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.

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.
