Coach Larry Dowen's diamond squad had to come from be hind to pull the game out of the fire. Behind 5-1, which was due chiefly to errors on the Mustang's part and blopping hits by the Falcons, the blue and gold team bunched two hits in the third frame to collect three runs to tie the game. Fossil started the contest with a big bat to collect all their runs in the first two inninges whereas the Mustangs spread their scores throughout the tilt.

Heppner Student's Editorial Receives National Honors "Let Us Giv3 Thanks,"- a Thanksgiving editorial written by James Monahan for the Hepp ner High School Hehisch, received honorable mention in the Na tional Quill and Scroll editorial contest. Fifteen editorials placed as winners with a number of honorable mentions. James was the only Oregon student placing in the contest. His editorial follows: "Autumn in America brings colorful foil age, the termination of harvest, and a day of thanksgiving cre ated by an American. Reaching back into the annals of time nearly 200 years ago when Washington first declared a day to be set aside as a day of prayer, reverence and thanks to our beneficient Fathers, we find that America's interpreta tional value of this holiday have not changed from the original concept. An American, whoever and whereever he may be, "should bow his head humbly and give thanks for the blessings be stowed upon him by Him. He should give thanks for the insurance of freedom, his home land, and his heritage. The American should view his country; the small town, Amer ica's trademark; and bow his head as he takes into considera tion the deeds of the great men of his great American heritage. Let the modern day American give thanks for all of these then, he may carve his turkey."
