Cooperation, Enthusiasm Can Do Things!
With the hope that planning a Bird Sanctuary at the Pio
neer Memorial Hospital would attract the birds that the pa
tients and those in the nursing home might enjoy watching,
the women at World Day of Prayer enthusiastically voted to
use their offering money to start such a project.
Their first purchase was the tulip bowl and stand that
will serve as a bird bath this year. It is hoped that next year
the pump and smaller basin for the bird bath will be added.
Birds are attracted to moving water. This has been installed
on the front lawn. Thanks to Bob Lowe and his crew at the
H0B Across the driveway and on the bank bushes and shrubs
have been planted that Ed Cutting recommended. These pro
vide berries that the birds will like as well as protection.
These include sumac, high bush cranberry, cornus Stolorlfere,
vibernum tomertorum, honeysuckle and Barberry. Three Boy
Scouts and the committee supervised by Ed Cutting planted
these shrubs early in April.
Bob Lowe and his crew removed the turf, hauled In top
soil, then from the World Day of Prayer money, bought bark
dust which has been spread over the area to keep down the
WLast week Jack Loyd, a builder craftsman, volunteered
to build bird houses to hang in the trees about the hospital.
He has the Boy Scout handbook and other bird house books.
He plans to build a variety of bird houses that will serve to
attract many different kinds of birds.
Congratulations to all who have cooperated to get this
project off and running.
At Least Neutral
James N. Sites, public relation., executive, put into words
the climate in which business operates today when he said,
" . . you can't whitewash a garbage dump. Any organiza
tion must be able, in effect, to go Into the court of public opin
ion with clean plants. It is therefore only common sense foi
a firm to analyze and inventory where it now stands on air,
water noise and even visual' pollution and either clean
up, or be able to convince the public it is pursuing a pro
gram of determined action aimed at doing so ... It Is no
longer enough simply to prove we need a particular com
pany's product or services. Managements are being held re
sponsible for their organization's total Impact on the commu
nity. If this cannot be positive In all respects, it should be
at least neutral."
For its part now that Industry Is recognizing its obli
gations in the environmental field the public has no choice
but to accept its share of the costs of the new standards
that are a part of every business operation in the country.

I cannot be as prolific a report
er for the hometown paper as
Josephine Mahoney, I can from
time to time bring your readers
up to date on some of their
friends now down in the valley.
KIT ANDERSON, HHS gradu
ate, is the new editor of the
Oregon State Daily Barometer.
This and the Presidency of the
student body are the two most
prestigious offices on the cam
pus. Kit has been for the past
year while attending classes
writing free lance and has en
joyed by line stories in numcr
f.nQ state of Oreeon newspapers,
Including the Oregonian. His
dad, a former extension agent
for OSU at Heppner, now lives
In Dallas, Ore.
DAVE HALL, also HHS grad,
had an excellent reign ns stu
dent body president at OSU and
i'hrKf not to run for another
term. His successor, a longtime
friend of Dave's, is Ron Wilkin
son of Lebanon, who has a 4-H
and FFA background quite sim
ilar to that of Dave.
COL. ED BURCHELL, a Mor
rniu Cnuntv native off a wheat
ranch, is now on the OSU staff
as traffic administrator. His
wife Kay (Healy) is another
Heppner product. They have
purchased a new home in Cor
vallis and just moved up from
Southern California. Ed was
manager of an H. R. Block in
come tax office when we phon
ed him that there was a Job
open at Oregon State that he
might be interested in, since he
has a great background from
being in charge of transporta
tion for the Fifth Army as a
Colonel in the Army. Ed passed
all the examinations and inter
views with flying colors and re
ported for duty on May 1. As
an OSU grad, he was anxious
to get back onto the campus. I
know where to go to get my
traffic tickets "fixed."
My friends down here, tired
of my expounding on Heppner
and Morrow County, ask "if

