Steve Warren, a tall hand,
some young man back from 27
months In South America ad
mlU he'a having some adjust
ing to do. Ills two shock were
serins the men In uniforms
wearing beards and long hair
ruts and the length of the girls'
skirts. They were wearing them
much shorter In Venezuela and
Colombia where he has been
on a Mission for the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
He was In six different cities;
the two largest were Bogota In
Colombia with 3 million and
Caracas, Venezuela with a pop
ulatlon of 2 million. The sizes
of which call for more adjust
ment to the size of Hcppncr. He
paid for his board and room
with local families each place
he stayed. Differences in prices
are unbelievable. Pop is 3c in
American money, movies and
haircuts 30c, gasoline Is 15c a
gallon. However, there is a ter
rific tax on imported cars. Cars
that sell for $3000 here sell for
$7000 there.
More and more American
' products are appearing in the
.stores. They are produced in
the country itself and are much
cheaper than the American ver
sion. There are such brand
names as Gillette, Pepsi Cola,
VO-5, Colgate. These firms pro
vide local employment.
There are many thieves in
the big cities. Steve knows on
several occasions when attempts
were made to pick his pockets.
He foels he was fortunate not

at the Bull Fights, they shoot
off lots of fire works. He at
tended his first Bull Fight Just
a few days before he left. There
are many local bull fights but
tnis one was a traveling bull
fighter from Spain. He received
$19,000 for killing the two bulls.
There was a tense moment
when the bull caught the fight
er's cape in his horns and drag
ged rum down on the ground
He gored his leg and the bull
fighter was carried from the
arena. However, he returned un
der hts own power and killed
the bull, much to the delleht
of the spectators. After the bull
is killed, the meat Is sold out
side the arena. The bulls bred
specially for bull fighting, cost
2!i thousand dollars each.
Steve came home with a few
souvenirs, a machete, some
paintings, some leather work.
He saw lots of coppersmiths at
work. Many gold artifacts In
museums are a testimony to
the skills of by-gone genera

Learning the Language
Before leaving for his Mission,
Steve took a crash course In
Spanish. At first the language
proved a barrier but not for
long. He Is anxious to talk with
his brother, Mike, student at
BYU, who says he can still re
member his Spanish from his
Mission in Mexico. Mike re
turned about 3 months before
Steve left. This is a program
practiced by the Church of

his two years while attending
Rick College at Rexburg, Idaho
and his 2 year Mission. He is
excited at entering BYU for the
second semester early In Febru
ary. He is interested in Politi
cal Science and also mass med
ia. He wrote an article in Span
ish on a general church activ
ity that was published in one
of the papers. He also did some
printing in the mission office

Mustangs Dumped in
Non-League Meeting
By DALLAS HARSIN
A 35-point fourth quarter for
the Wahtonka Eagles dropped
the hopes of the Heppner Mus
tangs.
At the end of the first quar
ter, tne score was all tied up
and after that it was Wahtonka
all the way. When the final
horn sounded, Heppner was
down by 25 points, 68-93.
The Mustangs shot 50 per cent
from the field but just didn't
put up enough shots. Heppner
also shot 50 per cent from the
gift line, but Wahtonka still
shot better.
La Verne Van Marter led the
scoring again with 27, followed
by Sam Bellamy with 12.
Logan led the Eagles with 19,
followed by Griffin with 15.
Wahtonka also had four other
Eagles in double figures.
When talking with JV Coach
Ed Hiemstra, he wasn't too
happy as they also lost 53-41.
While talking to one of his play
ers, Coach Hiemstra said "most
of the team doesn't care if they
win or lose" and this is prob
ably the reason for the two
quick losses.
The JVs have only made 86
for 368 at the gift line for 23
per cent this year.

Bench Chatter
If KEVIN DICK ;
Coach Clough has been try
ing to find a more balanced
scoring attack. Friday night he
found no such combination. The
second high scorer had eight
points that's not enough.
Saturday, three scorers were
In double figures. Gary Watklns
came off the bench late In the
first period and sparked to 22
big points. As usual. Van Mar
ter led with 23 but Kemp should
be up there too. He works hard
on rebounds and gets a lot more
than anyone else on the squad.
He should come back up and
dumD it in.
Steve could really '' help the
scoring power of the team with
a few more points a game.
Watkins, who was cold Friday
night with Condon and missed
some critical foul shots along
with the rest of the team, didn't
start at Umatilla. When he
went into the game (late In
the first quarter) he knew what
he was there for. Gary dumped
22 onto the board in the remain
ing 3 periods.
Sherman County will host the
Mustangs Friday, Jan. 22 and
the Horsemen will entertain
Stnnfleld here Jan. 23. Heppner
