Campaigns Warm
As Election Nears
Work of both Democrats and
WUIK Ol UUIU yciuuiiuii
Republicans has intensified here
in tlio nast week as eeneral elec
tion time looms only 12 days
away, November 6.
Their campaigning centers on
state and national contests be
cause there are no county races
on the ballot. Nearest thing to
a strictly local race is that be
tween Gaylord Madison, Echo,
Republican, and Jack Smith,
Condon, Democrat, for represen
tative in the legislature from
the 28th district.
Absentee Deadline
Set October 31
Those who expect to be out
of the county on the date of
general election, November 6,
but wish to cast ballots in the
election, may vote by absen
tee. They must file for absen
tee ballot with Sadie Parrish,
county clerk, by 5 p.m., Oc
tober 31 to be eligible.
In order to be counted, the
absentee ballots must be re
turned to the clerk before elec
tion clay.
Several of the candidates have
made personal appearances here,
including Sig Unander, Republi
can, for U. S. senator, seeking
the seat held by Wayne Morse,
Democrat; Al Ullman, incum
bent Democrat, for Congress and
his Republican opponent, Bob
Hatfield, Republican, who is op
posed by Attorney General Ro
bert Y. Thornton, Democrat, and
Robert H. Wampler.
Both Smith and Madison have
made several local appearances
in the interests of their cam
paign even though they have a
wide range of territory to cover
in the 5-county district.
Those candidates who have
not come to the county have
been represented by supporters
and have been doing some work
by mail.
The ballot, which was printed
recently and is in the hands of
Sadie Parrish, county clerk, to
prepare for distribution to the
nine precincts, is published in
facsimile form, as prescribed bv
law, on page 4 of section 2 of
this paper.
Voters are advised to clip and
save this copy of the ballot for
reference. It is identical, except
for a few minor precinct changes,
to the one each voter will re
ceive at the polls.
It will be noted that the fish
bill (No. 8) has been obliterated
on the facsimile ballot. It will
be marked out on ballots given
to voters since it was ruled off
the ballot after printing by the
Supreme Court which judged
that the petition circulated to
put it on the ballot had insuf
ficient "good" signatures. This
was because of a change in the
ballot title while the signatures
were being obtained.
It will be noted, too, that there
are no candidates for Morrow
county district attorney on the
ballot. This is due to the fact
that Herman Winter, appointed
district attorney by Gov. Hat
field on October 1, was not in
the county in time to file for the
office. He is conducting a write
in campaign and is the only
candidate evidencing any inter
est in the position. Those who
care to write in the name of
a candidate, Winter or any other,
should fill in the name in the
space provided and put an X in
the square in front of the name.
In previous issues, the Gazette-Times
has had editorial
explanations and recommenda
tions on Measures No. 9 and 10,
ronnnnrtinnment and school re
organization repeal. In next
u-ppU-'s issue, the last before elec
tion, it will explain the first
seven state measures, several of

Portlanders Get
Deer the Hard Way
Any hunter who feels he
had a hard time getting his
deer might feel better after
he hears the story of Mr. and
Mrs. Gerald Shearer of Port
land. Two weeks ago they were
coming over to hunt in the
Heppner area, but the Colum
bus Day windstorm hit when
Mrs. Shearer was in downtown
Portland. Policemen saw her
on the street, threw a coat
over her head for protection
and took her into a building
to wait out the hurricane. The
Shearers decided later it would
be too hard to get out of town
and waited.
Friday night of this week
they started out, expecting to
pull in at the home of Sheriff
and Mrs. C. J. D. Bauman
about 1 a.m. Saturday. The
Baumans waited up until 3:30
a.m. but the visitors didn't
arrive.
The Shearers had traveled
as far as Lexington when it
suddenly dawned on them
that they had forgotten their
deer tags. This was between
midnight and 1 a.m. They
turned around and headed for
Portland and picked up the
tags. Then, without sleeping,
they headed back to Heppner.
They pulled in at the Bau
mans about 1 p.m. Saturday,
then went out to hunt. Happily
they bagged a small doer and
were in for supper at 6 p.m.
For some odd reason, Mr.
Shearer went to sleep at the
table!

