was a one-man gang despite his
ailment and made 16, which was
tied by Applegate. Considering
his illness, Padberg was the out
standing man on the floor al
though he was unable to reacn
the heights he had displayed in
previous key contests. He was
barely able to answer the buzzer
to return to the game after half
time intermission but made It
and became a demon against
the Huskies in the waning min
utes. He was all over the floor
on defense fighting for the ball
and his versatile moves just
mil Ul nnt he denied. His lasi
two baskets were made on sheer
determination as he feinted de
fenders out of position and made
h(a mnvpR tn score.
Sherman county took command
of the boards in tne eariy pari
of the game, cut men springer
wns Hermnpr'a salvation in that
category, coming down with the
ball time after time. He went
out on five personals late in the
game, the only one in the contest
to rack up five although Kellogg,
Bish and Doonn an naa iour on
them hv th final buzzer.
John Porter added 11 points to
the Heppner cause Put naa some
trouble on the free throw line.
He had 15 attempts and made
seven. Ken Smith who fought
through the season to gain a
place on the starting five came
through with some timely bas
kets to strengthen Heppner's
cause. Doug Dubuque, still see
ing limited action because of his
old knee injury, took over for
Springer and played a good
game.
Sherman county now faces
Vale of the eastern division,
Greater Oregon, for the right to
go to the state tournament at
Coos Bay on March 18, 19 and
20. First game with Vale will
be Saturday night, at Vale.

Mustangs Defeat
Rockets; Dropped
By Athena Five
In their last game of their
regular league season, the Hepp
ner High basketball team won
a hard -fought victory over Pilot
Rock on the Rockets floor rn
day night, 67 to 55.
The losers went all out to stop
the Mustangs, but Heppner fired
baskets at a 50 clip which the
Rockets couldn t match. Half
time favored the winners by a
slim 28-23 margin.
Lee Padberg poured in 29
points for the winners and Buzz
Quaempts was high for the los
ers with 18. The win gave Hepp
ner two victories over Pilot Rock
in three meetings.
On home court Saturday night,
Heppner apparently sagged from
the rigors of the league season
and the tough battle of the night
before as they lost to the snappy
McEwen team of Athena, titlists
in the Umatilla-Morrow B league.
The Mustangs couldn't get roll
ing in the first half and at one
time trailed by 21 points, 31 to
10. At halftirne they were 13
points behind, and then set
about to pull victory from de
defeat but they fell one point
short.
Bob McMillan proved unstop
pable to the Mustangs as he
drove in for basket after bas
ket as the Heppner defenders
faded away. He scored 25 on
10 field goals and five free
throws.
Dick Springer carried the scor
ing load for Heppner as he play
ed one of his finest games. His
total was 23 on nine buckets and
five free throws. Heppner's cause
was hurt early when Lee Pad
berg rolled up three personals
early and sat out much of the
second quarter. He picked up
two more in the third stanza
and went out with eight points
contributed to the Mustang
cause.
The victory for Athena, a ten
acious, hustling ball club, even
ed the score between the two
teams. Heppner defeated them
there early in the year.

Welfare Help
For Dependent
Children Checked
How well the Aid to Dependent
Children program is living up to
its requirements both in Oregon
and throughout the nation, will
be determined in an intensive
study beginning this month.
Both state and federal welfare
officials will check eligibility of
146 Oregon Aid to Dependent
Children cases over a 3-month
period. This and similar studies
will be conducted in all states
and the District of Columbia' at
the request of the Senate Ap
propriations Committee, as a re
sult of a preliminary investi
gation last year, which revealed
widespread question regarding
eligibility in Washington, D. C.
Morrow County Welfare De
partment will make its records
available for examination and
field visits by members of the
State Welfare staff, wtih spot
checks by Federal representa
tives. To control the possibility
of influencing the findings in
the cases under study, county
staff have been ordered to limit
their contacts with these clients
to emergency situations. Since
the study is being conducted at
a period of peak activity, the
year-round average is likely to
be better than the sample shows,
according to County Administra
tor Lowell Chally.
Mr. Chally stressed that cases
for the study would be chosen
at random. The inclusion of a
case in the eligibility check does
not imply that the family is un
der suspicion in any way, he ex
plained. The study is the first in pub-
i lie welfare history conducted as
a joint effort of Federal and
'State governments on the single
subject of eligibility, and the
; first one in which field invest
igations will be conducted of the
entire review sample. Since Aid
, to Dependent Children is the pro
gram most frequently under fire,
(from welfare critics), the find
ings will be received with con
siderable interest across the na
tion. Preliminary reports to Con
gress will be made in March.
Final results, compiled state-by-state
and summarized by the
Bureau of Family Services, are
expected to be ready for release
by June.

