The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, Feb. 24, 1977 FIVE with Justine Weatherford Congratulations to the King and Queen of Hearts, Jerry and Joyce Kay Hollomon. They were crowned at the Square Dancers' Valentine party at lone last Friday night. A good crowd from Heppner, the lone area and Hermiston was there to cheer for them and to have a fine evening. This Friday, Feb. 25, a bus loaded with Spray students and several teachers will come to Heppner during the day. They will tour the Kinzua Mill and the County Museum. Their teacher, Kirt Bell, phoned ahead to make arrangements. OUy About . Everyone was pleased that various rumors that flew around early last week about the health of County Judge Paul W. Jones were false that he just had a touch o flu and needed some extra rest wasn't hospitalized had no heart attack. i We heard a citizen who used the new south-county dump last Saturday say that about six boxes of books were dumped there recently. Too bad that they weren't passed on to some other readers if they were good if they were Hustler Magazines, we're glad they went to the dump. We have recently reported the arrival of two fellows from Wallowa County, John McConnell and Paul McCarthy. Now we have met two attractive girls who will soon come to live here Irom Walla Walla. They are Lea and Tracy Rush, whose father is manager of the Les Schwab Tire Center. Lea and Tracy like Heppner and are eager for the family to locate suitable housing. They will be coming over each weekend with their mother and staying during the week in their large home in Walla Walla until something adequate for the family turns up here. Several folks tried to rent rototillers over the weekend to get early starts on gardening, but found that none were available. Seems that the shops that will be renting them later just never expected such an early demand and do not have their machines overhauled and ready to go now. How thankful we are for the little spring rain we have had. It began to rain just as churchgoers were filing out last Sunday. Some of them think it proved the power of prayer. How we hope this state and neighboring states get much more moisture these next several months. Next Tuesday, we move into a new month. Some people loved the two work-free Mondays of February. March should please pupils and teachers who will be out of classrooms from Mar. 18 until Mar. 28. Do you realize that before Julius Caeser reformed the calendar, the year ended with February. Romans purified themselves that month to prepare for festivals that started their new year on Mar. 1. Caesar moved the beginning of the year from March to January, making February the second month. If he hadn't made this change, we could be saying "Happy New Year" next Tuesday. Our dear Irish friends have their special wearing-o-the-green day on Thursday, Mar. 17.
