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.

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.
