Lucky Breaks Give
Heppner Margin In
Arlington Contest
Heavier Honkers
First to Score
Against Mustangs
In football as In other athletic
contests, It isn't always the best
team that wins. Sometimes It is
the team that gets the breaks
that wins, and that is what took
place at Arlington last Friday af
ternoon when a determined, hea.
vier Honker eleven almost upset
the Heppner Mustang winning
schedule. By virtue of having
won the game, by being able to
take advantage of the breaks, It
can be said that the Mustangs
ave still the better team, and ac
cording to the advertising that
was on display In Arlington, the
Bohles squad may now be termed
the champs of the Big Wheat lea
gue.
The Honkers counted first in
the middle of the first period.
Their score climaxed a series of
line bucks and wide end sweeps.
For a few minutes the fire and
spirit of the Mustangs was gone,
for not only had the opponents
made the first touchdown of the
game, they were the first to score
against the Bohles gang this year.
This lapse in spirit lasted only a
few minutes, however, for at the
end of the quarter, Bergstrom,
Mustang fullback, snared a'pass
fired by an Arlington back and
raced 40 yards to score. The try
for point failed but the old fire
was back and the Mustangs were
in the ball game.
In the second period the Mus
tangs really opened up. A 20-yard
gallop by Ruhl on a double re
verse set up the play for the sec
ond touchdown. Bergstrom
smashed over for the score and
the extra point, to give Heppner
13-6 half-time lead.
Football is a rough game and
accidents often happen, acci
dents which cannot be helped.
Unfortunately an Arlington play
er was badly injured in the third
period. The spirit In every Ar
lington player was fired up to
a high pitch. They were unstop
pable and shortly after they
boomed over to score and make
their extra point to tie the ball
game up at 13-all.
The rest of the third period and
most of the fourth was a see-saw
battle, with neither team threat
ening seriously. Late In the
fourth period Heppner was forc
ed to punt. The ball slipped out
of the hands of the receiver, right
into the arms of Jerry Waters,
Mustang end. With the ball in
his hands and the entire Heppner
squad for Interference he raced
all the way to tally the final
touchdown of the game and a
victory for Heppner.
The entire starting lineup for
the Mustangs played a bang-up
ball game. Although outweighed
approximately 15 pounds to the
man they threw up a very strong
defense. The starters for Hepp
ner were, ends, Waters and Gun
derson; tackles, Sumner and
Gammell; guards, Gablcr and Or
wick; center, Smith; backs, Berg,
strom, Ruhl, Piper and Bennett.
Heppner will endeavor to main
tain its wining streak at John
Day Friday, when it meets the
Grant Union high squad. A con
siderable number of local foot
ball enthusiasts are expected to
accompany the team to continue
the supoprt given since the sea
son opened.
Families of War Dead Think
Memorial Should Be Provided
Families residing in the county
whose sons did not return from
the-war are united In their be
lief that a war memorial of one
kind or other should be provided.
This knowledge was conveyed to
Mrs. Ralph Thompson In. letters
from several of the mothers In
response to an appeal in the Gaz
ette Times for names of the war
dead.
It is likely that the memorial
planned at the veterans hospital
In Walla Walla will be carried
out, and an effort also will be
made to revive the memorial
plans set up by the Heppner
chamber of commerce two or
three years ago. This Involves the
printing of names of all men and
women of the county seeing ser
vice in World War II, with the
names of the dead appearing in
gold lettering. A proposal that
space In the arched entrance to
the courthouse be used was ac
cepted by the chamber of com
merce but the committee named
to carry out the project got side
tracked somewhere along the
line and nothing of a concrete na
ture has been done.
Mrs. Thompson attended a
meeting of the Blue Mountain
council at Walla Walla Friday at
which time nine of the 10 coun
ties In the district were represent
ed. Reports on contributions to
the hospital work showed that all
counties are carrying on a liberal
program. Mrs. Thompson report

Heppner Football
Player Takes Issue
With Sports Writer
George Pasero, editor of the
sports column "Prep-O-Sltlons" In
the Oregon Journal, is convinced
of one thing, and that is that his
column enjoys good upstate read
ershlp. Pasero has been editor
ializing to some length on the
growing popularity of six-man
football In the smaller schools.
