EUGENE, ORE
Combined Fair and Rodeo
80th Year
Number 34
Draws Favor for
Morrow county's 1964 fair and
rodeo will return to the old plan
of being held during the same
week if sentiment expressed by
interested persons at a special
meeting of the fair board Mon
day night is any indication.
Strong favor for returning to
the combined event was express
ed by a number of the 24 persons
attending the meeting in the
fair annex.
The fair board had called the
public meeting to hear proposals
of residents who had suggestions
to make on the fair and rodeo.
Originally set for the conference
room in the Gilliam and Bisbee
building, the meeting place was
moved to the fair annex when
the number attending exceeded
the capacity of the conference
room.
One of the major actions taken
at the meeting was the passage
of a motion that asked that a
committee be appointed by
Chairman Al Fetsch of the fair
board to write new by-laws for
the rodeo and fair committees,
each of which is subsidiary to
the fair board.
Fetsch named E. H. (Tad)
Miller, Max Barclay, Floyd Jones,
Raymond French, Don Robinson
and Charles Daly to the commit
tee. Two of their number repre
sent the fair board, two repre
sent the fair committee, and two
represent the public at large.
It was pointed out that the
rodeo board should have definite
rules to go by, particularly for
choosing new members of the
board. Feeling was expressed by
some of those attending as in
terested persons that it is desir
able to set up a rotating plan
of service on the committee so
that new members with fresh
ideas may be worked In contin
uouslv.
Harold Erwln suggested that
the plan be patterned after the
Pendleton Roundup. He suggest
ed that members should be per
mitted to serve only a three -year
term, after whcih they must be
off the board for at least a year
before being reappointed.
Floyd Jones, rodeo chairman,
pointed out that several new
members have been elected to
the board by the rodeo commit
tee recently, including Fred Man
kin, Raymond French, Wes Sher
Big Varieties

Doors of the old Bakery Build
ing will open on a full room of
assorted clothing and household
ware when the semi-annual
Rummage Sale gets underway
Friday for a two-day sale. Mem
bers of the Civic League have
been busy collecting good, usable
items for re-sale, and the re

ting ready for the sale.

of the increased number of child

held in the George house each
week-day morning. Needs are
constantly arrising for addition

on both Friday and Saturday,
with lots of bargain prices guaranteed.
Honest Hunter Fails to Bag
Deer, Returns Many 'Bucks'
At least one rancher is grate
ful that hunters came from
Portland to invade Morrow
county during deer season.
Ray Dobbs of Portland came
hunting for a buck. Instead,
he found a good many "bucks"
when he picked up a billfold
that had been lost in the
mountains by Bill Barratt.
After the Portlander had de
termined who and where to
call, he telephoned Barratt
from Portland. The Heppner
ite was a mighty relieved man
to hear the report that his bill
fold had been found and was
understandably grateful to
Dobbs.
Barratt had lost the billfold
while he and his wife, Bonnie,
were riding for cattle. It con
tained considerable cash and
a check for $3400.
Sad to say, Dobbs, who had
been hunting with his son,
didn't bag a buck on their trip
man and Fred Gimbel.
Jones suggested that by-laws
should also include a clause
that the committee have a vice
chairman to work as an assistant
to the chairman.
Daly proposed that the rodeo
committee be made a 9-man
board with one member assigned
to a specific responsibility as
follows: 1. Livestock director. 2.
Parade director. 3. Awards and
concessions director. 4. Arena and
grounds director. 5. Dance direc
tor. 6. Traffic and ticket sales
director. 7. Race director. 8. Pub
licity director. 9. Queen and court
director. Under this plan each
director would have final auth

single "buck" as a reward from
Barratt. He promptly mailed
the billfold back to him. All
he asked was the price of his

"Someone may do the same

honest hunter.
Barratt made it clear that

Morrow Grid Teams
Mustangs To Meet
Highlander Club
In Vital Match
Heppner's Mustangs, rated 16th
in the State AP A-2 football poll
and riding the crest of the three
straight victories, travel to Burns
Friday to meet the Highlanders
in a game which could very well
decide the championship of the
Greater Oregon League. The
two teams are currently in a
deadlock at the top of the heap
with 2-0 conference records.
The Highlanders, on their last
outing, scorched the Sherman
Huskies, 54-6. In all of their
games this season they have
proven they can score at will.
The only defeat the Burns eleven
has suffered this year was a
'2-6 thumping at the hands of
Maupin, a tough B club which is
jndefeated in the state.
The Highlander outfit is a big
?lub with plenty of speed. It has
bout a 20-pounds per man
eight edge on the lighter Mus
angs. They run from an un
balanced "T" formation which is

