Riverside, Heppner
Split Ragged Games
In a home-and-home baseball
series Friday and Saturday Hepp
ner and Riverside High baseball
teams scored a total of 54 runs,
the scores sounding; more like
football than baseball.
The Mustangs belted Riverside
at Heppner Friday afternoon, 18
to 8, but fell apart at Boardmun
Saturday afternoon and lost, 16
to 12. In the second game the
Heppner diamondmen had an
8-3 lead going Into the fourth
inning but made a horrendous
total of 13 bobbles in the game
In the second game the Hepp
ner batters got wood on the ball
in 31 of 33 times at the plate,
but their fielding play proved
their undoing tn though they
outhit the losen, 13 to 6.
At home Friday, the Mustangs
ran up a 13-0 ic rt through the
Wrd before Riverside came to
life. Ken Smitn and Fred Ham
fen shared mound c'uties, the
latter coming on in the fifth, and
they held the visitors to three
bingles while Heppner batters
had 10 safeties, the best blow
being a triple by Catcher Dick
Springer. Springer also had a
double and Bill Cox, too, con
nected for a double. Stuart Dick
was 3 for 5 for the afternoon,
getting all singles.
John Partlow smac k e d a
double for Riverside in the fifth
as he got their first safe hit.
In the Saturday game Shan
Applegate connected with three
hits on four trins. Dnn MnnUiirs
got two for three, Doug Dubuque
three for five, and Springer two
for four. Dubuque's day at bat
included a triple in the seventh
and Munkers poled a double in
the sixth.
However, Riverside got the
best hit of the day, a home run
by Thompson in the second in
ning. Coach Pete Glennie of the
Mustangs credited Harnden and
Smith with a good game in the
Saturday meeting but the two
moundsmen had butterfingered
support in the field. Harnden
opened the game and Smith took
over in the fourth.
Next contest for the Mustangs
will be a game with Milton
Freewater on the Heppner dia
mond Tuesday, starting at 3:30.
The Mustangs may be without
the services of two of their start
ers. Applegate, shortstop, and
Munkers, third baseman, sus
tained sprained ankles and may
not be ready to go.
In three games, Coach Glennie
has five .400 hitters. Springer
and Applegate lead with a fast
.444 clip, each on four hits in
nine trips. Munkers and Harn
den each have three for seven
for .429, and Dick has five hits
in 12 times at bat for .417.

Boosts 'Mai! Day'
To Spur Tourism
Just 24 tourists a day in Hepp
ner would produce revenue eaual
to an annual Industry payroll
of $100,000 according to Dale
Slusher, local Pacific Northwest
Bell manager.
To increase this golden flow
of tourist egg money in the en
tire state, April 16 has been des
ignated as "Oregon-Welcome-by-Mail-Day"
by Governor Mark
Hatfield.
Oregonians have been invited
to become active participants in
promoting this $200 million a
year tourist industry by address
ing and mailing letters on April
16 to friends, business assoc
iates and relatives extolling the
state as a vacationland.
In support of State programs
promoting tourism, Pacific
Northwest Bell has prepared and
printed a "come-to-Oregon" let
ter which needs just a signa
ture to be ready for mailing.
Copies will be available free of
charge at the nearest PNB busi
ness office.
Tourism is more susceptible to
development than almost any
other industry in Oregon, PNB's
manager said. He pointed out
that Oregon can sell its greatest
product scenic attractions over
and over again.

After spending their first win
ter in the northlands of Anch
orage, Alaska, Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Bedford and family have observ
ed some interesting experiences,
as related in a recent letter to
Bedford's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Bedford, Heppner.
Bill, oldest son of the Jack
Bedford's, has been employed as
a Geologist for the Texaco Oil
Company for the past year, with
headquarters in Anchorage. His
business travel to oil fields
around the state is almost en
tirely by plane or helicopter. Mrs.
Bedford, a former English teach
er, does substitute work in the
schools. Their three children,
Julie, 9; Jill, 8, and Jack, 5,
find life in the north country ex
citing and full of interest in
learning the winter sports.
One of the Alaskan holidays
in early spring is the "Fur Ren
dezvous" interestingly described
in letters from Mrs. Bedford and
daughter Julie. She writes, "Ren
dezvous is but a wonderful ling
ering memory now. Bill and I
took the kids down last Friday,
holiday for all, and saw our first
dog race. There were as many
as 16 dogs in several of the
teams, 12 seeming to be the
most popular number. The
musher's foot gear ranged from
Knee-length mukluks to tennis
shoes. We also watched the fur
auctions. I'm sure that everyone
in all Alaska must have been
downtown, the crowd was hor
rible. I loved the wolf and white
fox furs, and was interested in
the Cross Fox. The blanket toss
was a big let-down, nothing
authentic about it except for the
"blanket," as they used men out
of the crowd to hold it and just
had various spectators try it.
Saturday some woman or girl
broke her ankle the secret to it
is the way the men holding the
DianKet an work together and
you can imagine how volunteers
don't know what to do.
She continues. "We went tn
the Eskimo and Indian dances.
The Chilkat Indians are south
eastern and their costumes and
gear amounted to about 14
thousand dollars. Their dances
all depicted stories. The second
half of the show was Eskimo
dancers from Gambell, on the
furthermost tip of St. Lawrence
Island, only a few miles from
Siberia. Some of these people
have never been off the Island
before and were really intrigued
by the neon lights." Other sights
of interest have been the Alas
kan art exhibits, viewing walrus
skin houses and watching auth
entic 25-mile dog races out on
the trail. Winner of the last race
was a local dentist who held
the sweepstakes ticket worth
$5,000, according to Mrs. Bedford.
The Bedfords expect to spend
at least one more year in Alaska.
It is the hope of the Jack Bed
fords that they will be able to
visit with them there before the
family returns to the states.

Dahill said that he will make
