for several years. There are no big hunks of kids in the line or in the backfield. They are all average size and thoroughly capable of taking care of themselves in any "B" company. At the beginning of the season the coach was Justifiably dubious about his team's chances for district honors. Almost an entirely new squad had to be developed and many of them had never played on a competitive basis. It was a doubtful outlook but not one without hope, for these youngsters gave promise of learning to play the game and while the team and fans might have to eat a little humble pie this year, the coach was confident that by another season Heppner could be counted in the winning column. He told ye scribe as much when, prior to the Prairie City game the question was asked, "What are your chances for tomorrow?" To console him, the scribe ventured the suggestion that the brand new bunch of boys willing to learn the game as he wanted It played might bring greater success to him than a group of older boys who ofttimes gain the Impression that they are invaluable and take matters into their own hands, more or less. The coach replied that there might be something to the idea. We have not seen him to ask what he thinks of it now, but the fact remains that the Mustangs are scheduled to play a semi-final game and those kids are as full of fight as a bunch of angry hornets, even after playing three heavy games in the past two weeks. There is no doubt but that a banner crowd will be on hand to back up the Mustangs Friday afternoon. Remember To Buy Seals Twenty-five years ago, Oregon's death rate from tuberculosis was 70 per 100,000 population; today that rate has dropped to 24 per 100,000. Through cooperation of the newspapers and var ious other agencies during the annual Christmas Seal sale, a campaign of education has been car ried out which has resulted in making the public tuberculosis conscious. This and the effective work of the Oregon Tuberculosis and Health as sociation and similar associations throughout the land has caused a gradual decline in the death rate due to this dreadful malady. In a few days the campaign will open to raise funds through the sale of Christmas seals. These "Seal" dollars must continue to contribute to ward the constant research for a specific cure for tuberculosis. These dollars must continue to promote health programs and activities to pro tect the community against the disease. Christ mas Seal dollars can enable every adult to have an annual free chest x-ray that shows the pre sence of tuberculosis before definite symptoms appear. Early discovery means early recovery. When you buy a block of Christmas Seals you may contribute toward your own welfare more directly than you think or realize. Keep this in mind and don't begrudge a few dollars from your budget, or, better still, from your pleasure fund, when the Christmas Seal sale opens No vember 24. 30 YEARS A(3(Q) From Heppner Gazette Times resident of Heppner, was recent -' Nov. 22, 1917 I ly married at North Yakima, Wn., Morrow county has exceeded', to William Louden, its YMCA war fund quota ofi $300 by $490 to date and more cash is expected before the drive closes. a L.

The division holds that before deduc tions for federal withholding taxes, social security or indus trial accident contributions are made of the 1 percent withheld from salaries and wages of em ployees must be applied to the gross compensation of employ ees. This will apply only to em ployers with a monthly payroll of more than $50. Employers coming under the provisions of the act are also required to reck on as part of the employees com pensation, the fair value of meals, quarters and services fur nished to the employee as a part of his compensation, irrespect ive of whether such perquisites are supplied wholly or in part for the convenience of the em ployer." The employer must re mit withholdings to the tax com mission on or before the 30th day of the month following the close of the quarter."

What an outstanding univer sity could be established by the excellent instructors in Oregon who will be retired this year by the state. The only reason for discontinuing the valuable ser vices of these experienced educa tors is that they have reached the age of 65 years. State col leges and universities have laid down a blanket rule that teach ers must quit when they reach retirement age, whether they wish to or not. Several state de partments this week requested permission of the retirement board to retain some of their dex terous workers who are up for retirement December 31. The state highway department, in dustrial accident commission, en gineer's office, unemployment compensation, public utilities commission and other depart ments find it difficult just now to replace skilled help. It always cost the state money to make a change of personnel in key po sitions. In many departments months of training is required before efficiency is obtained. When workers are retained be yond the retirement age by or der of the board an application for continuance must be made each year and may be repeated annually.
