Sherman Nine Due; Trackmen to Travel Spring sports continue at a rapid pace this week-end, as both Heppner High baseball and track teams vie in important battles. HHS's diamondmen are pitted against Sherman Saturday in a crucial doubleheader. The first game will begin at 10 o'clock on the Mustangs' home dia mond. Meanwhile, Heppner's cinder men will compete in the Burns Invitational, also Saturday, in what should prove to be one of the outstanding meets ot the year. Heppner Golfers Third in Match The Heppner High golf team traveled to Echo last week, and competed in a meet with Herm iston and Pendleton, placing third. The wind added to the frus tration of the golfers but Herm iston captured first place hon ors. Heppner will play Wahtonka here Friday. In the meantime Coach Ed Hiemstra will try to schedule a match here with Pendleton. There's a little BULL in each ad, But here is a good STEER AND CONSERVE YOUR Mustangs Tally 89 to Dominate Triangular Meet by mac hoskins Capturing blue ribbons In 10 o the 16 events, Hoppner's track men rolled to an impressive tri angular moot victory over Sher man and Grant Union here Fri day. Times and distances were not spectacular, largely due to the cold, wet track, but the Mus tangs racked up 89 points to Grant's 9, with Sherman a dis tant third at 47. Probably the outstan ding mark of the day, from a Hepp ner standpoint, was burly Jim Jacobs' 45'4" effort In the shot put. Just 2S" off the school rec ord. The Mustangs' other pre mier weight man. Steve Wagon blast, took second In the shot, but won the discus with a fine 13S1" flip. Dave Hall won three blue ribbons and Bill McLood took two home, in addition to both running logs on the winning Heppner 440-yard relay team. Hall was victorious with a 9.5 seconds clocking in the 70-yard hieh hurdles, a 14.5 time In the 120-yard low hurdles, and a 19' i 5S" leap in the broad Jump. I McLeods 2:11.6 half mile time; was tops, as was his 5 4 high jump. Other Mustang victors were Dean Kindle, who sprinted an 11.1 second 100 yard dash, and Tim Smith, who won the two mile in 10:36. Partially because of HHS's small cinder squad, Heppner lacked depth in most of the events. Nevertheless, promising freshman high jumper Larry Anderson cleared 5'3" to take second In that event.

Rinehart's Spaniel Places in Dog Shows An interesting experience at dog shows befell Abbie, spring er spaniel belonging to the Rev. and Mrs. Dirk Rinehart when she was shown in two eastern Washington dog shows March 31 and April 1. At the March 31 show at Washington State University, Pullman, Abbie came in third out of four dogs in her show class. In Spokane the following night, competing with the same dogs, she was reserve champion and the previous night's first place winner came in third. The Rineharts considered both shows valuable experience and were able to combine their show trip with visits to her sister and fiance at WSU, also with friends, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Sterns, at Moses Lake. Enroute to Pullman they took Mrs. Rine hart's grandmother, Mrs. Flor ence Dana, to the Pendleton air port to board a plane for Seat tle where she will visit other members of her family before returning to her home in Virginia.

They serve only about 10 per cent of the American people with elec tricity. But bigness is not the same as great ness. In their own way, rural electrics try to achieve a special kind of greatness ... the kind that comes from providing a necessary service, and providing it continuously, economically, and depend ablybut with very little fanfare. With the help of Rural Electrifica tion Administration loans, rural people created the rural electrics to serve them selves and their neighbors, and this is what they will continue to do. They like it that way. Rev. and Mrs. Dirk Rlnehart and daughter Ann, were In Covt from Sunday until Wednesday H.ilsiln BUhop and Mrs. Bar ton to do aprlng work on Acon- ilon Summer Camp ground. They were making the camp ready for a Youth Convocation to be hold the week -end of Ap ril 21 ami 22, and for other church Kuthorlnga hold there In the aprlng. Clergy aiwlntlng were the Rev. Clarence Kopp, Cove, and tho Rev, BUI Woodman, La Grande.
