Sherman County Corrals Mustangs 72-57 Count Sherman county's powerful Huskies burst Heppner High's basketball bubble here Friday night when the Moro five thumped the previously unde feated league leaders, 72 to 57. inus, any hopes that the Mus tangs nurtured of an undefeated league season and clearcut championship went awry. A standing room only crowd saw Jack Kellogg and Doug Bish lead the visitors to the decisive victory that was scored despite L,ee radoergs zo-pomt prouuc tion for Heppner. Sherman County was In front all the way, holding a 7-point first quarter bulge, 19 to 12, and a halftime lead of 31-23. They flashed a 25-point third quarter while the Mustangs made 19 and thereby had a commanding lead going into the final period, 56 42. Thus the winners managed to win every quarter. The game was a reversal of the one played at Moro when the Mustangs won, 68 to 54. This was the one that the Hep pner five wanted and needed most of all because Sherman County's lone defeat was at their hands, and the Moro five now has taken over top spot In the western division of the Greater Oregon League with a record of 6-1 as compared with Heppner's current 4-1 mark. Kellogg connected on nine Held goals and three free throws foi 21 and Bish had 17 for his team on nine buckets and three gift tosses. Also In double fig ures was Bill Doolin with 12 on six from the floor and two free throws. Padberg carried the scoring burden for Heppner, accounting tor nearly half his team's points. John Porter, who did not start the contest, was the only other to hit double figures, making 10 on four field goals and two free throws.

LcRoy Gardner Out Of Basketball Play LoRoy Gardner, a senior on the Heppner high school basketball squad, has been forced to quit the squad at least temporarily on order of his doctor for medical reasons, Coach Bob Cantonwine said Tuesday.

Defeat of the Mustangs can be attributed to some extent to the hot Shooting of the vengeance minded Moro team. They hit 29 of 64 attempts for a sizzling .453. Heppner was considerably below this mark with a .613 average on 21. of 67 tries. However, the Mus tangs got 15 of 29 free throws for .513, against 14 or 2ii lor bner man county, an even .500.

Welo. social securitv district manager in La Grande, today reminded farmers who keep their books on a calendar year basis that their social sec urity self-employment returns must be filed and the tax paid by April 15. Welo pointed out. however. that self-employed farmers who are required to file estimated tax returns and did not do so by January 15, 1963, must file the final return and nav the social security tax by February 15, 1963. welo explained that farmers and farm operators file their re turns on Form 1040 and Form 1040F. Form 1040 is the general tax report form used by city and farm people alike. Schedule F, tne second form, is especially for farmers. But both must be completed and filed by self- employed larmers. Unlike other self-emploved persons, farmers have certain options in reporting their earn ings. These options are: 11) if gross farm income amounts to $1800 or less, then the actual net farm earnings or two thirds of the gross farm income may be counted as net farm earnings. (2). If gross farm income is more than $1800 and the net is less than $1200, count as the net earnings either the actual net farm earnings or $1200. lhe optional method, based on gross farm income, is used only in figuring self-employment tax and applies only to farm income. Individuals who prefer to report actual net income will receive credit for social security pur poses it the net amount is $400 or more. Welo further stated that de tailed questions about filing the return and payment of the tax should be directed to the nearest office of the District Director of Internal Revenue. However, for further information about the social security old-age, survivors, and disability insurance bene fits, one should get in touch with his social security district office which is located at 1802 Fourth Street, La Grande.

