The Elks annual Free
Throw Contest will be held
Saturday, Dec. IS, at Heppner
and lone High Schools, I a.m.
to noon.
This year brings several
changes In the free throw
basketball contest. There will
be three age groups, ages 8 to
9, 10 to U and 12 to 13. This
year girls are also eligible for
competition In the same age
groups.
The competition will be
under the direction of Jerry
Martin, grade school basket
ball coach at lone, and Gint
Agee, Heppner grade school
coach.
Boys will compete against
boys, and girls against girls.
One winner in each age group
( for the boys) will go to the
district competition in Jan
uary. Regional finals, will be
held in LaGrande, and na
tional finals in Kansas City,
Mo., March 1, W4. The"
status of the girls Is undeter
mined beyond the local lodge
level because this is the first
year girls have been eligible,
and the machinery to ac
commodate them has not been
perfected, according to Agee.
To enter the contest, all that
' is needed is for the girl or boy
to show up at one of the two
high schools during the morn
ing hours of Dec. 15. Fifty
throws from the free throw
line on a standard basketball
court will be made by each
contestant. The winner will be
determined solely on the basis
of the number of goals made;
and in the case of a tie, the
winner will be the one who
gets the best score with an
additional 10 throws.
Last year's local winner was
Carl Christman of Hardman.
For further information,
call Coaches Agee or Martin.
Ilrppner's varsity and junior varsity basketball team
elected one girl to represent each class and from them
selected Judy Bennett as "Miss Merry Christmas."
Other girls selected to the court are Sally Matheny,
Cheryle Turner and Judy Ilealy. Pictured above is

What with the energy short
age one would think that
government would encourage
people to cut and burn their
own wood, right?
Wrong.
Government is going to give
you a ticket if you use a pickup
. this winter to haul your own
wood, according to the Oregon
Motor Vehicles Division.
Pickups used for non-com-merical
purposes are licensed
in Oregon as passenger ve
hicles and cannot exceed 6,000
pounds in combined weight of
the unit and load.
Owners who want to use
their pickups to haul wood can
avoid the risk of a ticket for no
truck license is the load of
wood brings the weight over
6,000 pounds by obtaining a
trip permit from the Motor
Vehicles Division that will
allow them to exceed the
weight limit, or by licensing
the unit as a truck.
For most people, who plan
to haul a few loads of wood
over a weekend, the division
says a trip permit would be
more practical. The trip
permit costs $5 and is valid for
five days. The fee, the division
pointed out, is about five times
cheaper than a ticket for not
having a truck license.

Announcing
a brand-new
2-year
enlistment
idea.
If 3 or 4 years in the service
is more than you can afford
to give right now, consider
the Army's new 2-year
enlistment idea.
It's an idea with a choice.
You can choose job-training
from a wide range of
job-training courses. And if
you qualify, we'll guaran
tee that training in writing
before you enlist.
Or vou can choose to
serve with us in Europe.
Either way. you get the
same total beneliis pack
age as with a longer enlist
ment.
Including a new starting
salary of 1326.10 a month
with a raise to S363.30 in
just four months.

Is vlie Energy Crisis Eloal?
There are still some doubters - particularly environment
al protectors - who yet ask "Is the energy crisis real?"
They have been asking this same question for the past
few years and creating doubt and energy supply prob
lems. Isn't it about time to ignore the doubters? Shouldn't we
take time to voice our opinions to our Legislators?
How about supporting BPA in plans to lighten the ap
propriation process by authorization of "BPA Revenue
Bonds"?
Although the geothermal generation projects will likely
be small compared to our resource needs, don't we
need research and greater federal funding of geotherm
al development for our area?
If the "Nixon" administration is concerned about short
ening the time required to get a nuclear project on
the line from a present 12 year period to a proposed 6
year period - aren't recent AEC restrictions off just 180
degrees? v
Do we need to speed up present hydro projects
rather than to allow them to be delayed or impounded
by the OMB?
Are we needing to develop more hydro projects?
Certainly you should be aware of the short resource sit
uation in the N.W. in view of the effect of recent critical
water levels. "YOU" can be responsible for helping our
future power supply needs. Your legislators need to know
how you feel about it.
