The purpose of the meeting will be to instruct volunteers and give the Crusade packets. All captains and volunteers are urg ed to attend. Morrow county volunteers will be among some 2,000,000 throughout the U. S. helping in the American Cancer Society's annual educational fund-raising campaign. The Crusade's educa tional message urges everyone to have an annual health check up by a physician and to learn the seven danger signals that may mean cancer. The fund ap peal provides support for re search, education and service programs. County chairman Ken Robin son said he is confident that "all people of Morrow county will respond to the Crusade, and will give a neighborly reception to the ACS volunteers who will call with life-saving literature." He said that knowledge of the facts contained in the Crusade literature "may help save a life in your family, A generous con tribution would help save other lives now as well as in the future." One cancer patient in three is saved today," he said, "but we have the medical know-how to save one in two today without making a single new research discovery. The difference in needless cancer deaths amount ing to more than 90,000 persons each year can be made up if we persuade people to get to their doctors in time for prompt and proper treatment. This is why the life-saving educational phase of the Crusade is so im portant." Woman to Face Assault Charge Mrs. John R.

NOW ANY 3-IO 25 S Kl ' Mustangs, Cards Make Showings In Speed Affair Heppner and lone High school track squads hit the road last Friday to travel to Milton-Free-water to compete in the Mac Hi Carnival of Speed. The Mustangs and the Cardinals were in tough competition as in almost every event they competed against athletes from larger schools in both Washington and Oregon.

Lee Padberg, Heppner's prize miler, turned the trick again at the meet as he ran the competition into the ground to win the mile in 4.39.3. Padberg was paced through the race by John Wagenblast, another fine miler for the Mustangs. Wagen blast led the field for three laps before he tired. Still, he fin ished a respectable eighth In a field of sixteen. Padberg also turned in a time of 2:05.5 in the 880 to place sec ond in that event. The Heppner senior gained enough points through his two finishes to place second in the high point stand ings for the meet. Joe Halvorsen of lone was the only Cardinal who finished high on the list for the day. The lone sprinter turned in a time of 10.0 in the 70 yard high hurdles to take sixth. Mark Brown and Aaron Smith ran the two-mile for the Mus tangs and finished sixth and seventh respectively. Brown's time of 11:26 will enter the rec ord books as a Heppner High record as it is the first time that a Heppner athlete has entered competition in that event. Dave George and Daryl Dick, Mustang high jumpers, tied for sixth place in that event. Each cleared the bar at 5'6". In the Discus, Doug Dubuque heaved the platter a distance of 122' to place eighth. In all, 32 schools of all sizes from Eastern Oregon and Wash ington entered the meet.

The Arlington affair is a two year old event which the Mus tangs have won since its inaug uration. Should the Mustangs be able to win again this Saturday, they would win permanent pos session of the trophy which is awarded annually to the winner of the meet.
