Oregon-State for Late Vacations - Or gons travel Information division has started a new pro gram for attracting visitors, we note from a recent m'ftline An advertisement suggested coming to this state for fall a cations. , , . Noting the amount of travel on the highways , over the week-end and the popularity of many camping J' pears that a good many people seem to be getting the idea. We noted some Callfornlans headed north with house trailers and boats, apparently deciding, with some wisdom, that now-after the rush Is past-Is the time to travel While the weather Is a bit cooler. It Is crisp and lnvjgor. atlng. and days are sunny. Campsites and recreation places are not congested and for those who stay in motels and ho tels, rates are down for the season. Certainly one sees the state at Just about Its prettiest at this time of year, when leaves are turning to red and golden hues in the forests. Some will prefer the greenery of spring, but In Oregon, the green stays pretty much throughout the Indian summer weather for September, or at least for part of the month, can just about be taken for granted. Folks who live along the seashore will tell you that this Is one of the best months for vacations there. When the weather Is hot in land during mid-summer, it Is often cold and foggy at the Over at Stayton, we note that Jack Powell, who writes for the Stayton Mail when he is not teaching In high school, pro poses that school vacations be changed so that students may have September and not get out so early in the spring when weather is often unsettled. Might be something to that, al though it could play hob with activity schedules. How about football for instance? In some families, September may be the time when some mothers and dads can slip away by themselves, leaving the youngsters with grandma and grandpa while the kids are starting to school. Many hunters, of course, reserve their vacations for fall, but most of the died-ln-the-wool hunters axe looking not for Indian summers, but the rainy and snowy weather of late fall. For those who really want to enjoy a time when they can get away for a good rest In a period of real good weather, September Is one of the surest bets, and at the same time, from a vacationer's standpoint. Is often the most overlooked. Herbert Hamilton Funeral Services Scheduled Friday Funeral services for Herbert G. Hamilton. 56. of Heppner will be Friday. September 24. at 10 a.m. in All Saints Episcopal church with the Rev. Chandler C. Jackson of St John's Episcopal church. Hermiston, officiating.

Hamilton, owner of the wish ing Well drive-in restaurant here, was found dead in a tele phone booth at lone after mid night Wednesday morning, ap parently having shot himself with a .38 caliber revolver. He had called his wife shortly be fore his death. County Sheriff C. J. D. Bau man and State Police Officer Curtis Culp investigated. Hamilton had been a resident of this area for 16 years and had operated the Wishing Well for a number of years. He was born July 7, 1909, at Holly, Calif., and was married August 3, 1951, to Betty Happold Bradford in Hepp ner. He was a member of Hepp ner lodge, BPOE, No. 358.

It was described as a "spiral break, three ' inches below the shoulder. Mrs. Ruggles apparently caught the heel of her shoe in a mat at the bottom of the stairs and fell back with the arm behind here. The ambulance took her to Pioneer Memorial hospital for treatment, and al though she was reported improv ing satisfactorily this week, she is expected to be hospitalized for several days more. Mrs. Elmer Palmer underwent mainr curtrnrv at St Marv's hos pital in Walla Walla on Monday morning. She expects to De con fined there another week, and occupies Room 424'. Xhnday.

Heppner Highs Mustangs have started the sea son this year with a rush. After defeating Condon. 31-0, Friday they picked up more points In sports polls. In the Oregonlan Tuesday they were tied for 11th spot. That's mighty good going for the team which will be seen In action here Saturday night against the Hermiston Jayvees. Coach Jim Potter nas some words of caution for the rest of the season, however. There Is a rugged schedule ahead against some bie schools. Madras, af ter playing against A-l teams for a few years.

Impressive in the first two games has been the work of these voung players. If they can continue agaliul the powers of the area, the Mus. tangs could wind up with a real good season. ACTUALLY. HEPPNER High hM dropped to a B sire school this year with enrollment below 2iW. Pilot Rock stepped down Into this class Joining such schools as Umatilla and Condon. Currently, the Mustangs have a good crop of athletes with some fine football players and most of the state A 2 tourna- ment basketball team coming back again. But they will be In competition with some teams not too far below 500 in enroll- ment. It seems to us that they have more prestige In A 3 competit ion, but whether they can main tain their status with the lack of manpower coming up Is an Interesting question. Our Mus tangs must certainly now rep resent one of the smallest of A-2 schools in the state. The other side of the coin Is that forthcoming developments here may shoot up enrollment In a few years. Just at this mo ment comes word that Congress has approved the Willow Creek dam project. Construction a few years from now should bring In quite an Influx of students. So. It Is hard to say what the future holds. For right now. our team Is doing just exception ally well with its scheduled competition. MEANWHILE, over at the Round-Up some of our local cowboys did right well for them selves. Rolce Fulleton won a go round of wild cow milking, we hear, and that should pick him up a pretty goon purse. e un derstand that Ron Currin won a go-round of wild horse rac ing. Go for them! Maybe we have had some other local winners in the Round-Up. too, but they haven't been brought to our attention. ITS QUITE AN EXODUS from the old home town when all the college kids pack off and leave for fall term. The differ ence is quite noticeable, as we miss seeing them in the stores and around the streets. They certainly go to the four winds, choosing educational in stitutions all over the country.

WHEN a high school graduate goes off to college, his par ents probably have more anx ious moments about It than he does, wondering whether he can meet the stiff competition, make adjustments to a new life and so on. Most of them, we are certain, will do real well if they apply themselves. They certain ly will have to face all kinds of new experiences, but these may not be as bad as it might nmwjir. It reminds us of the story of two hillbillies who had never been on a train before. Thev were drafted for service and were en route to camp. A porter came tnrougn tne train wiunx bananas which neltner mount aineer had ever seen. Each bought one. As one of them bit into his banana the train en tered a tunnel.
