Congratulotions to Our Football Team A person can offer congratulation to our football player and look in Jut about any direction to find a deserving team on which to express his praises. He can point to the Heppner Ponies who have won five straight without a loss; he can express his sentiments to the lone Cardinals who have easily won the Umatilla-Morrow 8 man B league championship; or he can give the felicita Hons to the excellent Heppner High team which bowled over Bums Friday In a big victory for the Mustangs. Those who couldnt go to see the Burns game could scarce ly believe their ears when word filtered back that the Mus tings had romped over the inlanders, 26 6. Everyone around this country respects Bums as a consistent producer of fine athletic teams. Any victory for the Heppner eleven would have been sweet but that by such a whopping margin was certainly unexpected. However, the Mustangs have turned in an Impressive season with five wins against two defeats to date, and the losses by only one touchdown each. Ione's scrappy grtdders. after losing their non-league open er to Dufur, showed nothing but progress and have acceler ated their pace through the season, taking the championship without a loss and now are pointing to state B playoffs. And without a headline, the Heppner elementary team has tripped all its opposition." thereby earning the plaudits of the home supporters and forecasting good things In future years for Heppner High. But while congratulations are In order, it must be pointed out that some real battles are yet ahead for these three teams. Heppner High faces its greatest test Friday night when Sherman County comes here in the final home game of the season. After the Burns victory, the Mustangs should have renewed real for facing the More eleven, and it Is possible for them to send the western division into a 5-way tie by topping Sherman, provided Madras might perform an upset over Wahtonka at the same time. It's Homecoming for the Mustangs, too, and there will be plenty of fun and Interest in the pre-game and post-game activities. May the entire community and all alumni Join in and show their enthusiasm and appreciation for the Mus- The Ponies will have their titanic battle with Arlington at 2 pm. Friday, the game being on the same field as the Mus-tang-Huskle contest. Although they once defeated Arlington, 7 to 6, it was a real close one and the Ponies have a full af ternoon's work ahead of them. With lone, it's Wheeler county at Fossil in a night con test Friday. This is a non-league game, but Coach Gordon Meyers and his gang would like to end the season on a sweet note. , , , So. with these "crucials" coming on, and with the good work of the season behind them, we say, 'Three cheers for our teams!" May they finish their schedules on sparkling notes. FFA Boys Return With Good Reports Of National Meet The trip was wonderful, but the most lasting benefits re ceived were the wonderful " friends we made."

Rockhound Corner By RUBY MILLER At the October meeting of the Morrow County Gem and Min eral Society, the George Millers told of their recent trip into Canada and Minnesota, where they visited friends, attended a rock show and hunted for ag ates.

Chaff and Chatter Wes Sherman YOU WONT relieve this, but it happened. Dill Weatherford etil attest to that. A Tarty of wvi-n persona. Including Bill and his brother Marlon of Art Ington. were hunting china pheasants on BlU'i place Satur day, Several In the party fired at tome birds almost simultan eously. One of the pellets ap parently ricocheted from a rock and tired right back at Marion. It hit the clear In his mouth and cut a furrow straight down the cigar. It continued through his teeth and hit the end of hit tongue. It stung enough to draw a trace of blood. No one knew from whose shot gun the pellet came. If It dUlnt bounce from a rock, Bin got some awful mean and husky birds out there, to toss the shot back that hard and unerringly! W. W. says that this Is the first time In 51 years of hunt ins that they have had anything resembling an accident, but this was certainly a freak one. 9 m MRS. R. B. RICE, a gracious and happy lady at the reception on her 90th birthday Sunday in the Episcopal parish hall, re counted with a chuckle on her coming to Heppner 58 years ago in 07. fche came west rrom Missouri, betrothed to Mr. Rice, a rancher, and met him at Arl ington for the trip to Heppner. When she arrived here, she was just about ready to back out. "It was all sagebrush, and dusty! My. It was dusty." A good friend consoled her and said that if she was to stay five years, she would never think of going back. Well, the five years has stretched into 58, and Mrs. Rice said that the friend's words were very true. She Just doesn t w ant to live in any other place. ONCE A NEWSPAPERMAN has served a community as editor and publisher and his tnflurnce has been felt, he forever tx" lone to the 'family' of the par tlcuiar publication. That's the way we feel about the Craw ford, the Pcnlands and others. We got a nice letter from Art Crawford of San Jose. Calif, this week. He U the first to write about the new method of sending single conies of the paper to areas which do not nave enough for bundle. They go in paper sacks with the li t imprint outside. "1 do not need to tell you how much I enjoy getting the old G T each week, he write. "It usually arrives here In the Mon day mall and In excellent con dition. I want to compliment you In changing over from the old-style wrapper to the nice convenient envelope. It probably costs you more money but It U pleasing to note that you have your distant subscribers In mind." Art mentioned the "Japanese- named comet." saying, "Due to the smoke and haze and dirty smog, very few people In the Santa Clara Valley were able to glimpse the Japanese-named comet and, according to the scientists, it may never come this way again ever. But as one stargazer remarked, he didn't miss It so much and said he thought he would just stick around for another view of the less flighty Ha I ley's comet. Now there Is one you can depend on. 1 saw Halley's the last time it appeared. I was Just a kid in the Heppner Public School- It was quite visible in daylight. Please give my best regards to Mrs. Sherman and all the crew. All of you are doing a splendid Job." NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A ROAD RAT It telsi Urt peoWrian to avoid tK Oregon Road Rat.
