Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, May 26, 1955 Mustangs Take One Win at State to Close Track Season By Jim Monahan Sports drew to a close for Hepp ner high school as the Mustang cindermen brought back 4th place honors in the shotput and barely missed out copping laur els in the 440 at the state track meet last weekend at Salem. Capitalizing on the 4th place shotput honors was Larry Molla han who gave the 12 pound sphere a 124' 7" ride. Skip Ruhl was edged out in the 440 yard preliminaries by a scant foot. Other Heppner tracksters at the state meet were Jerry Haguewood, Lyle Jensen and Dick Kononen who composed the 880 yard relay team which had some hard luck and was disqualified for stepping into the wrong lane. Seniors who have exercised their track skill the last time for Heppner are Jerry Haguewood, Lyle Jensen, Larry Mollahan, Dick Kononen, Pete Slocum and Jim Hayes.1 The track future for the Mus tongs Is seemingly bright, how ever, as such standouts as Skip Ruhl, Mike Monohan, Dean Con nor and olhcrs will return next year. o County Agent News , .

A LOOK AT CHILD LABOR The American Law Institute Thousands of inexperienced j which has been called "the Ma children will join Oregon's work rine Corps of the legal profession" forces during the coming school-j was organized in 1923 as an elite less months. Their parents and body of lawyers dedicated to im employers can aid effectively in proving the law and its adminis instructing them about how to.tration. avoid accidents. The employment of minors in Oregon increased 4 per cent last year and is expected to have a higher lempo this year accord ing to investigations recently made by the State Bureau of Labor. Bureau studies revealed that 25 per cent of teen-agers suffering injuries in the course of their employment were hired illegally without approval of the minors' Jobs permits from the labor bu reau. Study of the factors affecting minors' accidents in legal em ployment reveals that many of the accidents could have been nrevented through training of vounn employes in safe use of edged tools. "The inexperienced are especially prone to accidents on the job and this is partly due to the fact that they are otten made aware only of production objective without instructions on efficient and safe working prac tices," State Labor Commission N. O. Nilsen emphasizes. Training young workers in the proper methods of lifting weights not regnrded as excessive under child labor standards also helps prevent occupational injuries and the loss of valuable time. Hand injuries accounted for approximately 50 per cent of in dustrial accidents to minors in 1954. Back strain was next fol lowed by bruised feet and legs. Boys on the job were eight times more liable to accidents than girls.

Grain, Seed Crops May Find Hay Uses Hay shortages in Oregon and neighboring states, coupled with below average yield prospects this year, may prompt harvesting of more grain and seed crops as hay, believe Oregon State college extension specialists. A scant 150,000 tons of hay on Oregon farms May 1, roughly half as much as a year earlier and only enough for two or three weeks normal feeding, was re corded by the USDA crop report ing service. Water shortages in some areas of . the state have dropped yield prospects for "tame" hay 8 per cent below last year, and the outlook for "wild" hay is even darker although somewhat im proved by April rains and snow. Wild hay meadows normally pro duce about one-fifh of Oregon's tonnage. Pastures may prove good bets for many Oregon farmers unable to make seedings of other crops planned earlier, OSC economists advise. Recent build-ups in feed grain and livestock, they say, may leave Oregon short on hay and pasture for some time. o Rev. J.
