Dear Editor: A short time a-o the students of Heppner Hlj.'!i School and Heppner Elementary decided to Incorporate their efforts into single goal, sponsorship of building a school through the Peace Corps School Partnership Program. After one colossal project, we have surpassed the halfway point. Our total proceeds stand at approximately $530. This never could have teen achieved wi hout the Joint co operation of both the element ary and high schools, along with the unselfish acts of local cltl zens. Many people deserve special thanks, including the local mer chants who were most generous in offering valuable prizes for donations The Gazette-Times did an ex cellent Job of publicizing the benefit basketball game. The Morrow County Jaycees shouldn't go unnoticed. They were most cooperative, as al ways, in helping make the event successful. One more group deserves men tion. Recently the fourth grade class of Mrs. Lort-na Jones spon sored a cupcake sale in the be half of the PCSPP. I am very happy to say that they sold nearly GOO cupcakes, a tremen dous effort. We are not through raising money yet, but after the recent event and the community spir it that prevailed, we are opti mistic of reaching our goal of $1000 this spring.

The life of a newsman or something. P.P.S.: That Gazeite-Tlmes! The woods are full of 'em. Here, I went down to Grand ma's Table again Sunday for a good meal and to spill what 1 thought would be a big surprise. But no. When I asked for the manager he already had the dipping and was as pleased as punch and said he was going to irrier some extra copies and omc for his charming waitress es who wear long dresses and period "waists". Someone In the valley who takes the paper had brought him a copy. Pioneer CHUCK WAGON Well , . . there was a lot of rompin' and stompin out at the BUI Weatherford ranch the oth er day. Bill was loading hay. It was grain hay and there's lots of mice in it. One ran up Bill's leg then ran down into his boot. Bill was a-squirmin' and yellin' and he isn't sure which one of them was the scardest. (And fur thermore, it tickled!) Dear Editors: Fred Buschke called me yes terday and of course it is al ways good to hear a "voice from home". Fred and his wife are living on a place between Gresham and Portland. In Morrow County he was foreman on the Ray Wright ranch on Rhea Creek. Here he met his wife as she was teach ing school in the Rhea Creek dis trict. They left for Elgin in 1933 where Fred took over the run ning of his fathers-in-law ranch and his wife continued to teach Later he sold out but stayed on in Elgin where he was main tenance man at the school house. Mrs. Buschke is eligible to re tire but will continue teaching another year. Fred says since his retirement he does carpen tering, painting and so on. "Any thing but idleness" says Fred. They have two married dau ghter3. Millie Evans of Heppner is his sister. He remembers Mrs. A. H. Nel son, Mrs. Anne Smouse and Hor tense at Terwilliger Plaza and said he attended school in the Rhea Creek district when Mrs, Nelson, then Bertha Morgan, taught school. Ponderings By W. S. CAVERHILL "Big Foot" Again According to news reports, "Big Foot" has the boys chas Ing him around again in Wash ington's Cascade Mountains, why are they excited about him He isn't doing any harm, even if he is leaving tracks 18 inch es long. They should be thank ful he isn't "Paul Bunyan they're looking for. We have proof that "Paul" walked all ov er the Blue Mountains when the ground was soft. All our moun tain valleys are old "Paul's footprints. -The Grande Ronde Valley, Camas Prairie, Fox and Bear Valley wouldn't be there if Bunyan hadn't wandered around in the Blue Mountains when the frost was out of the ground. Dentist: the only man in town who tells a teenager when to open and shut his mouth and get away with it! It's a shock to visit old friends and find that one of their child ren has grown a foot and the other a beard! One good thing about the new dances nobody knows when you make a mistake.
