Baseball Season
Ends Here With
Heppner Victory
Arlington Taken
By Surprise In
Sunday's Battle
In spile of a mix-up In scoring,
Heppner was the undisputed win
ner of its last game of the Wheat
Timber league baseball season,
when Manager Harlan McCurdy
led the Heppner nine to a 9-8 up
set over Arlington Sunday after
noon. Heppner gained Its second vic
tory of the season by defeating
Arlington. On May 15 Heppner
beat lone 7 to 4. Other games
with Arlington and lone resulted
in losses with scores of 17 to 8
and 11 to 3, respectively.
Trailing badly in Sunday's
game, Heppner broke loose in the
seventh inning to score six times
and even up the official count at
8 all. Two-base hits by Sanders
and Peterson helped bring in the
flurry of seventh-inning runs.
Sanders, Bergstrom, McCurdy,
Massey, Manners and Burnstad
scored in the seventh.
With two down, and the count
at two and two, Bergstrom singl
ed in the last of the ninth to
bring In McCurdy with Heppner's
winning run. Arlington did not
score after the sixth Inning.
In the ninth inning an argu
ment developed between the offi
cial scorekeepers as to whether
Arlington had scored seven times
tr eight. A 15-minute discussion
ended In agreement on the 8 to 8
score, and Heppner went to bat
to round out the inning and win
the game.

Parking Meters, Popular Or
Not, Add To City's Receipts
Collections from Heppner's new
parking meters have totaled $355
to date. The first collection net
ted $117.50; the second brought
in $111, and the third, $126.50.
For the 100 melers In operation,
this is an average income of 74
cents per meter each week, or
about 12 cents per meter each
day.
Meier collections are made
each Monday by Day Policeman
Charles Gomilion. The coins are
turned over to La Verne Van Mar

Lack Of Moisture
Due to Be Felt in
Next Year's Crops
Precpitation in the Gooseberry
area, where Leonard Carlson
keeps the record, has returned to
a normal status, according 10
figures brought to this office
Tuesday. Carlson has just made
out a report for the 12-month per
iod from July 1, 1948 to June 28,
1949 and found that the total pre
cipitation was 12.70 inches. This
I is practically the average prior to
1942.
Rain would not be unwelcome
right now, although it would be
of little benefit to the crops.
Harvest is but a matter of days
removed at this time and the best
a rain could do would be to set
tle the dust.
Farmers are a bit apprehensive
about the situation in 1950 if the
present drouth condition prevails
throughout the year. The 1949
crops have come on largely be
cause of holdover moislure from
1913 but that moisture is being
used up this year and there will
have to be a new supply if next
year's crops are to come any
where near normal production.
Taken by months the report
shows the following results: July
1.5S; August. .76; September, 1.36;
October, .62; November, 1.08; De
cember, 1.99; January, .37; Feb

ventable, Tha solution to the whole
forest fire problem, they reasoned, was
education. -
The problem required more thin I
"Don't do that" approach. It requires
endless education on a personal level to
effectively show the ordinary men and
women of America what forest fires
mean in terms of taxes, wages, profits,
recrestion and living standards. Pre
sented in this practical, pocketbook
phraseology, forest fire prevention
makes sense and gets results. States
that have had Keep Green programs
longest have reduced forest fire losses
materially.
The Keep America Green movement
is sponsored nationally by American
Forest Products Industries, Inc., of
