Page 4, THE GAZETTE-TIMES, n . any In the letters to the editor column this week is letter which will explain the 1903 column. This rare 1902 special edition of the Heppner Gazette was printed to give the outside world brief and reliable statement of the resources, advantages and actual condi tions now existing and to show that Morrow County is worthy of at least an investigation by people who are looking to the west for homes. We received a telphone call this week from Pacific NW Bell informing us that as of January 26, the one and two party telephone customers in this area will be put on direct dialing. No longer will we be able to hear "number please", when we place a long distance call. I've enjoyed the conven ience of placing a long distance call from anywhere in the Heppner area and when the operator has asked for my number, I could give mine, without an extra charge. Friday evening, the Jerry Jones were given a no-host farewell dinner party at the Elks Lodge. They were pre sented a silver tray with ac cessories. The cake was deco rated in the motif of their move with a U-Haul truck fully loaded and pulling their little orange car behind. The sign on the cake pointed to Creswell, where the Jones family moved to early Satur day morning. This past week, the false spring we have all enjoyed, was enough to watch the attitudes of people. Cheerful greetings came quicker. Golf was back in full swing. Just a small reminder, that spring is not too far away. Although looking out the window now, I see frozen fog falling and wonder.

Lebush The ihoDDe that keeps Heppner, OR, Thursday, Jan. 22, 1976 Heppner High Jim Barratt was toasted and roasted last Saturday evening in Corvallis, to honor his retirement as athletic director of Oregon State University. The crowd of over 500 people who gathered to pay tribute to Jim and Dorothea also contri buted to an OSU endowment scholarship in Jim's name. The Master of Ceremonies, Dee Andos, was calling the plays. All of the roasters were good, including Jim's brother Bill, a banker from Spokane; Norbert Peavy from Sacra mento, son of former OSU president, George Peavy, and one-time teacher of Jim's in Heppner High School. Kingsly Chapin Slyter, an old time school chum was good at getting some quick digs at Jim. The Barratts held up under it all. After 25 years in Corvallis, they learned how Gladys Cowdry, Stayton, is visiting with Alta Cutsforth, before leaving for Missouri to visit her mother, who will be celebrating her 84th birthday this year. Dennis, would you please learn the combination to your postal box . . . perhaps some day you will need the mail and no one will be in the post office to hand you the mail. Besides, you've had three years to learn the combination. Always use a hot knife for cutting fresh bread, a wet knife for cutting soft cake and a knife dipped into cold water for meringue pie. Then there is this tip, to keep your cake fresh longer, place a piece of apple pie in the container with the cake. Just one thing, the apple pie will disappear first. fa) on sale. Shoppe prices where Line A Ii cast begins play Casting has already been done, and the play "The Great Big Door Step" is well on its way. The play, written by Fran ces Goodrich, and Albert Hackett is a comedy in three acts. It begins shortly after they find a great big door step floating in the Mississippi River. The rest of the play shows the schemes the Cro chet family goes through to find a house to match their steps. "I think it's going to be a really good play," commented Co-director Ellen Nussbaum. Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 18-19 are the set dates for the play. The reason it is being held in the middle of the week is because they want a good turn out and they don't think they could with basketball games on the weekend. Jane Rawlins had selected the play that consists of seven girl and five boy parts. They are: Evvie, Krynn Robinson; Topal, Suzanne Cutsforth; Elna, Tami Toll; Fleece, Marie Yocom; Mrs. Crochet, Judy Ledbetter; Arthur, Jeff Fortenberry; Commodore Charlie Tawlins; Mrs. Dupre, Karen Winter; Tayo, Mark Parker; Dewey, Scott Mc Ewen; Mrs. Beaumont Cro chet, Kathy Marshall; Tobin, Chris Rauch, Student Direc tor.

Umatilla County Li brarian John Switzer arrang ed an interesting and educa tional program for the school and public librarians , from Umatilla and Morrow Coun ties who attended. Debbie Lee presented an illustrated talk on the func tions of the Oregon State Ex tension Division and Shirley Conklin talked about the Pendleton Community School. Dr. Richard Johnston ,gf the Eastern Oregon State Hospital instructed the group in inter viewing techniques. He and Mrs. Johnston used closed circuit television to play back some mock interviews staged by attending librarians who acted out their usual roles and also portrayed some library patrons who brought them varying problems. Tahitian shells on display A display of shells from Tahiti has been arranged at the Heppner Library by Vivi ane and Brian Maxwell. Most, of the shells have been made into necklaces. The necklaces are of unusual designs and are of a variety of shapes and colors. Alon". with the fifteen neck laces, the Maxwells have also loaned the library a pair of vases made of small shells and a colorful lamp made from larger shells. 674 - L 1: Library News The regular, fourth-Thursday. January meeting of the Heppner Library board will be held tonight in the new Child ren's Room of the library at 8 p.m. These monthly meetings are open to the public.