many leave there?" My stock

Needed 'Eye Control'
By REV. FLOYD EVERHART
Jesus once spoke of "putting
hands to the plough but eyes
straight ahead". He was really
saying: "Don't plow a crooked
furrow in God's fields". Paul in
writing to the Galatians said:
"O foolish Galatians ... ye did
run well; who did hinder you?"
Before we seek an answer let
us consider the subject of his
discourse. It Is thought that one
of the branches of the Gallic or
Celtic race from Asia settled In
Asia Minor and named it Gal
ntia. This DeoDle also passed
through southern Europe and fi
nally settled in the Britisn lsies.
This race in its career among
the nations of the earth has
been fitly compared to the Gulf
stream in its course through the
Oceanic regions. From an re
ports our Heppner community
has received its snare oi mis
overflow. Now it remains a com- Fontaines; Gall, one of his con
mon Gaelic habit of mind to ' stituents, pushed on over the
live in the past and such is
true today in the old countries.
I can share this feeling from
my Father's maternal house
hold "the . O'Currans". The
name Curran is from Corran
which Is a dimunitive of Cor-
radh meaning Spear. It must
have been a welcome day when
many laid aside their "spears
and took un the implements of
industry and peace. My Moth
er's family true to the High
land race had a strong kinship
with its varied usages but above
all they were conscious of the
needs of the Spirit especially
the Kirk. The Church can ever
be likened to a great Athletic
contest with the final winner's
being crowned with "crowns
that fade not away". But the
watchword remains "Hold fast
to the Truth but keep your eyes
ahead".
I.pt ns think for a moment of
those who have renowned ath
letes of other days. Shall we be
gin with Patrick who at some
nprind in the 5th centurv. ar
rived from Ancient Britain on
his Spirit ordered mission and
thus began a tenacious camp
aign to win the Irish to God?
His main concern was to evan
celizo the country with the first
or primary steps of getting peo
ple to acknowledge God. From
all historical accounts me oos
pel reached Ireland in great
simnlicitv. The lore of the Old
and New Testaments resplend
ent in the Christian theology
was like a refreshing wind.
Then Irishmen learned and re-
cited the Fsaims wnn ease na

ba who was himself a product
nf thP Celtic Church. He found
pd a number of schools of
Christian learning and after
wa rrt crossed to Iona in the
Western Scottish Isles. From this
college at Iona he directed a
mission principally to nis own
countrymen, the Scots from Ire
land who had now founded the
Tfinp-dom of Dalnada in Scot
land. Think a moment of the
own armv of Irish missionar
les who set out to rekindle the
Faith of Europe. Century after
century saw them sailing on in
to sunrise or sunset to clothe
the land with Christ. Fridolin,
the "traveller" crossed the
Rhone and set up the cross at
Seckingen; Kilian converted

Columbanus of Bobbio went

er Irish monks and founded the
monasteries of Lunewill and
pushed on over the
Alps into Switzerland and
founded the monastery called
Gall. Fursa who passed through
France and then founded a
monastery near Paris.
Do the words of Paul to the
Galatians call us to exercise dis
cipline? This is a sophisticated,
technological age which stands
to lack the "fear of God which
is the beginning of wisdom".
What so inspired the hearts of
the early Christians that they
should go everywhere preaching
and teaching Christ's finished
work on the Cross and yet nev
er forgot for a moment the Glor
ious hope of His second Advent?
Did you know that His second
coming is mentioned five hund
red times in the New Testament
with one out of every thirteen
verses referring to it? Or that
in fourteen of the twenty one
Epistles there is no mention of
Baptism; and in twenty of
twenty one Epistles there is no
mention of the "Lord's Supper"
but in the Epistles one out of
each ten verses refer to His sec
ond Advent? Indeed if these ref
erences to Christ were deleted,
only a tattered Bible with no
continuity would be left.
Have you put your hands to
the plow which represents per
sonal involvement in God's
Kingdom i. e. personal accept
ance of God's offer of Pardon?
Where are your eyes which rep
resent God's Purpose 1. e. How
to know and follow His will for
your life? How soon it may be
that rewards will be given for
those who Obey?

neighbors of the Campbells
were: Bill Stafford, Joe Eskel
sons, Theo Cork, Ralph Benges,
George Browne, John Lieuallen,
George Smith, Eph Eskelson,
Jack Hills.
These people lived In an area
about five miles square with
the Campbells about the center

Telephone Comes to the Ridge
The telephone came to Social
Ridge about the turn of the cen
tury and the telephone "line"
was in most places, the top wire
of the barbed wire fence. In
this way, the news of the Hepp
ner flood was relayed. Tele
phone contact was possible with
the Becketts to the west in the
Liberty District beyond Rhea
Creek, the Lum Rheas and Hen
ry Padbergs on Rhea Creek.
"Central" was in Leach's Store
in Lexington.
The first school for the child
ren of those early settlers was
held In the home of Eph Es
kelson about a mile west of
Campbells. The schoolhouse,
east and north of Campbells
was built in 1895. School was
held three months in the fall
and three months in the spring
and averaged 15 students. All
four of the Campbell children,
Annie Keene, Lexington, Roy,
Lexington, Effie Crow in Can
ada and Arthur Campbell in In
diana, receiving their grade
school education there. A small
amount of schooling beyond an
8th Grade diploma entitled a
person to teach. Annie taught
school from 1906 to 1910 at the
Social Ridge School. I
