In the Burns game the Baby Mustangs, seemed more at ease. They out played the Burns JVs at times, but in the end they began to lose the ball.

Duncan Reveals Senate Candidacy Robert B. Duncan of Portland, announced at a press confer ence December 4 his intention to run against U. S. Senator Wayne Morse in the May, 1968, Democratic primary election. rnMar, mhn nolohmtpd his 47th birthday Monday, said he had come to his aecision auer rweiviner voluntarv pledges of support from throughout the state "beyond my expectations." He also pointed out that sever al independent polls showed there Is widespread voter dissat isfaction with the incumbent senator. Duncan served two terms in Washington as U. S. Congress man from the 4th district. Pre viously he had served four years as Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives in Salem. In 1966 he ran for the U. S. Senate against Mark Hatfield who won by a narrow margin. Presently he is practicing law in Portland. In his statement Duncan stressed a record of responsibil ity and cooperation during his ten years in public service in Salem and Washington, D. C. He called attention to the need for diversification of Oregon's economy and the need for stronger representat ion in Washington to assure more fed eral contracts and new indus try for the state. "I don't promise to solve all of our problems, but I promise to try my best. I bring to this task a record of independent thinking, cooperation with oth ers, and a willingness to work with others without rancor, without name calling, without bitterness," he concluded.

Not All Toys Made For Tots; Safety Precautions Advised Santa Claus doesn't make all toys for tots. He knows a toy suitable for a ten year old boy may be potentially dangerous for a four year old child, and on Christmas Eve he tries to de liver toys accordingly. Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety spokesman for the western home office of the Prudestial Insurance Co., sug gests parents help Santa in delivering safe Christmas toys by keeping in mind the fol lowing shopper's checklist: 1. Does the toy have chem icals that may explode or poison? 2. Is the toy inflammable? 3. Is the finish on the toy labeled "antitoxic?" 4. Does the toy use electric ity, batteries or flame which may shock, ignite, or burn? 5. Does the toy have sharp or jagged edges that could cut and injure? 6. Does the toy have remov able parts that might be swallowed and cause strangulation? 7. Is the toy too heavy for a child to lift without in juring himself? 8. Can the toy be used safe ly without adult supervision? is a graduate at Wiley Colltge, sixth year with the Magicians. Oops! County Won't Receive 5 Percent Land Sale 'Bonus' Morrow county won't re ceive the 5 percent "surprise bonus" from the recent Bur eau of Land Management land sale in the northern part of the county after all. District Attorney Herman Winter has advised the county court that the five percent to which Irving W. Anderson of the BLM referred to at the auction will go Into a land sales fund to be distributed among all the state's counties and not just to Morrow coun ty. County Judge Paul Jones and others at the sale had understood Anderson to say that the county would get five percent of the proceeds after the state had taken an ad ministrative fee from that amount. This came as news to the county court and also was a big ' surprise, since nothing had come out in pre vious deliberations between the county and the BLM to in dicate that Morrow would re ceive such a sum. On the more than $467,000 in sales, the five percent would amount to more than $23,000. But District Attorney Win ter checked the law and found that the money goes in to a land sales fund to be distributed to all counties of the state in proportion to their land area. This means that Morrow will receive a mere pittance by comparison. Fortunately, the court didn't believe in Santa Claus suffic iently to have made plans to spend the money for the county's benefit, but they had started thinking how it might best be used until the bubble burst with the district attor ney's announcement.

Ordinarily high school groups are not recognized as being re liable enough to participate in the count, and so the Invitation by the society to the Heppner field biology class Is quite an honor, the teacher said. The national count Is a pop ulation sampling of ornitholog ical specimens. Statistics will be compiled to determine whe ther the bird populations are on the increase or decrease, and these will be related to Indus trial factors, air pollution, hab. Itat destruction and other pert inent applications. In conducting the local count the class, directed by Horn, will cover an organized area some 15 miles In diameter north of Hardman.
