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

Division, is the first automobile designed to take full advantage of the nation's budding
new improved highway system. Styled to give American motorists maximum driving
pleasure, comfort and safety as they travel the new turnpikes, it features virtually un
obstructed vision in every direction. Transparent plastic "butterfly" roof inserts lift up
automatically when doors are opened to permit ease of entrance and exit. Completely

Farm Equipment,

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.
It is open to all persons Including
youngsters in the fifth grade or
over. All novices are also urged
to attend. There is no charge.
The classes are held at Smith's
home, 114, W. 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.

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
