Hunting Mishaps
Involve Three
Over Week-end
Giles Trench, Ben illusa
Sneak at Chamber Here
State Senator Ben Musa of The
Dalles and Giles French of Moro,
candidates opposing each other
. for the senate sent from the 18th
district. Rharcd the program at
the Monday luncheon meeting
of the Heppner-Morrow county
Chamber of Commerce.
Each talked for about 10 min
utes on non-political subjects.
French, the first speaker, said
that this country Is in the In
evitable process of change.
"Some won't like the chanRcs,
but there Is not much chance to
stop them," he said.
An abundance of water from
the Columbia River, good roads,
air and railroad transportation
make this an excellent site for
industrial development, he said.
"All that Industry needs
Is here but labor." he said. "With
labor we could appeal to al
most any company that might
be Interested in coming here.
"We have so much electricity
we are giving it away. What this
change will do to wheat farm
ing I don't know. We might have
to go to raising lettuce. But we
have people and we will have
change."
French said that residents
should take an Interest in what
is going to happen and try to
control lt without leaving the
matter to the government.
He also -discussed the public
lands program, which he said
is "terribly involved." In the
Mid -Columbia area there Is a
"lot of BLM area land not being
used and not being rented to
stockmen," he declared. French
anticipates that there will be
some opportunity to buy public
lands.
He added that a legislator
should know all about the area
he seeks to represent, and
touched on the matter of prop
erty taxes, saying that this area,
with a valuation of $122,000,000,
pays $8 million annually in
property taxes or about 7 of
the valuation. Income taxes are
of distinct advantage to farmers,
he said.
Senator Musa concurred with
French on changes coming to the
area and added, "The change is
coming closer than you realize."
He spent some time discussing
the last (special) session of the
legislature when "wo had to
amend some of our handiwork."
Musa said that the legislature
didn't like Its tax proposals nny
better than the people did but
said, "We must live within our
foreseeable Income."
He told how the legislators
agreed to restrict business at the
special session to the tax and
fiscal matters but made one Im
portant exception, the action to
save the Boardman project.
"We had an obligation to
meet that we could not turn
down," he said.
"We did sustain the Boardman
project. It was the only thing
we could do. We had to keep
the promise, had to keep the
pledge," he said. "I have very
fond hopes that it will open up
the potential of commercial en
terprise." Sen. Musa also related how in
1951 he worked to prevent coun
ty assessors from being appoint
ed by the Tax Commission rather
than being elected by the people.
He alone insisted on a minority
committee report, he said, that
finally resulted in the proposal
being defeated.
"This would take too much
power from the people," he said.
Sen. Musa was Introduced by
Al Lamb, Chamber president
and Morrow county Democratic
Central committee chairman, and
French was introduced by Don
Turner, county Republican Cent
ral committee chairman.
One hunter died of a heart
attack and two others suffered

game next week. In this case
Burns and Heppner would have
3-1 marks but the Mustangs

of having defeated - the team

The western division champ

Burns has held an edge over
the Mustangs for the past sev

of the school will have entries

rally will be held at the inter

Some gloom settled in the
Mustang camp early this week

was ill, and it looked as if he
might be out for the rest of
the season. This would have
been a serious blow to the Mus

turned into the scoring power
for the Heppner eleven.
However, his father, Jim Dris
coll. said Wednesday that re
ports indicate Tim's Illness is
not serious. He has shown good
improvement and was expected
to be out to practice again Wed
nesday. With Driscoll back in ihe line
up, the Mustangs should be
about at full strength. Fullback
Dean Robinson has recovered
from his injury and is ready for

