The Fighting Fourteen
Only the staunchest supporter of lone High school ath
letics would have predicted In early September that the Card
inals' football team would be fighting for a district champ
ionship by November. The outlook didn't appear very bright
fit fill
There were only 15 boys out for football not enough for
two 8-man squads. Coach Gordon Meyers at that time spoke
in some discouragement about the light turnout.
In first non-counting games, the Cards suffered defeats
at the hands of Dufur and Arlington but topped Mt. Vernon.
Some unfortunate injuries hampered them, to make the out
look a bit more bleak.
But with the start of the league season, the "never say
die" spirit gripped lone. They won over a good Echo team,
followed with victory over Weston, then tripped Umapine.
The "big one" loomed with Riverside in a Morrow county
"civil war." But by now, the Cards had gained full moment
um and rolled over the Pirates by a surprising score.
Typical of the spirit of lone was the fact that they hoped
to meet Arlington once again after being crushed by the
Honkers in that early game. They strongly felt that they
could take their measure in a second encounter with the
experience of a season behind them. But, oddly enough, Ar
lington is now out of the playoff picture, having been de
feated by Dufur.
Their number now reduced by one who left the squad,
the "Fighting Fourteen" travels to Prairie City Saturday in
the district championship game. Injuries are well healed,
spirit is high, and a mighty fine ball team has developed to
carry the Morrow county banner to Prairie City.
Ione's Cardinals have made records in sports through their
history far above a normal proportion for their size. They
have this quality called "heart" or strong desire which is
one of the most important virtues in athletics. It is an ir
resistible thing.
The "Fighting Fourteen" will demonstrate this again at
Prairie City and the very best wishes of all who appreciate
our youth giving their very best effort will go with them.
Pioneer
Ponderings
Bv W. S. CAVERHILL
Old Log Cabin
I never see one (there are not
many left) without pondering
on the place it took in our ear
ly history. The silence that sur
rounds it and the decay that is
destroying it make It unimport
ant, but at one time it was home
to someone, home with all the
romance, tragedy and aspira
tions that stir the human race
to exist and progress. It may
have been poorly built, the
walls badly chinked, the fire
place crude, and the floor of na
tive earth, but it was home
home to some of the intrepid
pioneers who came west with
a determination to create a bet
ter life in the Inland Empire.
We have come a long way from
these "log cabin" days. They
are beyond the memory of most.
Personally, I have a feeling
of satisfaction that 75 years ago
I began my career in one of
those cabins. The enusing years
have been n wonderful age to
live in. As I review the history
of the past and gaze in the
cloudy crystal ball for the fu
ture, I would choose no other.

HALLOWEEN Is a time for kids,
ami u.'o continue to believe
and we continue to believe
that one of the nice develop
ments of our time is that of
trick or treating. It is quite a
contrast to the malicious devil
ment that was rife when some
of us "old dads" were kids
and you, pop, might as well
confess, too.
w henrd some sauawks af
ter Halloween here last week
that all sorts of mischief had
been done, but actually it was
very little. Anyone of midde age
can surely remember the "bad
old days.'' This is one area in
which we can't say our kids
have "gone to the dogs."
In our part of the downtown
area, the kids scarcely soaped
a window on Halloween night.
Mavbe there was a little more
hooliganism in other areas, but
they still deserve compliments
by and large.
Such thines as the Halloween
dress parade on Crazy Days help
a lot tor tne Kias xo nave a
good time and enjoy the spirit
of the occasion. Towns where
parents and the public take
time to Dlav with their young-
sters and enjoy such occasions
with them have the least troub
le. We didn't have a picture of
the parade winners last week
so print one in connection with
this column, crazy ways may
not always fall so conveniently
near Halloween, but this idea
of a Halloween costume parade
is one that might very well be
placed on the annual calendar of
events here and expanded into
a real fun time for the young
sters.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN around
thp naie-Mav corner recently,
you should go take a look. Vic
Groshens and his city crew nave
done a beautiful job of build
inir a rock retaining wall there
that really improves the corn
er. It" is also good to have the
parking lot cleaned off behind
the First National Bank. Pros
pects are that it won't be too
long until this lot will be black
topped for parking and the re
modeled Heppner branch of
First National will be under
construction. As a story else
where tells, application for the
inh was anDroved at the coun
cil meeting Monday night, but
no information has been releas
ed yet as to when it will ac
tually get underway.
BOTH FIRE and flood came to
the old swimming pool Dam
house during the week, urst
the building was demolished
and burned. Then on ivionuay
heavy equipment inadvertently
broke a two-inch water main at
the site. Vic Groshens was gone
on vacation, and no one knew
where or how to shut off the
water, so it flooded things from
2:30 until 7 p.m.
It was a little cold for swim
ming, so the pool wasn't filled
with the water. Instead it was
channeled to the creek nearby

WE ALWAYS thought the Riv

than it should, but goodness
gracious! We didn't realize it
was as bad as the East Oregon
Ian had it in a good story by
Dean Holmes Friday.
It says, "The $1.5 billion plant
for an enrollment of 150 stu
dents is attracting attention
among professional school per
sonnel and lay people."
It certainly should attract at
tention at that price, dear Dean!
But knowing Dean Holmes from
way back, we realize, of course,
that this was just a slip of the
type. Dean was owner and edi
tor of the Sheridan Sun for
years. His story on the Riverside
school was excellent, but the
difference between an "m" and
a "b" in this case amounts to
$1,498,500,000.
We trust the day never comes
when school construction cost
reaches $10 million per student;
$10,000 is high enough!
lone Lions Club
Holds Broom Sale
Annual broom sale of the
lone Lions club was conducted
early this week in Heppner,
lone and Lexington, according
to Gene Rietmann, president of

Brooms are made by Oregon

sale thus helps the blind. The
club's share of the proceeds
goes to help with its many com
munity projects.
In addition to the brooms, the
club also sold light bulbs and
whisk brooms. Rietmann said
that if any of the brooms
were not sold, they would be
available from local outlets for
those who may have been miss
ed by the Lions on their calls.