The board will soon be preparing a budget to submit to the city council for appro val. Library plans and growth and regular business will be considered. McMillan book at library Sam G. McMillan, Portland, has sent a copy of his latest book, "The Gathering of the Clan" to the Heppner Public Library. This 99 page book was published in December, 1975. McMillan says, "It was written as a family history for the reading pleasure of family members, however, I am sure others will be interested in its contents." The librarian recommends this book especially to anyone of Scotch lineage. The intro ductory chapters present a fine description of early Scot ch clans and then offers an unusual chronicle of the Scots who moved into Ireland and who are the real Scotch-Irish forefathers of the McMillan Clan, a part of which came early to America. Many of them fought in the Revolution. They lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee and final ly many came to Lexington, Oregon. Mrs. Weatherford says, "Sam has skillfully presented his family, their friends and the public with an interesting, new historical book."

This was in keeping with the club's Bicentennial program. Our first stop was the lovely home of the Martin's host and hostesses, Captain and Mrs. Roy Belcher, South Walpole. MA. Many of the old furnish ings of this 1770 home have been restored. There is a fire place in every room and many marble topped tables. Even the curbstone in front of the home was marble. Here we had a view of one of the first water closets (toilets). At Plymouth we looked for footprints on the famous Ply mouth Rock where the pil grims landed in 1620. In the harbor was a replica of the Mavflower II which Helen and Fred toured. Helen's com ments were: "the pilgrims must have been very small people, as we were unable to stand upright in the living quarters of the ship." The ship was very narrow and seemed top heavy. How brave the people of 1620 must have been to have made a sea voyage in such a vessel We visited a replica of the first house in Plymouth with its weathered boards and thatched roof. Beside the house was a herb garden enclosed by a weathered board fence. On to Boston where we walked "The Freedom Trail" which was a red painted line on the sidewalk passing the different historical spots in Boston. First on the trail was the "New" state house built in 1795. We also visited the grave of Paul Revere in the Old Church Graveyard in down town Boston. Next we walked to the Old South Church where the Boston Tea Party was planned. The Old Corner Book Store proved inique in the fact that it was completely open on the street. Concord was our next stop at the battle site of 1775 with the Minutemen and the British Soldiers. Here are monuments to the victorious colonial far mers and also to the defeated British soldiers. Stopping along the way we visited the homes of famous writers: Phones: (Groc.) 676-9614, iMeat) 676-9288 Prices effective Jan. 23-24 January TASTEVVELL oleo margarine 3.- $1.00 Red leaf & Romalne lettuce 2 heads for 490 APPLES " red or eolden 5 - $1.00 1 CHECK WITH US ON OUR LOW LOW CASE PRICES Margaret Sidney. Louisa M. Alcott, Emerson and Haw-, thorne. Coming home to Oregon we found even more history and nostalgia with the Bicenten nial Wagon Train at Cecil. One of our guests commented that she had seen the wagon train in the middle states later in the year and the people on the train said they would never forget the Cecil, Oregon stop as it was "The Best." We stopped in lone on the comer of third and B streets and looked at the beautiful! Austrian Copper Rose with the old J. A. Woolery house in the background. The rose is listed before 15iM) and its origin is Peru. The Copper rose is even older than the old fashioned yellow Harrison Rose which we found standing on the dike near the railroad trestle southwest of the Marion Palmer home at the junction of Willow and Khea Creeks. These roses were planted by Edith Nichoson's mother. Mrs. Amanuel Petteys. This is the yellow rose that came west with the pioneers and must have been very hardy to have withstood the heat and cold of this area as is testified by its existence yet today. This jun ction is the original site of Petteysville" where Edith Nichoson's folks lived and here are the two bur oak trees that her father had planted in 1870, still in very good condition-producing acorns and lovely leaves every year. South of the trestle is the old quarry site where the rocks were cut and hauled to Heppner to build the building that is now Murrays Drug Store. Going up Rhea Creek to the former home of Joseph Mason (present owners Rod and Mark Murray) stands the two black walnut trees planted in 1871 by Mr. .Mason. Here also was the first brick house in the county built from bricks dug and fired on the place. The next meeting will be at Thelina Lings with Judy Osmni as co-hostess Anetta Klinger will speak on roses for your garden. Karen (nee Nelson LaYoie. Pendleton, was surprised with an early birthday celebration Monday Showing up for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs Fred Nelson, Jr . the Kenneth Nelsons and girls. Chuck Nel son and Janet Krieger.
