islX The Gaiette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, Feb. 3, 1977 Around with Justine Weatherford Ei Many persons remarked about the scarlet anthuriums on display at the hospital, ia the library-museum, and at the Methodist Church. y These unusual Hawaiian flowers were flown to Lesley patching as a gift from her parents, the Walter Belts, of i Newport, who were enjoying a fine Hawaiian vacation as we : were shivering here. Lesley generously shared her gift with friends about town. "Anthurium" comes from two Greek words meaning 'flower" and "tail." W you keep up with best seller lists, you are aware that TRINITY and ROOTS have been at the top of these lists for quite a few months. Both of these outstanding books are now on loan from the Heppner Library. Heppner High School is seeming more cosmopolitan again now that the handsome Navajo Robert Henry is back in classes. Bob works at the mill swing shift and goes off to school in the morning. We hope he can keep this up. . Didn't you enjoy the one-act plays last Saturday night? Some of the performers might have future fame via the stage or T.V. Judy Farley really held everyone's attention during her "hanging" act. Charlie Rawlins has many talents but since when did he become a drummer? Bob Miller was outstanding as a husband and father. Scott Groshens made a most romantic-looking Mexican. Everyone who took part in the four plays was very good. Are you looking through garden catalogs these chilly evenings? Do you suppose we will have any water to use on our gardens next summer? The two holidays this month make February the favorite month for lots of folks. No school, no city or county business conducted Feb. 7 or 21; except that the ever-faithful law-enforcement departments of both the city and county will be on duty as always. Elaine George just told me that her 15-year-old Queenie was killed about 10 days ago. Most of us remember the years when Queenie "helped" Elaine at her work in Heppner's City Hall.
