Heppner Rolls Up
Two More Hoop Wins
By Larry Mollahan
Not slackening their pace one
bit the Mustangs corraled two
more victories in last week's play
Wasco fell 57 to 26 on their home
floor Friday night. Arlington
followed suit Saturday night 65 to
39, the Honkers had the home
floor advantage also.
Neil Beamer led the scoring
attack for Heppner with 16 points.
Hastings took the honors for
Wasco with 9.
Larry Dowen's bench force
started the game but found
Wasco a little tougher than was
expected when they pulled into
5 to 4 lead over Heppner, Del
Piper and Ed Olson each supplied
half of the Mustangs points.
Dowen decided to take out an
insurance policy in the form of
Lyle Jensen, Neil Beamer, Bob
Grabill, and Jerry Haguewood in
the second period. Beamer went
up on the boards and put in 6
counters along with Haguewood
and Grabill who counted 4 apiece

try. They could not know that
the half century would bring two
world wars. All of these things
made their impacts on the for
ests and on the course of forestry,
No more than our predecessors
can we today forsee what lies
ahead. Perhaps we are on the
threshold of new developments in
chemistry that will bring many
new uses for wood uses that we
can't even realize today. The
course of the national economy or
changes in the international situ
ation may greatly affect supply
and demand for forest products
There is every prospect that the
pressure for water will increase.
Our per capita consumption of
' water has multiplied during re
cent decades. In many parts of
the country, further agricultural,
Industrial, recreational, and mu
nicipal developments depend pri
marily on increasing the supply
of usable water. The forest's
function as a protector of water
sheds is lis most Important ser
vice in many areas. It Is likely
to become even more critically
important.
Willi such ever-increasing de
mands in prospect for water, tim
ber, recreation, and other pro
ducts and services of the forests,
it may be expected that private
forestry will continue to advance,
and that the development of the
National Forests and other pub
lic forests will continue in re
sponse to growing needs. It may
be expecled, too, that a growing
realization of the importance of
the forest resources will bring a
greater appreciation by the peo-
pie of the need for management
and wise use of the forests.
Forestry, then, should go stead,
ily forward. Its potentialities for
contributing to national prosper
ity, security, and progress are
very great. Fifty years from now,
as today, the strength of the na
tion will lie in its people and its
resources.
on long barrages from the outer
court. Halftime saw Heppner
putting the game on ice 18 to 10.
The first string stayed in the
game In tne third period with
Beamer going wild for the Mus
tangs with 10 points. An omen of
the following night's performance
by Haguewood was three long
ones that counted two points
apiece. Jim Hayes found the
range and connected twice to end
the third period 38 to 15.
Skip Ruhl led off in the last
period with 6 points along with
Piper and Olson who each hit
four. Lowell Turner hit two foul
shots and one basket for an
other quartet. Deane Connor sank
one foul shot as a punctuation
mark.
HONKERS PLUCKED
Jerry Haguewood set a season
record for the Mustangs Saturday
night with 18 points, the most
made by a single player in one
game this year, the Mustangs
set another season record in game
total points, beating Arlington 65
to 39.
It was anybody's ball game at
half time with Heppner ahead by
only one point 24 to 23.
Bob Grabill started things roll
ing on the Honker court caging 4
points in the first period. Lyle
Jensen, Neil Beamer, and Hague
wood each dropped in two points
to tie Arlington 10 to 10 at the
end of the first quarter.
The Mustangs had a slow start
but with each passing second
were gaining momentum, Dick
Kononen, Jansen, and Skip Ruhl,
kept the stands on their feet
while netting four points each.
Ruhl was up to his old tricks of
stealing the ball and fast break
ing for the basket. Beamer kept
on the boards and succeeded once
to stretch the nets.
Coach Larry Dowen's pep talk
between halves was all the Mus
tangs needed. Haguewood began
sinking thirty footers from all
angles totaling eight points, two
of which were foul shots. Four
points was the vogue of each of
the quint sinking four each. Ko
nonen, Jensen, Beamer, and Ruhl
helped Haguewood total 24 points
In the third period for a 48 to 30
score.
Jensen sent three more points
to the Heppner side of the score
clock along with Del Piper who
made two, Lowell Turner, 2, John
Piper one and Grabill one.
TRI-COUNTY WEATHER RESEARCH
DISCUSSED AT SCIENCE MEETING

give two shows nightly at 9 and
1 1 o'clock.

Cloud -needing operations in
Northwest and elsewhere should
be designed scientifically to yield
the most rapid progress in
achieving weather control.
This policy was presented by
three Oregon State college wea
ther scientists at the American
Association for the advance
ment of Science meetings held
recently at Berkeley, Calif.
A new aproach, which permits
a more nearly precise check on
cloud-seeding results than pre
viously obtained, was summar
ized by the OSC physicists at the
American Meteorological society
session.
Cloud-seeding operations must
embody scientific design and con
trol to use the new method, the
scientists repeated. They are
Fred W. Decker, Russell L. Lin
coln and Jqjin A. Day.
The Tri-county area operations
were described by the scientists.
This includes Gilliam, Morrow
and Sherman counties in Oregon,
an area of about 400o square
miles.
Rain men In the Tri-county
area attempted to measure rain
fall In a seeded area which is
36,000,000,000 times as great as
the area covered by the nine of
ficial rain gauges In the target
The amount of rainfall is not
precisely known because of the
sparseness of the rain gauge
network, Decker said in pointing
out the meager sampling.
"A better estimate of how
much rain falls can be obtained
by use of modern weather radar.
Balloon borne "rawinsonde' ob
servations are also needed at sta.
tions close to the target area," he
said.
"Rawinsonde" is a term used by
meteoroligists to describe a sys
tem of following weather bal
loons by radar.
The method worked out by the
scientists to find out how much
rain will fall naturally in a
seeded area Is called "multiple
regression." This formula uses 11
weather variables.
Because the right kind of mea
surements at the right times and
places have not been available
due to lack of scientific design
in the experiments some of the
variables are uncertain, Lincoln
said.
"As these shortcomings are cor.
reeled we will know precisely the
extent to which cloud seeding
works." Lincoln went on.
By using this multiple regres
sion equation, it shows an actual
rainfall Increase of 16 percent
over the computed natural rain
fall Is needed to say with odds
of 19 to 1 the increase was due
to cloud seeding.
Over the four years of Trl
county seeding oper&tions, the
departure or -increase, is shown
to be only one-third of the 16
percent. This would have occur
red naturally one out of every
four years on the average.
The departure in the Tri-county
area Is too small to attribute to
anything other than natural vari
ation, Lincoln said.
Day urged the use of scientific
sampling of data for future cloud,
seeding experiments "if we ex
pect to detect 5 percent increases
with 19 to 1 odds within about
five years."
"The only person who will lose
on this Is that cloud seeder who
is selling as a sure thing a pro-'
duct he himself is not sure can
produce'" Day concluded,

Road Work Well
Ahead of Schedule
The county court reported Wed
nesday that the north-south road
along the bombing range has
been roughed through in its en
tire 14 mile length and that the
county hopes to start hauling
gravel about March 1. The new
road is a shortcut between the
Heppner-Lexington-Ione area and
the north end of the county.
The rough grading has been
completed well ahead of sche
dule, county judge Garnet Barratt
said, and except for one or two
bad spots, is now usable, though
the county doesn't encourage
travel on it until after the gravel
has been applied. It will be
completed for general use at least
by July 1, it was said. j
The roadway will be one of the
best county roads in the system
when completed, as it has been
built out to a 28 foot width for its
entire length.
