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. Spray, the Sid Britts

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. I wish
Ihem and all the others like
them who are looking for
summer jobs a lot of luck.
Mrs. Betty Larangal re
turned home from Richland,
W.l Saturday. She had spent
the last week in Richland
where she was called by the
serious illness of her father,
Mr. Claude Locke. Mr. Locke
is still very weak but is much
improved and is now at home
again.
