Unwed Mothers
Get 93 Days Care
Figures just released reveal
that unwed expectant mothers
from Morrow County were given
93 days care at Salvation Army
homes and hospitals for unwed
mothers in Portland and Boise
last year. Cost of care was $692.
Major Pauline Snider, direct
or of the Salvation Army facil
ity in Portland, stated that two-
thirds of the girls were under
19 vears of aee. She said na
tionwide statistics show that
every twentieth baby born In
the United States is born out
of wedlock.
The Salvation Army program
for unwed mothers provides not
only medical services for moth
ers and babies but an oppor
tunity for the girls of grade
and high school ages to contin
ue their schooling. The Home
provides the opportunity for
them to learn homemaking
skills and receive professional
counseling and spiritual guid
ance, helping them to return to
society as self-reliant, contribu
ting individuals.
The help given to unwed
mothers is just one of the many
services rendered to residents of
this area. Other services are: Re
habilitation of alcoholics, fam
ily welfare service, emergency
shelters for the homeless, sum
mer camps, missing persons
bureau, and emergency disaster
service.

Jaycees Net $280
In Red Head Tilt
Morrow county Junior Cham-
her of Commerce may have
been defeated bv the Red Heads,
women's professional team, in
a basketball game at Heppner
High school gym Sunday night,
but they won at the gate.
The men lost the basketball
contest by a score of 49-35 af
ter the game was deadlocked
at halftime. 16 to 16. but their
treasury was swelled by $2Sn
for civic projects as a result of
sponsoring the event. The gate
was divided evenly between the
visitors and the sponsors.
Some 600 to 700 persons, in
cluding children, attended the
game and everyone appeared to
enjov the entertainment. The
visiting girls mixed in a dis
play of trick shooting and drib
bling and other antics to amuse
the crowd.
While the Jaycees produced
no box score nor statistics on
the contest. Clint Agee must
have been high scorer for the
locals. The Red Heads had to
use a few shenanigans to pull
him down to size.
Among those taking turns
competing with the girls were
Harley Sager. Agee, John Pan
key, Curtis Culp, Dr. Robert
Todd. Dale Holland. Jim Pot
ter. Bob Hoskins, Don McClure,
Tom Hughes and Robert Haux. i
Referees were Greg Pierce and
Simon Winter, and they found
the going pretty difficult at
times.
