Random Thoughts...
It is gratifying to the editor to
learn that at least one of our
subscribers reads the "old sheet."
In ths morning's mail came an
envelope mailed at Fresno, Calif.,
and containing a portion of the
G-T of Octoebr 28 in which ap
peared a write-up of the Honker
Mustang football contest at Ar
Ington. There are circles around
different phrases referring to the
scoring that took place who
made the runs, half-time score,
etc., but never a mention of the
final score.
Now, the fact is that we dis
covered the lack of mentioning
the final score after the paper
was off the press and it was too
late to do anything about it. Our
the high school, are doing an OK
the hgh school, are doing an OK
job but they lack a little in ex
perience and are apt to pass up
the fact that while they know
what the final scores are, or
where the games were played,
and other details that make a
more complete story, the readers
as a rule are not awae of these
facts and depend upon the news
paper for such information. Add
ed to this oversight is an occa
sional lack of vigilance on the
part of the editor, and this, while
unpardonable, does not add to
(the enlightenment of the reader.
so, we are manKiui to uon w.
Jones of Fresno, Cal., for check
ing up on us and will close by
saying that Heppner won out by
a touchdown final score, 913.
Girl Scout week is being ob
served this week and the Hepp
ner troops are keeping in step
with the national trend. They
have a window display in the
Western Stores window which de
picts the projects carried on by
Girl Scouts and the display in
itself is a worthy representation
of the work they follow.
One more week remains of the
elk huntng season and there are
still numerous red-capped or
hatted individuals meandering
In and out of town, some on the
way to the mountains, others re
turning home with their kills or
empty handed, as the case may
be. This section is not advertised
as a great hunting or fishing re
gion and the fishing is mostly of
a local nature, yet when the deer
season opens there is a great
swelling of the population for a
few days, and this continues thru
the pheasant season and the elk
season, it is unnecessary to
make a bid for this business, yet
it comes each fall and local bus
iness houses feel the upsurge In
onrrenrv intakp The extlnc
J b
houses are hard put to meet the
rush and one week ago Sunday it
was reported that there was not
a commercial loaf of bread In
town. Early patrons at the res
taurants last Monday morning
were obliged to eat hotcakes
minus the accompaniments of
eggs, bacon, ham or sausage as
a result of the week-end crush
of hunters. And the hunting has
been good, too. The deer, phea
sant and elk population of the
region has been reduced to the
point where winter feeding
should not be a problem unless
feed has to be hauled to the wild
life over deep snow.

Monument Cut-Off
To Be Presented
For Consideration

tee and including P. W. Mahoney,
J. G. Barratt, Frank W. Turner
and Orviile Smith, and accom
panied by Chester Brown, mayor

nesday afternoon where this
morning the highway commission
allotted 15 minutes for presenta
tion of road matters from this
area.
The highway committee has
been working for some time com
piling information relative to the
proposed cut-off road to Monu
ment, which would leave the
Heppner-Spray highway at the
mouth of Chapin creek and reach
the north Grant county town with
the construction of something
like 26 miles of grade. Construc
tion of this stretch of road would
bring Monument to within ap
proximately 52 miles of Heppner
and provide that region with a
much nearer railhead than now
exists.
This being national 4-H club

he was introduced by Miss Mable
Wilson, home demonstration ag
ent and 4-H club leader.
Ronald spoke on "What 4-H
club work means to me", and
handled his subject in a capable
manner, clearly demonstrating
that the work being done by the
livestock and other groups of
teen-agers is making a direct
contribution to a program devot

