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.

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.

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

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."

By Julie Nelson
Wednesday, Jan. 14. in the
social room of the United
Church of Christ. 11 members
of the lone Garden Club and
their 18 guests look a slide
picture tour of "Historical Old
Mass," with Helen and Fred
Martin narrating the trip. 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:

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.
