Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, TKurs'day, December 8, 1955 Mustangs Open Hone Hoop Play Saturday Night By James Monahan Heppners' Mustangs opened their 55-56 basketball season with a 12-4 win over Umatilla and a 11-6 loss to a scrappy Stanfield quint. Although the basketball team settled for a 5th place the Mustang rooting section was more successful and copped the award for the best cheering sec tion with a fine exhibition of pep and sportsmanship, at the Boardman Jamboree Thursday night. The Mustangs chance to cap ture laurels at the Arlington jamboree for the third straight year disappeared when a mid court shot by a Condon guard gave them a 4-2 decision, their first win over Heppner in nine games. Fossil's Falcons edged the Mustang quint with a 3-2 j win after the Mustangs had led' with less than a minute to play. Arlington, the pre-tourney choice, was beaten 8-6 by the Mustangs while Wasco and Ru fus also fell 8-1 and 6-2 respec tively. Tied for high pont honors at the Boardman jamboree were Tibbies and Ruhl with two has kets and two gift shots for a' total of six points each. John Piper canned four out of 5 free throws for runner-up honors while his brother Del dunked in a lone 2 pointer to end all scoring. Skip Ruhl dumped in three cripples and a long 20 footer to lead all scoring at the Arlington fracas. Scoring six points each were Tibbies and John Piper with Tibbies again taking advantage of the close up area. Two quick layins gave Del Piper 4 counters. Dick Ruhl hit on a short set from the side to register the first tally of the Wasco tussle. St. Joseph, the Eastern League co-champion, and McEwen, the other co-champion, are scheduled for the Mustangs on this week's court action. Friday night the Bluejays of St. Joe play host at the Pendleton Jr. high where the Mustangs are yet to win over the Jays since the 3 year series began. "Big Bill" Doherty and Pete and Paul Quaempts are the big threats to the Mustang victory hopes. The Jays got off to a winning start last weekend with a jam boree victory and a 1 point mar gin victory over St. Gertrude of Cottonwood, Idaho who were last year's champs in their district. McEwen, a surprisingly strong team, becomes the Mustang's first home game opponent. The strength of the Scotties quint is not known except for a big mar gin victories over Helix and Uklah in the Tilot Rock jamboree. Starting time for the prelimi nary game is 7:00 while the main contest of the evening is sche duled for 8:15. OSC Meterologists Suggest Plans for Oregon Rain "Shift" OREGON STATE COLLEGE Some of Oregon's excess winter rain that falls along the coast and is lost almost immediately into the ocean may someday be "carried over the mountains" to places inland that need more moisture, three Oregon State col lege meteorologists believe. They have raised the interest ing possibility of "suppressing" rain along the coast by over- seeding the clouds. That in turn would let the moisture-filled clouds be blown over the coast range and in crease the snowfall and rainfall in the Cascades and Eastern Ore. gon. Rain might be suppressed, they ; indicate, by introducing so many tiny ice crystals in the clouds that none would get big enough to produce rain. The ice crystals might be created in the clouds by means of dry ice from pianos of chemicals from generators. . The proposal for the "shift in storms" comes from Russell Lin coln, John Day and Fred Decker, members of the OSC physics de partment, who have made a care ful check of Oregon weather and rainfall patterns in past years. Along the Oregon coast, they point out, annual rain in some places approaches 150 inches. The great majority of it falls during winter months and most of the rain during that time flows almost directly into the ocean. Other regions of the state to the .east, on the other hand, could ' use more rain to tremendous ad vantage in crop production. They suggest the 40-mile stretch between the Yaquina and Nestucca rivers as a suitable test site for their plan if funds should be made available from some source. By carefully planning 'and setting up the experiment, they think the program could be ! tested in one or two winter oper- ' ations. A test by the U. S. advisory .committee on weather control is now being conducted at Mt. Wash, j ington, N. II., to explore in part ' the possibilities for cutting pre cipitation in a designated area , by deliberate overseeding of the clouds. lone Girl Pledged At Pacific U.

Meat Information Shoppers Survey Shows Low Score How much do Oregon shoppers know about the meat they buy? Dorothy Sherrill, consumer education specialist at Oregon State college, has announced re sults of a meat information sur vey taken this fall of 3000 farm and city people. Results show that only about one-third of those surveyed men and women from farm and city know what they are getting when they buy meat. "When you consider that on an average 23 cents out of every food dollar goes for meat, the amount peo ple don't know about meat be comes pretty significant," Miss Sherrill says. The survey on consumer "know how" was in the form of a simple test given visitors at Oregon State fair and the Pacific International Livestock Exposition. Volunteers were asked to match pictures of 15 meat cuts lamb, beef and pork with 15 names of cuts. People from 15 states, Hawaii and Canada participated in the survey. City people received scores about 4 percent higher than rural people. Television homemaking programs originating in metro politan areas may be a reason, Miss Sherrill explained. Helping conduct' the survey were three other OSC specialists Zelma Rei gle, consumer education, John Landers, animal husbandry, and William Fowler, livestock mar keting. In cities, shoppers are more apt to buy meat pre-packaged and labeled with cut-name at self service markets. Tray displays at retail markets also allow the over-the-counter purchaser to buy by names. On farms where butchering is done, some wives reported to Miss Sherrill that they never see the meat cuts. Men cut up the animal, package the cuts and meat goes to the locker labeled as roasts or steaks and not as definite cuts. Most common "misses" by men and women, farm and non-farm, were in confused identification of porterhouse and sirloin steaks. People called the porterhouse a roast and the flank steak was often checked as a "Frenched leg of lamb." Black and white pictures of cuts, instead of meat, may ac count for some mistaken identifi cations. However, clues were given identifying meat by color beef and lamb as bright red meat and pork as light pink. Locating bone and muscle structure, which is the same as in all three ani mals, was another help given. Beef rib roast was often mis named a pork roast because of generous fat deposits on the prime cut of beef. Most people were able to identify the snanK half of ham,, beef short ribs, leg of lamb and pork loin chops. Less expensive cuts were most often named wrong, yet according to Miss Sherrill are lust as nutri tious and good tasting as more expensive cuts. Buying more ex pensive cuts increase the demand and subsequently the price. "What we are trying to do is educate Oregonians on all the meat cuts, so they can make the best buy. We don't want to see people blindly buying more ex pensive cuts, simply because they don't know what to ask for," the consumer education specialist explained. The meat survey conducted by consumer education and meat marketing specialists at Oregon State college is part of a program of education and information on meat conducted in the state the past year. Thirty-four meat meetings in 30 Oregon counties have been helfl. o Mr. and Mrs. Bob Lowe took Will and Dave Hynd and Miss Nel lie Doney to Cecil vm Sunday to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R.
