Spring Jewelry Fashions Told
He left this seventh largest
country in the world about the
time It achieved Its indepen
dence. He observed the great
migrations of peoples that were
taking place as many Moslems
moved west Into Pakistan and
many Hindi moved out of that
area and east and south. Ha was
stationed in northern India near
the Punjab which Is watered by
five rivers.
Three Problems
Rev. Blackaller declared that
India has three outstanding
problems. One is Its over
population (between one-sixth
and one-seventh of the world's
people-48S persons to the'
square mile compared with
about 57 to the square mile in
the US)
A second problem is com
munication (about 180 langu
ages, including 14 major ones,
plus more than 200 dialects).
Mr. Blackaller learned to speak
Urdu which was used most
extensively during the last of
England's reign and which, he
felt, was one of the unifying
forces in the struggle for
independence. The 1950 consti
tution provided that Hindi
should be the official language.
Religion is the other great
problem. Religion Is such a
serious matter to the people,
being inertwined with their
culture and their everyday
habits. The various Hindu sects
are dominant and next is the
Moslem group, know as Islam.
The Christians aro the third
largest group. Other religious
groups art the Sikhs, the
Buddhists, and the Jains. He
praised the Christian churches
for their cooperative efforts In
North India, and he concluded
by saying that he really enjoyed
talking about his missionary
experience which has kept up
his Interest In India. A
After . refreshments were
served by Mrs. W.W.Weather
ford, Mrs. Ida Fsrra and Mrs.
Edwin Cutting, Mr. and Mrs.
Blackaller left to drive to Walla
Walla. A brief business meeting
was' held. The evening con
cluded with a devotional period
by the Rev. Edwin Cutting.

OOH we saw that play "One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
put on at EOC last Saturday.
Actually we went because our
neighbor boy, Robert Frank,
from Milton-Freewater days
was in the play. The play is
thought provoking on the life of
the inmates of a state hospital.
It has haunted me lots. It was a
tremendous play and excellent
acting. Someday I may get
enough nerve to read the book.
When we came from the
motel Sunday morning to drive
to Milton-Freewater to pick up
Charlie's mother, we had a flat
tire. Charlie went next door and
who should come but Eddie
Sherman. He asked me where
we were going and I told him
"Milton-Freewater and then
Heppner". The way he said
"Heppner?" was the same way
you'd say "Heaven?" He is a
senior at EOC. He grew up in
lone and thinks Morrow County
is the greates U had never met
him but I knew him as a
subscriber!!
As we came across Tollgate,
we met more snowmobilers
than we did skiers. There's lots
of snow yet on that highway but
very little on Blue Mountain's 80

I'm ready for spring but
according to the calendar we've
got another week. The apricot
buds are showing pink. I'm
delighted to have this cooler
weather. That will help to slow
them down and just maybe then
they'll bloom late enough so
they wont get nipped in the bud
and we'll have apricots again
this year.
More look alikes. Two black

The Ladies Aid Society of the
Boardman Community Church
met Wednesday afternoon of
last week at the home of Mrs.

Things", taken from "Our Daily
Bread."
Mrs. Hazel Miller was chair
man of the annual Heart Fund
Driverepresenting the society.
and reported that $211.85 had
been turned in so far. More
expected, as the drive continues
the rest of the month. Assisting
Mrs. Miller in the drive were
four grade school students,
Vickie Daniels, Lori Russell,
Karen and Kristie Baker.
The ladies voted to give $20 to
the Don Hendrix Memorial
Fund.
