Almost every morning you can find a partner to play golf with, if you don't already have one. Tuesday was a good day for the ladies and 17 turned out. Low gross was a tie between Marie and Dee with 43. Hidden hole turned out to be for least putts on number 5, and was my lucky day again. Marie won the flip on the tie so we both were happy with an award. Hazel used that same old bridge ap proach on number 5. You know, that takes more doing than you think, to hit the bridge and still have a playable lie. Guess we better carry wire snips to get Gene Case out of trouble, (hear the gals playing with her nearly Playing Tuesday were Bebe, Corkie, Marie, Kay A., Helen, Ro berta, Hazel, Gene, Hester, Joyce, Nadine, Jan.

June 27, we are invited to John Day. If you want to go, let your wishes be known so cars can be planned. It's a stinker of a golf course (it's that hard) but the hospitality can't be beaten. Since this Sunday is Easter the Bunny is putting out sur prises for those that will spend Easter at home and want to play golf about 3 o'clock. Ladies Day committee for the month consists of Corkie, Bebe and Kay Anderson. If vnn wonder who lifted the sod and planted the vines and shrubs around the screen on number 8 tee. I can tell you. It's no secret that the McQuar ries have long been one of the hardest working families in be half of the golf course. Now that the planting is done, the least we can do is throw a bucket of Willow Creek on mem tne plants, that is.

A jam-packed crowd at tended from the start at 5 p. m. until closing time late in the evening, the event adding a fit ting climax to the merchants' "Salute to Spring." The supper, served from 5 to 7, brought approximately $250, and popular concessions, num bering 18 in all, brought the balance. Winner of the movie camera, offered) as a major prize for the carnival, was Mrs. H. J. Stroeber, and Charles Ruggles won the barbecue grill. Door prizes went to Ray Mas sey, stuffed poodle dog; Mrs. Mike Whitesmith, barb e c u e utensils; and John Van Winkle, bronze clock horse. Band stu dents who received cash prizes for selling the most tickets to the carnival, all in the fifth grade, were Mona Marshall, Sherry O'Brien and Larry Petty john. Proceeds of the carnival, yet to be determined because com plete list of expenses is yet to be compiled', will go partly to the band uniform fund and the balance to pay tuition of music students to the Washington State university summer music school. Chairman Peck, very pleased with the fine success of the carn ival, asked that his thanks be expressed to all who helped. He had particular words of apprec iation for the kitchen help, who worked hard, andi to the band parents who pitched in to assist in many ways on all phases of the carnival. McClure to Visit Pomona Grange State Master Elmer McClure will be a guest at the meeting of Morrow County Pom o n a Grange at the Rhea Creek Grange hall Saturday, April 28 at 10:30 a. m.

Rather, he succeeds Don Clark as elementary principal. No successor has been chosen tor the high school post as yet. Meeting on Parks Said 'Disappointing' A meeting of the Morrow county parks commission with the state nark commission at lr- rigon last Thursday proved "dis appointing," Morrow chairman Orville Cutsforth reported to the Heppner-Morrow county Cham ber of Commerce Monday. "We were disappointed witn everything we got at the meet ing," he said. The local com mission had had hopes of getting a park developed in the Irrigon area by the state, but was in formed that there are insufficient funds available to finance the project. Cutsforth said mat mere is a 'wonderful" site at Irrigon with 30 acres of ground and sandy beach. However, it would take at least $25,000 to develop it, the local commission was In formed. No encouragement was given by the state on the Chapin creek park site, either, although Kin zua corporation would donate two-thirds of the land and1 Wal ter Wright would give the re mainder, Cutsforth said. The state said that in this case the traffic count indicated that a state park is not justified there. Sunday visitors at the Lee Scrivner home were several un- xpected relatives and friends. Coming from Hood River were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, Mrs. B. G. Smith and sons Michael nd David. Terry Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Bud Chambers. Other visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Plank of Rockport, Wn ALICE and GRACE HEPPNER and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Scrivner and boys of Heppner.
