(G-T Photo). New York Couple Visits; Related To City Founder Mr. and Mrs. Kaskel Heppner of New York City, who were fascinated with Morrow county as well as the entire western United States, spent last Wed nesday here trying to establish Heppners relationship to the man after whom the Morrow county seat is named Henry Heppner. Accompanied by Harold Cohn, grand nephew of Henry Hepp ner, they spent the day visiting the museum and other points of interest, w hen tney lett, tne relationship had not been pin-1 pointed definitely, but all were quite sure that there is a con- nection. When Henry Heppner came to th ITnitori Statps in 1K.t8. he I landed in New York City.

They flew to California and visited Los Angeles and Holly wood before flying to Pendle ton from San Francisco. At Pen dleton, they rented a car and drove to Hermiston, where Cohn met them and brought them here. This was their first trip to the west and they were very much impressed. They were delighted at traveling 15 or 20 miles en route to Heppner and passing only one other car, after being used to the bustle of New York City. Cohn took them back to Herm iston at the conclusion of the day, and they drove in the rent ed car to Portland, where they boarded a plane for New York, planning to be back by Sunday. They were anxious to see the scenery of the Columbia River Gorge, and this was the reason for renting the car. Harold Cohn's father, Phil Cohn, was a nephew of Henry Heppner. If anyone can estab lish the relationship of Kaskel Heppner to Harold Cohn, he would win the plaudits of the family. Halvorsen Wins State 'B' Title By MAC HOSKINS Ione's Frank Halvorsen may only be a sophomore, but what a sophomore! After fine seasons in both football and basketball, the young phenomenon added the state "B" school high jump ti tle last Saturday to his grow ing list of athletic achieve ments. Actually, his winning leap of 510" was far from his best of the year, (he has cleared six feet several times this season), but it was good enough. Joe Rosenberg of Echo took second by soaring 5'9". Halvorsen's teammate, Eddie Sherman, also a sophomore, en hanced his potential as a state class cinderman by placing sixth in the 100-yard dash. His time was 10.6, which is far from his personal best. Had he equalled his previous best of 10.2, he would have placed third. Duane Inman of Crow won the century in 10 flat. Crow easily won the "B" championship, held on Pleasant Hill's all-weather cinder track, with 90 points. Powers was far behind with 44, while Umatilla was fifth with 26 and Pilot Rock seventh with 19 points. Ione's two-man squad took 18th place with their 11 points. - TIMES. Thursday.

"To be truly happy is a question of how we begin, not how we end." She told the class we "have to make our own decisions and live by them. "This is the end of the be ginners. We are no longer be ginners. We are accomplished voung adults." Believe in America As salutatorian, Miss Peck told the students and audience that this generation "believes in America as much, if not more, than any of the generations be fore us." She described newspaper ac counts of a "sit-in" of protest ing students proclaiming an autocratic control by a school administration. "Every day we see similar news," she said, "and we get the mistaken impression that these represent American youth of today." But she pointed out that they are only a small percentage and cited examples of the good things being done by today's youth. "You need have no fear," she declared. "We will accept adult responsibilities with capable hands." Ed Hiemstra, one of two class advisors, presented the class for diplomas, and they were award ed by Irvin Rauch, chairman of the school board. Jan Hager, as president of the seniors, present ed gifts to Hiemstra and to Mrs. Bernice Struckmeier for work they had done as class advis ors.
