ThU will be th newvh of Blue Mountain Community College, and It heralds a bright future for the college which has progressed so fast In such a ,h(0rgtanUed In 19G2 after a vote of the people In Umatilla and Morrow counties It was designed to fill a need that higher educational Institutions In the state could not meet The new college met some terrific handicaps, not the least of which was Its lack of facilities. Even now. the college Is widely d i persed over Pendleton with various classes going on In a hair- doren different location. . . , . A dedicated board, made up of members from various points In the counties, and excellent leadership provided by President Wallace McCrae and members of his staff have resulted In enlightened policies and have nurtured growth of the Blue Mountain Is doing a particularly good Job in filling educational needs not met by other Institutions. This has been the reason for It growth, and this Is the thing that will Insure its future. It Is taking some students who feel they are not equipped to meet the competition In established higher education institutions but who have mechanical or technical talents that can and should be developed. It Is offering college transfer work for those who. perhaps for financial reasons, are unable to attend the established colleges. It Is furnishing evening courses throughout the two-county area, supplying neds felt by adults and youth alike. It Is so versatile in Its. program, in fact, that it Is even now assisting with a proposal to help supply the need for a mental health clinic here. Morrow county residents have been solidly in support or Blue Mountain College from its inception. They have always voted strongly for the college budget and gave exceptional support to the serial levy which Is paying part of the cost of the construction of the first college building. Morrow people apparently can see that the college Is making a real endeavor to meet the needs that It Is In a position to supply. The board of directors has followed the policy of keeping all the people of the district informed; the college staff has been generous in making trips to the county to speak, teach and bring Information. Thus, even 60 miles away, our people can feel that they figure in the plans for the college, and that Blue Mountain is our college. While making its progress, the college leadership has been economy-minded to give the district the best value for its rruney. To date. Blue Mountain has proved to be a good bargain for taxpayers, and there Is every evidence that this will be true for the foreseeable future. Proud of Those Pesky Mustangs! By its very nature, a mustang should be a pesky critter. A sports writer of the Oregonlan staff, telling of the Heppner game with Dayton In the state A-2 basketball touranment, used the adjective, "pesky." in describing Heppner and their refusal to give up. , . "For the Pirates ... the final buzzer was a welcome aifair. he wrote. t , . , Dayton, mind you. had four starters back from last years state tournament team and came to the 1965 classic with a record of 22-2. No wonder it took the Mustangs a quarter to get adjusted. But their peskiness came through and they surged within one point of catching the Pirates In the late stages of the game. . In consolation, the Mustangs once again lived up to the best traditions of their nickname against Phoenix, which enter ed the tournament undefeated and with the No. 1 ranking In the state in the final polL Down 23-10 at the end of the first quarter Heppner's never-quit kids came back and were running their opponents wild by end of the game, losing by only three, 81-78, and helping to set a new high score for a single game in the tournament record book, 159 points, as well as the highest score for a losing team, 78 points. The pesky Mustangs had the radio announcer apologizing in this one. He had declared midway in the game, "This is the first lop-sided game of the tournament," but said several times before the end, "Heppner is making me eat my words." Spirit shown by the kids electrified those in the home town who listened to the games. Our folks just couldn't be more proud of their team in defeat Their losses were in reality victories with the odds against them. With the showing made against these high-powered squads in the face of the Mustangs' inexperience in tournament play, it it might be speculated that with a little more seasoning and experience Heppner just might have gone all the way. But this is immaterial. No one could complain of the way they performed for all of eastern Oregon. There's another year coming. True we lose four good men, but six fine ones are back, and some topnotch youngsters are on their way up from jayvee and frosh ranks. Those Mustangs just might go rarin' back to the state tournament next year, just a little more pesky than ever! How About Giving a Pint of Blood? In the past two visits of the Red Cross bloodmobile to Heppner our showing has not been good. Donations of blood were only about half that of the goal, and a total of only some 90 pints was given, an average of 45 per trip. We can do better than that! For those of us who have had no emergencies in our families, perhaps the need isn't close enough. Others have certainly felt this need. There are those right in our own area who would have lost loved ones if it were not for the blood provided through the Red Cross. No one knows when an emergency might come to his own family, and with the bloodmobile due here, It Is a good time to think on this. But if it should never come to your family, what better satisfaction could you have than realizing that your blood might be the determining factor in keeping some ill or injured person alive? It is easy to give a pint of blood, and to a person whose health is normal there are no ill effects. Any who are not in condition to give will not be allowed to donate because all are carefully screened through the staff that comes with the blood mobile. This area has quite a few generous givers gallon clubbers and more who never fail to show up when the bloodmobile arrives. These persons seek no special credit but they are entitled to special praise for their regard for their fellowmen. Heppner, even without assistance from the rest of the area,"" has a population of more than 1900 persons. Our average of riving at the blood bank has been less than 3 of the pop ulation, and the 3 includes many from surrounding areas. That isn't a record to make us very proud. It's something that can be changed Monday. The unit will be at the Elks Temple between 3 and 6 p. m.

