ihere is a nation-wide trend lo
smaller lot sizes because they
are earier and less costly to

water consumption on lawns
Coolev assured the com

two basic counts, Padberg
was found guilty of reckless
driving, fined $.r05 and given a
30-day suspended sentence by
Justice of the Peace Charles
O'Connor.
Defense Attorney Donald
Morrison. Hermislnn, con
vinced the jury that a question
of reasonable doubt existed as
to the intoxication of Padberg,
when he claimed that too
much time has elasped be
tween his last drink and the
time the breatholizer test was
given. The total time elapsed
was slightly over one hour,
and Morrison contended that
the alcohol content in his
client's bloodstream would
have been greater after that
length of time.
After his arrest Oct. 8,
Padberg was given a breatho
lizer test and the result was a
0 2ii registered reading on the
machine.
According to Oregon law, a
reading of 0.15 on the breatho
lizer, in most cases, is all that
is needed to convict a person
of drunk driving.

Heppner High School Coach
Dean Naffziger had some good
news and some bad news for
listeners at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon Monday.
The bad news was that
Naffziger started the season
with only three boys with past
varsity experience and has
molded a team made up of
boys who played JV ball last
year.
During non-league play in
the Columbia Basin League
the Mustangs had a 5-1 record,
losing only to Blue Mountain
Community College frosh.
Afler losing the opener to
Condon, the Mustangs
bounced back to play a good
game against Riverside. Then
it happened. Monday and
Tuesday nighl only seven
players showed up for prac
tice. The rest of the team was
out because of illness. Two
extra players did show up for
the game with Umatilla Fri
day night.
With the weather cold and
the Umatilla team "hot;" that
was part of the bad news.
"They hit 55 per cent of their
shots from the field, and when
a team is hitting from 20 feet
oul there is very little defense
against it," he said.
Then the Mustangs lost a
close one to Sherman County
in overtime play, 84-78.
Now for the good news.
There are 12 games remaining
in the league, and "we will
have an uphill climb all the
way," Naffziger said. "We
hope lo finish close to the top
when the season ends. He
recalled thai last year the two
district berths were not de
cided unlil the last two weeks
of the season, "and we think
we have a good chance of
ending our season toward the
lop."
Next week's chamber guest
will be Joyce ISergstmm.
Morrow County tax assessor,
who will show a film dealing
with methods of tax assess
ment entitled "You've (Jot to
he Kidding." She asks that
any group wishing lo see the
film contact her al G7-942l.
