Pagt 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, January 31, 1957 Mustangs Hold Stanfield to Narrow Victory By Jim Morels Heppner's Mustang's traveled to Stanfield Friday night where they tangled with the highly rated Tigers and almost turned the game into an upset as they gave the Tigers a tussei to long be remembered. They weren't able to keen un the pace as they dropped the game by a count of 40-32. The Mustanes opened the game by taking an 8-2 advantage early in the first panel. The Titrers found their range midway in the period as they hit for seven quick ones and held the Mustangs to one counter. I he Tigers continued the pace in the second stanza and at halftime they held their biggest lead of the evening at 21-12. After the halftime stop the Mustanes came back strong to outscore the Tigers and at one time pulled within two points of the Tigers, but the Mustang de fense weakened in the latter minutes of the game and the Tigers "clawed" their way to a big victory.

Phon 6-9228 Farm Housing and Building Loans Now Available in County A line of credit is now avail able from Farmers Home Ad ministration in this area to Im prove or build new farm build ings, such as milk houses, loaf ing sheds, storage facilities, tac, including houses. It may also be used to provide water for household or farmstead use, for borrowers or their tenants. It is the belief of Carl Knigh ton, chairman, of the Farmers Home Administration committee In Morrow county that many farm owners could improve their farm buildings and increase the potential earnings of their farms. The importance of getting maxi mum production to meet operat ing costs cannot be over empha sized. Nationally, 1700 loans have been made during the past seven months for building pur poses. In addition to being a farm owner, the applicant must re ceive substantial gross income from the farm and other re sources to meet family living and farm operating expenses in or der to repay his loan and other debts. Farm housing loans are repay able over periods up to 33 years at 4 interest and are secured by a mortgage on the farm. Farm owners and families operating part-time farms may obtain information at 105 S. E. Byers Avenue, Pendleton. James S. Cody, county supervisor, will be glad to provide a complete explanation of these loans at 10:00 a. m., Mondays of each week.

Young men are coming In to register anywhere from two weeks to several months after their eighteenth birthdav. He further says, "This is not a wilful disregard of the law in most Instances, but is considered to be an oversight. It is a con dition, however, that should be promptly corrected." He concluded with a warning, "Even though inductions may continue to be very light, and to a large extent may be filled by those volunteering for induction, the Universal Military Training and Service Act still requires every young man to register with Selective Service at the local board office or with an appoint ed registrar within five days after he attains the age of eighteen."

First National Bank Names New Directors; Year's Earnings High The election of two new di rectors and the announcement of record high earnings during 1956 were highlights of the annual meeting of shareholders of First National Bank of Portland held last week. The new members of the board are John D. Gray, president of Oregon Saw Chain corporation, and Carl Schram, partner In the contracting firm of Parker-Sch-ram. They will replace Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., former president of First National, and Edward B. Stanton, railroad executive, who asked to be relieved of their duties. Belgrano and Stanton vacated their positions because they have both moved from Oregon, and have found it increasingly dif ficult to regularly attend the monthly meetings of the board. The year 1956 was a prosper ous one for First National, the president told the stockholders. "The growth of the bank, mea sured in number of customers served and additional facilities to provide that service, also accelerated. More people visi ted First National offices, wrote more checks and used other banking services to a greater ex tent than ever before," he as serted. Net operating earnings, after taxes but before reserves, totaled $6,159,219 or $3.85 per share for 1956, an increase of 7.8 per cent over the preceding year and the highest on record. Net profit was $5,512,557, or $3.45 per share on the 1,600,000 shares outstanding. Taxes on operating income were $5,379,900 last year a sum sufficient to provide the land, buildings and fixtures for nearly 60 new neighborhood branches like the one recently completed in the Waverly district of Albany. First National's philosophy of neighborhood banking was ex pressed concretely last year by completion of new quarters for seven branches. Three of these Waverly in Albany and Wal nut Park and S. W. Sixth & Lin coln in Portland represent ad ditions to the system, making a total of 74 offices.