When he concurred In an opinion
written by an Astoria correspon
dent, Jimmy Orwick, member of
the 1948 Heppner high school el
even, took exception and wrote
the columnist his version of 11
man football.
"You said something which I
believe is wrong," wrote Jimmy.
(Says Pasero: We quoted an
Astoria correspondent to the ef
fect that 'for any school to fie"ld
an 11-man team with less than
30 strapping boys on the squad
is Just plain silly'.")
"We have 47 boys in school and
24, not 30, are out for football. So
far we have played four games
and this is our record: Heppner
13, Prairie City 0, Heppner 39,
Fossil 0; Heppner 34, Condon 0;
Heppner 44, The Dalles Papooses
0. That's 130 points against none
for our opponents. Our line aver
ages 158 and last week we played
a team with a line averaging
175."
Says Pasero: "Well, Jimmy, our
hat is off to your eleven, as that
of our correspondent must also
be. But nevertheless there is
some merit In his statement."
And now Jimmy mtght remind
the Journal columnist that Hepp
ner met and defeated a determin
ed and tough Arlington Honker
team last Friday, although the
record is no longer scoreless on
the opponent side.
Contract Bridge
Cinch, Says Sam
Gordon, 'Kibitzer'
Contract bridge Is a cinch, ac
cording to Sam Gordon, The Kib
itzer, who will be here for a ser
ies of contract bridge lesson-lec
tures on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights, Oct. 28, 29, 30
In the American Legion hall
sponsored by Heppner Jay-C-etres.
He says the only aim of two
partners in a bridge game is to
tell each other how many tricks
they expect to take; and what is
their best trump suit, if any; and
that's all. And to give that Infor
mation, a player need not be a
civil engineer, a statistician and
a clairvoyant
All he needs is to learn the few
basic rules and signals used by
experts and other practical play
ers, which is the Horse Sense me
thod the only requirements to
play an acceptable brigde game.
His method of counting tricks is
the natural way any player
would use If he were not confus
ed by too many suggestions. You
merely total up your aces, kings,
queens, and the tricks you expect
to trump. All other departments
of the game are treated In the
same vein of simplicity.
Refreshments will be served

Random Thoughts...
As the general election cam
paign of 1948 comes to a close it
is difficult for an oldtimer to re
frain from reminiscing a little,
especially since campaigns have
become far more desultory af
fairs than they were, oh, say 50
years or so ago. It was the com
mon thing back in those days for
the band (almost every town had
a band) to head a torchlight par
ade, the strength of a party be
ing governed by the length of the
line of march and the number of
torchbearers.
There was one occasion in Hep
pner when the parde and rally
were staged in broad daylight.
It was in 1902 when W. J. Furnish
was the republican nominee for
governor. He was scheduled to
deliver a speech in Heppner and
to do the thing up right the town
band was sent to lone on the
morning train to help bolster the
GOP spirit among the good citi
zens of that town. Six or seven
hours elapsed between trains,
during which time the band play
ed several different "spells," and
the members whiled the time
away in whatever manner suited
their respective fancies and fin
ally old "65" tooted Into the sta
tion. Only then did the village
musicians and the central com-f
mlttee learn that the nominee
was not aboard the train. In his
stead was Charles W. Fulton of
Astoria, later to become Senator
Fulton, who proved to be one of
the state's great orators.
Arriving at Heppner, the pro
cession formed at the depot and
headed for town. A temporary
platforrn had been arranged on
May street on the south side of
the Palace hotel. A sizeable
crowd assembled; the band play
ed a few numbers, and then local
candidates were introduced.
