Diamondmen Face Sherman Saturday By BOB DOBBS Another league clash Is on the schedule for the Heppner High diamondmen this week end against the Sherman Coun ty Huskies. This first meeting or these clubs will be on Sher man's home field, Saturday, April 20, at 10:00 a.m. Heppner's win-loss record Is far from good but we feel the team is better than the record shows. The big problem has been with fielding the hit ball, Both mental and fielding errors nave played their role as disas ter-makers. The infield work Is very good, with the Horsemen working nard and well for each play, in fact, we watched a double-play work to perfection in one inning but three errors then followed. Batting doesn't seem to be a problem, with nearly everyone pulling off one or two hits a game. Mike Smith, Earl Ayres, and John McCabe have warm ed the cowhide consistently throughout the year. The Mustangs are a good club potentially, but the errors have been ruining their at tempts to reach fame. The day: they can combine limited er rors with their pitching and hit ting ability is the day they will start winning. Van's Plans Sale For Improvement Van's Variety this week Is an nouncing a stock reduction sale in order to clear merchandise to make Improvements In the store, Mrs. Wilbur Van Blokland said Tuesday.

Say, You Juniors and Seniors Some School Directors Hold Meeting (Continued from page 1) 'The primary reason for the deficit will be a lack of re ceipts," he said. The board also discussed the reorganization of intermediate education districts. Daniels said that the reorganization commit tee had not been receptive to the Morrow county district's pro posal that this district join with Umatilla and Union counties to form an I.E.D. because it would leave Wallowa county standing alone. Instead, the committee has recommended to the state that Umatilla and Morrow compro mise one district, Union and Wallowa another, and Malheur and Baker a third. Recreation Boon Seen as New Dam Forms Reservoir (Continued from page 1) nually when they are complet ed. Willows Park Developing At the east side of the Wil low Creek bridge at Heppner Junction is Willows park, where access is obtained by the new interchange. There will be a sheltered water area of several hundred acres here, he said, that will form a quiet zone when it is too rough to go out in small boats on the main res ervoir. There will be a launch ing area, park and access road here. The Willows park has great potential for future use. Locat ed between the railroad and the reservoir it will be very con venient for highway travelers as well as for local persons.