In Morrow county, this would be approximately four miles south of Highway 30 going down the bomb range road. Boardman would be Included in the district, but Director Bob Sicard said later that Boardman would object to any withdrawal that would break up Riverside high school. Director Harvey Warner of Irrigon said during the meeting that the proposal to withdraw inferred no offense at Riverside. "It is doing a good job," he said. Gene Maieski was spokesman for the Lexington group that rec ommended the school continue the same as at present for the next two years. Director Dick said that something should be done about the teacher ratio that provided four teachers for only 40 pupils. Director Nelson point ed out that the recent meeting with the advisory board and public at Lexington made it clear that they want to keep their school. Result of this discussion was the motion to provide three teachers for the school. Director Sicard spoke on the proposal to move the fifth and sixth grades from Boardman to Irrigon and said that he felt the move would be sound. How ever, he opposed any move to lose a teacher as a result. Supt. Ron Daniels of Riverside said that his high school needs more commercial courses and added math. Director Martin moved that Riverside and Board man keep the same equivalent taft but make reassignments of teachers within the system as needed. As if these questions were not enough for one meeting, the board also was faced with two other important matters con sideration of a salary schedule proposed by a committee of teachers, headed by Clint Agee and Mrs. Harold Erwin, and con sideration of teacher contracts for the coming year. The salary schedule proposed by the teachers would add $25 n the first five steps and $50 in the last six steps for teach ers with B.A. and B.S. degrees, and those with the degrees plus 45 hours additional training. These amounts would be that much above the new proposal of the school board. The school board proposal lists a minimum salary of $4450 for a teacher with less than a B. A. or B. S. and no experience to $7700 for one on step 11 with a M. A. or M. S. degree. Step 11 is equivalent to that many years experience. The current schedule in force has a min imum salary of $4300 and a maximum of $7400. The faculty committee said that it proposed no increases above the board's proposal in the M. A. or M. S. category because it felt that "those in the middle" with lesser degrees needed more encouragement since the higher category general got the empha sis. The committee proposal is to be reviewed and reported upon at the next meeting. Teacher contracts were con sidered at an "executive session' (no audience) with administra tors being asked to give recom mendations and individuals in vited to appear to state their feelings on particular teachers. After some time in the exec utive session, the board returned to the circuit court room and re ported that because not all ad ministrators had complete re ports on their staffs, the elec tion of teachers would be post poned until next meeting. The 4lss hour session concluded just after midnight. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Van Winkle, Lexington, were Saturday even ing dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Jackson, lone. I n: PORTLAND 1, OREGON CA 6-1121 TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: This letter is an answer to Sue Townsend's letter stating that students at lone High school weren't getting equal rights un der the county school system because the Heppner students got out of school recently when they were taking semester tests, but lone High school didn't. Under the program set up by the county, each school admin istrator has the right to make certain decisions as long as these decisions don't conflict with the rule set by the Morrow County School Board. Using this right, the faculty of Heppner High school scheduled tests in such a manner that all four English I classes could take their test at one time. Heppner is the only school in the county which has four different classes of English I. Bv such scheduling the teach er can give all English I stu dents the same test. In order to make our tests run smoothly, we set up a pro gram where all students taking the same course will take their test at one time. When an edu cational system is expanding, just as Heppner High school is, it can not remain status quo. Sincerely, Shannon Mahoney Jacquie Brindle To the Editor: The mild winter the Pacific Northwest is expe r i e n c i n g prompts me to make some com ments as to how it affects local skiing and possible future de velopments. Much ph y s i c a 1 work, planning, and consider able cash outlay have gone In to the Arbuckle ski area since last year's successful season which lasted from Christmas through March. The ski club, permitted from the Forest Ser vice to build and operate the area, was all set to handle the larger crowds that were sure to come with a good snowpack, had expanded the clearing and erec ted a beginners' tow. So far this winter there has never been enough snow to operate with the exception of two days at the start of February. At that time the much postponed ski school convened and 35 beginners took their first lesson. The ski club will end up "in the red" as a result of this mild unusually warm winter in which the precipitation fell as rain most of the time instead of as snow as is the rule for elevations above 4000 feet. Many other Northwest ski areas and those in California report very limited skiing to date. How does the future of skiing recreation look for Morrow coun ty? If we use the local Soil Con servation Service snow survey figures taken at Jones Prairie, two miles south of the ski area, and project them to Arbuckle mountain, we find that the 10- year average snow depth to be about 27" for the end of Jan uary, 30" for February and 32" for March. Last year was very much an average year with plenty of snow. In my opinion the area is sit uated in a reliable snow belt in normal years at a high enough elevation to build a snowpack and for the snow to usually be of the powder variety which skiers like. Therefore I would like to believe that the club is moving in the right direc tion and is doing a service to the community in promoting and developing the area as a much needed recreation center for the winter months. The club's funds come from the pockets of its members and from the tow charges.