When the late Robert F. Hynd,
county chairman, started to make
few introductory remarks about
the speaker of the day, a little
German tailor well back in the
crowd seemed so pleased with
what was being said that he kept
cutting in at the end of each sen
tence with, "Dots no tamn lie,
neider!" (The little tailor had
laid off work at 5 o'clock and
visited several of the town's bars
to get in the right attitude to ap
preciate the speeches). This con
tinued until it became annoying
to the chairman, who, although
somewhat amused wished to pro
ceed with his introduction un
hampered. "We deeply appreciate the en
thusiasm with which our remarks
are being received," said Mr.
Hynd, "and while we do not wish
to discourage this outward dis
play of party loyalty, it must be
admitted that the continued in
terference Is becoming somewhat i
obnoxious."
"Dot's no tamn lie, neider," ;
piped up the diminutive tailor as
Marshal George Thornton led him
away.
This is a highly important
week, what with eeneral election I
only five days away and Hallo
we'en just around the corner. It
might be said that more enthus
iasm is being displayed over the
latter than the former, especially
wiht a prospect of a hayride for
the high school "kids" This will
be on Sunday night and it is de
signed to give the young people
a good time without their getting
into mischief, if they are so in
clined. Police Chief Gordon Grady
originated the idea and sold it to
the Soroptimist club, which is
sponsoring the party with finan
cial assistance from some of the
other organizations of the com
munity. The smaller kids are not
to be left out on Hallowe'en en
tertainment, either. There will
be a party for them in the base
ment of the Church of Christ,
where witches and hobgoblins
may make merry to their heart's
delight, and maybe the "Meen
ister" will tell a ghost story or
two.
But, with all of this outlay for
the young folk we still expect to
wash our windows Monday morn
ing. You no doubt recall the old
railroad story about "off again,
on again, gone again, Finnegan."
The Hepnper Jay-C-ettes can just
about verify the authenticity of
this story, for in their efforts to
obtain a hall in which to hold the
Sam Gordon bridge lessons they
have enacted a similar role. How
ever, it has definitely been de
cided that the lessons will be
held In the Legion hall, starting
this evening. The first two nights
the grousp will meet on the main
floor and on Saturday evening
the "school" will be moved up
stairs to permit the Legion dance
to start promptly at 9 o'clock. So,
If you have been holding back
about buying a ticket because
you did not know where the
"school" was to be held there is
no need to delay that bit of bus
iness longer.

Circuit Judge lo
Hear Testimony In
Cow Killing Case
Three Men From
Heppner Involved
In Shooting Affair
Charges have been filed against
three men, all of them from
Heppner at the time, in the case
involving the shooting of one of
Frank Wilkinson's beef cows the
morning of August 14. With the
return here Saturday of Herman
Gayhart from Idaho the state has
completed the roundup of those
participating in the affair which
brought charges of "destruction
of private property" against them.
The others Involved with Gay
hart are D. E. McAllister and
Melvin Moyer.
Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman and
Officer Edgar Albert broke the
case after clues reached them in
a round-about manner. Someone
overheard the three men discuss
ing the shooting, which appears
to have been a spur of the mo
ment deal rather than due to
malice of forethough and relayed
the story to others until it fin
ally came to the attention of the
officers. Gayhart had gone to Ida
ho in the meantime, but when
the officers confronted the other
two men they each made a state
ment in which all three were im
plicated. Some delay was experienced in
getting requisition papers for
Gayhart and Sheriff Bauman left
for Idaho Friday to get him. Gay
hart's brother Afton former log
ging contractor here, and anoth
er brother came from Idaho Mon
day and obtained his release by
posting $2,000 bail. McAllister
and Moyer have been at liberty
since their apprehension the lat
ter part of September.
Ballot Measures
Given Pre-Election
Scanning Monday
..Three of the 11 measures sub
muied to the voters of Oregon
for their approval or rejection at
the general election next Tuesday
were discussed at the luncheon
meeting of the Heppner chamber
of commerce Monday at the Elk
horn restaurant.
P. W. Mahoney took up the six
percent limitation amendment,
explaining some of the machin
ery of raising the tax base under
the present set-up and pointing
out that the amendment would
be a short cut to raising the base
where cost of government out
strips the slowly increasing tax
base by permitting the people to
vote to establish a new higher
base which shall be the average
of total taxes levied (regular and
special voted levies) for three
successive years.
