i HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Mustangs Rack Up 4th Straight; Top John Day GREATER OREGON LEAGUE W L Pet Heppner 1 0 1.000 Burns 1 0 1.000 John Day 1 1 .500 Sherman 1 1 .500 Pilot Rock 0 2 .000 Neither power failure, nor storm nor the Grant Union de fense could stop the rampaging Heppner Mustang Football team from winning its fourth straight grid victory of the year at John Day Friday night. The Heppner High eleven scor ed a 13 to 7 victory over Grant Union to keep its victory string complete and come up with its first league triumph of the year. Coach Jim Sutherland's lads lost no time in going to work after a power failure had de layed the start of the game for more than an hour. Shan Apple gate returned the opening kick off about 35 yards on a nice run, and then took the ball on the first play from scrimmage to go the rest of the distance. Larry Muessig plunged for the extra point on the storm-drenched field, and the count was 7-0 for the Mustangs. Grant Union came back in the second quarter when Jim Lenz raced 40 yards on a counter play, sweeping the end. Griffith kick ed the point, and the count was tied, 7-7. Third quarter was played mostly in John Day territory. Heppner's final touchdown came after Applegate intercepted a pass, and the team drove to the one-yard line. Quarterback Ken Smith went over on a keeper from this point. The extra point try, a run, failed, and the score of 13-7 was to stand through the rest of the game. The Mustangs clung to their lead through the fourth quarter despite Grant Union's efforts to overcome them. The losers never threatened except on their lone touchdown. Lights went out three minutes before the end of the game on the stormy night, and this had coaches and officials In a dilem ma for a time. Fortunately, how ever, they came back on, and the game was completed. Al though the field was in good condition, the rain made footing difficult. Heppner men dropped three possible touchdown passes in the game. For a time prior to the start of the contest, it appeared as il the game would have to be de layed until Saturday, since it was announced that the power would be off for four hours. How ever, lust when they were about to call it off for the night, the lights came on at 8:451 and machinery was set in motion to get the game underway. The spectator bus that left Heppner after the team bus was forced to detour and arrived late. The students figured that they would get to see only a portion of the game, but found that it was just ready to get underway when they arrived. Because of the late start, the team did not arrive back in Heppner until 4 a.m. Saturday. Coach Sutherland said that his boys looked good in the con been on the ailing list, got Into test.

The mentor felt fortunate in getting through Grant Union. "They are the best we have met except for Enterprise," he said. Meanwhile Burns topped Pilot Rock in another Greater Oregon league game, tying with Heppner at the top of the circuit, each with 1-1 records.

After days and days of rain, then the wind storm, the golf course looked like a shaggy tree had decided to shake itself and the leaves, twigs and branches are all over. Never the less, five very de lightful ladies drove from Mc Nary Tuesday to "play Heppner." We were caught without our "tees." So many gals have clouds and sickness in their homes that Only Cork Norene and I played a full nine; Bebe Munkers and Kay Robinson only got six holes in, but we did our best. Winners for McNary were each and every one. Opal Lee, low score; Beulah Churchill (after falling in the messy swamp) was low net with her handicap; then came Hazel Olsen, Maxine Wardwell and Charlotte Dasenko. Each gal was awarded a prize. And thank you, Herb, for deeelicious hambur gers, which the guests did so enjoy. My thanks again, via the old tee cup, to Ed Bennett and Judge Carmichael who graciously gave up their game Tuesday morning and mowed our greens so the gals could play. That's real Hep pner hospitality! Guess this about winds up our regular, planned Tuesday play. A real big thanks from the com mittee in charge for the coffee detail each Tuesday, and as As sociated Oil says, "play golf!'" See you and your friends on the golf course. Your old "tee bag," Dee.

Journalism Heads Attend Press Meet Heppner High school was rep resented at the 36th annual Oregon Scholastic Press Confer ence at the University of Oregon in Eugene, October 12 and 13, by five students and their faculty adviser. Journalism students and ad visers from all over Oregon take with them any problems they might have regarding high school papers and yearbooks and seek a solution to them at the conference. Going from Heppner were Gin ger Springer and Fran Heath, co editors of the Hehisch; Pat Mahon, business manager; Jac quie Brindle and Shirley Carlson, co-editors of the Mus tang. Shirley spoke on a panel discus sion "Pictures that Live." FrFan was a panel member for the dis cussion of "Careers in Journal ism."