Projects Talked
At Waterway Meet
Topics vital to the local econ
omy were discussed at the direC'
tors meeting of the Inland Em
pire Waterways association at
the Multnomah hotel, Portland,
Friday, County Judge Oscar Pet
erson, who attended as a direc
tor, said.
Among them were reports by
the U. S. Army Corps of Engin
eers on projects authorized or
in the process of being organ
ized in the division, intertie leg
islation and the Canadian treaty
in the interests of firming up
our power supply for the Bonne
ville grid, both ably reviewed
by Maior General William W
Lapsley and Charles F. Luce,
administrator for the Bonneville
Power administration.
The association is an organi
zation dedicated to the orderly
and complete development of the
Pacific Northwests water re
sources, the judge said.
"Although with labors on be
half of navigation on the Col
umbia and Snake Rivers par
ticularly its objective, it goes
without saying that the IEWA
has been, and is, a tremendous
force in the development of our
vast power resources, reclamat
ion potentials, flood control and
recreational opportunities," he
said.
"Being keenly interested in the
development of these resources
and after having been along as
a director with the IEWA for
many years, I feel it was one of
the most interesting and bene
ficial meetings I have ever at
tended," he added. "Under the
leadership of such able men as
Charles Baker and Herbert G.
West, the association has turn
ed out to be a powerful force
in the Inland Empire as well
as the entire Northwest. Far
more has been accomplished in
extending river navigation, flood
control, developing of hydroelec
tric dams, forming of port dis
tricts than is being credited to
the organization."
Hospital Visits Cut
If Flu Epidemic Hits
In the event that current influ
enza illnesses reach epidemic
proportions in the area, it may
be necessary to curtail visitation
in Pioneer Memorial hospital, ac
cording to word this week from
Will O'Harra hospital adminis
trator. A few influenza cases have
been reported in the area. The
visitation action would be a pre
cautionary measure for protec
tion of hospital patients and for
the public.

Chamber Tables
Parks District
Idea for Present
A proposal recommended by
the Heppncr-Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce's develop
ment committee that a survey
be taken in the county to de
termine feelings about formation
of a parks and recreation dis
trict was tabled by the organi
zation for the present at the
general meeting Monday.
This action was taken after
the county's new Resource, Plan
ning and Development assoc
iation had met the previous Wed
nesday night and consensus
seemed to be against setting up
another taxing body in the coun
ty at this time.
Oliver Creswick brought the re
port to the chamber as chair
man of the development commit
tee. He is also chairman of the
new association.
The development committee
had recommended the study in
an effort to move towards de
velopment of parks and help
solve other recreational needs.
However, the county associat
ion felt that the county should
seek to find sources within its"
present budget to provide for
possible development of the
Chapin Creek park and improve
ments of Cutsforth park.
Orville Cutsforth, chairman of
the county parks committee,
which operates without funds,
said that he favored the latter
idea. He said that a minimum
of $500 and maximum of $1000
would be needed for the Chapin
Creek site.
The Chamber also passed a
resolution to be sent to the legis
lature asking that House Bill
2030 for watershed planning be
approved without elimination of
$100,000 in the appropriation.
The Ways and Means committee
has recommended paring that
sum from the appropriation, but
conservationists say that to do
so will seriously delay water
shed planning and eliminate
from consideration at the present
time embryo projects, such as
the proposed Rhea Creek plan.
Randall Peterson, reporting tor
the merchants committee, recom
mended that an envelope plan
be used for parking meter vio
lators in Heppner. He suggested
that when officers find a car
parked by a meter with time
expired, the ticket be left with
an envelope. The offender could
square himself by placing 25c
in the envelope within a 24-hour
period and depositing it in one
of a number of boxes to be
placed on meter posts around
the city.
$75 Fine Assessed
In Justice Trial
Jean McGuire of Heppner was
found cuiltv bv a justice court
jury Monday of the charge of
pretending to be a member oi
a charitable organization and
was fined $75 by Oliver Creswick,
justice of the peace.
She was arrested January 21
on the charge which involved
the March of Dimes. Bail had
been set at that time at $100
pending trial, and she was re
leased on payment of the bail.
