The district had offered a five five division split, with five teams in the eastern part of the Greater Oregon and five in the west, as a compromise on the previously-approved round robin. However, Camann said that even the five-five split would mean that the two schools could not meet their commitments with Snake River Valley schools and it was too late to withdraw for them for next year. Thus, neither Vale nor Nyssa will be in Oregon competition next year. It is expected, however, that they will return to the league in the fall of 1969 after they have adjusted their schedules. The district committee met Wednesday in Boardman to draw up an eight team round robin football schedule for the Greater Oregon league for the 1968 season. It will require sev en playing dates and leave the first two week-ends of the sea son open.

Bill's long lump ers from the side really blasted Pilot Rock here last week-end Big Russ Kilkenny Is getting back into his old rugged form and fighting for rebounds. He is rough to stop when he goes up for the basket, either to grab the ball or stuff it through the hoop. Jon O'Donnell, who lost some playing time through illness, is back in form. Big Cal Ashbeck and Steve Pettyjohn add height under the basket and are tough competitors. Randy Stillman and Larry Pettyjohn are valuable ball handlers. Rugged Bob Dobbs is another ace in Coach Bob Clough's desk who has made it tough for the opposit ion under the basket, and Jerry Healy holds up his end on the floor. This exceptionally strong bench makes it possible for the Mustangs to play hard, fast ball games and wear their op ponents down when they work together as a team as they have been since the long trip to Madras.

Football Schedule Adopted for 1968 Another Greater Oregon Foot ball League schedule for 1968 was planned by the District 7 A-2 committee February 14'. Now that Vale and Nyssa have dropped out, there will on ly by eight teams in the league next fall. Mr. Ed Hiemstra, HHS foot ball coach, said, "Besides the league games, we are trying to "The Red Cross has the great est means of communication which has ever been devised," Bob Mock a bee of Yuklma, Wn, field representative of the or ganization, told members of the Heppner-Morrow county Cham ber of Commerce Monday. He pointed out that the Red Cross can contact the most re mote place in a matter of hours, reaching men In the field of battle on emergency cases. "Sometimes they leave Im mediately In battle gear and ar rive In the United States with mud still on their faces," he said. Through the same system, any chapter in the United States can be reached with emergency messages from abroad. Mockabee, who served 24 years in the Air Force before becoming a Red Cross field reo resentatlve, was principal speaker at the Monday lunch eon meeting. David Hall of the Heppner High chapter, Future Farmers of America, gave a five-minute talk at the meeting, telling of the type of organization and purposes of FFA. Hall is a nom inee for state president of the Future Farmers this year. He was accompanied to the meet ing by Hal Whitaker, chapter ad visor. Their appearance was one of the activities of National Fu ture Farmers Week. Mockabee reviewed the his tory of the Red Cross and said that "it is doing more for hu manity today than any other organization." The League of Red Cross So cieties now includes 108 mem bers of which the American Red Cross is one. All share the same humanitarian ideas but not all necessarily do the same things or operate in the same manner. In Mexico and Germany, when a person is injured the Red Cross will care for him, but in the United States the Red Cross does not handle such individual cases, the speaker said. Some of the "firsts" attribu ted to the American Red Cross by Mockabee are these: First to launch the Christmas seal sale negotiate preliminary games with Condon and Pomeroy, Wash. If we can't get Pomeroy, we will try to get a different Washington school." HHS League Schedule ior 19G8: September 27, Heppner at Enterprise; October 4, Heppner at Sherman; October 11, Burns at Heppner; October 18, Wan- tonka at Heppner; October 25, Heppner at Pilot Rock; Novem ber 1, Grant Union at Heppner; November 8, Heppner at Madras. to combat tuberculosis; started the public health nursing pro gram; started the school lunch program; started a program of braille for the blind; served the veterans before a veterans' pro gram was organized; and help ed the American Legion get its start. The Red Cross blood program saves countless lives, Mockabee declared. "You are living In one of the best blood centers In the United Stutes, I'm convinced," he said, adding that Red Cross blood is available to patients at Pioneer Memorial hospital. He discussed the local Red Cross swimming program, the first aid program, and told of the local work of sending "ditty bags 1 to servicemen in Vietnam at Christmas time. "You'll never know how much they appreciated them," he said. Currently, service to the mili tary is taking 57 of the Red Cross budget. Often, when a serviceman Is called home on emergency leave, he is "broke," Mockabee said. The Red Cross supplies him with sufficient money to get home. A serviceman cannot come home on emgerency leave with out verification of the Red Cross. 'No other agency can fill many of the roles of the Red Cross," the speaker said. He told oi tne worn or tne local chapter and local contrib utors in meeting the annual fund Quota of the Red Cross. "You have been outstanding," he said. The campaign goal in March this year will be $1400. "It is needed more than any time since World War II on ac count of Vietnam," he said. Mockabee also showed a 9 minute film of the Red Cross work in Vietnam and of the methods of reaching servicemen in case of emergencies.
