It used to be there was only room enough for one car between what is no the Junior High and the dirt bank behind it. In 1922-23-24 ProfessorHe drich started the shovel ant wheelbarrow brigade. Mis deeds were punished by much time on the wheel barrow. The boys trundled the dirt from the bank be hind the school and dumped over the steep bank where the gymnasium now stands. Eventually it was filled in enough to build the gym. Austin said he could reme mber having to wheel 25 whe elbarrows Ml one time, but he couldn't remember whv. "At least it kept us out of mischief while we were haul ing dirt and was good foot ball developer." Others who can tell stories about this are: Leonard Schwarz, Harold Becket, Durwood Tash, Cornett Green, Jimmy Thomson. Ha rold Erwin, Terre! Bengeand Crocket Sprculs. lack Sweek now of Monu ment and Pendleton adds a P3 to this story. He was too young to get in the wheel barrow brigade. But punish ment was meted out in the same fashion.

To the Editor of the Gaelte Tunes My thanks to mine very nice folks ot Heppner and ur roumling area Recently my wife, ton and I visited Heppner to recall memories ol the 1903 flood and the l.inulv homestead in the Hlue Mts We were very warmly re ceived and many people assisted in our search I was a hoy of eleven in IM03 living in Heppner The family survived even though we spent the night in the second floor of our home right in the path of the flood Fortunately a large house had become judged in front of ours and diverted the water to either side The family had just moved into town from the homestead in the lllue Mt. area 1 was in Heppner 52 years ago hut have wanted to return for many years and was very happy I finally did so Fortunately one of the first people 1 met was Mrs Heather ford when we inquir ed at the newspaper office. As soon as she knew w hy we were in town, she immediately became interested in helping us She introduced us to several towns-people, all showing a lot of interest in our visit and helping along the way. When she introduced us to her husband. Bill, he took over We spent the next few days riding with Bill as we attemp ted to locate the home site in town and the homestead in the mountains Along the way. he introduc ed Gene Ferguson who took us in his pickup to several likely meadows in various parts of the mountains Also through Mrs. Weather ford we met the museum curator, who personally es corted us through the muse um. Altogether we thoroughly enjoyed our visit mainly be cause of some very nice folks Mr and Mrs L'.A Rahv and sot: Delbert of Chieo. Calif. Toledo, Oregon August 1.1973 To The Gaiette Times And many friends in Heppner- We have been indeed sad dened to hear of so many of our friends who have had ac cidents and have passed away in the last few months He are happy to hear that so many of our former pupils are doing so well Since it was on the radio, I suppose most of our friends know that we had a serious accident while at East Lake Our propane tank leaked and was ignited by the pilot light in the oven He are getting better every day. Best wishes to all our friends, Lucille & Millard Brown P S. How do we find out about our friends? The Ca xetteTimes, of course, couldn't get along without REMEMBER THIS? REMINISCE! To The Editor Number of years in a person 's lite is not important but how you "weather" them and how they are used A neighbor of mine, 'Mrs. R. D (Cora ) Snyder was 90 Aug ust 3. No wrinkles, skin like a young womans. But her temperament-serene as a sum mer's lake, always pleasant. A good guide for all of us. Her husband was a Metho dist minister out at Sellwood until his death. She has 4 living step children. 11 grandchildren, and 23 great grandchildren. They absolutely adore her. They came en mass for an outdoor picnic dinner, bring ing a money tree with them. And in passing. I'll mention her attire-always perfectly dressed from early morning on. What an example for us. Josephine Mahoney Baker Terwilliger Plaza To the Editor: Do the people of the City of Heppner know that our City Council voted the zoning ord inance out at their August 7th meeting? On advice of their attorney that they could "legally" allow a conditional use permit in a zoned residen tial area to construct a commercial building by re classifying Mr. Peterson's proposed building by "public" building, they did so vote to so allow Webster's unabridged dicti onary defines public as "open to common use; for the use or benefit of all. as a'public' road, 'public' parks." Comm ercial is defined as "made or done primarily for sale or pro fit " I do not believe that either Mr. Mahoney or any member of our City Council believes that Mr. Peterson is planning this building "open to all as a 'public' park. I do believe that they do think that he is building with the purpose of "profit". I. therefore, say that the Planning Commission first and then our City Council have nullified the zoning ordinance. They are not in position to now police any type ot variance as they would immediately be in jeopardy of discrimination. Sincerely yours.

He proved he could "take it" by being knocked some 10 feet and being uncon scious for several minutes The Oregon Journal featur ed a story Aug 8 titled "Gal Jockey 'Mystery' Not So Mysterious ' After All". It concerned Rohyn Smyth who is considered by Sports Illus trated Magazine as the most successful of women jockeys. Miss Smith was adopted by Orville L Smith and lived with them in Heppner for three years. Her mother. Constance Palm in 1!M7 filed an action with Catholic Chanties Inc. to have the adoption set aside. This was denied by the Morrow County Court but in a landmark case Oregon Sup reme Court Justice George Rossman reversed the decis ion and ordered that the girl be returned to her mother and placed in a foster home. The article said the reasoning was that the child should be placed with a family of the child's religious persuasion. Photo in a recent Ore. Jour nal shows her as a very comely young lady of 23.
