Mustangs Regain
Taking Moro 13-6
I Will Close Season
. Against Hermiston
In Armistice Fray
Never let it be said that a
Heppner team ever gives up. Af
ter being beaten a week pre
viously by the Grant Union Pros
pectors, the Mustangs came back
and handed the Moro Huskies the
first defeat of their campaign.
The final score was 13-6 but the
score doesn't do the Mustangs
Justice, for all afternoon the fired
up boys from Heppner shoved
Moro all over the field. They ex
celled In their passing, running,
blocking and tackling to smoth
er the Huskies in yardage.
The Mustangs tallied first a
mere two seconds before the half,
when pile-driving Norman Ruhl,
aided by good blocking, broke
into the clear and outran the Mo
ro secondary 71 yards to pay dirt.
His try for point was no good but
the Mustangs were there to stay.
On a fourth down midway in
the third period, Mert Piper whip
ped Waters a 30 yard pass in the
end zone. Waters leaped high
above his opponents to snare the
pass and give the Mustangs an
other six points. Bob Bergstrom
smashed over for the extra point
and Heppner led, 13 0.
Moro tallied in the last period
when quarterback Keith Thomp
son sneaked over on his second
try from a mere 6 inches out. The
Huskies' hopes for the extra point
collapsed when the entire' line
for Heppner broke through to
spill the runner. The Mustangs
played the game safe for the re
maining time and were never
threatened. The final gun went
off with the Mustangs on top,
13-6.
The lineup for Heppner: Left
end, Eddie Gunderson; left tac
kle, Jim Sumner; left guard, Jim
Orwlck; center, Phil Smith; right
guard, Karl Gabler; right tackle,

nett; right half, Norm Ruhl; left
half, Mert Piper; fullback, Bob

Random Thoughts...
There Is always one thing we
can be thankful for and that is
that after all the tumult and
shouting is over (we're thinking
about elections) we can settle
down to sane thinking and act
ing. - However disappointing the
results may be it is a relief to
get from under the stress and
strain of an election. While the
campaign is on it is difficult to
keep geared to the everyday bus
iness of life and besides too many
of us allow our respective blood
pressures to soar too high. But it
is a good old American custom
and it can't be said with too
much authority that it is not a
good custom. The fires of patriot
ism thus get stirred up at least
once in four years and all of us
feel our great responsibility
then as at no other time. Were it
not for this fervency it is doubt
ful if the two-party system would
long survive. The game of out
smarting the other fellow, or one
party outsmarting the other serv
es to keep us interested In things
political and keeps us on our toes.
And so tt will be that when the
Republicans have recovered from
the shock of the 1948 election
they will begin to rally around
to strengthen the party organiza
tion for the purpose of keeping a
close check on the Democrats for
the next four years. That's what
the Democrats do when they're
on the outside looking in and
being of a nature somewhat akin
to the party emblem they do not
stand by and look dignified and
solemn not on your tintype
they Just kick their stalls to
splinters and bray unto high hea
ven about the Republican crooks,
and they've been hitting paydirt
regular the past 16 years.
Results of the Oregon vote on
the several measures have left
most of the populace in a quan
dary about the state's future.
Some of the most inconsistent
voting was done that has even
been witnessed here or elsewhere.
With the risk of getting the edi
torial chin knocekd completely
off, we're going to stick it way
out and make the bold assertion
that at least one more measure
should have been on the ballot.
And that is, that there should
have been an initiative petition
calling for abolishment of the
initiative section of the initiative
and referendum. This suggestion
is offered on the grounds that the
writer is incapable of passing up
on at least 90 per cent of the
measures and we hereby chal
lenge any of our readers to come
forth and prove that they are
qualified to pass upon at least
60 per cent of them. Why elect
men to spend from two to three
months wrestling with affairs of
state, men whose Judgment we
respect and who for the most part
are above the average run of the
mill, and then turn around and
nullify their work because they
have not acted to suit a handful
of crackpots? Or, on the other
hand, through the initiative, load
them down with tax legislation
which they, assembled in session
for the purpose of stuyding and
debating these questions, have
found to be impractical and full
of danger to our very security.
People are Inclined to vote their
selfish prejudicles, and it is a safe
bet that if the legislature is un
able to find the revenue with
which to finance the new pen
sion program it will be the legis
lators and not the overzealous
promoters of the bill who catch
hell.
This is Armistice Day. It is the
day observed for nearly a quar
ter of a century by veterans of
World War I marking that long
awaited day in 1918 when hostil
ities between the Allied and Ger
man armies ceased to permit rep
resentatives from either side to
get together and arrange for an
end to the conflict. It was the
end to a war to end all wars, but
today the observance includes
veterans of a second world war,
a war far more inclusive and de
structive than the first and like
the first lacking in a definite con
clusion. After the first war it
was approximately 23 years be
fore our country was involved in
sending forces and materiel
abroad to bolster up the democra
cies who were trying to stem the
tide of German aggression. To
day, three years after cessation
of hostilities, we are still "over
there," still sending men and
supplies to carry on a cold war
that could well develop into a
shooting war, but which likely
will not happen until our chief
adversary either has a definite
advantage or to save face will
make the break.
So today, as we observe Armis
tice Day, let us keep in mind
that sober thinking about the fu
ture is desirable in meeting the
purpose for which American blood
was shed In two terrible wars.

Assessment Rate
Farmers having acreage sown
to crested wheat grass should
give this information to the as
sessor's office according to W. O.
Dix, county assessor. Without this
information the assessment is
based on the total acreage of till
able land which results in the
farmer having to write a bigger
tax check.
During the time federal aid was
allotted for acreages seeded to
grass there was no breakdown in
the assessment, but since that aid
has been withdrawn, landholders
are given the advantage of a $3
per acre valuation on grass sown
tracts. But this advantage is not
given where grass lands are not
listed and this has caused not a
little misunderstanding between
taxpayers and tax collectors
and asssesors.

To Highway Board
Submitting a proposal for high
way construction and improve

plans to the state highway com
mission last Thursday at the lun

enough to submit the proposals
but permits of no time to present
arguments. For that reason it

paign, it was decided after hear

plans can anything be done.

main interest of the group at this
time.