Reisch Describes
Special Services
At Chamber Meet
Morrow county schools are
working in three areas of special
services for students in a new
program that is cognizant of
individual differences of the
youngsters, Darrel Reisch, the
district's director of special ser
vices, told members of the
Heppner-Morrow County Cham
ber of Commerce at a luncheon
meeting at the high school Mon
day. A program for the mentally re
tarded is underway and attent
ion for talented or gifted child
ren is also being started. A re
medial reading program, started
three years ago, is now well es
tablished and is showing good
results in the lower grades,
Reisch said.
The speaker said that it is
recognized that two-thirds of the
students fit into a 90-110 I. Q.
(intelligence quotient) category,
although the I.Q. is not rec
ognized as an absolute factor.
Falling below this group are
some considered to need special
help as being mentally retarded
for some reason, and above the
average are gifted who need
further challenge than that af
forded by the classroom.
Some good results are being
shown in the newly-instituted
mentally retarded program here,
but the gifted program is a
little slower getting started and
presents another field for work
among the students.
Those in the remedial read
ing program are not necessarily
retarded but for some reason
experience difficulty in reading,
he said. The importance of
reading to success is basic. Be
cause of the 3-year-old program,
there are no severe fourth grade
reading problems here. The work
will be extended through the in
termediate grades and through
out the district as it can be ar
ranged, Reisch said.
Also speaking at the meeting
were Ken Wright, Dean Robin
son and John Wagonblast, FFA
chapter members who represen
ted Heppner at the National
FFA convention in Kansas City.
Wright told of the trip to the
east and back, Robinson gave
highlights of the convention and
Wagonblast described what was
learned and gained by the boys
for having taken the trip. Each
thanked the chamber for con
tributing to help defray expen
ses of the trip.
They were introduced by Ger
ald Jonasson, vocational agricul
ture teacher.
Shan Aoolecate. student body
president, welcomed Chamber
members to the luncheon at
school, an annual event, and
Prinrinal Gordon Pralt also ex
tended welcome. President Fred
Gimbel was in charge of the
meeting.

Grid Title Hangs
On Burns Game
Here Friday Eve
Heppner High's hopes of its
first football champion ship
since 'way back when, hang on
the outcome of its crucial game
with the vaunted Burns High
landers here at Homecoming Fri
day night,
Riding a winning streak of
five straight games and tied
with Burns at the top of the
Greater Oregon league (western
division) with a 2-0 record, the
Mustangs hope to trip the fav
ored Highlanders in this big one.
Should they manage a victory,

On Cards' Grid
With only one game between
them and Morrow-Umatilla S
man B football championship,
the lone High school team hopes
to clinch the crown today In
a 2:30 p.m. game on the lone
gridiron.
The Cards take on Echo in
their final league fray of the
season. A victory would mean
the championship for lone, and
the home club Is heavily favor
ed to win on the basis of their
season's records.
Echo has a young team and
lacks experience this year, while
lone has gone two seasons with
the only loss being in the state
finals to Sisters last year.
Coach Glenn Biohl, who has
not had his team at full strength
for some time because of in
juries and illness, said that he
expects to have all players in
good shape for the Echo con
test.
Joe Halvorsen, who suffered
a gashed knee in an accident
while working out on a trapeze,
Is expected to be back In action
and Les Madden, who also had
a knee Injury, Is expected to m
ready to go again.
The Cardinals will have one
more home game, that a non

Wn., on Friday, November 2, at
2:30.
If they are successful in down
ing Echo, they will enter the

