PROBABLY ONE of the high
points of spring activity is
the annual Band Carnival. Be
sides being loads of fun for the
whole family, it provides funds
for the bands of Heppner schools
to buy uniforms and send de
serving students to summer
school. Even though the date
had to be changed twice, the
committee is looking forward to
a large turnout. I think the
"dunk-tank" draws the most
popularity. Where else can you
drown your enemies and get
away with it! ! Popular spots
for the wee ones are the fish
ponds. So take the family out
for fun, food, and entertain
ment. ooo
MIKE SMITH, 13-year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Smith,
got a real surprise of his life
with a birthday party Friday
night when seven boys showed
up to help him celebrate!
Mother . Lenna cooked this all
up during the week, and parents
cooperated by not telling their
sons until Friday night. Guess
we didn't think they could keep
a secret? ? His guests were Cal
vin Ashbeck, Larry Pettyjohn,
Kevan and Kent Pratt, Vernon
and Gary Frederickson, and
Terry Prock. After games, cake
and ice cream, the fellows went
to the movie.
ooo
BEBE MUNKERS entertained the
Hamlin, Wavel Wilkinson, and
Gladys Connor, was on the los
ing team.
HANNAH ANDERSON had the
Friday Afternoon Pinoch 1 e
club at her home last week and
also won low. Is that winning?
Yes, I think so, because I al
ways end up in middle! Carrie
Beckett had an exciting moment
as she melded 1500 trump and
the 300 pinochle in the same
hand! And to top it, she had
her first 1500 trump, and I'm
sure she has played a day or
two of pinochle! Doris Watkins
was her helping partner at the
time. Gladys Beckett and Pearl
Wright won the pinochle. Also
in on the play were Mary Harris,
Beulah Mankin, and Millie
Evans. Speaking of Millie, I see
she has joined the working girl
ranks and someone asked her
how she could play cards on
Fridays. You guessed it, that's
her day off!
ooo
THE CONLEY Lanhams enter
tained at the LaVerne Van
Marter home Saturday night
with a potluck dinner and dup
licate bridge play. Other guests
were the Bill Collins, Jim Dris
colls, Bill Blakes, and Gerald
Jonassons. Bobbe Driscoll won
high and LaVerne won second.
I hope my memory is correct
since I have L. Van Marter on
my notes and that could be
.wife, Laurel
Duplicate Bridge club at her
home Friday night with Mary
McLeod and Mildred Davidson
winning high. I thought I heard
Mary say she didn't know how
to play duplicate? It seems as
though she won last time. Ah
ha beginners' luck! June Bell-
enbrock and hlsie Cole were sec
ond hiKh. Also playing were
Kay Robinson, Lillian Sweek,
Gena Leonard, Lorine Ledbet
ter, Lucia Cutsforth, Gwen
Ilealy, and Eileen Padberg.
ooo
MARLYS PHEGLEY won high
Tuesday night at Pinochle
club at the home of Lillian Key.
Sherrie McDaniel won second;
Bobbie Angell, pinochle, and
Judy Buschke, the door prize.
Others playing were Jeanne
Berry, Flo Connor, and Mary Lov
gren. Guess that old pinochle
traveled some, about six times,
before Bobbie caught up with
it.
0 0 0
MARY McCLliRE entertained
last Tuesday the Bridge Bid
dies with two tables in play.
Janina Johnson won high and
LaFyrne Pratt walked off with
the second high and the trav
eling Jack high prizes! Mary
McLeod, Mary Jean MoCabe, Jan
Agee, Dorothy O'Rourke, and
Sue Jones were In on the play.
ooo
DESPITE THE lovely snow in
late April, the attendance at
the benefit dance in Hardman
for Dean Lovgien was great and
from all reports everyone en
joyed the dance. Might ask why
the wet feet, guess the snow was
rather misleading as many
thought it was packed only to
sink into water puddles over the
shoe tops! That's one way to
keep them dancing, drying out
their feet!
ooo
GRACE NICKERSON, Ruth Mc
Murdo, Etta Parker, and Mae
Gilliam were on the winners'
tear. at the conclusion of the
duplicate bridge play Thursday
evening. Sadie Parrish entertain
ed the club and with Hazel
ooo
JUDY BUSCHKE, Lillian Key,
Jeanne Berry, and Mary Lov
gren went to Pendleton Friday
night to see the Pendleton Play
house play, "Bell, Book, and
Candle." It was a play on witch
craft and they all enjoyed it.
For some reason, I had in mind
it was a mystery story.
ooo
CHERYL EDWARDS entertained
guests at her home Saturday
evening on her 12th birthday.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Bill Edwards. Her guests
were Kathy and Karen maxe,
Diane Nemi, Theresa Harsh
man, Verla Ilerschell, Kent and
Kevan Pratt, Lee Payne, Mike
Smith, Verna Fredrickson and
Larry Pettyjohn. They enjoyed
games and dancing with birth
day cake, ice cream and punch
to finish the evening.
ooo
SPEAKING OF birthdays, little
six-year-old Judy Healy,
daughter of the Jack Hcalys,
celebrated (?) her birthday
Monday in bed with the measles!
Some fun, huh?
ooo
THE ELKS sponsored a dancing
party for all high school stu
dents in the county and it was
Friday with the Soroptimists
furnishing the refreshments.
This Friday they will sponsor
a party for the junior nign stu
dents. Students always look for
ward to the parties. They have
a very good time and It Is also
a dress-up time for them. Par
ents hardly know their own
kids! A hearty "thank-you" to
the Elks for this annual event.
ooo
LOTA T1BBLES won high last
week at the What's Trump
bridge net-tonether at the home
of Gena Leonard. Doris Watkins
won second and Hazel Mahoney
had low. Also playing were
Happy Graham, Helen Schaffitz,
Virginia Rosewall, Lucille Wil

