The picnic started out to be for employees only, but ended up with half the townspeople attending. Most of the women brought salads and desserts, but Buzz furnished over 70 pounds of fried chicken for the group, which totaled over 100 people. In order to have the picnic, the couple just closed the doors to their establishment. Sunday is a good business dav. especially for restaurants and bars. "I have a ood bunch of employees and they need a day off once in a while just to relax and have a good time," Buzz said. Everyone present partici pated in some sort of activity. They pitched horseshoes, played baseball, had sack races, fished, even had a sack race for those over 60. This was not the type of picnic where only a handfull of people do all the work while the rest sit around and drink beer and complain about the food! Youngsters were told tales by older citizens about the days when elk and deer were shot "just a ways from here." Some children even tried their hand at fishing. Some of the youngsters roasted marsh-' mallows and weiners for older folks, then sat around waiting for more stories about "the good old days." This picnic may become an annual affair. Gene Garrett, 5, and Marty Brannan, 6, put their feet together as they race toward the finish line in the sack race. Scenes as this were common during the Lynch picnic at Cutsforth Park, Sunday.

Mrs. Martin divided mem bers into groups for the contest to identify and catego rize the plants as annuals, bi-annuals or perennials. Heppner and lone delegates, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cutting and Mrs. Van Hubbard, gave their views on the state convention , held at Salem in June. Mr. Cutting was impressed with this year's flower ar rangements. For each ar rangement on display, the arranger made one in the same likeness while the aud ience observed. Mrs. Cutting reported on a program concerning lichen, which is a large group of mosslike plants consisting of algae growing in close asso ciation in patches on rocks and tree trunks. It is not a parasite and does not affect the material on which it grows. Its value in relation to ecology is that its growth determines the amount of air pollution pres ent. It is sometimes used in flower arrangements and dis plays. Look closely at some of the old "barn" picture frames and you will find it there, too. A special farewell and good wishes written by Vida Heli ker to Bobby Driscoll, Bebe Munkers, Rita Wolff, and Doris and Edwin Cutting (lone Garden Club members who are joining new affiliated Heppner Garden Club) was read by Mrs. Lee Pettyjohn.
