J Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, January 5, 1956 3V Knappa Sinks Local Five.- Umatilla, St. Joseph Next By James Monahan Heppner's Mustangs lost, their first home game in nearly 2 years last Thursday night when the re fending State "B" champions, Knappa's timber topping "log gers," sawed the Munsangs off at the hooves by a 53-3G trouncing. Coach Larry Dowen's quint was stopped cold by the sagging man-to-man defense that continually kept the Mustang "5" shots com ing from 25 to 30 feet out. The distance gave the Mustangs a very low shooting average for the night as they registered a cool 25 while the fouls shooting averaged out to another low of 26. Puggy Hunt and Company held the Heppner squad to six tallies, all of which were field goals; and in the meantime, racked up 13 points to take a 13-6 halftime lead. Knappa's fast break gave the Loggers a quick 10 point lead before the Mustangs scored on a long shot by Ruhl. Tibbies, held scoreless the first period, dropped through two long scores to lead the Mustangs in second stanza scoring as the blue and gold cagers rang up a total of 8 points but Knappa kept In front by scoring 9 to take a 22 14 halftime lead. Hunt, "All State" center of last year's state tournament, poured through 12 counters in the second half and pulled his team ahead at the third quarter pasting a 35 25 score. John Piper, Mustang forward, aided a losing cause in the third and final periods by lacing the net with 10 points after being kept scorless the first half. The Loggers ran away In the final period by scoring 18 tallies to the Mustangs 11. Hunt took the high point hon ors for the night while Ruhl paced the Heppner cagers with 15. Coach Larry Dowen's hoopsters venture to Umatilla for a Cayuse conference tilt Friday night and play a return game on the home floor with Ned Mclnvers Blue jays of St. Joseph tills Saturday night. Heppner's first loss of the sea son came at the hands of the Bluejay quint and revenge is sought by the blue and gold cagers. Up-at ilia, a victim of the Mus tang "5" at the Boardman jam boree, is expected to give the Mustangs a rough fight as the game is to be played on the f Viking's home floor m ,,,.., i aJL The XM-Turnpike Cruiser, an unusual, experimental model created by Mercury Division, is the first automobile designed to take full advantage of the nation's budding new improved highway system.

Need Reflectors Fewer daylight hours and fog gy nights have increased the needs for reflective material on equipment moved on highways, caution a member of the gover nor's safety committee, Burton Hutton, state 4-H club leader at Oregon State College. During the past two years, 4-H club members and Future Farm ers of America chapters distribu ted enough tape to "light up" mo bile equipment on 700 farms In Oregon as part of the "Reflector ize to Stay Alive" safety cam paign. It is being continued this year. Use of reflective tape on farm equipment, cattle passes, rail road crossings and on sides of trucks is being promoted. Club members are also checking dan ger spots in barns and homes In cooperation with five mutual In surance companies in the Willa mette Valley. "We want people to be aware of all hazards," says Hutton. Mable Mack, assistant director of the OSC extension service and safety committee secretary, re minds parents that children may be in danger walking to and from schools in foggy weather. "Twenty-five cents worth of tape ap plied to raincoats and overshoes, may save a child's life", she says. Last year in Coos county, 500 children were given reflective covered buttons to wear on outer garments. Although Oregon has been one of the nation's 13 worst states as far as farm and home accl dents are concerned, Mrs. Mack reported the state's record im proved last year. It is still the blackest state record In the Pa cific Northwest, however. Cali fornia and Washington have a lower percentage of accidents, according to Mrs. Mack. o Farmer Eligibility In Social Security Benefits Discussed The form for making a report and remitting the required tax for social security Insurance (Schedule SE) comes with the federal income tax return, Form 1040. If your net earnings from farming were as much as $400 in 1955, you are obliged to fill out and file this return and pay the social security tax, according to Becker, even if you do not owe any federal income tax for 1955. Older farmers those 65 or over can retire after March 1956 and start getting monthly old-age insurance payments if they have met the earnings requirements and paid their tax. Other farm ers, regardless of age, will ac quire family protection in the form of monthly payments to surviving dependents in the event of their death, provided they meet the same requirements. In either case, the payment of tht social security tax must ac company the income tax declara tion or return, Becker emphasizes. This responsibility is required by law. Further information on social security taxes may be obtained from internal revenue service of fices. Information about bene fits may be obtained from social security district offices. If you don't know where these offices are, your postmaster can tell you, says Becker. o RADIO CLASSES TO START The second annual radio class will start next Monday, Jan. 9, Ray Smith instructor announced.

Center st. o LAST FIRE CALL EASY . Heppner firemen received their last fire call of 1955 Friday after noon only to find there was no fire. It was reported that the Earl Gilliam home on West Balti more was on fire, but it is thought that heavy smoke from a near by chimney gave the impression that the house was on fire. o Mr. and Mrs. Chester Trusky of farmers , Pendleton were here for the fune ral of Joe Snyder.

The answer to everyday Insurance problems By Turner Van Matter & Bryant Most self-employed and danchers will not establish eligibility for insurance benefits under the social security law un til they make income tax decla ration in January 1957, reports Manning Becker, Oregon State college farm management spec ialist. It is possible, however, for far mers t0 become eligible in 1956 if , Mrs. E. K. Schaffitz. Does 'Northwestern' Have A Larger Run of Good and Choice Quality Cattle Each Week? The answer is because farmers and ranchers receive from $1 to $2 cwt. more for their stock at 'Northwestern' than in any other place or manner of selling. WHY DO THEY RECEIVE HIGHER PRICES (AT LESS COST) AT 'NORTHWESTERN'? The answer Is because buyers in large numbers from a wide area recognize 'Northwestern' as a dependable source of clean sanitary, well-handled cattle.

The educational-type contest to promote better flockmanagement anrt marketing is sponsored by trie uregon Purebred Sheep Breed ers association and Oregon State college extension service. A major function of the pro gram is to provide information exchange among growers on pro fitable practices recorded on sheep production forms available from county agents. Hubbard said even though flock operators! (io not enter competition, the orms will provide valuable in formation on an easv wav to keep records. Complicated book keeping is not necessary, he sta ted, to analyze flock production from year to year. The contest committee has re commended a public tour next winners in the 1955 contest. Sec retary S. A. Jackson, Benton county extension agent, said a two-day tour has been suggested, probably in April. Last year's winners focused at tention on the value of market ing lambs early for greatest pro fits. John Landers and Harry Lindgren, OSC livestock special ists who analyzed the 1955 pro duct ion forms, noted a 50 percent spread between the highest and lowest gross income contestants. Much of the difference, they said hinged to hitting early top mar kets with prime and choice lambs. uiey nave earneu as mucn as $400 from farming in each of the caienar years 1955 and 1956. But along with this goes responsibil ity to report earnings from farm- ng and to pay the 3 percent soc ial s?curity tax not later than April 15, 1956. The social secur ity administration has suggested payments be made early as possible. Becker believes most farmers will normally establish' their eli gibility next January when they report total earnings for 1956. Where conditions warrant, retro active insurace benefit payments will be made from the time the person becomes eligible. I Mrs. Sadie Riaag of Pendleton is visiting with her sister, Mrs.! Joe Snyder.