Heppner School Serves
l94o Lunches In Week
(Ed. Note: This article was
written bv Mrs. Gladys Van
Winkle. Heppner elementary
cook, in observance of National
Hot Lunch Week).
What really goes on behind
the serving counter when it
comes to preparing a school hot
lunch for one week?
For one given week the cooks
at the Heppner Elementary
school prepared and served a to
tal of 1940 lunches. The prepar
ation and serving of these meals
entails 106 "woman" hours.
There are three cooks and four
student helpers in the cafeteria.
In order to participate m a
Tvoe A lunch program, these
daily requirements must be met:
Two ounces protein per serving,
i cud vegetables and or iruit
(two servings of vegetables, or
two fruit or one serving of vege
table and one serving of fruit).
Included in this requirement
must be a vitamin C rich food
daily and a vitamin A rich rood
twice weekly. Two teaspoons of
butter per lunch must be served
daily also. . . ,
In order to inciuae an oi uus
and keep the cost at a minimum,
since the lunches are 5c per
student and JOc per adult, takes
quite careful planning.
For the week of September 28
October 2, 180 lbs. of beef. 48
lbs. of ham. 60 cups of dried
egg, 50 lbs. of dried beans, and
24 lbs. of tuna fish were con
sumed for the protein. Seven
teen cases of canned fruits and
vegetables, one crate of lettuce,
40 lbs. of cabbage, 55 lbs. of
fresh carrots and 25 lbs of celery
provided the vegetables and
fruits. Bread and butter and
seasonings used 65 lbs. of butter.
The state provides Hour,
powdered milk, rice and corn
meal besides some meat, vege
tables and fruits.
The menus include hot bread
al least once a week. The ele
mentary lunch program uses 40
lbs. of Hour, eight pounds ol ;
shortening and eight pounds of
powdered milk for the rolls. j
When Junior comes nome and .
says, I sure man t line any
thing we had for lunch today,"
one might smile and say, "I
know. dear, but it was a bal
anced meal."

One of the most interesting
races In the state l that be
tween Tom McCall. Republican,
and Alfred H. Corbett. Democrat,
both of Portland, seeking the
position of Secretary of State to
be vacated at the end of the
year by Howell Appling who
did not seek reelection. Consen
sus is that the two men are
running close as of this time.
Robert W. Straub of Eugene,
former state Democratic party
chairman, is making a strong
bid to unseat Incumbent Howard
Bclton of Canby as state res
urer. Belton. known as "Mr. In
tegrity" by his supporters, has
been in public office for many
years.
Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton. Democrat, Salem, is
challenged by Merlin Estep, Re
publican, also of Salem, for the
attorney general position.
Coming closer to home, Giles

atorial district Gilliam. Hood
River. Morrow, Sherman. Wasco
and Wheeler counties) as state
senator. He opposes Ben Musa of
The Dalles. Democrat and in
cumbent, who is now serving as
president of the senate.
Two new candidates are vielng
for the position of state repre
sentative from the 28th repre
sentative district (Gilliam, Mor
row. Sherman. Umatilla and
Wheeler counties). They seek the
position to be left by Jack Smith
of Condon who is not seeking
reelection. Irvin Mann., Jr., Re
publican, of Stanfield is opposed
by Martin H. Buchanan, Demo
crat, of Milton-Freewater. Both
are receiving a strong backing
and this looms as a tight race.
At the county level, Oscar E.
Peterson, Republican and incum
bent, faces opposition in Paul
Jones. Democrat for county
judge. Judge Peterson was nom
inated by Republicans in May
after he had once withdrawn
from the race and re -entered.
Jones has been conducting ' an
active campaign for the position.
Two are competing for the one
county commissioner post to be
filled. They are Walter H. Hayes,
Republican, of Boardman, who

Irrigon. Hayes was appointed to
the commissioner position fol
lowing the resignation of Milton
Biegel last year.
Mrs. Sadie Parrish. county
clerk, won the nomination from
both parties in May and runs
uncontested as clerk. The same
is true with C. J. D. Bauman,
sheriff for many years, who
seeks reelection, and with Sylvia
McDaniel for county treasurer.
There are contests for port
commissioner with Joseph Ta

seeking reelection for a two-year
term but opposed by Donald E.
Turner, Republican, Lexington.
rour candidates, two irom
each party, are running for
three 4-year terms on the port
commission. They are Al Lamb,
incumbent and Lloyd Berger,
both Democrats; and Dewey
West, Jr., and John R. Krebs, Re
publicans and both incumbents.
Four state measures face
voters measure No. 1 which
seeks to abolish capital punish
ment, measure No. 2. which
would amend the constitution
to permit the state to lease real
property for a period not exceed
ing 20 years (both of these are
by referendum): measure 3,
which would change the state
Workmen's Compensation law
from an elective to a compul
sory system; and measure 4,
which would prohibit commerc
ial fishing for salmon and steel-
head in all Oregon inland
waters. Both of the later meas
ures are on the ballot by init
iative petition.
One county measure is on tne
ballot that to provide a 3-year
