As Lynnea Sargent said "let's mention the ones that are still up and running." It must have seemed like a nightmare to Coetta Debraal last Thursday evening when a crashing sound woke her from her sleep. Her investigation led her to follow a breeze coming from one of her son's bedroom. A tree had crashed through the wall, knocking the dresser to the other side of the room. No-one was hurt, but Coetta spent the rest of the night sleepless. Rose Bergstrom is back to work after being home for a week recovering from sur gery.

I do believe that one father in our fair city has finally come upon a sure fire method of getting his teenage daught er and her friends off the phone It's called the "count down self destructor." He simply takes the phone from his lovely daughter's hand and announces, "This phone will self destruct in 10 seconds and starts the count down, 10-9-8." Does it work all the time John? Two fires this week. Ernie and I followed the fire truck out to Luke Bibby's place, but the over-heated trash burner was under control by the time we arrived. The second one was spotted by Chief of Police Dean Gilman while he was making his rounds. The roof of Verlin Mathew's home had caught fire from sparks com - ing out of the chimney. There was only minor damage done by both fires. 4, 1976 Line With women's lib being what it is, if I was a little girl now, I would want to grow up to be a firewoman. Really, can you gals imagine what we have missed by now being able to wish dreams such as those . . . But now for the serious side . Well, I was being serious before, now we women are suppose to be the superiors in the kitchen. With Easter com ing and all the Easter baking that will transpire between now and then, I would like to have all of you share your favorite recipes with our readers. Even if it is an easy way to make a gravy or sauce to the triple tiered cake, your families favorite casserole or pie. Drop them by the office or mail them to me. I met Frieda Majeske on the street yesterday and she was headed for the doctor's office. Just for her medical checkup, but she still had the gleam in her eye, when she talked of her trip to Hawaii. We are with you Frieda, let's go. Overheard: "I wish I didn't have to go to the doctor when I am so sick, I must look awful." Did you know that the dead line for filing for a county public office is March 16? So far the response is not great, there has not been a long line forming at the county clerk's office. Is our apathetic atti tude going to remain the same? If you don't like the way the county is being mana ged, now is the time to speak up. If running for office is not your cup of tea, at least be a registered voter, as April 24 is the last day to register, to be able to vote for the candidate of your choice on May 25. Every afternoon the phone rings and a little girl's voice asks "Is my mommy there?" ' Of course we know to whom the voice belongs, it's Eileen's daughter. Last week, when Eileen was in Pendleton for the day, we received the same call, when we informed Mich ele that her mommy was not here, there was a long pause and then she asked, "Where is she?" We said in Pendleton. "Oh", she said "I forgot." Habits are hard to break'. Those kind we hope never are. Taking over the lease on the Mobile Service Station is Cliff Reed. Cliff is a former resident of Ontario, OR. His son and wife, Rick and Mary Reed, Ontario, will join him this week. Rick will work at the station with his father.

Before purchas ing the tavern, Frank worked as a maintenance man at the saw mill. Adding Hazels comments about this, "I had never been In a tavern before, but with Frank spending to much time playing pinochle there, buying the tavern seemed a good move." With Frank and Hazel'i foresight of what a tavern should be, Frank's managing and Bas el's good cooking, Hamllna Tavern was a very successful venture for them. They owned the tavern for 17 years before they sold it. Frank was not ready for retirement and opened a business cajled Barrett Lum ber Sales. Leaving the lumber business when the tavern was closed, Frank reopened the tavern. He resold the tavern about five years ago, this time retiring for good.