Clocks Turn Back
One Hour Sunday
Daylight saving time comes
to an end in Oregon officially
on Sunday, October 27, at 1
a.m.
This means that all residents
will turn clocks back one hour
to revert to Standard Time,
thereby getting to sleep an
hour longer on Sunday morn
ing. .
While the official change Is
set for 1 a.m., probably not
many will arise at that hour
to set their clocks back. It may
be done before retiring Satur
day night or after arising Sun
day morning. The fellow who
forgets to do it may find him
self going to work an hour
early Monday morning.
Daylight saving in Oregon
was originally set to come to
a close in September but it
was extended by the legisla
ture to October 27 to conform
to neighboring states.
One immediate result that
will be noticed is that it will
seem to get dark pretty early
in the afternoons henceforth.
Lethal Stations
Placed in County
Lethal bait stations are now
being placed in Morrow county
for the control of predatory an
imals in the interest of livestock
and game management, Carl Mc
Daniel, government hunter,
states.
Dog owners are especially ad
vised to take notice of the fact
to prevent them from being pois
oned. Warning notices are posted
at strategic points within the
immediate area and at the sta
tion site itself.
Detailed information may be
obtained by contacting McDaniel

similar to the Mustang forma
tion. Burns uses flankers and
floaters and is dangerous with
the pass although they have not
had to use the airways much in
competition.
Another of the Burns advan
tages is that they will be playing
the game on their home turf
and they have a record of being
tough to stop in their own terri
tory. The Horsemen will be out to
lay low the home field and
weight advantages that the
Highlanders enjoy. They have
been drilling spiritedly during
the past week, according to
Coach Jim Sutherland, and are
ready to prove that their vic
tory of last week was not a bit
of magic.
The Mustangs will go with
the same lineup they used in the
Pilot Rock game and will be re
lying on the swift legs of Larry
Muessig and Lee Padberg to
carry them to victory. Thsy also
hope to spring their tough de
fense and catch the Burns point
machine off its guard. The Hepp
ner defense has allowed only 21
points to cross its goal line in
the last three contests.
Sutherland pointed out that
the Heppner eleven is up for this
one and that it should be a closa
contest.

32 Teams Start
League Bowling
Body english, bright shirts and
bowling balls greeted the open
lng of league play Monday night
at Heppner s Fiesta Lanes. A to
tal of 32 teams competed in the
two leagues billed for the keg
lers' opening night. One started
at 6:45 p.m. and the other at
9 p.m. The starting time of the
leagues will alternate each week.
Thus the Monday night league
which bowled at 6:45 this week
will begin at 9:00 next week
and vice versa.
The league will run until the
end of April and at that time
the winners will be decided, ac
cording to Art Dyck, owner of
the lanes. Dyck added that the
prizes to be awarded the winning
teams in each league will be
decided by the trophy commit
tee for that league.
Tuesday night each week will
find the women bowlers chal
lenging one another for bowling
supremacy.
Dyck stated that there are a
total of 48 sponsors thus far
for league teams. He said that
the Monday. Tuesday and Wed
nesday night adult leagues are
filled while the Thursday, Fri
day and Sunday night mixed
doubles leagues are still in the
formation stages.
Meanwhile, the younger bowl
ers will get the chance to prove
their ability in Saturday morn
ing and after school leagues. So
far the Saturday morning 4-man
junior league is full as well as
the bantam league slated for
the same morning. The starting

Face Crucial Games
Riverside, lone
To Battle Friday
For League Crown
Two Morrow county football
teams, the Riverside Pirates and
the lone Cardinals, are slated
to square off for the champion
ship of the Umatilla-Morrow
league Friday afternoon at 2:30
on the lone field. The winner
of the tussle will get the nod
to enter the state eight-man foot
ball playoffs. The host Cardinals
will also hold their homecoming
activities at the game.
The Cardinals will send their
high-powered offense and stingy
defense to meet the Pirate
threat. The lone backfield is
built around Ken Klinger, a hard
running back who executes each
phase of the game with equal
dexterity. Klinger is capable of
crunching the middle, running
the ends with his sharp speed
or lobbing the long bomb
through the airways. Also a
threat in the Card secondary is
Mark Ilalvorsc n who has kept i
the opposition off balance with ;