Heppner cam at the state tournament Only seven persons showed up for the hearing, probably some thing of a new local record In recent years at lean, and all of them were there in an official capacity, it tot some real dedication for a basketball fan like Howard Cleveland, chairman of the board, to stick to hi post at a dull hearing. Irvin Kauch and Andy Van Scholack. also stuck It out alone with Shirley Loyd and two from Boawman. Alone about 'M to nine, wnue the group fidgeted, awaiting anyone who might want to come nd remonstrate. Supt. rotter made the noble gesture and vol unteered to remain for the bal ance of the hour, apparently re quired bv law. Howard and Shirley, particu larly, lost no time In accepting and skittered out. Thev did get to hear the last part of the ball game. I This was oulte a chance from some of the budget hearings ot the past few years! It would be nice if all voters are as satisfied with the budget a this lack of remonstrance would Indicate. ONE OF the saddest persons In town Sunday was Pam Mc Cabe. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest McCabe. She had made plans to go to the state basket ball tournament at Coos Bay. being a sophomore at Heppner High. But she blossomed forth with one of the most spectac ular cases of measles one could have, and that kept her at home. Maybe next year, Pam! IF THE MUSTANGS do make It back to the state tournament next year, there will be six on the sauad who will have had tournament experience, and that sounds mighty good Gene Hel iker. Jim Doherty, Mac Hoskins. Jim Jacobs. Tim Driscoll and Bill Snyder. The team will miss Carl Bauman's steady reliabil ity. Stu Dick's zip and dribbling, certainly Wayne Evans sharp- shooting and Bruce Spencer's good work under the boards. But thev will start next year with a pretty well loaded team. That's one of the beauties of d avinz 10 men all year, as Coach Cloueh has done. Indica- tions that most of these six have not nearly reached their high school peaks. Doherty has shown that he has the shooting touch, but he seemed to need confidence. He has apparently found this confidence in the tournaments and turned in a fine performace at Coos Bay. Heliker Is coming along fast His speed and ballhawking on the court, along with his shooting ability will make him a top man next year. Hoskins, just a sopho more (like Doherty), has made great improvement this year, and his height will be a factor on next year's team. Jim Jacobs who Joined the varsity rather late is a natural strong man husky enough to lend real de fensive strength. He showed this defensive ability in guarding Mikel of Pilot Rock in the last game at home in the regular season. And Jacobs is only a sophomore! Bill Snyder seems to have most of the elements of a natural ball plyaer and prob ably peaked this year before some of his teammates. He'll be a stalwart next year. Tim Driscoll, one of those all-around athletes football and track star, has not developed quite so fast in basketball, but he has been strong on the court in late sea son and turned in a good tourn ament for Heppner. Also back will be two more Mark Brown and David Clark, Juniors who couldn't play in the tournament because the squad is limited to 10 men. But they, too, will be seasoned veterans next year. Some of the upcom ing boys from the jayvees and freshmen ranks will furnish strong competition for places on the traveling squad. We understand Madras is dropping back to A-2 from A-l next year, and that could make it tougher for all Greater Ore gon teams. But if our kids mind their P's and Q's and keep de veloping, they could come up with a team that would really make them sit up and take no tice next year.

Forest Program Instructs Grange At Sunday Meet Reseal Available For Three Grains, ASCS Announces REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS? Fred Mankin brings in a clipping he got from someone out of the Camp Point, Ind., Journal that stirred some mem ories: "VENDUE: Having sold my ION'E Willows Grange bers attended the church of their choice on Sunday. March 21. that date betne named Grange Sun- dav. , A potluck dinner was enjoyed by Grangers and guests pre ceding a program. "Our Forests." which was sponsored by the ag ricultural committee. Mr. Rouse, Forest Service rep resentative, first explained a map of the Heppner Forest Re serve, pointing out plantings and sales areas over a period of years. Twenty-two million board feet of lumber is harvested each year, with a net income to Morrow county of $24,000 an nuallv. Trees harvested now are from 200 to 250 years old. The next harvest will be trees from 120 to 150 years old when they reach the peak of quality. Two films were shown, one on "Wild Life." and the second. "The Birth of a Tree." both of which were most interesting and instructive. Other program numbers were reading of Joyce Kilmer's poem Trees" by Mrs. Lee Palmer, and an article. "What lone Garden Club is doing about Trees," by Mrs. Phill Emert. At the business meeting tne agricultural committee uKc farmers to spray along roads and highways for the sand burr which is infesting Morrow coun ty and may easily get out of control. The legislative committee sug gests that all persons contact their legislators and congress men regarding the re-apportionment bill. We feel that there should be both population and area representation. Both the Grange and Home Economics club went on record as favoring assistance to Uma tilla County in financing the June 1965 session of the Oregon State Grange. The Home Economics club met at the home of Mrs. W. C. Craw ford on Friday, March 18. with Mrs. Oscar Lundell as co-hostess. Nine ladies are making entries in the sewing contest for State Grange. Announcement was made tor a business and insurance agents meeting at Rhea Creek Grange Hall on March 24, at 6:30 p.m. A Masters' and Overseers Conference is slated lor Apnt 2 at Willow's Grange hall with a 6:30 potluck supper, proceed ing the meeting.

As a normal practice In the re seal operation, the older crops are periodically dropped from the program to lessen the prob ability of deterioration and put the grain into a position for movement into various outlets before loss or deterioration oc curs. The reseal program facilitates the holding of stocks of grains on the farm for feeding or ship ment as demand develops with out unnecessary handling or freight charges.
