nuest land inhere there "will be

and come to this try-out. All res
idents of the area are welcome,
whether from Heppner or not, ac
cording to Gordon Pratt, PTA
chairman for the show, which is
scheduled for April 29.
. The Heppner Parent-Teacher's
Association annually raises all
funds for its many projects with
a spring entertainment. The
minstrel shows have been very
popular but PTA officials
thought a change might be wel
come and they have asked co
operation of the public in ob
taining a good program.
Pratt reported that many acts
have registered but additional
numbers are needed to make a
well-rounded show.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Doollttle
and sons. Dennis and Ronald, of
Portland, were visiting his moth
er. Mrs. Lester Doollttle, over
the Easter holidays.
