So please don your specs and start to peruse And I'll fill you in on the latest link news. Old Mr. Weather has certainly been generous with his "son" for our ladies' day competition. (He must be a ladies man). It was such a beeeautiful day Tuesdsay and 24 women defied the flu bug to play the required nine holes. Speaking of the flu, I think one "girl golfer" is quite delighted with this venomous little virus, for due to its influx in our small town she was able to play with us for the first time. (Beverly Gundorson is her name. A high school secretary Is her "game". And the school has been closed you know. So that's why she was able to go.) One of our grandmothers broke into the winners circle this week . . . Coramae Ferguson was "aw arded a new golf ball for the low score and we were all so proud of her. (I think she was quite de lighted herself). Dee Gribble re ally had the lowest score, but as I told you before she has played longer and has declared herself out of the running for the prize until our handicaps are esablish ed. We also had a prize for the fewest number of putts on the nine holes, but Bonnie Mattoon, Dolores McDowell, Polly Dough erty and this tee totaler tied, so we will play it off next week. I have never seen a ladies day that had so many women search ing for lost balls; in fact there was even a "rescue chain" in op eration. (You know, the kind they use in life-saving work). Bonnie Mattoon was chief retriever, as she was the one doing all the groping in the water. Holding on to her was Dolores McDowell, who was held by Ruth Van Wink le; and their foothold on top of the bank was in the personage From The County Agent's Office By N. C Anderson A new high for the year in calf total acreage of 3,920 acres. This sales by producer sponsored sales was reached at a feeder sale at Baker Monday. Eighteen hundred heifer and steer calves were sold with a top of $28.25 for steers and a top of $24.10 for heifers. Steers averaged $25.19; heifers $23.54. County livestock associations sponsored feeder sales this fall have reported an average of 2 or more cent per pound above con tract sales in the area. Word recently received from Oregon State college was to the effect that Morrow county head ed the list in total acreage of Burt wheat for certification in 1957. Morrow county had 686 acres of Burt passing certification this year. Eight other varieties were inspected in the state-wide certi fication program for a combinod STAR THEATER Thurs., Frl., Sat..

But even after all this effort the little white ball remained quite evasive and re tired for good in its watery do main. Attention all you doltyourself- ers (a new word) . . . Jack Loyd made his own golf cart for a very, very, nominal sum and it is a beautiful piece of workmanship. Our course seems to get prettier every week, and thanks to Low ell Gribble, Clint McQuarrie, Al Fetsch and a power saw, we are now minus a few hazardous trees in our slough; which makes shooting out and over this men ace much easier. An item of interest . . . Mrs. Ken Peck's mother, Mrs. Clarence Urey of Eugene, played the course last week and shot the low, low score of 49 for the first time on our course. Lucille (Mrs. Peck) who has just joined our country club also shot a low score of 55 for her first time on our links. Seems as though this family knows quite a bit about golf, I am very happy to report that our green fee box, which was in stalled for non-members who wanted to play the course has thus far netted us $20. I would say this was a wonderful indica tion that we have some very hon est golfers wro do not belong to the country club. While I am on the subject of belonging, Jan Do won reports we now have a mem bership of 100 golfers (Pretty good for such a small town don't you think). One more announcement before I close . . . next ladies day we will draw for "hidden partners" after we have played the nine holes and the two with the com bined lowest scores will win. (Sounds rather complicated I know, but should prove inter esting.) Well, my "perkin" pot" is down to a simmer And the thoughts In my head seem to grow dimmer. Thus I'll close, s i please drink up But join me again over the tee cup.

Herb Hughes, Nebraska wheat grower and president of the Na tional Association of Wheat Grow ers reported to approximately 150 wheat growers from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana Tuesday of this week a new farm program which is expected to be presented to Congress for their consideration this winter.

ON BUYING, BUT NOT PAYING FOR, A NEW HOPPED UP DETROIT SPECIAL , n irrhiin (mm I.uisitania. The little cars (The following timely editorial comment was written by Fred Hans and appeared last week in his North Bond (Ore. News. We think his thoughts appropriate). The new flock of cars are upon us, and they all look pretty good to me. About the only prob lem I have any more in picking out a new car is determining how I can pay for it. Most all of them have big motors, floating rides; air streamed front ends and fins of one kind or the other. Somebody said the other day that Americans are so busy making money and buying other things that a car no longer has the social pres tige it once had. I don't know which Americans are making all the money, but indications are some of them are. This fellow said people need a boat or 2, an outboard motor, a cabin in the mountains and a trip to Europe and that this has a dampening effect on the social standing of the automobile. He even pointed out that lots of people are will ing to settle for the little foreign cars because about all they want from an automobile is trans portation. The haven't heard about this fellow's views in Detroit because the manufacturers continue to put on more and more do-dads and gee-gaws, without which you can't get along, but for which you must pay the price. Most all cars are more expensive this year which should make the second hand models like mine worth more money. Eut economics get lost in this transaction and the only direction used cars seem to go is down. But even so, I would rather have an old big car than a new small one. I wasn't built to wrap around the steering post of a Wejsenhammer . i. . i .v, liUo thpm. Ill are an ngnt ior me peupic wnu - - take mine straight and American, and there is not any nationalistic pride at work here either. The car people in Detroit have me figured out just right, but I do wish they would concentrate on how we are to pay for their latest creations. Changing Times recently came up with some startling facts, and when I got through reading it I couldn't figure out how I could own a car at all. This magazine said that it costs about $775 a year to own a car if you drive it 5,000 miles a year and about $952 if your car is driven 10,000 miles. The only way a $5,000 a year family can keep its auto expenses within 10 percent of income is to drive it only 7,000 miles a year, and to buy a used car about every 4 years. With an average income of $5,000 a year, and an average 10,000 miles of driving, the Ameri can family may well be broke by its automobile. That is why, then, the little woman Is always commenting that we have no money in the ex chequer. I don't expect anybody to pay any attention to these figures, nor will I. Sometime again the prospect of owning a gleaming grey monster with a 450 horsepower engine and automatic steering will overcame sanity and I shall be back in the clutches of the bank, singing the 18 percent blues, but happy all the same. Detroit knows this, too, and like the cigaret manufacturers they don't worry much about sta tistics. If cigaret makers can continue to sell their products with most all of us knowing death lurks in every puff, I can safely predict a bright future for the car people. - Arrangements have been com-1 and program is the Heppner-Mor-pleted for the annual Fifrm-City 1 row County Chamber of Corn banquet which will be held In the merce, Morrow County Farm Bur American Legion hall in Heppner eau, Heppner Soil Conservation on Monday evening, November i District and the extension serv 25.
