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.
Over The
Tee Cup
By DEC CRIBBLE
At nine o'clock promptly Sun
day golfing began at McNary
Golf course with 23 men and
six women from Heppner. In
late summer, golfers fight with
the mosquitoes, but early its
the WIND, and it was out in
full force.
Winners for Heppner were:
Clint McQuarrie, low net; Ray
Ferguson and Harlan McCurdy,
tied for low gross; Judge Car
michael, long drive; Jim Doher
ty, closest to the pin.
A new prize listed as Extra
Low Net was given to Maurice
Groves and Lowell Gribble.
Next to Low was Jim Wishart
and Van Marter, Sr. Ladles win
ning were Mary Lou Kelley,
low net; Doe Gribble, low
gross; and Vi Lanham, long
drive. -
The list of winners for Mc
Nary was just as long, and I
couldn't keep up, but the HOS
PITALITY was fabulous and ev
eryone enjoyed a chicken dinner
buffet style.
Prospective members hear
this: You do NOT need a spe
cial invitation to come down
and try out your swing. We
welcome you. If you need help,
there is usually someone there.
Just ask. Ladies are having a
rough time getting started.
Don't give up, the sun Is bound
to shine one of these days.
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.

are David Hall, president Stove

loo Jacobs, secretary-treasurer;
Jim Jacobs, recreation loader,
and Maureen McEUlgott, news

The main purpose of tho Em
pire Builders Is to perform acts
that will benefit tho communi
ty. To accomplish this purpose
we set three goals for the year.
These goals are to gather data
on colleges, to paint the fair and
rodeo buildings, and to start a
youth center.
To start a youth center is our
main goal. We fool that the
surrounding communities need
a youth center. As we know,
some groups have already tried,
but without success. We want
to find out why those various
groups have failed. Also we
would appreciate cost estimates.
To accomplish this goal, we
are going to need the support
of the people In the surround
ing communities.

JVural electrics are small In an era of
bigness. 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.
