May 6. 1976 Honor Student SPRAY NEWS F.lary Villicms icinzuA mm 3 By Barbara Pike C The Easter holiday found many on vacation or enjoying guests at their homes, and birthday entertaining has been prevalant in the com , munity the past week. Ruby Smith was hostess at her home April 20 at a birth day dinner honoring Jane Stirewalt. Present were Jane and Dave Stirewalt, Dave's dau ghter Vivian and sons Todd and Keith. His son and family, the Danny Stirewalts with Margaret Anne and David, Prineville, the Robert Kem mers, Oysterville, Jeannie Stirewalt and the hostess. The Bobby Fishers combin ed the holiday with' joining Rene's father, Gilbert Simp son on his birthday April 19 at Pendleton. All of the Simp son's children were present with their families, Rene, Jimmy, Nova and Dale. The Fishers enjoyed an Easter Sunday dinner a week early at the home of Bobby's mother, Juanita, April 11. Bob and Margaret Ashmead spent the Easter holiday in Ilwaco with friends and with their daughter and her family, the Lyle Rillings, Jefferson. Kasey returned with her grandparents and the Rillings arrived April 23 to be with Mrs. Rillings father on his birthday. Another birthday-Easter combination was enjoyed at the Jack Jenkins home when Laurie, daughter of Fred Jenkins celebrated her 10th birthday. Others present were Fred and the other members of his family, Neil and Elsie Balen and children, Prine ville; Mary and Jimmy Jen kins, Bend; Edna Bailey and Bob Blue, Heppner. Now, the Dee Davis Easter story. All about the Davis' Golden Sex Links chickens, one of the hens presenting them, Easter morning, with an egg measuring 8 inches around, lengthwise by 6' inches. (One is inclined to put, their faith in the Easter bunny .'after all.) These chickens,, something new here, are a combination of nine breeds, creating this strain. The Davis' sixteen hens j produce sixteen eggs daily. These hens go all out for women's lib, never interrupt ing their schedule with time out for "setting" but leaving that lovely chore to the ducks, bantams and other barn yard fowl. Another novelty at the Davis' is a nest of Scissor Tails, cozily domiciled atop a light fixture at the back door of the Davis' local restaurant. Lastly, I spent the Easter vacation and joined in birth day festivities for my great granddaughter, Shawn, at the homes of my granddaughter and daughter, the Sid Britts and Al Wileys, Echo, and at tended an unusual and enjoy able Easter morning service there. Sid delivered the Easter message. Randy led the song service, Dixie Dawn Wiley played the piano, the children gave their individual versions of the meaning of Easter and led the prayer service. The offering was put aside and given to their home church the following Sunday. Later in the day other family members joined the group for dinner and the remainder of the day. A "rodeo" In the afternoon saw the little folks competing in different events, cut down to . size, the wild "cow" milking with pet sheep, the ewes putting forth much fun. not much milk. Dads pitted their skills Against those of their sons in team roping, bull dogging, and other events. And at the ball game following, "Grandma at the Bat", In the person of Sdma Adams, was the high light, not only of the ball game, the entire day, scoring a home run to the wild cheers of (h f rnj Mds. f Babe R. didn't stir a bit on that one he never will. (And why are the small things the shattering ones? In the midst of the "rodeo" my glance was down to one small girl, age 4. sitting on the top rail under a cowboy hat much beyond her tit and years, complete with feather. So Intent was she, on the action, that she had presumably forgotten to expectorate and "snon juice" dripped on her fhin. End of story? No. But discovery by mother was almost the end of everything. Present for this day to be remembered were 26 people, four generations, and included the Rod Pietilas, Portland; Selma and Jim Adams, the LeRoy Britts and Rod Britts, all of Pilot Rock; Mimi Williams.

JONF.S It's time to put away the snowboots and get out the sandals because it's spring. At least that is the impression I got when I spoke to Rose Hardwick at Hardwick Log ging Monday. The Hardwick crew of fallers went back to the woods last Thursday to open the 1976. logging season. Monday the company sent their loaders and skiders out to work. Now it is hoped that the weather will cooperate for a long and busy logging season. If spring is here then its not long until summer vacation and annual job hunt by high school and college students. Getting a bit of a head start last Friday was Rick O'Neal and Rick Paullus. Accompan ied by Mrs. Betty O'Neal, the two boys went on a round of ( likely places in Heppner, Condon and Fossil.
