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.

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.

Prompt Selective
Service Registration
Still Necessary
Robert Eaton," Condon, chair
man of local Selective Service
board No.31, states: "The cur
rently reduced monthly calls for
induction in Oregon has resulted
in an increased letdown of
prompt registration by young
men upon reaching the age of
eighteen years. 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.

Traffic Deaths in
County Show Increase
During Past Year
Two Oregon counties, Clacka
mas and Douglas, held the line
against increasing traffic deaths
in 1956, recording exactly the
same number of fatalities as in
1955.
Even more important to state
traffic safety officials, 21 of the
state'36 counties reported fewer
deaths than in the preceding
year . Thirteen other counties,
however, recorded higher death
tolls.
One of the highest increases in
traffic deaths came in Klamath
county where accidents claimed
31 lives for a 63 percent increase
over 1955, according to the Ore
gon Traffic Safety Commissioner.
Counties reporting fewer
deaths last year than in 1955
were Clatsop, Columbia, Coos.
Crook, Curry, Deschutes, Gilliam,
Harney, Jefferson, Josephine,
Lake, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Mal
heur, Marion, Polk, Sherman,
Umatilla, Wallowa and Yamhill.
Higher death counts were re
corded in Baker, Benton, Grant,
Hood River, Jackson, , Morrow,
Multnomah, Tillamook, Union,
Wasco, Washington, Wheeler and
Klamath counties.
Morrow county had three
deaths during 1956 ,an increase
of two over 1955.
