Woolery Memorial Park
Approved By Council
The Woolery Memorial Park
(lone City Park) will be regis
tered in the Memorial Gardens
booklet of the National Council
of State Garden clubs, if the
lone Garden club's application
is accepted.
The lone City Council, at their
business meeting on January 7,
designated the citv nark as a
memorial to J. A. Woolery, doner
or the awxi50 loot area in the
downtown district. Three and a
half years ago a marker in mem
ory of Mr. Woolery was placed
in the park by Willows Grange.
I he granite stone from the vicin
ity of lower Eightmile was chis
eled out by Oscar Lundell, who
was an old-time friend of Mr,
Woolery.
The lone Garden club estab
lished a planting of shrubs and
chrysanthemums aro u n d the
marker with funds donated by
members of the Woolery family.
Members of the club tree plant
Ing committee, Mrs. F. T. Martin,
Mrs. Ronald Bishop, Mrs. Phil
Emert, Mrs. Fannie Griffith and
Mrs. E.lbe Akers, are maintain
ing the planting.
The city park has a long his
tory to tell. It has been an
oasis for many a weary traveler,
including Indians and gypsies,
during its sixty years of exis
tence. At times it became for
gotten. It was in a run-down
condition when the lone Garden
club was organized in 1949 with
its main project being to recon
struct this park.
Beds of iris, lilacs, and other
flowers that do well in this area,
made a showy corner on main
street. A hedge of 100 Caragana
was planted as a windbreak. A

tool shed was erected by the
club, with rest rooms built by
the city. Half the area was fen
ced. A fireplace was built, four
picnic tables and eight benches
were donated by individuals and
organizations.
Garden club members watered,
cultivated, planted, seeded lawn,
fertilized, raked leaves and hired
the lawn mowing done until the
city agreed to maintain it in
1956. Since then the second half
of the donated area was cleaned
up, grass seeded and a sprinkler
system installed. Then during
the winter of 1962, the removal
of old, dangerous trees reduced
the shady area. The garden club

Tree Burning,
Tree Planting
The postponed Twelfth Night
burning of Christmas trees was
held on Tuesday -evening, Jan
uary 14, following the regular
meeting of the lone Garden club,
sponsors of the annual celebra
tion. High winds prevented the
burning on January 6 (twelve
days after Christmas or Twelfth
Night).
Following group singing of
"O Come All Ye Faithful" Rev.
Walter Crowell, minister of the
United Church of Christ, spoke
of the purpose of the event. A
final tribute is given to the
Christmas tree that has held a
significant spot in every home
during the Christmas season.
After prayer, a song, and in the
light of the brightly burning
trees attended by Eldon Tucker,
cupcakes were distributed to ap
proximately 40 children and
adults, by the garden club com
mittee, Mrs. Omar Rietmann,
Mrs. Ralph Crum and Mrs. Edith
Nichoson.
Mrs. Ralph Crum, vice presi
dent, presided at the January
meeting of the lone Garden club
in the absence of its president,
Mrs. Oscar Lundell. Thirteen
members and two guests answer-
prl rnll rail of "RbaHc vnn uuill

Memorial hospital, Heppner,
where she was taken about mid
night. Funeral services were held at
2:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon at
the lone United Church of Christ
with the Rev. Kenneth Robinson
of Valby Lutheran church and
the Rev. Walter Crowell of lone
officiating. Interment was at the
Morgan cemetery. Mrs. Paul
Tews was organist and accom-
hostess at her home with Mrs.
Ida Esteb, co-hostess.
Mrs. Vida Heliker spoke on
"Planting by the Moon," by us
ing signs of the Zodiac, which is
an interesting theory proven
successful by many gardeners
and farmers.
Mrs. Carl Bergstrom reported
on the Pea Fowl (Peacock) and
Mrs. Phil Emert told about owls
and hawks. The Gray Horned
inhabits this area and is consid
ered destructive, but the good
it does in destroying rodents,
etc, much outweighs the harm
it does. Wanton shooting of owls
and hawks are causing their ex
tinction. They help keep the
small bird population in balance.
Mrs. Fredrick Martin brought
the arrangement for the day.
Mrs. Heliker received the door
prize.
At a recent meeting, the
street tree planting committee
decided not to plant any trees
this spring. Replacements will
be made next year when new
street plantings can be made,
following new city water-main
installatoins. There is a possi
bility that the representatives of
bears Roebuck and the Oregon
State Federation Civic Improve
ment committee will visit lone
to see the results of the local
street tree planting project.
Pruning, cultivating, mulching
and general conditioning of
trees will be done soon with the
aid of the lone Lions club, thus
giving help to the local home
owner.

Insurance Questions
QUESTION: Why should a
person who is very careful
and watchful of the upkeep
and repair of his property pay
out good money for this com
prehensive personal liability
insurance? There is a pretty
slim chance of a chargeable
accident on well kept up
property.
ANSWER: Accidents on the
insured person's property are
only a small part of the cov
erage of the liability insur
ance you mention. This is a
low cost insurance which cov
ers the actions of the insured
person and his entire house
hold at home and away from

things. Everybody should
have it.