Blake, Madge Thomson, and
Helen Cohn. Oh, yes, also Dee

AT LAST IT'S spring at the pro
duce counters! California
strawberries are showing up and
field grown rhubarb for those
delicious custard rhubarb pies!
That's an idea since I must
make two pies for the Band
Carnival supper, although they
can't be custard but just good
rhubarb! Remember apples this
time of year are from controlled
storage so store them in the re
frigerator and use them soon
after buying. Perk up those
dreary meals with tossed green
salads with leafy green lettuce,
green onions, celery, radishes,
and carrots now on the market.
Shoppers, looking for meat sug
gestions, will find them among
the specials on either beef or
pork cuts in the markets. Good
eating!

Service of Library
Told Soroptimists
By City Librarian
"The good increase in circ
ulation of books in the City
Library during the past year has
been very encouraging," City
Librarian Blanche Brown told
members and guests of the
Heppner Soroptimist club at its
luncheon meeting last Thursday
noon.
According to records, 7,307
books were checked out during
the year, averaging 17 per day,
and only in one month did total
circulation fall below 600. Ad
dition of 236 books have been
placed on shelves during the
year, and the library now boasts
a good department of reference
books, current magazines, and a
good collection of books on Ore
gon history.
Mrs. Brown is trying to en
large the collection of books
containing history of Morrow
county, and would appreciate
any contributions people here
might have. She expressed ap
preciation for funds and books
donated by organizations and
individuals and told briefly of
new books available to the pub
lic. Other guests of the club were
two senior girls, Ginger Springer
and Leann Joynes.
A report on the recent food
sale was given by Mrs. Fred
Parrish and Mrs. Etta Parker,
and expressed their appreciat
ion of cooperation of members.
Plans were made for the serving
of refreshments at the youth
parties sponsored by the Elks
Lodge on April 19 and 26.
Mrs. Dixon Called

Los Angeles hospital.
Mrs. Dixon left Saturday by
bus for Los Angeles to join other
members of the family there,
and will return later this week.
Memorial services were held
Mo nday.
BOWLING BITS
By JO PETTYJOHN
WELL, THE hard part is over
for four of the six teams who
bowl in leagues at Echo from
this area! But still a tough road
ahead for the HeDDner Elks
team who will bowl off for the
league leadership against the
Hi -Ho team. They will meet
Monday, April 29, 7:00 p.m., at
Echo. The Padberg Machinery
gals will tangle with their op
ponents, Eagle Valley Ranchers,
Wednesday for the top spot. Tro
phies and prize money will be
awarded during the annual
bowling banquet held in Pendle
ton at the Country Club May
4.
ooo
LAST WEDNESDAY Padbe r g
won the second half of play
by splitting with Sheets Cloth
ing, 2 and 2. And with the help
of MCGG, who were bowling in
the next lanes, as they split
with second place Burns. The
Padberg team was led by Von
nie Lovgren with a 183 game
and 499 series. MCGG squeaked
by the Burns team and won the
third game by only three pins!
June Bellenbrock led the team
with a 149 game and 412 series.
Turner, Van Marter and Bryant
took the first game from Eagle
Valley and then Eagle Valley
shut them out the rest of the
night. Vesta Kilkenny topped
the Turner team with a 178
game and 439 series. Speaking
of her 178, it seems a case of
Coke was dashing in front of
her eyes and with only one pin
and one ball to throw! ! What
happened?
No more Monday night and
Wednesday night bowling until
next year and here's hoping it
is in Heppner when league play
starts next fall! !
ooo
THE MEN'S teams entered a
tournament in Echo Monday
night with Hi-Ho leading the
pack and ' Lexington Oil Co-op
in second. Dean Hunt had high
game and series for the Co-op
with 205 and 553. Bi-County was
led by Bob Kilkenny with a
189 and 534 series. The Elks
are shouting too loud, guess
they are saving their energy for
the playoffs! The only thing
they let out was Gene Orwick
had the high series of 483.
ooo
HAVEN'T HAD too much on
Junior league bowling as only
one from here is bowling on a
team and he is Chris Lovgren
son of Bob and Vonnie Lovgren.
He bowls on a 3-man team with
two girls as teammates. They
won the first half of play and
bowled off with the second half
winner Sunday to win the league
top spot. Good Work!
