HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. December 20. 1962 51(1 TRAILS By BIRDINE TULLIS Skiing and ski school are big news in our county. Because of the growing interest, the Ski club felt a more or less regular report on the doings at Arbuckle Ski Area might be appreciated by our fellow skiers. At the last meeting of the club, I found my self appointed to take care of this little duty. As our family is very much interested In skiing and the development of the area at Arbuckle, I accepted the job. I think the Chamber of Com merce deserves congratulations for recognizing the need of win ter recreation in this area for every one, and for sponsoring the ski school. It was this much needed type of family recreation that brought about the formation of our Ski club. The club and the chamber hope to make these lessons available at a moderate price. We encourage all begin ning skiers to take lessons. The instructor for the ski school met with the club last week to help in making plans for the school. Just a few words about him now, and more later when plans are completed. Pete is a teacher in the Pendleton school system. He is at present attending a clinic at Spout Springs on week-ends to Improve his technique, and to become a certified instructor. The area is ready to go into operation just as soon as suffi cient snow falls. There is a noticeable lack of snow all around us at the present time. We hope that along with lots of good ski equipment, Santa Claus can bring some snow. I think every one will be pleased with the improvements in the slope that have been made over the summer. Also the addition of a "bunny" or beginner's tow .should prove a worthwhile addi tion from the standpoint of safe- Heppner Grade Teams Take Opening Games Heppner Junior high ponies traveled to Pilot Rock Thursday afternoon and returned with two wins under their belt. Coach Tom Hughes' seventh graders, some 16 men strong, took on the Pilot Rock seventh graders and nosed out a 22-18 win. The Heppner boys led throughout the game with the starting team of David Hall and Kit Anderson as guards; Gary Ball and Earl Ayers as forwards, and Steve Pettyjohn, center. Others seeing action were Bill McLeod, Mike Lane, Tim Loyd, Frank Unrien, Bill Stockard, Bob Dobbs, Earl Struckmeicr, John Van Winkle, Russell Kilkenny, Ivan Adlard, and Frank Lovgren. Coach Clint Agee's eighth team swamped the Pilot Rock boys, 39-22, and led all the way. Starters were Jim Doherty and Roger Leonnlg at guard spots; Jeff Turner and Steve Wagon blast as forwards; and Mack Hoskins, center. Others seeing action were Bob Harris, Rick Johnston, and John Cox. The boys have been practicing after school at the Lexington school gym and have nine more games scheduled. The next game will be January 4, here against Irrigon at 1:30 p.m. in the high school gym. ty for the beginner and the more advanced skier. Ski thought: All interested in lessons should register for the school just as soon as registra tion forms are published Watch the window at Ken's Ski Shop for snow reports from Arbuckle Area The Ski writer for the Ore gonian mentioned the Morrow County ski school soon to be go ing at Arbuckle Spout Springs, our neighboring area announces improvements In a new T-bar on the Echo run and a new day lodge and snack bar And a final thought to mothers of be ginning skiers while good boots and skies are important, warm, waterproof mittens and a pair of long underwear for the little ski er are a must!

