move the town it can be assured
that they will have done their

Boys in County
Invited to Play
In Little League
Theories are worthless until
they are harnessed to industry.
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.

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.
Drive through any of the val
leys in the summer when the