credited by the judges with
doing an excellent work on their
talks.
Second was Laura Lee Sum
ner, also a Heppner high senior;
and third was Marcia Rands,
Heppner high junior. The three
winners received trophies pre
sented by Paul Jones, president
of the Morrow County Grain
Growers who donated them for
the occasion. Pins were given to
the two other contestants, Marti
Dixon, junior; and John Wagen
blast, sophomore.
Bob Jepsen, a supervisor of the
Heppner Soil Conservation dis
trict, presided at the contest.
Judges were Mayor Al Lamb,
Wes Sherman and Kenneth
Turner. Ralph Richards of the
Soil Conservation district was
timekeeper.
In presenting the awards,
Jones complimented the contes
tants on their uniformly fine
work and said that it was ap
parent that the judges would
have a difficult job picking one
as better than the others.
The contest Is sponsored by
the Oregon Association of Soil
Conservation districts. Trophies
are awarded at the local, area,
semi-finals and state finals, and
expenses are paid to the semi
finals and finals. State winners
receive, in addition, savings
bonds of $50, $25 and $10 for
the first three places respec
tively.
10 Cents
Coach Sutherland's boys will be
in because they only have Sher
man county yet to face. A loss
to the Moro boys would then
put them In a tie with Burns
at 3 wins, one loss. However,
league rules state that In case
of a tie, the decision reverts
back to the game between those
tied, in which case Heppner
would be judged winner by vir
tue of the victory.
But at this time, of course,
this is pure speculation, and the
MustaiiBs will have to come up
with some fine football wizardry
to turn the trick.
Against common opponents,
the Highlanders have rolled up
a considerably better record.
They topped Stanfield, 33-0,
while the Mustangs downed
Stanfield, 23-0; they thumped
Pilot Rock, 19-0, while Heppner
just edged the Rockets, 6-0; and
they whacked Enterprise, 14 to 6,
while Heppner lost to Enterprise,
20-0. Last week the Highlanders
clubbed Moro, 30-0.
Accompanying the keen ex
citement of the crucial game
will bo all the fanfare of the
Homecoming for the Mustangs.
Students are planning a noise
parade, bonfire, dance following
the game, and will select a
queen and court.
Princesses chosen are Diana
Fulleton and Ginny Moore, jun
iors; Judy Hamilton, Lorraine
Leonnig and Marlene Fetsch,
seniors.
A secret vote by members of
the football squad will pick the
Homecoming queen, and an
nouncement will be made at
halftime of the big game.
The parade and bonfire, of
course, will precede the game.
Welcome is extended to all alum
ni of Heppner high to attend
Homecoming, events, Including
the dance after the game.
In facing the strong High
landers the Mustangs are un
daunted by their comparative
records. They have the advan
tage of the home field and have
been steadily improving through
the season. They are at least
two touchdowns better than they
were when they lost to Enter
prise, according to their sup
porters, and they have been
playing inspired, spirited foot
ball in rolling up their five
straight wins.
It is expected, too, that the
Heppner eleven will be at full
strength for the first time in
several games. Big Doug Du
buque, sidelined with an injury,
is expected to be back in the
lineup.
Heppner has uncovered some
defensive standouts in men like
John Porter, Dick Springer, and
just recently coming to the fore
Dean Lovgren. Lee Padberg,
back, has been strong on both
offense and defense, and Coach
Sutherland has uncorked some
fine breakaway running from
LeRoy Gardner, Shan Applegate
and Larry Meussig.
Those who are students of the
game of football will be startled
to see the Burns formations.
They come with a truly weird
spread. They take the ot tense
with one man to the left of
center and five men to the right,
the two at the end spread wide.
The quarterback doesn't take a
position behind center but stands
behind the guard at the right
of center. One hairoaek spins
wide to the right behind a gap
in the line, the tailback is some
four yards back of center and the
other halfback lines up between
and back ot the quarterback
and the other halfback.
This formation is varied by
shifting the weak side to ihe
right or by shifting the backs

Principal Would Like
To Say, 'Dogs Gone!'
There are plenty ol times
that a school principal might
like to say, ''Doggone." but
Hillard Brown, principal of
Heppner elementary school,
would like to declare, "Dogs
Gone."
The canines cure becoming
worse than Mary's lamb In
following children to school,
he states. One day recently
there were 12 dogs at the ele
mentary building. They may
be anxious to get an educa
tion, but there Is no teacher
for the local K-9 Corps.
In their playful way, the
dogs have been making a nui
sance of themselves. They
jump on small children, drink
out of the fountain and in
some instances tear clothing.
He requests that parents
hear his plea and make an
effort to keep the pets at home
when the youngsters come to
school.
