HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. November 20. 1958 Culver Nips Lexington For State Title in Grid "Snowball Derby" The Culver high school Bull dogs slipped, slid and sloshed their way to a 28 to 13 victory over the Lexington Jackrabbits Saturday afternoon on the Hepp ner rodeo field In a 6-man foot ball game that might well have been labeled "the snowball derby. The game, semi-finals In the state 6-man grid playoff, sent the Culver sauad into the finals and left Lexington hold ing down either third or fourth place in the state, which is still a creditable position for a high school with just 20 students. A covering of snow on the field made officiating the title scrap just as difficult as it did playing in It. About one Inch of white stuff obliterated all yard marking lines and the snow continued to Ian all dur lng the game putting the fast Lex squad at a disadvantage and making the ball hard to hang on to for both teams. The Jackrabbits were outweighed as much as 25 pounds per man by the heavy Culver team and wore also hampered by the Injury of Hank Pointer, who saw only part-time service during the game. Culver showed a strong de fense against the fast Lex squad which had considerable trouble getting any footing on the slick field to make their tricky plays work. Culver scored one touchdown in each quarter and kicked two PAT's for four extra points while Lexington could find the goal line only In the first and last frames. The final TD came on a long run play which saw Cor nellson outdistance all defenders. Cornelison accounted for both Lex touchdowns and the extra point was on a pass from Hen derson to Hank Pointer. Culver scores were made by Jerry Carl son (2), Roger Wollam and Bill Ransom. Ransom also kicked two of the four point-after tries. Though the weather was the worst of the year, a good crowd huddled In blankets and coats for the game which ended the Lex efforts for the season. They had played their three playoff games on the Heppner field. Culver goes on to play Alsea this weekend to decide the state championship. Members of the high school student body and the team this week expressed their apprecia tion for the support given to the school in its try for the state title. The following letter was received Wednesday, expressing that feeling: Mr Penland: The student body of Lexing ton would like to taken this opportunity to express our thanks to the Lexington, lone MN-1 JACKET BUY!

P-TA PANEL DISCUSSES "PROBLEMS OF PARENTS" AT HEPPNER MEETING "Morrow County Parents' Prob lems" was the theme of the Nov ember program presented last week by the Heppner P-TA. Ken neth Keeling, program chairman, assembled a group of panelists who spoke with authority on the subject. They were former Mor row county judge Garnet Barratt, speaker and moderator; sheriff C J D Bauman, district attorney Robert Abrams, state patrolman William Labhart, and high school principal, Gordon Pratt. Judge Barratt stated that there is a low delinquency rate in the county and that there Isn't any more now than there was 30 years ago. During the nine years he serv ed as county judge, 80 juvenile cases were heard and he noted that the juveniles didn't know it, but that he was on their side. Several examples were used to Indicate how the best interests of the young people can be serv ed in the process of a hearing. He deplored the actions of some judges who dismiss cases by sending them to McLaren school for boys to dispose of the prob lem, i "Humans grow through an age of misbehaviour," he pointed out. Clubs such as 4 H, FFA and little league baseball he commended for giving young people some thing to do and think about dur ing this time. TV was credited with doing much to keep fam ilies together more. At some time there is a sex problem, he ob served, and recommended that young people should be supplied with the facts of life, that they should have help, not gossip. Judge Barratt recalled that there is a city ordinance which sets a 10 o'clock curfew and he believes that enforcement of ltj would be beneficial. Ho also em-1 phaslzed that there Is no regis tered psychiatrist available in the county to provide help for exceptional children. Mr Abrams expressed the opin-, IONE AMERICAN LEGION THANKSGIVING BANC IONE LEGION HALL Sat., Nov. 29 WITH THE MUSIC OF EARL BAILEY'S ORCHESTRA SUPPER SERVED ADM. $1.25 1 J " i Ion that there were more delin quent parents than children, that desirable parental example and wholesome home life are very Important factors In preventing delinquency. He is not convin ced that children want limits set by the parents. Sheriff Bauman described the steps involved in a juvenile court hearing: following a complaint of a misbehavior he investigates to determine whether the situa tion justifies securing a petition from the county clerk. If this is clone, the county judge sends a citation to the child's parents setting the time to- appear in court for an informal hearing before the district attorney. The county . 1udge makes the final decision In the case. j Labhart emphasized that in every case juveniles receive In dividual attention and committ- ments are keDt to a minimum. Most cases of delinquency he as-1 cribed to liquor inspired acts and oarticularlv those coupled with driving a car. The attitude of the parents toward a child s behavior is the decisive factor in determin ing the attitude of the child, he pointed out. Gordon Pratt reported that; there is no chronic turancy prob lem in Heppner high school. He suggested ways in which parents can assist the school in working with the young people. He said parents need to provide meaning, understanding and love. Spe cifically, reading should be en couraged in the home and an atmosphere created for study and homework. Mrs L D Tibbies returned last Wednesday from a month's visit with relatives in Kansas City, Missouri. Cliff Movnihan of Lebanon has been here hunting and visiting with his son-in-law and daugh ter.
