HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, February 21, 1963 Social Lites - - CALL 6-9228 or 6-9284 by Jo By JO PETTYJOHN I GUESS the highlight of social activity here was the Elks An nual held this year in the newly renovated Elks building Satur day. Many were skeptical of the new arrangement, wondering if it would hold the crowd, but as one who was there, I don't believe it was uncomfortably over-crowded and they did have a wonderful turnout at the Ladies card party at the Cath olic parish hall Saturday after noon. Other important goings on were the high school basketball games! Ye 'ole editor thinks I have the "fever," but wonder if I'm the only victim? ? ooo TUESDAY THIS week was not my day, just couldn't find anyone at home to follow news leads, so if your story "does not Rot in, that is the reason. How about calling me next time on any Tuesday! Speaking of call ing in items, I talked with one lady this week who asked if we couldn't have more "locals" in the paper. We all try to keep our eyes and ears open but just can't be at all places at all times, so call in when there are visitors at your house! Our out of town readers especially like to read them to keep up with the folks at home. JACKIE GLENNIE won the high for the evening of pinochle play last Wednesday at the home of Flo Connor. Marie Eck man won the pinochle and Jackie Alstott had low. Also in on the play were Beverly Sher man, Carolyn Cole, Mary Lov gren, Jeanne Berry, and Flo. Jcllo topped with whipped cream served with heart-shaped cookies completed the evening. The gals are changing their meeting date from Tuesday to Wednesday twice monthly so that three of them can "persuade" their hus bands to take the adult dancing lessons! SEVEN TABLES of duplicate bridge were in session Tuesday night at the Elks rooms with Delia McCurdy and Harlan Mc Curdy, Jr., winning high north south. Bob Brindle and Bill Blake were second high. Phil and Hazel Mahoney, just returned from their trip to Arizona and Southern California, won high east-west. Karen Thompson and La verne Van Marter were sec ond. A note to remember: the regularly scheduled meeting for next Tuesday is changed to Wed nesday, February 27, because of the dance lessons. ooo TRACIE CONNOR, five-yeEfr-old daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Mor gan Connor, celebrated her birthday Monday afternoon with a party for friends.

The youngsters enjoyed cupcakes, ice cream, and candy and loads of balloons for a fun afternoon. ooo PATTY PROCK entertained with two tables of bridge last Tues day night. Bebe Munkers won high; Jan Agee, second; Janina Johnson, low; and Mary McLeod, Jack high. I heard she sort of held a monopoly on that Jack high prize, as she held it all evening! Others playing were Gwen Green, Mary Jean McCabe, Eileen Prock, and Patty. Gwen brought the dessert of ice cream sundaes. Sounds delicious! ooo MARGUERITE GLAVEY had a visit Saturday with several-of her fifth grade students at the Glavey ranch home on Rhea (reek.

Inside was a picture of Velma, Hazel, Cork, and Marie, and as they told her, she would have to look at them each time she played the music box! We all wish you many good wishes, Gene! SEWING CLUB met last Wed nesday at the home of Marie McQuarrie and held a shower for Mrs. Bruce (Diane) Moyer with her mother, Donna Mc Curdy, receiving the gifts to be delivered to Bruce and Diane in La Grande. All brought their gifts unwrapped so they could view them and then they wrap ped the gitts all very prettily so the young couple could en joy unwrapping them.
