Let's Go To School Again
Mcmt parents have wished at some time or another thst they
could bo little mire In the rorner at school to we how their
little Janes and Johnnies are doing in the classroom.
This Is the week to be a mouse In the corner, for It Is Amerlcsn
Education Week and a special Invitation Is extended to all
adults to come to school again and see trie eoucauonaj program
In action.
Morrow county schools are scheduling open house events for
parents to acquaint them with work Doing aone. mis suuum
not be considered "Just another one of those National Weeks" but
rather as a good opportunity to go and see what Is going on
In the classroom. Consult with teachers and help cement that
mutual understanding between parent and teacher a vital
step In aiding the development of tne stuaent.
Theme for 11 American Education Week Is "Your Schools:
Time for a Progress Report" Local schools are following this
theme with demonstrations and exhibits. They are anxious to
report to you parents and patrons and welcome your ques
tions and comments.
Our schools are always open to the public and visits are
welcome any time, but we parents often find ourselves "too
busy" to take the time to go to school. However, our teachers
and administrators cannot be expected to do the Job of edu
cating our children alono. They need the cooperation and help
of a responsible, Informed public to help with the manifold
problems confronting them In this ever-changing world.
So during this American Education Week resolve to take
more Interest In your schools. Do this by going to school, seeing
first hand the problems and conditions that exist, talk with the
teachers and administrators, find out what improvements are
needed. Take this opportunity to become Informed. This will
give a better basis for intelligent action the next time a vote
comes up on school issues.
Parents and teachers alike should recognize once again that
the Child is the all-important thing In our educational system.
During this week they should dedicate themselves to work to
nether for the best interests of the Child your child and my
cnild and theretore to the best Interests of our nation and Its
democratic way of life.
Cardinals Have Spirit of Champions
Championship athletic teams need more than ability to
rain the top rung in competitive sports. Spirit and desire are
almost as important as ability. The zest and enthusiasm dis
played by an outstanding team gives that extra something that
supports its performance and carries the players on when lesser
teams falter. However, some teams have the desire and not the
ability, and they fall along the way despite their fighting hearts.
The lone Cardinals have developed an admirable spirit It
is readily discernible not only in their games but also in their
practices and attitudes. It is retleced in tiie demeanor of tne
coach, of the school and the atmosphere of interest shown by the
community.
They must have had this spirit when they won the state 8-man
championship last year, and as the team enters the quarter
finals of the state playoffs, they show the mental conditioning
so important to success in athletics. Coupled with their excep
tional ability, this makes them a hard team to defeat and they
aie undefeated for the year.
At this time, no one knows if lone can go all the way through
the rugged competition between the Cards and another state
title, 'mis year, all games will be away from home, and that
makes it more difficult.
However, throughout tne year they have performed as cham
pions and they will display tne same spirit In the playofrs. Coach
Glenn Biehl has done a line Job with his team, and it is going
to take a great team to defeat his boys.
When the Cardinals go to John Day to play Mt. Vernon Satur
day they will have solid support lrom tneir home area and
many will be present to cheer them on. We Join their hundreds
of rooters in the hope that they can come through with victory
and go all the way. But If they should lose, we il still consider
them champions lor the spirit and pertormance they displayed.
IT WAS a cikmI thing that no
profe-inlonal basketball scouts
were In the stands Thursday
nlk'ht when the Morrow county
Ul Stars (composed of teachers
and roaches) played tne liariem
Clown. If they had been, some
of our best teachers might have
been hired for the pro ranks:
The Clowns, whose untie
were hilarious and crowd pleas
inc. play by rules foreign to
batkctball naturally, but It
would have twen Interesting to
see how the locals would have
made out In a serious contest
with the towering touring team.
We were Impressed with tht
abilitv of Darrel Kelscn, Bod can
tonwine and diminutive Pete
Clennie, who seemed to nave
a real shooting eye In drilling
em in from lr out.
Capturing the fancy of the big
crowd, though, was Don McClure,
who proved especially agile in
view of his avoirdupois, and Big
Jcem Su thei land, who might
have received an award for be
ing the best sport of a highly
enjoyable evening of entertain
ment But, kidding aside, It looks to
us that Morrow county's teach
ers could put up a team that
could really go to towa Those
boys are good.

"SOME OF the best beef In the
world is just over those hills,'
said Don Robinson of Kirk and
Robinson here the other day as
lie pointed to the hills surround
ing Heppner, "and even some of
our local townspeople don t know
a."
Some of the awards and rec
ognitions that our local stock
growers are getting back up Don's
words. ProbaDly the county needs
to "blow its own horn" a little
more on this point Old-timers
probably take it lor granted, and
newcomers haven t lound it out.
QUITE A number of friends of
B.ll and trances Wildman,
lormor owners of the Gazette
nines, have inquired about them
and want to know what they are
uol.iK.
They have bought a filbert
farm near Newberg Rt. 1, Box
183-A. We'll confess that we've
heard it said that the newspaper
business would drive anyone
nuts, but never heard that it
specified filberts.
IT COULD ONLY happen In our
town: Jim Farley watched
with some satisfaction the other
day as a happy couple drove
away from his garage in a brand
new Buick they had just bought
Across the street, Earl Ayres,
tord dealer, witnessed the pro
feedings from the sidewalk
After the car had passed, Earl
caught Jim s eye. The Ford deal
er's face was wreathed In a big
I trin, as cordial as if he had sold
the couple a new Galaxie. Rais
ing his hands over his head, he
shook hands with himself in
pleasant salute to his competitor
on Ileppner s Auto Row.
