Heppner Tops All-Conference Team Selections By PAT KILKENNY All-conference selections Tor the Greater Oregon's western division tapped eight Heppner High gridiron stars for first team honors, and three more for hon orable mention. Coaches from the five teams In the western half of the foot ball league met in Boardman on November 17. During the meet ing they namd two all-star squads, one for offense and one for defense. Three of Coach Ed Heimstra"s squad were tabbed on both units. John MeCabe was named half back on each squad, and I ee Huson and Matt Murray, stand out Mustang-11 ends, grabbed spots on both teams. All thre gridders are seniors. John Hall was picked as first team halfback on defense and for honorable mention on of fense. Receiving all-star first team positions also were Tom Cuts forth, a sophomore Mustang center; Dave Wright, senior de fensive tackle; and the Mar quardt brothrs, Rick and his de fensive play as tackle, and Bruce for his offensive guard ex hibition. Mustangs receiving honorable mention besides Hall were Dean Wright, who was chosen on both units, as a safety and as a halfback; Rory Stillman, middle linebacker, and Bruce Marquardt, a cornerback. Stillman and Wright are soph omores and Bruce Marquardt is a junior. Heppner's team nabbed more positions than any other school in the league. The Mustangs missed the western division crown by a narrow margin, los ing only to Sherman County High, by four points. Heppner's season record of 7 wins, one loss, included a win over the district champion, Grant Union, at John Day in mid-season.

Rob Abrams and Dallas Har sin will be the managers for the varsity and JV squads. The Wheat Growers all-day session last Wednesday at St Patrick's Parish hall covered many areas of concern. The group heard seven com mittee chairmen present ideas and suggestions for their panic ular committee that had come from the StUe Workshop. The members here then discussed the presentation and made addition at suggestions to be discussed further at the State meeting Dec. 1-2-3 at the Sheraton Hotel in Portland, They discussed a multitude of subjects which will come up at the state meeting: the national farm program, the proposed 61 rate increase asked by the rail roads and now being considered by the Public Utilities Commis sion which they oppose, the dis crepancy in freight rates be tween the midwest to the west as compared with north -south to California. The group agreed to buy gas oline exclusively from the first oil company which would use the ethyl alcohol made from cereal grains instead of tetra ethyl lead in their product. Officers elected were Jack Sumner, president; Ralph Crum, vice president, and Harold Kerr, secretary. Ethyl alcohol made from wheat are electrifying and ex citing words. Frank Adams, guest luncheon speaker at the Morrow County Association of the Oregon Wheat League meet ing Nov. 12 at Heppner filled his audience with enthusiasm and knowledge. Mr. Adams, manager and vice president of Interior Elevator Co. Inc. at The Dalles is also In charge of re search. He reviewed how tetraethyl lead became the additive to gas oline. He said 97 of the gas oline in the United States con tain this deadly poison. At first it was added with certain restric tions. Then during the war it was discovered that high vol umes of tetraethyl lead could be added to low grade gas to give it high burning qualities. After the war they never took it out. Tetraethyl lead Is the ad ditive in gasoline which creates air pollution. The lead is forced out into the atmosphere in the exhaust of cars. It is taken in to the body through the lungs, ficial for city and county. Looks PotilbU From a bushel of cereal grain comes 24 to 2si gallons of ethyl alcohol. An important by product is a protein residue (called wet slop) which is ex cellent cattle and hog feed. He said 83 billion gallons of fuel were consumed in the U.S, last year. If lO'- of that were replaced by a 10 blend of ethyl alcohol. It would require 3.2 billion bushels of cereal grain. He said "It would remove all subsidies, farmers could farm to the fence lines. It would require all surplus grains being used In the production of alcohol." Ethyl alcohol can also be made from natural gas. Fuel companies could produce ethyl alcohol. This would require a change In the cracking process and reconstruction of all oil re fineries. Legislation Required Legislation would be required to replace tetraethyl lead In gasoline with 10 blend of ethyl alcohol made from Cereal grains. Research Is being conducted for a dry process to extract pro tein before the grain goes into the stills. The residue from the wet process If dried immediate ly is 80 protein with the starch being washed from the wheat. There is a good market for this product. It is this pro tein that is added to hot dog and hamburger buns to give) tnem more firmness than bread. It is also used as a food sup plement. Mr. Adams said "such a plant can be built." He told how in The Dalles for the last 30 days a blend of wa ter and ethyl alcohol made from wheat had been injected in the carburetor of cars using regular gas. "The results were fantastic."