a stronger America.
Ronald's mother, Mrs. E. Mark

District Mythical
Crown From H.H.S.
By Jim Sumner
The Heppner Mustangs drop
ped a decisive tilt to a strong
Grant Union eleven at John Day
Friday at the rate of 13-6. Thru-
out the game the Grant team
showed power in all phases of
play. Not until the third quarter
did the Heppner eleven show its
winning power by tying up the
ball game after trailing the en
tire first half following an early
TD by the Prospectors.
To start the game the Heppner
lads kicked off. After a series of
running and punting by both
teams, the Prospectors got on a
sustained drive consisting of line
bucks, end runs, and short pass
es that didn't end until they had
struck pay dirt. The kick for
extra point was wide. Score at the
end of the first half remained
6-0, though the Grant Union boys
threatened again in the second
canto.
The third quarter showed more
promise for the Mustangs. In the
opening minutes a pass from Pi
per to Waters was complete for
27 yards. This scoring opportun
ity was stopped and Grant Union
took over. After a series of first
downs and punts by both teams,
Heppner took advantage of a late
third canto punt. With a pass
from Piper to Gunderson for a
gain of 16 yards Ruhl ran the
end for Heppner's score. Ruhl's
try for punt was no good.
Early in the fourth quarter and
after a series of complete passes
the Grant boys scored their sec
ond marker on a short pass.
Their pass for extra point wis
good. The rest of the game see
sawed back and forth. In the fin
al seconds the Mustangs stopped
another Prospector drive. Three
passes by Piper and a kick by
Bergstrom finished Heppner's bid
for the district championship
which they took from Grant Un
ion last year. Final score for 1947,
H 13 0; for 194S G 13 6.
Boys seeing action: Gunderson,
Sumner, Orwick, Smith, Gabler,
Gammell, Waters, Bennett, Piper.

Livestock Men of
County Participate
In Sale at Moro
With Delbert Emert, lone, pur
chasing both the grand champion
and reserve champion Hereford
bulls, the thrid annual Mid Co
Purebred Breeders sale held at
Moro on November 1 was highly
successful from the standpoint of
buyers and demand. The quality
of livestock exhibited and shown
this year surpassed previous
sales, N. C. Anderson county ag
ent, who attended the sale Mon
day.
Morrow county livestock men,
states the county agent, were ac
tive In consignments to the show
and sale as well as being spirit
ed bidders. Consignments were
made by Kirk Robinson Hereford
ranch with two cows and a bulL
Floyd Worden wtih two bulls and
a cow and Allen Hughes, with
a bull raised as a 4-H club pro
ject.
The champions purchased by
Mr. Emert will be a great im
provement to his high quality
commercial herd. This is just an-
other indication of the desire of
Morrow county livestock men to
build their herds above the av
erage while prices are favorable.
Students Display
Warm Interest in
Hallowe'en Parties
Four truckloads of high school
students, and some of junior high
age, participated in the Hallow
e'en party sponsored by the Sor-
optimist club Sunday evening.
That was the turnout for the hay-
ride party which was driven to
the Bucknum cabin about 14
miles up Willow creek. Here in
town some 75 "kids" assembled
in the basement parlors of the
Methodist church, making it nec
essary to separate the primary
and intermediate groups into two
units. Rev. J. Palmer Sorlien,
Mrs. Sorlien and Mrs. Marvin
Wightman managed the party'
for the younger set.
Trucks for transporting the
high school group were provided
by Harold Erwin, Bill Barratt
Cliff Dougherty and Emile Gro
shens, the latter being driven by
Harold Becket and Harold Man
ners. Seventeen chaperones were
in attendance.
The hayride party is told in a
fitting manner by Jean Hanna,
editor of the Hehisch, student
newspaper. She writes:
The students of Heppner High
and members of the seventh and
eighth grades would like to give
their most sincere and whole
hearted thanks to the members
of the Soroptimist club who so
kindly sponsored the fine Hallow
e'en party given for them Sunday
night, October 31.
When a member of their club
came up to school one day last
week, a group of students was
picked to represent the student
body in deciding if the party
would be of interest to the stu
dents. After some discussion it
was decided that 59 or 60 of the
students would probably attend
the party. Thinking tnat this
would be a good representation
the "go ahead" signal was given.
When the big night rolled
around the sky was clouoy and
dark, but an enthusiastic group
of students was ready and very
willing to head for the mountains
in the back of the four trucks
that stood waiting.
Arriving at the scheduled place.
four huge bonfires were built
.vhere members of the Soroptim
ist club and students quickly
warmed cold hands and feet. Gai
ety was everywhere and songs
were sung loud and long. Even
though the group added up to
110 students there was enough
food for everyone to eat to his
heart's content, so if there was
anyone who came home hungry
it certainly was his own fault.
In closing we again wish to ex
press out most sincere apprecia
tion to those who sponsored this
party which was something new
to students and to townspeople
alike.
So thanks again, members of
the Soroptimist club, from the
students of HHS for such a grand
evening.

Truman Side, All

Tuesday's election brought out
one of the great upsets of Am
erican voting history when Pres
ident Harry Truman was return
ed for another four-year term by
what amounted to a landslide.
for he not only beat the repub
lican nominee, Thomas E. Dewey,
but dragged enough congressmen
and senators along with him to
make the victory complete.
