A Team to Be Proud Of Early last week Heppner high school's Mus tang basketballers headed for The Dalles tourna ment with hih hopes and a considerable quan tity of confidence that this year they were going to come out with the playoff crown, but, it turned out, another team had a slightly different idea about who was going to win. Tournaments, arid all the pressures and en suing jitters that seem to overcome basketball players under such circumstances, very frequent ly takes its toll of lop teams and Heppner was rated as a favorite. It even happens to much bigger teams and better seasoned players than are found in high schools. Don't feel too badly boys, just remember what happened to the Washington Huskies last weekend. They were supposed to win too. We believe Heppner did win something at The Dalles, though the game score may not have shown it. William Stewart in his column "Sports Pepper" in The Dalles Optimist handed the Mus tangs a real compliment when he said, ' "Talk about sportsmanship. That Heppner ball club may not be the tournament cham: pions, but the Mustangs are without a doubt the best mannered squad in the meet... We've never seefl a team show such fine sportsman ship under pressure conditions." We'll take that kind of comment over a win ning score any day. The Mustangs and their coach are to be complimented for placing sports manship first on the list of requisites for a good ball club. When you can lose and still be called good sports, you're winners! SCOPE OF MAY BALLOT From 9 Friday morning until 5 p. rn. hundreds of candidates and their coharts surged in and out of the candidates filing offi ces and through the corrodors of the Capitol. It was much like a legislative session squeezed into seven hours. Some brought the whole family foY the momentus occasion of father's filing, and camped 'on chairs In the lobby. There was considerable doings that were unlabled. There were the "friendly enemy" filers from several parts of the state. All day they crouched ready to file and split the vote of any candidate who might file to oppose the candi date of their political machine.

A cry for help went up from the Oregon Legislature's Interim Committee on Legislative Pro cedure this week. They want to know how to shorten the steadily lengthening biennial legislative sessions. The 1951 session was the longest of all, lasting 11 G days. The committee decided to send a questionnaire to all members of the present legislature and to members of recent former ses sions, asking if they approved of these suggestions: Annual sessions instead of hav ing session every two years. Meeting of Ways and Means Committee, which makes appro priations, before the sessions con vene. Barring introduction of bills after the 20th day. , A powerful Rules Committee. Insistence that slate depart ments introduce their bills early. Leaving afternoons free for committee meetings, thus holding legislative sessions only during the mornings. Having a voting machine to take house roll calls. YOUR ED PEKLtBLEIVaS Expei lences of the past few years have demonstrated the economical effectiveness of chemical weed con trol in practically every branch of agriculture. Dow has developed a variety of control chemicals for nearly every weed problem. Esteron 44 & 2,4 Dow Weed Killer For mula 40 were especially formulated for the control of weeds in grain and grass crops and in pastures. Esteron Brush Killer not only aids in clearing new acreages but prevents the encroachment of line brush and weeds into valuable crop lands and pastures. TCA 90 is a valuable help for the elimination of quack grass, Bermuda and Johnson grasses and other obnoxious weeds occurring along roadsides, fence rows, irrigation canals and drainage ditches or canals. Non-poisonous to feeding livestock and no long time sterilization. Dow Lindane 25 Wettable is worthwhile as a year 'round control for flies and other insects in dairy barns, creameries and similar farm buildings. Eco nomical because one spraying is effective for 6 weeks. It controls lice and mange mites on dairy cattle and other livestock. THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY SlATTLl SAN FRANCISCO lot angiiis Dispensing with roll calls on minor bills. Getting assistance from state bar in drafting bills. STATE SHORT OF FUNDS Governor Douglas McKay con curs with those who propose the prompt construction of an inter mediate panel institution for first offenders but points to the appar ent lack of funds that may be used for the purpose. It has been estimated that the building will cost in excess of $1, 000,000 and it is known that some members of the emergency board believe the approval of such an institution and a similar building to house sex offenders should go before the 1953 legislature which convenes in January. Persons sponsoring a state in stitution for sex offenders will ask the legislature to authorize construction and provide funds. They propose that a ward in the Oregon State Hospital be estab lished for sex offenders and used until a special institution is available. KLONDIKE KATE WARNS Mrs. Wm.

They are treating more than 150,000 acres of crop and forest lands in the state each year by aerial application if insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, accord ing to Freeport Sulpher Company. "Over 6,000 pilots in the em ployment of some 1,500 operating companies are engaged in the aerial battle against insect pests, weeds and plant diseases", said I. J. Becnel, Freeport's agricultu ral research director. "These 'fly ing farmers' are making a real contribution to the defense effort by opening up more and more acreage for crop and pasture use," he added'They perform some 300 different types of operations, do ing the job faster, more efficient ly, and in many cases at lower cost than ground distribution." It is estimated that approxi mately 25,000,000 of the country's more than 300,000,000 productive acres receive aerial treatment an nually. Sulpher, which is in short sup ply for the first time since World War I, is a primary ingredient of most agricultural chemicals. Pointing out that some 350,000, 000 pounds of dusts and sprays or one-third of all products, are distributed over U. S. acreage each year, Becnel said farmers are being urged to use these chemicals in the most economical fashion compatible with good farming practices. Chief Oregon benefactors of aerial treatment are orchard and truck crops. Among other aerial farming jobs listed by Freeport are the spraying of forests to kill infestations such as the spruce budworm and army cutworm, and treating large acres to control mosquitoes, gypsy moths, grass hoppers and other insect pests. o Sorlien Guest Pastor At Portland Church The Rev.
