Pegs 8 Hepprvs't GatefTs Timea, THufs&ay, October 11, 1956 Mustangs Thumped By Stanfield; Meet Elgin Friday By Jim Morris Heppner's Mustangs traveled to Stanfield Friday evening October 5 where they tangled with the high spirited Tigers and emerged cn the short end of a 27-7 count. Until this game the Tigers had scored 133 points and had held their opponents to 0. The game opened as the Mus tangs returned the kick to their own 47 yard line. From here they were able to move only 5 yards until the alert Tiger defense in tercepted a Mustang pass. But this proved to be of no value as the Mustangs intercepted a Tiger pass a few plays later From here the Mustangs and Tigers fought back and forth in a scoreless duel until the second quarter when the Tigers struck for 2 quick touchdowns. After the Ti gers scored their second tally the Horse men were given a spark of hope as Dick Ruhl returned the kickoff 82 yards to paydirt which was the first time an opponent had scored on the Stanfield eleven all year. As the quarter ended the score stood 13-7 in favor of the Tigers. In the second half the Mus tangs came back fired up for a victory and they looked more aggressive as they held the Tigers in the thifd stanza but their spirit was broken as the Tigers scored 14 points in the last quarter and the game ended 27 7. Next game is October 12 at Elgin in which the Mustangs will try to avenge their 7-7 tie with the Huskies last year. CAPITAL PARADE (Continued from Page 7) legislature for the present 1955 57 blennium. Some of the heavier increases were imploratlons of the Board of Higher Education, $14,807,399; Board of Control, for institutions $3,764,037; Oregon Technical In stitute, $2,524,956; Military de partment, $1,583,860; State Police $684,910; Department of Welfare, $501,073. The budget figures will be scrutinized by Finance Director It. R. Johnson then the governor will pass judgment and present the budget to the legislature, where anything can happen. A few weeks ago Governor Smith reportedly said he intend ed to balance the budget this bl ennium. But this week he said he did not think the present bud get figures "would" be lowered. He probably expects the legisla ture to hold close to present fig ures. This is something the legislature lias seldom accom plished. Miss Ida Estberg of Portland was a weekend guest of lirr sis ter, Mrs. Mary Cason. Industrial Progress Tied to Increased Farm Yield, Surplus The farm problem today isn't all the farmer's doing, believes Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State college. Industrial progress has had a hand in upping farm production, she says, through its contribu tion to an increasing use of tech nology on farms upping yields and cutting manpower needs. Greater farm use of nonfarm supplies such as chemcial ferti lizers, machines, gasoline and oil, and otherlabor-saving or production-increasing commodities makes for increased efficiency on the farm, Mrs. Horrell observes. And use of these materials and machines helped each farm worker produce enough food, fiber and tobacco to supply him self and 19 other persons last year. In 1940, each farm worker was able to produce only enougti for himself and 10 other persons. This increased' use of technol ogy on farms has led to an in creasing farm production, and has added to commodity credit corporation (CCC) investments, Mrs. Horrell points out. On June 30, CCC investments in farm pro ducts added up to $S!4 billion, according to the U. S. department of agriculture close to a billion dollars more than a year earlier. Products on hand with the CCC are made up largely of wheat, cotton, and corn, totaling an in ventory of around $6 billion, the USDA report says. Loans out to farmers, primarily on cotton, corn, tobacco, and wheat total another 2V billion. However, USDA is working hard to make full use of the pro ducts coming in, Mrs. Horrell said, In addition to farm products moved out under other surplus disposal programs, donations of surplus foods nearly doubled last year. About two billion pounds of farm products were dis tributed at home and abroad under the donation program alone. o State Travel High During August August travel in Oregon hit an all-time high with 744,591,898 miles driven. The figure represents an in crease of slightly more than 13 million miles over August of last year. At the same time, the depart ment of motor vehicles traffic safety division said the state's mileage deatli rate for August lias been set at six deaths for each 100 million miles of travel. The rate was 5.7 in August a year ngo. J Both figures are computed from ' reports of gasoline sales to the department. o Mr. and Mrs, Harry Slyter of Portland have, been visiting at the Ambrose Chapin home for a few days.