of these leagues will be eight
team affairs with the only diff
erences, besides the age of the
competitors, being that the ban
tams will only roll two games
instead of the customary three.
The Monday night after school
league for both juniors and ban

the Wednesday evening league

running ability. On defense, two
freshman, Leon and Leland Ma
gill, will be counted on heavily
by the lone club. Both turned
in outstanding performances last
outing. Great losses to the team
are Joe Halvorsen, a tornado
on defense, and Bob Emert who
anchored the center of the lone
line. Both boys suffered injuries
in conference action.
Dick Strait, lone coach, com
mented that the game stacks up
to be a real thriller but that
the loss of the two players will
take something from the effec
tiveness of the lone attack.
Riverside goes with a trio of
fast backs to get the scoring Job
done. Klinger's counterpart in
the Pirate backfield is Steve
Partlow who scored three times
in the club's last outing. Partlow
is both an excellent passer and
runner and on occasion has got
ten behind the enemy secondary
to snare a few passes. The other
two speed merchants in the
Riverside express are Alan Hobbs
and Glen Schmeder. Schmeder
handles a bulk of the passing
chores for the north end club.
The Pirates will have the
weight .advantage on the lone
team which averages 152 pounds

however, and the uound advan

Curfew Law
Said Coming
In County
Curfew for all those under 13
years of age will go into effect
in Morrow county as of Friday,
November 1, County Judge Oscar
Peterson said Thursday.
This action is taken by mutual
agreement with Umatilla coun
ty, and the Washington coun
ties of Walla Walla, Franklin
and Benton, he said. Represen
tatives of the five counties met
in Pasco two or three months
ago to set up the plan. From
Morrow county were District At
torney Herman Winter and Judge
Peterson.
Apparently the action here
does not stem so much from any
particular local need but rather
to cooperate with the adjoining
counties to help enforcement of
their problems.
Judge Peterson said that he
expected enforcement of the cur
few would be placed in the
hands of Sheriff C. J. D. Baunian
and state and city police would
be asked to cooperate.
In Umatilla county, Judge D.
R. (Sam) Cook declared the cur
few and said that he expected
the other four counties to take
action on the matter this week.
The Morrow county court did not
act on the curfew at its Wednes
day meeting, but Judge Peter
son said that he expected action
would be taken soon.
Background on the curfew
plan seemed to be somewhat
vague. No flagrant trouble has
been reported here, but the im
petus apparently comes from the
neighboring counties. The judge
indicated that because Morrow
joins Umatilla county it Is diffi
cult for Umatilla to enforce Its
curfew unless Morrow follows
suit.
Under the action In Umatilla
county it is unlawful for persons
under the age of 18 to be upon
any street, highway, park, alloy
or other public place between 12
a.m. (midnight) and 5 a.m. on
Friday and Saturday nights, and
between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. on
any other night, except when ac
companied by his or her parents
or legal guardian, or In proceed
ing directly to or from his work
in the regular course of employ
ment, where such employment
has been approved by competent
authorities under the procedure
outlined by the statue.
If questioned by a law en
forcement officer, the burden or
proving the right to be upon
any street, highway, park, alley
or other public place, during the
time above specified, shall be
upon the minor.
The ordinance defines "public
place" as including, "but not
limited to, places of amusement
and entertainment, public build
ings, parks, playgrounds, dance
halls, vacant lots or other un
supervised places."
City Recorder Ted Smith said
that he had not heard about the
curfew and so far as he knew,
the City of Heppner has taken
no action on it.
Soil Conservation
Speaking Contest
Set Monday Night
Students of the area will par
ticipate in the local competition
of the annual Soil Conservation
speech contest Monday night at
8 p.m. in the Heppner High school
multipurpose room. The public
is urged to support the contes

This year's topic Is "Wood
land Management in the Hepp
ner Soil Conservation District."
Speech classes of Mrs. Janet
Groves of Heppner High school
are cooperating, and 13 students
have prepared speeches for the
contest. It is expected that the
field will be narrowed to six
speakers at the high school, and
these will participate Monday
night.
Heppner's winner last year,
Martha D o h e r t y, went on
through district, area and state
contests to become the state
champion, and the local winner
two years ago, Beverly David
son, was third in the state con