This letter was written at the request of the entire senior class and was signed by 67 of the 77 students in Riverside llign school. Respectfully yours, Kent Boothman Student Body President Riverside High School Dear Editor: The students of Riverside High school have followed with great interest, and considerable dis may, the controversy arising from the relocation of our school We realize that the parents and citizens of the two communities have a great deal at stake, but we also feel that while all this hub bub may be necessary it is not painting a true picture of the atmosphere of our school. All this bickering would seem to leave the impression that our school is split down the middle with Irrieon students vs Board- man students. This definitely is not true. Our student body is united as anv high school could be. There mav be isolated inci dents where a student feels he is being picked on because he received a low grade, failed to be selected for certain honors, or was reprimanded by some member of the faculty. This however would undoubtedly hold true in any high school. The only difference is that in other situations the student would feel he was being discriminated against because the teacher didn't like him, didn't like his parents or some other miscel laneous reason. The situation here is somewhat different be cause the parents in some cases have convinced their children that because he is from Board man or Irrigon he will be dis criminated against by certain teachers. The majority of the students here do not share this opinion. We feel we have a very good school and one that operates in excellent harmony. When we have differences of opinion they are differences in individual thinking not community differ ences. Students from both Board -man and Irrigon are on each side. We know that parents mean well but all their talk about dis crimination against stude n t s from one town or the other makes us very unhappy. We could continue to attend school together and would get along very well, perhaps even better, if the parents would let us. We have not asked to attend school at Umatilla as we are very happy with our Riverside High school. Sincerely, The Students of Riverside High School Cardinals Whip Arlington; Lose To Weston Five Ione's Cardinals were sham- shooters on their home court Fri day night when they faced Ar lington and won. 64 to 35. but they were as cold as a December night in Cutsforth park Saturday nignt when thev lost to Weston, 35 to 28, also at home. And they probably wish that it were the other way around because the Weston game was a league contest and the Arlington tilt was not. The loss Saturdav nieht gave the boys of Coach Glenn Biehl a disaDDointinc start in Umatilla. Morrow B league play, but they couia only connect on 14 ot bd shots from the floor. Against Ar lington the nieht before thev hit 26 of 62. The Cards scored more field goals than Weston, making 12 to the visitors' 14, but the latter only fired 47 times. Ironically, all Westons field goals were made by two members of their team, lu by vaugnn JJarrow, whose 24 points was good for game high with ease, and two by Walt Clark. Weston's 11 of 20 free throws sewed up the game while lone failed to score a point from the gift line. Weston gave them only four chances. The visitors used a tight zone defense that was a big factor in holding down the Cards. Score at halftime favored Weston by only one point, 17 to 16, but they edg ed away in the second nail, koi lie Ekstrom and Ron Crabtree each made 10 points for lone to lead the team. Misfortune came to the team Friday night when Tom Heim bigner suffered a broken nose. He was out of action Saturday night. Against Arlington, the Cards had the tilt sewed up by half time as they led, 36 to 13. They coasted through the second half but still pulled away for the final 29-point margin. Ione's jayvees won both Friday and Saturday nights, topping Arlington, 46 to 34, and downing the Weston jayvees, 49 to 32. Bill Klinger, who may be ad vanced to the varsity, poured in 19 points against Arlington and 18 against Weston. Mark Hal vorsen had 17 against Arlington and 11 against Weston.

Soroptimists Hear Talk on Health Work by Mrs. Glass Work of county health officers, their varied experiences and res ponsibilities, was brought to the attention of members of the Soroptimist club last Thursday noon at their luncheon meeting by County Health Nurse Velma Glass, guest speaker. Mrs. Glass compared the dif ferences found today in county health work with those of several years ago. Today it is almost en tirely in an administrative capa city, dealing primarily with health education in the schools, reaching families through pro blems - that develop in the schools, rather than going di rectly into the homes. It finds it self more as an information and referral bureau working with students, teachers and parents, doing less chronic and commun icable disease work with fami lies in the home. These are left to family physicians. The speak er said that, in time, much work of the county health officers will be replaced by trained social workers. The annual Christmas party and initiation were announced for tonight (Thursday) at the home of Mrs. Jim Hager. Boxes of candy and cookies will also be packed for patients at the State Hospital in Pendleton, an annual project.

The facilities of Blue Mountain College may be utilized to se cure many courses for Morrow county in the future. A group of around 12 persons is sufficient for a class. Rockets Prove Waterloo; Team Trips Stanfield Pilot Rock the opponent who was so tough for the Heppner Mustangs to beat in football proved to be their basketball nemesis Saturday night at Pilot Rock. The Heppner five met their Waterloo in the Rockets who spoiled their perfect season's re cord by administering a 65 to 52 defeat. However, the Mustangs came back with a victory Tuesday night at Stanfield, ending on the fat side of a 48-34 score. Aeainst Pilot Rock it was a case of not being able to get the ball through the hoop. The Mus tangs shot 65 times but hit only 17, while the Rockets drilled 26 of 72. Heppner took the lead in the first Quarter, 13 to 10, but falter ed by halfime and trailed, 32 to 27. They were unable to catch up from that point. In fact, their opponents slowly pulled away. Heppners cause was Dadiy hurt when Lee Padberg and John Porter fouled out. Shan Apple gate and Dick Springer both fin ished the game on thin ice, each with four personals against him. Quaempts was the big gun for the victors, pumping a total of 20 points. Applegate had 15 for Heppner, followed by Padberg with 13, matched by Gilland of nlot Rock, also with id. Against Stanfield, the Mus tangs still did not play" up to their potential but hit 19 of 55 shots from the floor, against 12 of 38 for Stanfield. Halftime fav ored Heppner, 18 to 10. Porter took high honors in the game with 17 followed by Stan field's Kip Clark with 15. Pad berg had 10 for Heppner. Heppner's jayvees won both games to keep their record per fect for the year. They topped Stanfield, 56 to 26. The score with Pilot Rock was not reported (and the coach didn't send down the scorebook!). The varsity now has a record of four wins and one loss, all non-league. They have three more cracks at Pilot Rock, one a Library to Close On Christmas Eve Mrs Rlanrhp Rrnwn librarian. announces that the Heppner Morrow county library will be closed on Monday, December 24, Christmas eve.
