ORE. mmtU Copies 10c Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, October 31, 1957 74th Year, Number 34 Heppner-Stanfield Game Friday Crucial Friday night's grid game with against no losses in the Cayuse Stanfield will probably prove to be the most important oneof the season for Heppner's Mustangs, for it will probably decide which of the two teams will represent district 7B in the state playoffs Stanfield todate holds the bet ter season record of four wins Special Session The special session of the leg islature called by Governor Rob ert D. Holmes for Oct. 28 con vened on schedule Monday morn ing although a skirmish to unseat House Speaker Dooley threaten ed a delay. He was accused of brashness and it took a plea from the governor to quiet the raid It is a regular session to all ap pearances including lobbyists In full force Not as many hours of down time as usual were consumed in getting the law-making machine going. Whatever is done about the in come tax surplus at the special session and which ever political party gets the spotlight for doing it, there most likey will be one or more initiative measures on the November 1958 special election ballot relating to Income taxes and their disposal. Tourist Figures The Oregon Trouble and In formation Department Is a tighter fitting name for the state's tour ist fetching department just now. A columnist's story from Wash ington, D. C. this week quoting Deparement of the Interior fig ures on tourist dollar returns of different states makes Oregon took like small potatoes, Our tourist promotion agency siaims tne figures quoted (1951 to 1955) were not up to date, were not accumulated in a careful manner by some states and have the tang of chamber of commerce urge Oregon's method of tabulating tourists, as done by the Traffic engineering Division of the Ore gon Highway Department, are si milar to those used by the widely recognized studies done yearly by tne Lurtis Publishing Company. witn some states the tourist count is comparable to letting a utile boy make his own report card. If Oregon followed the pat tern of some states we could count every communter over the interstate bridge who works in Portland some making four trips a day, also the many customers who shop in Portland (even for groceries) to evade the Washing ton sales tax. Oregon classifies a tourist as one who stays three or more days. According to William M. Tug man, Reedsport, chairman of the Advisory Committee of the state's tourist promotion agency Oregon conierence and three wins ag ainst no losses in the district Heppner also holds a 3 and 0 rec ord in the district, but does have one loss in its Cayuse conference record by virtue of its 20-19 de feat last Friday by Maupin. Dopesters give Stanfield the edge over the Mustangs in their Friday night get-together on the rodeo field at 8 p.m., partially as a result of Stanfield's 39 0 over whelming of of Echo last Friday. Heppner however, has shown ex eeptiona ability and has had little trouble dowining its other opponents this season. The squad was minus the services of one en tire side of its starting line for the Maupin game, due to flu and colds which undoubtedly played a big part in determining the final score, The Heppner squad under the direction of Coach Jim Mallon has been pointing for Friday's con test and unless flu makes new in roads the team is expected to be at full strength. . Prior to the Friday night game, hte chamber of commerce has made plans for a "quicky" noise parade to encourage the squad and advertise the game which will be the final home tussle of the season. o SPRAY HIGHWAY CONTRACT LET The Bureau of Public Roads this morning awarded a con tract to Calkins Construction Co. of Ocean Lake, Oregon for the grading and bituminous surfacing of 4.2 miles of the Heppner-Spray highway south from the end of the present surfacing at Rock Creek.

Thurs. 43 36 .10 Fri. 46 38 .08 Sat. 51 42 . Sun. 50 35 . Mon. 52 40 . Tues. 55 31 .. Wedn.es. 71 47 . Rainfall for the week, .18; fot October, 3.02; for the year, 14.50 Inches. Almost 584,000 cc's of tax pur chased Salk vaccine have been distributed fbcally in Oregon since initiation of the National Polio Vaccine Assistance act of 1955, the State Board of Health revealed this week. The tax-purchased vaccine is restricted to persons up to the age of 20 and expectant mothers. Sup plies have been available through private physicians, who may charge for the Injection but not for the vaccine. Although the program has of ficially ended throughout the Un ited States, vaccine supplies on hand or on order are expected to keep the program rolling until sometime next year in many states. Both the tax-purchased and commercial vaccination programs reportedly have been lagging badly in Oregon since late last spring, although numerous In dustries have recently scheduled mass clinics for workers. These adult vaccinations usually are performed by plant physicians utilizing vaccine made available by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Although Oregon has only re corded 35 cases of polio this year, compared with 115 for the same period last year and a six-year median of 231 cases, the State Board of Health warned that not enough of the population Is pro tected yet to rule out the possibil ity of outbreaks in future years. Dr. Harold M. Erickson, state health officer, said reports indi cate protective levels are partic ularly low among pre-school children, those of high-school age, and young adults. He said about three-fourths of all polio cases are In persons un der the age of 20, and almost all the remaining cases are in the 20 40 year age group. The Morrow county health de partment will continue its regu lar monthly. Immunization clinics through December, 1957, at which the tax-free Salk vaccines will be given to all expectant mothers and children up to 20 years of age. Vaccine has also been made available for persons in the 20 40 year age group through the local March of Dimes campaign. After Dec, 1957, the health department immunization pro gram will be limited to the usual school immunization program du ring February, March and April of each school year. The date of the next health department office Immunization clinic will be Novemer 15 be tween 1 and 2 p.m. r
