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.

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.

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."

EVERY SO often someone comes
to Heppner seeking to find if
he has any relation to the found
er of the city. Latest to arrive
was Don Heppner of Mt. Shasta,
Calif., a town Just a wee bit big
ger than Heppner.
He was en route home from
a hunting trip in Montana and
detoured around this way to
visit for the first time the town
that bears his name- Mr. Hepp
ner said that he is related to the
Heppners who live in British
Columbia. On two occasions re
cently, Heppners from B. C have
visited here for the same rea
son, but apparently none has
found that he is related to Hen
ry Heppner of local history.
ELSEWHERE IN this paper is a
story about Old-Timer Scott
Brown breaking his hip In Port
land. Since that was written
Mrs. Brown has sent a letter
with more details on his pro
gress. Scott had surgery Satur
day and is "getting along nicely
now, she writes.
Scott, age 86, went huckle
berrying this year, went to the
Pendleton Round-up, went deer
hunting and shot his deer the
first morning, "thanks to the
Bryce Keene family, our old
neighbors," Mrs. Brown said.
'Then he fell off the garage
roof! But it could have been
worse."
Mrs. Brown said that they give
their copy of the Gazette-Times
to the Odd Fellows home when
they are through with it. "I al
ways send ours there unless
Scott wants to keep it, and they
just scrap over who shall read it
first!"
Well, we Join all Scott's local
friends in hoping that he mends
quickly and will be back around
for another visit soon.
DON'T FORGET to turn the
clock back an hour when you
go to bed Saturday night!
