This observation eomes from
a gal who visited at the Collins
home shortly after the flood. It
is really pretty good. "It doesn't
take much planning to protest;
only a pair of lungs and every
body was born with them!"
Ladd Dick Is so funny. He
didn't lose his cement mixer in
the flood because he'd loaned
it to Jim Rogers. He said he
wished he'd loaned him his
wheel barrow too because he
lost that in the flood. Anyway,
it's funny to hear Ladd tell it.
For several months, I've been
wanting to see Song of Norway.
We went to the theatre at Col
umbia Center on the 4th to see
It It is beautiful, the music is
beautiful, the photography, the
scenery and it made me cry . . .
but it was worth it. It is the
story of the Norwegian compos
er, Edward Grieg.
We stopped off at Hermiston
on the way home, to see Cur
tis and Julia Lund. They are the
ones who showed their pictures
at the spring Homemakers Fes
tival. They don't know so many
people in Heppner but they
read the Gazette-Times each
week and they are getting ac
quainted. . They loved reading about the
falls in last week's Gazette
Times. They had the good for
tune of "having Dorris Graves
take them to see the falls when
they were here this spring.
We're still admiring the way
jerry Rood cooked the steaks for
the class of 1961's 10th reunion.
Beautiful thick sirloins and T
bones came off the griddle to
perfection!
JULY'S BIRTHSTONE
Possessing; the most stimulating:
of all colors, the Ruby hai been
aptly dedicated to the high noon
and bright midsummer. It was
thought to contain a glowing; .
spark struck from the planet
Mars; a spark that could not be
quenched until the world itself
grew cold. The Ruby is the birth
stone for contentment and peace.

IF YE Visitor Relates
Norwegian Farm Life
John Bok, the IFYE student
visiting In Morrow County for
two weeks spoke at the Sorop
timist meeting when he was
here. An occasional lack of an
English word comparable to a
Norwegian word left a little
void in his talk and pictures.
His work is similar to that of
a County Agent here In Oregon.
His pictures were largely agri
cultural. Hay is dried off the
ground on pole supports due to
the heavyfall. They dry much
of their fish. They raise lots of
potatoes and sheep. A type of
deer forage that looked like
Kale was one of the plants and
Norwegian words that had no
American counterpart.
He showed pictures of their
holidays and the tables filled
with Norwegian food was dec
orative as well as mouth-watering.
Their candlesticks and
bowls were of wood whicli is
part of their manufacturing us
ing their substantial stands of
timber.
The group voted to send a let
ter to the City Council suggest
ing that as the fire signal is
sounded on Monday, the flood
signal should be sounded on
Thursday to familiarize people
with the sound,
