Our Best Wishes for the "Battle of Morrow County" We doubt that by the time this gets into print there will be anybody left in this section of Mor row county to read it they'll all be watching their respective basketball teams perform at Salem but we extend our congratulations to be team members and the coaches of both lone and Hepp ner high schools for a really hang up job of show ing the rest of the state how basketball should be plaved. To say the least, it is most unusual for two teams from the same county to have the np oppotlunily to play in the sla'e tournament, but it has happened this year. To them both, we wish the best of luck. This newspaper normally doesn't do much editorial fence-straddling, but this is one time we're coin:' to stay in Hie middle we value our present friendships in both lone and Heppner and we can't think of a quicker way to lose them than to pick one side or the other for a pat on the back. We hereby pat 'em both and extend our hopes that when it comes down to the final game next Satur day nit?!.

One thing we can be thankful for anyway, is that basketball games can't end in a tie. If our two county teams should wind up in the finals, one of them is going lo be the winner. If it could and should happen to end in a tie, the people of Hepp ner and lone never would stop arguing which team was the best. Apain we sav.