Henry Tetz reviewed the school
bill 308 which would do away
with Oregon's archaic school el
ection law relative to qualified
voters and throw the voting open
to all voters who have an estab
lished residence of six months
within the district.
J. R. Huffman spoke in favor
of the hydro power projects bill
which would clear the way tor
financing private power develop
ment on Oregon streams and will
not, as public ownership advo
cates claim, interfere with state
or federal "take over" rights. Pas
sage of the bill will permit con
struction of power projects at a
time when juice is sorely need
ed, he contended.
Robert Owens, president of the
Morrow County Public Health as
sociation, called attention to the
forthcoming visit of the Oregon
Tuberculosis association sponsor
ed x-ray unit and urged every
adult to take advantage of this
service. The unit will be in Hepp
ner November 10 and 12.
Rev. J. Palmer Sorlien intro
duced his guest, Miss Dorothy
Harding, who is spending several
weeks in Heppner assisting in
church school work at the Meth
odist church.
President Jack O'Connor an
nounced that the guest speaker
at next Monday's luncheon will
be a representative of the 4-11
clubs of the county. Nelson An
derson, county agricultural ag
ent, will be responsible for this
part of the program. Other ballot
measures will be discussed as a
final effort to make it possible
for the members to vote intelli
gently on Tuesday.

State Sanitary Authority Points To
Sewage Disposal Lack as Hazard
Due to delay in getting the ap
proval of plans for the proposed
sewer system the bond issue will
not be on the ballot for the city
election next Tuesday. The coun
cil has not announced definite
plans but is considering a special
election at a later date. With this
in mind, the following letter from
Kenneth II. Spies, associate sant.
tary engineer with the Oregon
State Sanitary authority, is of
special interest.
Written at Portland on October
If and addressed to the mayor
and city councl of Heppner. Mr
Spies says:
"We have been advised that on
November 2, IMS, the citizens of
Heppner are to vote on a S.W.OOO
general obligation bond issue for
the purpose of financing the con
struction of a municipal sewage
collection system and sewage
treatment plant. Because of the
great need for such sanitary fac
ilities within your city, both the
State Board of Health and State
Sanitary Authority sincerely hope
that the voters will give their
approval to this bond issue.
At the present time, in the ab
sence of a municipal sewerage
quota is approximately 60 per
cent subscribed. There will be
very little money for home pro
jects unless the quota is reach
ed. This is something in which
everybody is concerned. Send
in your contribution, whether
it be 50 cents, a dollar, five
dollars or 50 dollars or more.
It will all help.

Interest Lacking
As '48 Campaign
Draws to Close
National Contest
Points to Dewey,
State to McKay
There may have been quieter
national elections but it cant be
remembered when, around Hopp.
ner, at Ipast. With no local con
tests to stir up interest, there has
been little to get excited about
and with only five days left of
the campaign it is doubtful if
there will be much to cause one's
blood pressure to rise above nor
mal. So far as the national election
is concerned there seems to be
little doubt in the mind of Mr.
Average Citizen about the repub
lican party taking over for the
next four years. Each day finds
more and more groups swinging
over to Dewey and Warren as the
team most likely to steer the ship
of state off of the shoals of doubt
and despair into the gently mov
ing stream of unity and peace.
The Oregon congressional del
egation appears to be out in the
lead for a return trip to Washing
ton and McKay will doubtless get
the nod over Wallace. In fact, it
looks like Oregon will remain in
the republican column with its
state officials and swing back
on to the republican bandwagon
nationally for the first time in 16
long years.
Coming down to the legislative
ticket, dorrt forget that Giles
French and Henry Peterson will
appreciate a vole of confidence.
It makes for better work at Sa
lem when the legislators know
they have the supoprt of their
constituents.
The only contest in the county
offices is for sheriff. This may de
velop into a hot race before the
votes are counted. Neither candi
date is overlooking any bets and
both have made a thorough can
vass. Both men are popular, too.
A little color was added to the
