Five yeaw ago In the aummer of im, aeveral Interprlslng and Interested parent and friend In lleppner organized baseball play for young boya letween the agea of 8 and 12, thus beginning the Little League organization. For the first summer, no uni forms were used, other than names painted on white tee shirts. The youngsters from Heppner and Lexington, were di vided Into four team and play ed one another throughout the summer. The following spring, four sjKjnsors were obtained, which made It possible to purchase complete uniforms, a league was organized and an application was made to the national Little League organization. The boys eligible for Little League play, between the ages of 9 through 12, before August 1 of the play ing summer, were given tryouts and their names drawn by the three coaches In Heppner with the Lexington boys having one team and coach. The next spring In 1959, the four teams, Braves, sponsored by the B.P.O.E. 358; Dodgers, I.O.O.F.; Giants, Heppner Pine Mills; and the Indians, Morrow County Grain Growers, were full fledged members of the Willow Creek Little League complete with a charter, officers, and a board of directors. Since then, the teams play an 18 game scneauie wnicn is divided into 9-cama halves. At the end of the season, the out standing 11 and -12 -year -old bovs are selected on the All-star team which enters area playoffs n Pendleton the latter part of J"iy- In the summer ol liMi, iirsr. half of play was won by tne Braves. The season began in May with tryouts for the eligible players and then a selection from these boys were made by the three Heppner coaches to nil thoir souads to tne is man minta. The Indian team Is now comprised of Lexington and lone boys and they too have tryouts and a chance for the team as every year the teams lose the 12-year-olds as too old for the next summer's play. For the boys between 8 and 12 who do not make a Little League team, there are farm and Pee-wee teams organizea lor practice and inter-squad games during the summer. Anyone interested in the Little League program, whether as a helper or prospective player, may contact President Laverne van Marter In Heppner for more in formation on this local organi zation which helps to teach the boys sportsmanship and sports. ta!t-r f.r irrigation U vIUMe Tin? ineredtiiij puUrl(y of thU t!itfU't ftfrxie I hwn by the fact that on half of the land levelieg ha.

Nearly all the farmer who have completed a land leveling project are continuing with a' land leveling program. Parrel Padberg, Ixwis Halvorsen, Thll ' Emert, and Delbert Emert have leveled land In borders for a j more efficient system of Irrlga- tion. Herbert Ekstrom and Paul Webb leveled with the bench ter-1 race method to irrigate land with ! steep side slopes. William Tad-1 berg leveled 70 acres of dryland ; pasture. By using the close-spae-: ed ditch method of controlled flooding, he has changed this pasture to a high producing unit using spring water for irrigation. All irrigated lands on the John Hanna, Dallas Craber, Jasper Myers, and Gary Tullis ranches have been leveled. Several other farmers have nearly completed their land leveling.
