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.
Today is your day.
