Golf Club News
The final round of the Men's

the bi-monthly stag night heli
at the Kinzua Golf Club on Fri

with a rush, turning in low team
score for the evening but their
efforts fell one point short of
overcoming the Flubbers who
picked up four points to estab
lish themsleves as champions
and winners of the Twilight
League trophy.
It is well agreed among all the
men members who participated
in the team play and stag night
competition over the past season
that the summers activity has
been one to be forever remem
bered. Twenty-seven men enjoy
ed the evenings activities and
play. Of course the main event
where everyone was a winner
was a ham 'n sweet potato meal
prepared by head chef Jim
Walker.
Prizes for the evening were
awarded to Milt Boring for low
gross and Alan Guinn for low
net, Milo Prindle hit the long
drive for the evening and Milt
Boring was closest to the pin
on No. 6. The team roster for the
championship Flubbers is as fol

Labor Day Week-end
Brings Auto Hazard
The last major holiday of the
summer begins Friday at 6 p.m.
Unfortunately, in the past, this
has been anything but a holiday
from traffic death on Oregon
highways. Safety officials again
have issued a warning to motor
ists to drive to stay alive.
The Traffic Safety Division of
the Oregon Department of Motor
Vehicles notes that last Labor
Day week-end six people were
killed and 220 were injured in
454 traffic accidents recorded
during the 78-hour holiday per
iod. Safety officials urged drivers
to drive defensively to avoid the
mistakes of other drivers in the
anticipated heavy traffic.
Drivers also were reminded
that inattention and impatience
in heavy traffic can be fatal
mistakes.
Oregon is experiencing the
worst year in traffic bloodletting
in its history, and in the face
of a decrease, in highway travel.
Deaths through late last week
were running 28.6 ahead of the
same period in 1962.

Ernie Winchesters
Enjoy Camping Trip
Ask the Ernie Winchester fam
ily about the big Minam Wilder
ness area which has caused
quite a furore recently over try
ing to keep it a wilderness area!
Ernie, wife, Lois, and daughter,
Erna Lynn, journeyed to the
area two weeks ago for a camp
ing and fishing trip.
They left here early August
10 heading toward Lostine only
to encounter pickup trouble on
Emigrant hill and had to flag
down a policeman to call back
to Pendleton for help and fin
ally got into Lostine at 2 a.m.
the next morning. They under
stood their guide as saying he
would have motel rooms for
them, but they couldn't find a
motel so crawled into a wagon
loaded with straw for what was
left of the night, only to be
awakened at 6 a.m. for break
fast. They left with their guide on
two horses and pack animals
to pack into their camp some 11
miles from Lostine. Here thev
camped for the next two weeks
with two dogs and two horses,
and went over many routes from
their "headquarters" to fish in
the lakes in the area. And all
of the trails led either straight
up or straight down on rocky
ledges Into this beautiful coun
try. As Ernie related later, none
of the land was level and Lois
said the downhill was something
and a bit scary with the horses
having to pick their way over
rocks and doing some slipping,
too. They had wonderful fishing
and were thoroughly thrilled
with the country.
Many other campers and fish
ermen passed by their camp
coming and going. They visited