ORDER CHRISTMAS CARDS NOW PRICED FROM 25 for WITH YOUR NAME IMPRINTED HeppnerGazette Times Corn Worm Infests Boardman Crops Corn ear worm infestation in the Boardman-Hermiston area is much heavier than in previous years, according to word received here from the state department of agriculture. All corn fields in the two areas suffer 100 percent infestation by this insect pest. One field near Boardman has as many as five worms per ear f corn, reported the? department's survey ento mologists who conducted the local checks. Damage by the corn ear worm shows up in the number of dam aged kernels per ear of corn. In jury by tliis insect pest also causes rot and mold which affect the quality of corn. o Justice And Municipal Courts Benjamin Robert Bader, failure to tag deer, fined $23. Donald Bryson Diekerson, fail ure to stop at stop sign, fined $10. o CIVIC LEAGUE TO MEET MONDAY NIGHT The Heppner Civic League will meet Monday night at the home of Mrs. Hubert Jones with the main business to be sorting of rummage for the league's coming rummage sale. Sale chairmen Mrs. Hay Myrick and Mrs. Jones have asked that anyone having rummage to do nate for the sale to leave it at Jack's Chevron station or call either of the chairmen for pick ups. The rummage is needed as soon as possible. o GARAGE SUFFERS IN WEDNESDAY ACCIDENT A ear driven by Dick Ruhl went off the road Just west of Heppner Wednesday morning and crashed into the side of a garage belong ing to E.

At least three persons will be selected this month to spend six months with farm families in other lands during 1957. Young people who are between the ages of 20 and 30, single, with farm backgrounds, and who can spend time after their return to the United States sharing their experiences with others, are eli gible for trips. Applications should be made to county extension agents or the state 4 H office, OSC. OSC Receives Grant To Study Radiation Resistant Bacteria A search for microorganisms able to withstand normally lethal doses of atomic radiation has been started at Oregon State college, according to Dr. P. B. Elliker, chairman of the bacteri ology department. The study, financed by a $15, 000 grant from the quartermaster food and container Institute of the armed forces, will try to de Towel Test Results Reported by OSC; Cottons Wear Best Linen fabrics might be better than cotton for some household jobs, but cotton holds up better than linen after repeated laun derings, according to recent stu dies at Oregon State college. Comparison of cotton, cotton-flax-linen towelings show that for some soap and water jobs, cot ton works best, and in others linen might be more satisfactory termine how many kinds of mic- j.n drying tests continued by trirninicrvit! nun ii ri t o o n A iAr , . i i . AC1 i Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Don Bellenbrock over the weekend were her brother-in-law and sis ter, Mr. and Mrs. Hurley Kohlman and two children of Portland who were here for the hunting. The Kohlmans also visited other rela-l tives. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Doolittle were in Elgin the middle of the roorganisms can withstand radia tion levels normally used to sterilize food. Need for the study grew out of the discovery last year by the OSC agricultural exerirr.ent sta tion of bacteria able to withstand a radiation dosage of 4 million roentgens almost twice the amount that can be used to steri lize meat without causing unna tural flavors or other changes. Dr. A. W. Anderson, OSC bac teriologist, emphasized that the radiation-resistant bacteria aren't disease producing and are easily killed with heat. They can cause spoilage of food products, however. The new study will examine food products exposed to atomic radiation at normal sterilization levels, to see if there are other microorganisms that can with stand this level of radiation. Meat, poultry, fish and dairy pro ducts will be checked. Ways to quickly identify radi ation -resistant microorganisms will be studied during the pro ject, and the scientists will also look into the food-using and other life habits of any resistant organisms they discover. Use of mild heating, entibiotics, spices, salt, and other materials or methods that may control or lower a microorganism's resist ance to radiation are due for in vestigation. Work on the study will be headed by Anderson and Elliker, assisted by graduate students Dennis Duggan and Miss Frances Duryea. Dr. Robert Cain and Dr. H. W. Schultz of the OSC food technology department will co operate in the project. o Harry L. Wilson of Hopewell. N. J., is visiting his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Avery Taylor and his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wilson. Mrs. Ruth Lee of Portland and Don Olson of Garibaldi were weekend hunting guests of Mr. and Mrs. Don Greenup. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bedford re turned Sunday from a business trip to Portland. Florence Petzel, head of the OSC clothing and textiles department, new cotton towelings absorbed wore water than linen ones to a certain point. As cotton became "wetter", it's absorbency decreas ed. This means, that for an or dinary bath of dishes, new cot ton towels do a good job of dry ing, Miss Petzel explains. But for big dishwashing jobs, fewer linen towels could be used to dry dishes because linen absorbs more wa ter after it's damp tjian cotton. In tests on new towelings, linen dries faster, but didn't take up as much moisture as all-cotton or cotton-flax mixtures. With re peated launderings, linen be comes lighter and doesn't dry as linen towels do not leave "lint" and feel smoother to the touch, which makes them ideal for pol ishing and dusting, the OSC home' economist says. Because of its absorbency, a damp linen cloth is handy to wipe up spilled liquids. After continued use of both ma terials, tests revealed that cotton fibers withstand repeated laun derings better than linen. Cotton threads seemed to hold up better than linen that had gone through several wash cycles. The studies were made by the OSC researcher to learn more about drying properties of differ ent fabrics for household and industrial uses. o Local News In Brief The Rev. and Mrs. George Lit tle and daughter Grace left Sun day for Richmond, Virginia to visit his mother who is ill.
