PAUL JONES TO PRESIDE
How many women have vowed they would enter the Ore
r n Wheat Growers' League Cake Baking Contest NEXT YEAR
i ;t feeing the cakes at the county fair? Morrow County is
'u.'it country. There should be lots and lots of entries at
the County Fair.
The recipe for the 1971 Contest is printed in this week's
Gazette-Times In the Columbia Basin Co-op ad. A change
has been made from the chocolate cakes of the last couple of
years. It's a white cake with a lemon filling that looks de
licious even if it is lots of work.
The recipe Is printed early so that all homemakers may
practice between now and fair time on their families. We
would appreciate hearing from homemakers as they try this
cake. Following are the rules of the contest. Of course it
isn't the prize money . . . it's the blue ribbon! Happy cake
baking.

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.
Again I would like to extend
many thanks to everyone that
helped make the basketball
games a successful project
Respectfully yours,

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.

"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.

Had a telephone call today
from Mary Carty Doherty,
younger daughter of Jim Carty,
formerly of the Sand Country

lived for a time in Butte, Mont,
before moving to Portland where
she and her husband are now
living.
Her sister Ann Carty Smith
lives in Burlingame, Calif. She
has 4 daughters and Mary has
two daughters.

for her father, Jim Carty, who
ran huge bands of sheep.
