Patient Lee Hams
To Seattle Hospital
A small one-motored U. S.
Army plane circled low over
Heppner several times carUr
Tuesday before the pilot land
ed on the air strip at the home
of Dr. C. M. Wagner.
The plane, through arrange
mont of the Navy, was here to
pick up Lee Hams who was
injured in an auto accident
near lone on June 21. Hams,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Vester
Hams of lone, Is serving In the
Navy.
The convalescing man was
brought to the air strip by
ambulance from Pioneer Mem
orlal hospital and was able
to assist himself in climbing
aboard. The Plane then took
off for a Seattle hospital where
Hams will continue convales
cence with treatment by the
Navy.
Arrangements for the air
pickup were made through Dr.
Wagner. The Navy found that
it had no plane in the area
small enough to land on a
local field, a 4-motored Job
belnc the smallest. A helicop
ter was considered, but fin
ally arrangements were made
for the Army plane to do the
lob, and it was sent out from
Ft. Lewis. , , ,
Hams, who suffered a basal
skull fracture, concussion and
other fractures in the accident,
is improving, very well now,
his doctor said. However, he
has been conscious only for the
past few days. For a time he
was on the critical list, but
now seems to be well on the
road to recovery.

Model Quarter Horse
Association
Activity to
Opening, of the national head
quarters of the Model Quarter
Horse association in Monument
last week bids to injct some
exciting new activity Into the
picturesque town on me worm
Day River.
William H. Faster, better
known among horse lovers and
breeders as "Red"' Foster, has
plans for developing the new
headquarters that border on the
fabulous for this area.
He moved the association
headquarters from Alturas, Calif.,
principally because he acquired
so much property and so many
Interests In this country that it
was easier for him to locate
here than to travel back and
forth from the southern state.
At the present time he has
some 65.500 acres in the Monu
ment country, and said one day
last week thut he owns every
thing along the river from Rltter
to Monument.
Included in his plans are the
construction of a dude ranch
and motel at Monument. Plans
have been drawn for a 60-room

Two Ministers Take
Dunkinas on Trip
On John Day River
Elder Elwood Boyd, pastor of
the Seventh-day Adventlst
church of Heppner. and Perry
Parks, pastor at Condon, made
a trip from Spray to Twicken
ham by homemade canvas
canoe on the John Day river
last Wednesday and Thurs
day, having the time of their
lives.
In making the run, however,
the two were dunked in the
river three times and bashed
in the side of the canoe on a
rock. One of the dunklngs
came when they shot some
rapids, only to be caught im
mediately in backwater which
flipped the canoe over.
When the side of the canoe
was crushed on the rock, the
canvas was not penetrated,
and so they were able to make
repairs and continue.
The Boyd family proceeded
along much of the route by
car and joined the adventuring
ministers to camp out Wednes
day night. The family also
met at the end of the journey.

Red, who started the Model
Quarter Horse association in No
vember 15. 19C1. as an offshoot
of the American Quarter Horse
association, with its main head
quarters in Alturas, now has
more than 20,000 horses regis
tered. These are all over the
United States, including Alaska
and Hawaii, as well as in Can
ada and Mexico. There are 131
inspectors working throughout
the United States on a commis
sion basis. ,
The young new association is
continuing to grow by "leaps and
bounds." Red declares.
Admitting that his organi
zation has been called by some
an "outlaw" association, Foster
said that the Model Quarter
Horse association was formed
when the American association
closed its books,
"We register on conformation,
he said. . , , ,
One of the ambitious under
takings of the association is
publicaiton of a nationally-distributed
magazine, "The Model
Quarter Horse Magazine." The
monthly publication, which runs
up to 36 pages, has a press run
of 5000 copies and more than
4000 regular subscribers. It is a
neatly-produced magazine, weU
illustrated, and filled with in

Jab With Hay Hook Aids
In Capture of Farm Burglar
A jab with a hay hook, ad
ministered by Willard French,
Pine City rancher, resulted in
the capture of a burglar, iden
tified as Edward James Felts,
51, Spokane, recently.
French was working on his
hay field when he looked up
and saw the man burglarizing
his house. With the hook in
hand, the rancher ran towards
the house. Felts spotted him
coming and tried to beat a
hasty retreat
The burglar was in the
driver's seat of his auto (later
found to be a stolen car) when
French arrived. The rancher
reached through the window
and hooked Felts' shirt and
jacket with his impromptu
weapon. .
The man wrenched free, rip
ping his clothing in the pro
cess, and managed to drive
French called state police at
Hermiston. The message was
relayed to Officer Jim Gordon
in Heppner who was advised
that the burglar was heading
in this direction.
