A course in field biology Is
a turtner application of environ

The Rhyming Philosopher
FRIENDSHIP
WHEN MY HEART IS HEAVY WITH DISCONTENT
IN A COLD HARD WORLD WITH ITS FRIGID STARE.
THEN I STRAIN TO BE FREE FROM IMPRISONMENT,
WHICH ILLUSION PREVAILS FROM A HOPE
THREADBARE;
BUT WHATEVER THE CAUSE THERE'S A CURE
TOR CARE.
I WILL SEEK OLD FRIENDS WHERE MY MIND'S AT
EASE,
THEN THE ANSWER COMES TO MY PLAINTIVE
PRAYER.
THANK GOD FOR THE BOOM OF SUCH PALS AT THESE!
WHEN THE BRAIN RUNS DRY AS A SUMMER CREEK.
AND A COMFORTING THOUGHT IS ALL TOO RARE,
THERE'S AN ANTIDOTE THAT I RUN TO SEEK
IN A TRUSTY OLD FRIEND WHO HAS LAUGHS TO
SPARE.
SEEMS HE WASHES MY MOODS WHILE I'M RESTING
THERE
LIKE THE COOLING DRAUGHT OF A MOUNTAIN
BREEZE.
THEN IT WON'T TAKE SO LONG TO BANISH DESPAIR.
THANK GOD FOR THE BOOM OF SUCH PALS AS THESE!
WHEN I WORK I WORK BEST WITH FRIENDS OLD AND
TRUE.
FOR TASKS BECOME PLEASURES WHEN PLEASURES
ARE FEW.
TRUE FRIENDSHIP IS LOVE OF THE HIGHER DEGREES
THANK GOD FOR THE BOOM OF SUCH PALS AS THESE!

Of
Personal property taxpayers are re
quired to file a return of taxable prop
erty as of January 1, 1968 with the
Assessor on or before March 2, 1968.
A penalty is provided for late filing.
Inventory owners (including all
livestock) will again be eligible for
some reduction of property tax this
year if the return is filed on time. The
law does not permit the Assessor to
allow the reduction in inventory value
for tax relief under certain circumstan
ces when the personal property report
is not accurately prepared or is filed
after March 2.
Any person who has not had an op
portunity to report by mail or personal
contact may obtain the forms at the
office of the assessor.
Time is getting short. ORS 308.290
makes it the responsibility of the tax
payer to file these reports on time or
incur the penalty provided by law.

lone High's basketball team
won the "big one" Saturday
night at home, defeating prev
iously undefeated Echo, 61 to 53,
but they lost to Umatilla the
night before at Umatilla, 58 to
52.
Their triumph over Echo put
the McEwen Scotties all alone
in first place with seven straight
victories in the Morrow-Umatilla
B league and dropped Echo
to second with a 6-1 mark.
Had the Cards also defeated
Umatilla they would have been
In third, but they hold to fourth
with a 4-3 record.
The Vikings held a 31 to 23
margin at halftime, and this
was followed by a poor lone
third quarter when they scored
only six as compared with 14 for
the Umatilla five. The Cards
came on with a big fourth quar
ter, outscoring the Viks 23 to 14,
but they fell seven points short.
Jim Cairallo scored 16 to lead
the Vikings, but Jim Swanson of
lone was game high with 19.
Frank Halvorsen finished witn
13.
Cold shooting was partly re
sponsible for the lone loss as
the team made onlv 17 of 65 at
tempts for 26 while Umatilla
hit 26 of 64 for 41.
Against Echo, the Cards cap
italized on free throws, blasting
the Cougars in that department
with 31 made on 49 attempts in
tne roui-ridden game. Kcho had
32 chances but made only 17.
The losers scored more field
goals, with 18 as against Ione's
15, but the free throws made
the difference. The Cards only
took 38 shots at the basket so
their 15 was a respectable per
centage. By halftime the Redbirds had
a 33-26 lead. Echo moved up In
the third quairter to within one
point, 37-36, but lone finished
with 18 in the final stanza
against 11 for Echo.
Frank Halvorsen blistered the
basket with 21 points and grab
bed 11 rebounds to pace the
Cardinals. Eddie Sherman had
14 and Bob Ball 10.
