Conflict- Explained
..,,., a unMAM DAnHininn ntihllrltv chairman for
wuiiain i. ijhiiii -
the Shrine Ail-Star East-West A-2 and B football game, has
explained reasons for the conflict of dates this year with the
Morrow county rodeo. He docs this in a letter to the Cham
ber of Commerce, replying to one pointing out the conflict.
Because of the general Interest in the matter, his letter
is reprinted below:
'The fact that the Heppner Rodeo will conflict with
our Shrine Football Game on August 24 this year is
most disturbing and I appreciate the concern of the
fine members of the Heppner Chamber of Commerce
who are loyal to both functions. Unfortunately, we are
like the painter who painted himself into a corner
we have no place to go. Each year our game date is
controlled by the following factors:
"1. It must follow the Portland Shrine Game in Aug-
"2. It must be played at least one week before
September 1st in order to permit the team coaches to
start football practice at their respective high schools,
whicli they are permitted to do under present OSAA
rules.
"From past experience, it appears that the third
Saturday in August usually ends up as the selected
date. Looking at the calendar for next year, it appears
that August 23 will probably be our game date; how
ever, since there can be no conflict with the Portland
game, we must await selection of their date, which is
not announced until early in February. Their date is
dependent on pro football preseason game contracts in
volving the Multnomah Athletic Stadium. All in all,
it is quite a complicated process.
"Although there is nothing we can do about chang
ing the game date this year, at least the parade time
should not interfere with each other. Our parade as
sembles at 2:30 p.m. and kicks off at 3:00 p.m. on
Saturday. The pre-game pageantry begins at the
Round-Up Grounds at 7:00 p.m. and the game itself at
8:00 p.m.
"Thank you again for your concern and for your
offer of continued cooperation. Perhaps if you avoid
.-t.he August 23rd date next year, there will be no con
flict and both events will profit all the more."
TO THE EDITOR . . .
On Behalf of Becky
July 11, 1968
To the Editor:
Just a note to express our
thanks to all the fine people
of Morrow county.
As you know the community
of Hermiston has a 7-year-old
girl in need of a heart trans
plant. This is scheduled to be
performed as soon as a donor
is available. This will all take
place at Stanford University.
The expense of something like
this is tremendous. The people
of Hermiston formed the "Becky
Howland Heart Transplant
Fund". The next step was ta
ken by the Hermiston Kiwanis.
They set up an auction for June
29, with ull proceeds to the
"Becky Howland Fund".
As a member of the Hermis
ton Jaycecs, I wondered what
we could do to help relieve the
financial burden from the How
land family. Our best idea was
to have a beef raffle A local
farmer donated a 1100 pound
steer. We had some tickets and
posters printed and we were in
business. This is where the
Jaycees of Morrow county came
in. Thev. as well as many mer
chants, were selling tickets for
our pro.lect. Witn the nelp or
many people in many local
able to raise nearly $4500 in
towns just like yours we were
just two weeks. Many other
groups had and are having fund
raising projects to help build
this fund.
To make this long letter
short, no one from Morrow
county won a quarter of the
steer, but if you sold or bought
a raffle ticket, you have shared
in helping a little girl named
Becky.
Again we say thank you.
Sincerely,
Hermiston Jaycees
Al Frost and Rick Rebmen,
Co-chairmen
Appreciates Support
To the Editor:
Since it is impossible to con
tact everyone to thank them
personally, I would like to use
this means to thank those will
ing to help by writing in me
as a candidate for Senator for
the eighteenth district.
While this was a late and un
expected move on my part, I ap
preciate the discretion of your
deferring your final choice un
til the November election.
I also respect the rights of
those who made their choices
at the primary.

Dear Mr. Sherman:
I have received the Gazette.

up on what is going on back
nome. My wue ana i are plan

service, so by getting the pa

things. I won't be too far be
hind when I get back.
I have a few friends from
Pendleton and Baker that en
joy reading it also.
Well, we are not getting hit
too bad over here right now. a
few small N.V.A. patrols we run
into now and then. We have
moved out of Kha Lahn Base,
getting ready to blow it up, and
we are on the hills around it
keeping enemy troops from en
tering it while we destroy bunk
ers and other articles around
the base. We plan to move to
Deng Ha River, where at last
reported are N.V.A. troops and
booby traps around, other than
that things are fairly quiet.
I plan on going back to the
company in about a day or two,
after being in Phy Bai medical
care where I was being treated
for a gun shot wound.
Thanks again.

someone, not knowing that the

wager that the traffic snarl sit

As he points out, part of the
trouble experienced on that
Black Day in Benton County
was due to the fact that Al
bany was having a big celebra
tion, and many avoided taking
the alternate route through Al
bany thinking that they would
get into a snarl in that city.

Our oldest son was driving and
started to turn through Albany,
but we interceded on account
of the doings there. This put

While it was a disconcerting
experience, it does give us
something to look back on and

that OSU may not draw such

With their showing last year
and their possibilities this year
with a large number of the
Giant Killers back it would
seem that the team will draw
big crowds. OSU should be
ranked among the top teams at
the start of the season, and
whether they show by their
performance that they merit
this continued rating will have
to be seen.
Maybe they should do like
the weather forecasters do now.
Instead of saying, "50 chance
of rain tomorrow," the Beavers
might say, "50 chance of a
national championship," or "75
chance of a Rose Bowl bid."

KIPLING SAID. "East is East
and West is West and never
the twain shall meet . . "In
the field of music today, per
haps adults are east and teen
aeers are west for they surely
don't seem to appreciate the
musical tastes of the other.
This comes to llcht again
with the criticism heard from
some youngsters about the west
ern music at one or two of the
rodeo dances, we nasten to in-
frm thn bl,la thnt most of the
upcoming music is of the raz-
mataz variety (tor want oi a
better name!) that mey wui
enjoy.
Adults can't dance to this;
and the kids can't dance to
western or ballroom music.
So it doesn't seem that the
'twain" will meet at the danc
es any more.
Rut then le A rase for the
adults anrl there Is somethins
to be said for the "old fashion
ed" music. Lions clubbers are
going to bring back some of the
nltflma nnutnldn at thnlr R(1V
Social at lone Saturday night
when ballroom ana square aan
clng will follow.
RiimAmhor thnce tirtv socials
where the gals so gaily decor
ated tne luncn coxes r iney
wpra nn, the real MeCov for
a first rate time on a Saturday
night.
Mavbe kids today think that
square dancing is strictly for
squares. But when their joints
get stiff so that they no longer
can shimmy and shake, maybe
they will get back to it.
Or maybe some day. they will
"discover" square dancing and
ball room dancing old style.
Then that will be the rage
again.
But we aren't holding our
breath. Probably running boards
will be back on cars before that
happens.
