Nyssa, Vale Out
Of Grid League
Jerry Camann, Vale High
school principal, has notified
Dick Carpenter, chairman of the
district 7 A-2 committee, that
Vale and Nyssa will not com
pete in the fall of 19G8 in the
Greater Oregon league in foot
ball. 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.

Frosh End Season
With Win at Condon
By MELVIN ASHBECK
The Heppner High Frosh end
ed their season with a win over
the Condon Frosh there on Feb
ruary 15. Heppner played a
slow first quarter, but went
ahead at the half, 24-18. The
Frosh kept this slim margin
until they broke the game wide
open in the last quarter, win
ning 47-37.
Curnutt with 14, and Dick
with 10, led the Frosh scoring.
Dave Gunderson, one of the
smallest kids on the floor, led
Heppner in rebounding with 11.
This was the end of a series
in which Heppner won all four
over the Condon team.

blinding speed. 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.

By BOB DOBBS

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

"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."

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.

Hayes was welcomed as a new
member of the Chamber of Com
merce at the meeting.
