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.

Self-Employed
Social Security
Reminder Given
Vernon A. 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.

tending west from the southern
most Hermiston boundary. 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.

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. Continued support of
this project by the Chamber of
Commerce and individuals will
