BEING LIVESTOCKMAN of the Year is generally more than a
one-person affair, since the family shares in contributing to

nounced as Morrow County's 1967 Livestockman at the Farm
City banquet Wednesday night. His mother, Mrs. Alex Lindsay

. (center), is a partner with him on-their Juniper Ranch. Daugh
ters are Mary Catherine, 2, and Ann Marie, 3. (G-T Photo).
A young man, working to
wards his law degree at George
town University, Washington,
D. C, changed his plans abrupt

ex Lindsay of Lexington, died
unexpectedly.
The son dedicated himself to
the ranch operation, taking his
father's place, and now seven
vears later Larry Lindsay, still
a young man, has been selected
by a committee of ranchers as
Morrow county's 1967 Livestock
man of the Year. He thus fol

son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
(Bunny) Steers was found about
8:30 a.m. Monday, sitting by one
of several fires that members of
a search party had kindled.
He endured a cold, wet night
by making a crude shelter of
branches over small logs that
he found lying close together.
Although tired out, he was none
the worse for his experience and

the eighth grade.
Duane became separated from
a deer hunting party in mid

Heppner hosts league-leader
Madras at Homecoming, the
high spot of the '67 football
season. The game will be play
ed Friday, October 27, at a p.m.
at the rodeo grounds.
The Mustangs will pit their
strength against a White Buf
falo squad which has held the
lead in the Greater Oregon
League (western division) since
they defeated the Prospectors of
Grant Union two weeks ago.
The Mustangs, on the other
hand, are in no position to win
the championship after their
loss to the Prospectors last Week.
Even though the Horsemen
can't win the crown this year,
thev can help take the champ
ionship from the hands of the
Buffaloes. A victory over the
Madras club would give Grant
Union a chance to take the
crown. The Prospectors will
have to down the Eagles of
Wahtonka Friday night to in
sure the title if Madras loses to
Heppner.
Last week's loss to Grant Un
ion is still in the minds of the
Mustangs, who would like to
end their football season with
another win. For many of the
boys it will be their last foot
ball game for Heppner High.
These senior boys will take the
field for their last high school
football game Friday night: Al
fred Drake, Dave Hall, Bill Mc
Leod, Randy Stillman, Jim Sher
man, Terry Corbin, John Raw
lins, Steve Pettyjohn, Cary Da
vis, and Bob Dobbs.
Most of the boys played for
Heppner their entire high school
career. For some this is the end
of their high school athletics, j

Randy Stillman will be back
