In State Meet
By Larry Mollahan
The miserable- weather at La
Grande last Saturday had little
or no effect on the running abil
ity of four Heppner boys, as a
matter of fact it acted as sort of
a catylist to the winning squad.
For the first time in this
writer's memory, Heppner has
sent a relay team from the dis
trict track to the state meet in
t'orvallis.
The team won the 880 yard re
lay in 1:40 for a new Heppner
high school record.
Larry Mollahan heaved the
discus 117' 6V-." to take first and
win a berth to state.
Skip Ruhl will be competing in
two events this Friday. Ho took
second place in the 410 yard dash.
Jerry Haguewood-registered a
fourth ulace ribbon in the jave
lin throw and" a third place in the
220.
Dick Kononen went over the
low hurdles to take fourth.
Long distance runner Mike
Monahan came in fifth in the
mile.
The team scoring: the winner,

errors and a two bagger spelled
defeat to the Mustangs.
The team wound up the 1955
season with eight wins and three
losses.

Ruhl, Ed Olson, Jerry Dougherty
and Dick Kononen each scored a
run for Heppner.

Closed Season Now
On in Forest Lands
Closed season on the use of fire
on private and public forest lands
is again in effect as of April 1, it
was revealed this week by state
board of Forestry.
Burning permils are required
for burning brush, grass, stubble
or other debris on or within 18
mile of forest land. There have
been some inquiries as to the rea
son burning permits are required
in the early spring and iaie iau
following rain showers. One rea
son for this is that the rainfall
may be quite scattered or heavy crease being cue 10 oeu,r que.

The following is a list of some
nf the hasic renuirements that
apply to logging operations and
equipment:
1. Sufficient fire tools will be
nrovided at each landing to
equip the entire woods personnel
for fire fighting.
2. Provide tool box with lia,

box can be sealed.
3. Provide an adequate spark
arrester on all gasoline engines.
4. Provide l'2 quart tire extin

machine and logging truck.
5. Each power saw to be
equipped with 8 oz. or larger
pressure extinguisher and one
shovel with 36-inch handle.
fi. No smokinc while working
in or traveling in or through any
operation or unreleased slash
area.
7. An axe and shovel are re
quired on logging trucks in ad
dition to the fire extinguisher".
Additional requirements may
be made by the forester where
conditions warrant it.
Another requirement which ap
plies to this area and is in effect
the year around is that it shall
be unlawful for any person to
harvest timber or other forest
products for commercial purpose
or to operate power driven equip
ment without first obtaining a
written permit from the Stale
Forester at Salem.
The very good public coopera
tion in the past has been greatly
appreciated and has done much
to keep damages to forest land

minimum.

The answer to everyday
Insurance problems
By Turner Van Marter
& Bryant
QUESTION: Just how much
Bodily Injury and Property
Damage insurance is a per
son supposed to carry these
days in order to feel safe
in driving?
ANSWER: Any competent
insurance agent would want
to know something of your
individual circumstances
before stating an exact
amount. However the high
er limits cost very little
more than basic coverage
which in these days doesn't
give enough protection to
anyone.
If you'll address your own
insurance questions to this
office, we'll try to give you
th correct answers and
there will be no charge or
obligation of any kind.

OSC Reports New
Lead in Study
Of White Muscle
White muscle disease wide
spread killer of calves and lambs
through distructton ot muscie
tissue has been produced ex
perimentally in its most extreme
form by an Oregon State college
research team.
Recent death of a two-weeks-old
calf from a "white muscle
heart" gives the scientists their
first tangible clue in a two-year
search for prenatal effects of
feeds.
The test calf was born of a cow
fed only alfalfa hay and cull red
beans during pregnancy. Sus
pected relation of the disease to
high legume rations oi pregnant
cows and ewes has oeen unaer
study by J. E. Oldfield, animal
husbandman. O. H. Muth, veteri
narian, and L. F. Remmert, agri
cultural chemist. While the di
sease has been produced experi
mentally in lambs with this type
ration, it is the first time it has
been done with calves.
The disease has baffled science
for years and has cost the na
tional livestock industry millions
of dollars. It has forced some
Oregon cattle and sheep produc-

Alhough white muscle appears
to'be linked to nutrition, the pos
sibility of inherited tendency for
the disease hasn't yet been ruled
out by the OSC team. No other
outward appearance of the di
sease has been noted in calves or
lambs during the two years' feed- '
ing trials with 10 cows and 10
ewes. Four oi ine cows nave not
yet calved this year. All animals
were drawn irom xne college
stock herd which had no previous
white muscle history.
Paralytic symptoms of the di
sease result from degeneration of
the muscle, which loses normal
color. Death from recorded cas?s
of white muscle heart has varied
in time from birth to -three
months. Attacks in limb muscles
cause "stiff" lambs and calves
which are often unable to pursue,
and usually die.
Further research plans call for
attemptsto link certain chemical
compounds in legume-bean ra
tion with the disease.