Thev had an opportunity to view much of the damage done in the area and between Eugene and Portland. Clowns received $17.50 for their 60 cut of the gate. Talking about it afterwards, Manager Pullins said: "The pro moter forgot to advertise the game but he did tell some of his personal friends about it and they showed up." tnm for Act lipl EAR THE PHONE COMPANY is pleas ed to report that few casualties like this are turning up during the 1962 hunting season. They have found youths with .22's are causing most of the dam age this year. Gunshot Damage To Phone Lines Drops This Year Pacific Northwest Bell reports that gunshot damage by hunters so far this season is almost non xistent. The company has had little of the trouble that plagued it a few years ago, a spokesman said. Last year a dozen cases of damage to wires, cables and other equipment were caused by youths with .22 cal. rifles. These occurred during the summer and in the fall before the hunting season opened. The pattern has been the same in 1962. The phone company is pleased to relate the increasing respon sibility shown by hunters and hopes that their example will influence younger shooters. It seems that too often during 3r ,1ust after the time a youth with a .22 is seen In some areas that dead lines, broken insula tors and pierced cables turn up. They appealed to parents to inform the younger set that some seemingly inanimate tar gets are very much alive, even though made of wood, wire and glass. Aside from the inconvenience to customers and the expense of repairs, the real danger is that services vital to national safety and emergency calls for fire, an ambulance, the doctor or a policeman won't get through. Waterfowl Season Opens Saturday About 50,000 waterfowl hunt ers over the state of Oregon probably have their eyes turned to the skies hoping for stormy weather through the week-end of October 20. For this day marks the open ing of the state-wide duck and goose season scheduled to open at noon. And to a waterfowl hunter fall storms mean that the birds will fly and the more severe the weather the better the shooting. The gunning season for most species of ducks and geese will extend through January 2 1963. Bag limit for ducks is set at 4 birds per day, 8 in possession. In addition to other bag and possession limits, gunners hunt ing in Baker, Gilliam, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Un ion, Wallowa and Wasco coun ties will be allowed 2 more mal- A lot more car-a lot more carefree!

Men and women of this county taking part in the giant study are among 1,079,000 enrol' lees across the nation. All of them have supplied confidential information about their personal living and working habits and their health histories to help cancer researchers find out, if they can, why some people get cancer while others do not. When the study started in late 1959, the statistical research sec tion of the American Cancer Society listed a total of 29, 626 Oregon participants. Since then, there have been 553 deaths in the group, 138 of them cancer caused. There also have been the inevitable deletions, 423 of them, because some enrollees did not fill in questionnaires properly, were too young to be included or did not state their age, an essen tial factor in the study. Currently, as a result of these losses by death and deletion, there are 28,650 persons in Ore gon still enrolled. They live in 27 counties of the state and are of many races and nationalities and varing economic levels. In the October checkup, volun- lards in the daily bag and 4 more mallards in possession. The daily bag limit on geese is 3 per day, 6 in possession. Fair shooting is expected in the Umatilla area and along the Columbia river adjacent to the Columbia river refuge. WANT TO RAISE THE ROOF?

Additional information will be sought in 1963 as it was in 1961. By careful perusal of vital sta tistics records, new listings for gas, water, electricity and tele phone service, by use of register ed mail and by countless person al contacts with former neigh bors and business associates, they have kept the number of persons actually lost to the sur vey to less than one percent of the entire enrollment. Total loss, through death, deletion and failure to contact, has been only 3.29 percent. "This is an amazing figure", Dr. Hutchicon observed, "in view of the sizeable number of participants." As of October 1, 1962, there are 174 participants in the study in Morrow county and 10 volunteer workers trying to keep track of them. Group Gives Support To Reapportionment A resolution passed by mem bers attending the meeting of Morrow County Farmer's Union last Tuesday put them on re cord as favoring the passing of the Reapportionment Measure No. 9, up for vote in the Novem ber election. They also pledged a $10 contribution to be given to the local committee for aid in financing work in its behalf in Morrow county.
