Thanks, Mr. Holbrook SI Some months ago this column got into a little discussion with The Oregonlan over an excerpt from Stewart Holbrook's book on the Pacific North west which appeared in that paper and in which the author classified Heppner as a village. We took exception to the term "village" and The Ore gonlan at that time suggested that possibly we had better not complain too loudly lest this well known writer rate us down even further and call us a hamlet. Last Tuesday Mr. Holbrook's book "Far Cor ner: A Personal View of the Pacific Northwest" came from the publisher and it was with consider able interest that we read the chapter on Heppner to see how we fared. Now we don't know that The Oregonian had anything to do with it, but the chapter on the Heppner flood, "Disaster in June" comes under "Part Four, Hamlets." In the description of the flood, Heppner still remains a "village." But ... . a little farther on we came upon a footnote which made us feel better. 1 1 reads, "It does not like be ing referred to as a village. It Is an incorporated municipality, and within its borders is a building whose facade has in bold letters the legend 'City Hall.' " Maybe we didn't come out of the argu ment a city, but at least our complaint was recog nized and acknowledged. Mr. Holbrook's designation of our home town as an "incorprated municipality" was, we believe, masterful. It leaves wide open the exact catagory into which Heppner shall be placed, something that should satisfy everyone. The book we read, one of the author's own autographed copies sent to a Heppner relative, Mrs. Tress McClintock, bore this penned inscrip tion. "To Bonnie and Tress with affection and apol ogies for Hamlets Stewart." Our mild objection we feel was sustained. Mr. Holbrook also credits several Heppner resi dents with assisting him in finding the answer to the question of whether or not there was a clock in the court house at the time of the flood and if so. did it stoD when the deluge hit. What is his answer? That we shall leave for the readers of his book to find out! To Each Shall Come His Due The people of Heppner may well be proud of its high and grade school bands and the showings they made at La Grande last Friday and Saturday in the Eastern Oregon Music Festival. Both groups received superior ratings as did several smaller ensembles within the organiza tion, which indicates that the 41 students and their director, Bob Collins have spent many hours in practice and training. They deserve. congratula tions on their achievements. It has been said that musical groups seldom receive their due recognitions, and possibly that is true, but just remember, kids, a football player doesn't draw much attention during baseball sea soon, either.
