HEPPNEH GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. July 20. 1967 Lifeguards Work Averts Drowning At Heppner Pool (Continued from page 1 over the edge of the pool. The swimmers stood back, although he called for help. "I had to treat her pretty rough to get her out," Dick said. Her knees were scratched in the process and bleeding. While he was giving the re suscitation, he asked someone to go for an ambulance. Finally one of the youngsters went to the bath house and told Peggy Snyder, attendant there, who went to a nearby house and called the ambulance. Dick, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Dick, will be a junior at Eastern Oregon College this fall. He took his senior life saving work in La Grande and attend ed a school on water safety in struction in Portland early this summer. A graduate of Hepp ner High school. Stuart was a top student and fine athlete there. As a result of the near drown ing, he had some suggestions to make on improving safety conditions at the pool. These are discussed in the editorial on page 2. . Dick's efficient work m rescu ing and reviving the young woman Thursday kept the pool s drowning-free record intact. Dr. L. D. Tibbies, who designed the pool and supervised its con struction, probably about 1941 to the best of his recollection, said that no drownings have ever occurred at the pool, and the Thursday incident was the closest. On two other occasions that Dr. Tibbies recalls, persons were taken from the pool and had to be brought back to conscious ness. However, there have been numerous cases when it was necessary' for the lifeguard to help someone, probably averag ing one even- two years. Tom Hughes, lifeguard for eight years and Ron Gray, life guard for two years, told Dick that they had never had to as sist anyone in serious trouble. This year's lifeguard said that he has pulled three others from the pool this summer, but two were children under close su pervision attempting to pass the deep water test and another was one who was starting be ginning swimmer classes. Incidentally, Dr. Tibbies said that Civilian Conservation Corps boys helped to build the pool, and the construction cost on the job was only 518,000. Republicans Talk Of Election Year Flans for conducting a regis tration drive in the fall and for electing Republican candidates next vear were discussed at a four-county Republican mooting here Fridav evening with Mrs. Herman Winter, Morrow county central committee chairman, presiding.

HENRY KKEBSI Cecil Post Office Spans 100 Years (Continued from pace 1) then took over and operated the business for some 13 years. Lo can eventually became sheriff of Gilliam county. Lowes Come in 1913 It was in the fall of 1913 that the Lowes came from Durham City, England, with their child ren, Annie, Minnie, Jean, Bill and Bob. They first stayed with relatives but bought the store near Christmas time in 1913. Since then, the store's chron ology includes the following owners: Mr. and Mrs. Ray Scott, now both deceased, 15VJ5 1930; Laurence Cochwn. who came from Monument, 1930 to 1935; Roy Hurst, who came from Portland, 1935 1947; Peter Nash, from 1917-1949; Mrs. Peggy Rhodes, who came from Vancou ver, Wn., 1950-1953; W. T. Me Clintock, who operated the store 11 years, 1953-1964; Mr. and Mis. Mervin Thomas, who came from Washington and operated the store for two years; and fi nally, Miss Evelyn Marick, who has had the store for the past year. The dates are only approxi mate for fractions of years -are involved, depending on the dates of sale, and they are dif ficult to establish accurately. Bob Lowe says he believes that the post office was in Col by's house before it was moved to the store about 70 years ago. When the Lowes came to Ce cil, it was a rather bustling community. There were two school teachers to serve the school and some 30 youngsters attended there. Economy de pending mainly on cattle, but the Hynd brothers were there, and they had sheep as well as cattle. Considerable wheat was grown in the area, even in that early day. Lodge Hall Upstairs In the upstairs of the store building was the Odd Fellows hall. Church and school were held there at various times. The hall served for dances, wed dings and entertainments, and even to this day, it has some use for gatherings. Visiting Port land eighth graders and their hosts assembled there in 1966. and 1967. The post office had been in operation for some 46 years and the store had a quarter-century behind it when the Lowes came. The store building had fallen into some disrepair, and Mr. Lowe, a progressive man, made improvements, paint e d the building, and gave it a general rejuvenation. He also made im provements each year thereaf ter. The first long distance tele phone line was put in about 1916 or 1917. Lowe built a reser voir and added running water. Union Pacific's train came daily, except Sunday, and Lowe was ticket agent at Cecil. The train at first had both a bag gage and mail coach as well as freight cars, but later a "com bine" half baggage and half passenger coach was used on the run. Bob recalls two occas ions when special trains brought loads of passengers to Cecil to attend dances. Emigrants Travel Trail Emigrants to Oregon furnish ed one of the most colorful parts of Cecil's history. From Cecil it was 42 miles to Echo by the Oregon Trail, the only road In the early days, and C5 miles ine Danes. Ine thriving com munity was a real oasis for these hardy travelers. Bob says that the westwaid bound settlers were still using the Trail in the first years when his family had the store. He re members them taking -f I the wheels of their covered wagons and placing them in Willow creek to soak so that they wouldn't fall apart on the re mainder of their journey. They washed their clothes in the creek and camped out. At the store thev obtained salt, rolled oats, bacon, tea. cof fee, chewing tobacco, coal oil, and other needs. "It was surprising how many of these items sold for a nick el." he said. It wasn't until about 1917 that another road was built, but the Oregon Trail was undoubtedly a shorter route to The Dalles than the present highway. The store was quite a thriv ing business when the Lowes were there. "The farmers bought beans by the gunny sack," Bob recalls. Annie (now Mrs. Henry Krebsi helped in the post office. Min nie married Major E. V. Leh man, and unfortunately, Jean, third daughter of the Thos. Lowes, died at Cecil just before the family left it. Bill, one of the two boys, never lived there, being employed elsewhere. Bob kept in touch with Cecil, com ing and going several times since his father sold the store and went to Portland, where he worked for Meier and Frank Co. Bob for a time worked for the State Highway Department. He also worked on the railroad, but left Cecil for the last time in 1940. Both he and Bill now reside in Heppner. Cecil's store and post office still retains its early day flavor and brings nostalgia as an old time general store.
