Apply Chevron Wood Preservative to fence posts in

tar acids more "wood saving" properties than
creosote. It has an added fungicide, too, so it protects

By PAT KILKENNY
Thi' Heppner Junior High
Ponies sl.ned on the winning
trail last week as they (leleatedi
the Condon Dcamons -1 to 2. It
was their fifth win against no
defeats.
Neither team was strong at
the plate, but the Ponies had the
edge, getting " hits against the
Dcamons -1 ihe Ponies tuts
consisted of two home runs, 1
double and 2 singles. The home
runs were off the bat of l.ee llu-
son, a twe run smasn wnicn
came in the second frame and
his first oi the season, and an
other by Pat Kilkenny in the
third frame, a solo blast and his
second of the season.
Lee Huson went 2 for 2 for the
victors. J.iy Larue went 2 for 2
for the losers, one being a home
run.
Coach Tom Hughes credit -d
the victory to some stubborn,
staunch I lay bv the Ponies.
McCabe went the distance for
Heppner, allowing 2 runs on 1
hits, walking ,'i and left 11
Dcamons swinging in the air.
The Ponie will meet Arlington
here on Saturday at 10:30 a.m.

; The Ceiil store and post office.
, owned and operated by Mr. and
j Mrs. Met in Thomas, brings
nostalgic memories of the "good
'old davs." The cracker barrel is
gone, out there is every evidence
o! the ston which present old
sters used to Wsit, wherever
i they might have been, in days
!il 'childhood to buy a penny
stick of ct.ndy.
j But whet's this? In front of
i the store Is a genuine parking
i meter which is an Ironic incon
I gruity to the pastoral scene.
Mrs. Thomas reports that no
tickets have Ih-cii given over
I time paikers to the present. In
! fact very few who come to the
store ;ark In front of the meter, i
They have been so conditioned
troin their experiences in cities
that 'hey avoid the "iron ban
dit" even 111 uigll they Unow it
a gag.
The pinking meter was pre
sented to the Thomases by
friends from Kenton, Wn who
were anion); guests at u party
given at the home of Mr- and
Mrs Du' Krebs sometime ago
Dick said a bit ruefully that
thev didn't make any provision
for'"M-ter Maids" to attend to
the meter.
The meter has been the source
ol lots ol fun, Jokes and laugh
ter, but il it ever gets much use,
it will be as a tie post for horses.
Chalices are that the rider won't
bother to put a nickel in.
Mrs. Thomas enjoys catering
to the old fashioned flavor of
the store ami has pictures and
souvenirs ii.side that go back to
the days when history was in
the making Cecil once was a
watering stop on the Oregon
Trail, and the impressive Krebs
ranch, which nominates the
community of Cecil, Is bisected
by the Trail.
The stori is a familiar and
well-known sight to Morrow
county folks who drive by on the
highway, but probably there are
many who have never taken the
time to stop there. It would be
well worth anyone's time to stop
by. This summer when you ar:1
heading out or coming home,
you'll find cool refreshment In
the ("ceil store and a pleasant
moment enjoying the atmos
phere of tin; store.
