Moro Handed First
Defeat of Season
By Heppner Team
Mustangs Outplay
Heavier Rivals To
Win, 19-7, Friday
Playing headsup football all
the way, the Heppner high school
Mustangs romio to a 19-7 vic
tory over the hitherto undefeated
Moro high school Huskies, district
6B champions, In one of the best
games seen on the Rodeo field in
many a season, Friday afternoon.
The Heppner plays clicked for
yardage, first downs and pay
dirt, and that's what It takes to
win football games.
Moro is not to be taken lightly
on anybody's field, as the Husk
ies proved time and again when
in possession of the ball. They
have some powerful backs that
run hard, shiftily, and keep in the
fight all the time. They were
out foxed by the Heppner style
of plays, of which there are many.
And here's how It happened:

MAIL WATER CHECKS
TO WATER DEPARTMENT
Pajrons of the city water de
partment who remit by check
through the mail should remem
ber to address the envelope to
the "City Water Department" ra
ther than just to the city. Failure
to do this causes a delay In
checks reaching the department
and often results in patrons re
ceiving a second notice.
Mail addressed Just to the Ctiy
of Heppner is received by the re
corder and it is often several
days before water checks, are
turned over to the water office.
Accounts not so credited by the
tenth of the month are often
placed on the delinquent list.

County's Teachers
Hear Educator At
Tuesday Meeting
The Heppner teachers were
hosts to the Morrow county teach
ers Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Henry
Gunn, president of the Oregon
College of Education, spoke to
the group at 4:30. Among other
things, Dr. Gunn pointed out that
we as a nation spend nearly 15
billions on foreign aid, 15 billions
on armaments, 8 billions on vet
erans, 9 billions on liquor, bil
lions on tobacco, cosmetics, etc.,
and only 3 billions on education.
Because that for education is
mostly raised by direct property
tax, the people notice it more, al
though it is but a small percent
of what they pay altogether in
taxes, he said.
This meeting was followed by
a dinner which was prepared and
served by the ladies of the Meth
odist church. The group was en
tertained by a "German Band", a
group rounded up by Director
Bob Collins. This group was dres
sed in the costumes of the '90's.
Following the dinner, Mrs. Bes-
sie Hayes of Irrigon, president of
the county group, presided at a
short business meeting.
