Having lost to Sherman on the road last week, thy Mustangs must come up with a victory to keep alive their hopes for a third place In the western division in order to earn a playoff spot for tho district tournament. Coach Bob Clough's lads have only lost one at home this year, that to Pilot Rock in a non counter, but they have vet to win a counting game on the road. The league's top teams, Pilot Rock and Grant Union, have both found the Wahtonka lair to be a killer, each having tasted defeat at the hands of the Eagles there earlier this season. lloppner has a home victory over Wahtonka, but the Eagles have been on a surge, and It is sure that If the Mustangs win, It will be a hard-fought decision. Thev will find no rest after returning home because the Blue and Gold face Grant Union of John Day here Saturday night. A capacity crowd is expected for this fray. , as i etanrfq now. three teams Heppner, Burns and Wahtonka are tied ior intra, unucr mu district tourney setup, the two top teams in the western div ision and the champion In the eastern division automatically go to the district tournament at La Grande on March 12 and 13. However, the third team In the west and the second team In the east must play for the fourth hnrth in ihp tournament. That's why the Mustangs are hoping for no less than a mira piace imisn. The Mustangs close their season against Pilot Rock here Friday, February 26. Ione's Cardinals also have a pair of games this week-end, meeting Echo at home Friday night and traveling to Helix Saturday night Coach Gene Dockter's club closes out the regular season the following week-end with a pAlr of league contests, against Umatilla at lone on February 26 and Umapine there on February 27.

(Continued on page 8) Approval Given On Rock Creek Road Repair Job Area civil defense administra tor in Everett, Wn.. has notified Judge Paul Jones that the Rock Creek road to Lone Rook has been accepted as a project to be repaired at government expense by an appropriate federal agen cy, the judge said Wednesday. Some eight miles of the road, including a bridge, will be re stored in the project, The road, which has never been opened since the December flood, will be closed until iurtner nonce, me judge said. This prolect Is just one phase of the federal aid. The county was permitted to name one job from the Christmas flood that should be submitted for a fed eral agency to undertake. The Rock Creek road was chosen and cost of the 1ob was estimated at $19,000. This is separate from aid that will be given under public law 875 on other roads of the county and also separate from relief on Federal Aid Sys tem roads. , t . The county has submitted restoration of bridges on the But ter Creek road as a project from the January storm to be handled by a fedeal agency. This would be under the same terms as that on the Rock Creek road. At the present time the county court is waiting to hear whether this will be approved. It is not known at this time when work will start on the Rock Creek project Bob Reynolds, representing the state highway commission and the Bureau of Public Roads, was in the county Wednesday surveying damage of the Jan uary flood in order to make a report for consideration of aid. Judge Jones said that this as sistance will tie in well with the county's regular road pro gram. "However, I can't stress too heavily the importance of the road serial levy," he said.

This will be either In the square opposite the word "Yes" or the ope opposite the word "No." How he marks those ballots will determine whether the coun ty will be permitted to levy taxes of $125,000 per year for the next three years for the road department. The election Is on the propos ed road serial levy, which for the past 12 years has iurnisnea the foundation for road expen ditures in the county. A proposed serial levy for $100,000 per year for three years was defeated at the time of the Special Election Poll Places Listed Polling places for the special election on the road serial levy In Morrow county Wed nesday, February 24, are an nounced by Mrs. Sadie Parrish, county clerk, as follows: S.

Without the road serial levy, the county would have only some $80,000 from receipts other than taxes for its 1965-66 road program, aside from whatever is received from the government for flood relief. "A day's drive around the xAimtv urmilH ffinvtnoe anvone of the need," the judge said. The nine polling places in me county will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Wednesday. While county officials would like to have a heavy turnout of voters for a true expression from the county's residents, it Is fear ed that the election may attract only a light vote. Sample ballot for the election Is printed, as required by law, on page 4, of section 2 of this paper. No sample ballots other than this were printed for distribution.
