Mustang Ball Club
Opens S
W
eason
ith Close Win
By James Monahan
Heppner's baseball "nine"
made their debut In the '56 sea
son with their best foot forward
Tuesday afternoon as they dump
ed the Fossil Falcons in a close
6-5 tilt on Mustang's home field.
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.
Shortstop "Skip" Ruhl hit a
dribbler and reached first on
an infield error. He stole se
cond to set up Heppner's first
scoring play of the game as
Tibbies hit a long sacrifice fly to
bring Ruhl around for the only
Mustang score for the first in
ning. Still down by a 5-1 score at
the end of the bottom of the
second the horse's second sacker
L. Turner laced a lazy single to
right field for Heppner's first hit
of the game and then stole sec
ond base. He came home after
a bad toss to second which land
ed out in center field. Griffith
ended the second frame with a
pip fly.
HeDDner's big third panel pro
duced three runs on two hits.
Fossil missed two long flys by
Gentry and Tibbies which gave
the Mustangs two men on base.
Dougherty brought home Gen
try and then Lowell Turner hit
a long fly which was dropped to
drive in the tying runs. This con
cluded all scoring in the game
until the last of the seventh
when Ruhl walked and then he
stole second. B. Gentry hit a
smashing grass cutting single to
left field to drive home the win
nine run.
D. Connor who pitched the last
innintr was credited with the win
while John Ostrander took the
loss.
Heppner will now prepare for
their second home game of the
season with Norm Bergstrom's
Echo Cougars.

tang schedule have been made

Creamery Observes
40fh Anniversary
On April 1 of this year the
Morrow County Creamery, owned
by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Cox cele
brated its 40th birthday. It is
one of the very few independent
creameries still operating In
Eastern Oregon.
The creamery was organized by
a group of local men including
John Wightman, the late Charles
Thomson and others and offi
cially started business on April
1, 1916. Cox joined the firm on
April 16 of the same year and in
1932 bought all the outstanding
stock in the company. The firm
was originally incorporated for
$1,500.
The business opened in a
building located where the Lane
apartments now stand. Later it
moved to the corner of Main and
Center streets and in 1930 to Its
present building on Center and
Chase streets.
The creamery makes its own
ice cream and butter and has
been selling these products under
the Pride of Oregon name since
1925. The products are sold
throughout Morrow, Gilliam,
Wheeler and Grant counties.

Red Cross Total
Short of Goal
With only seven reports still to
come in, the Red Cross drive has
readied $1975.50, it is reported
this week by drive chairman
Dick Brunner.
The figure is equal to 70 per
cent of the goal of $2818 , that it
was hoped would be reached in
the county, and unless there is
an unusual donation of $600 it
appears as if the final figure will
be around $2200 or 80 percent,
Brunner said.
A special donation of $11.90
was received this week from the
lone schools which was raised
by school assembly. The list of
solicitors that have reported is
too long to name, but their .ef
forts are greatly appreciated,
Brunner said.

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."
