with Justine Weatherford For several weeks, flowering trees, blooming daffodils and gay tulips have cheered winter-weary folk. Especially cheerful are the scarlet tulips in front of the Bank of Eastern Oregon and along the sidewalk at the Rawlins' home on Gilmore St. Main St. shop windows are gay, too, with new spring merchandise. Some home gardeners have been busy thinning and pruning their raspberries and working animal enrichment into gardens. With recent warm sunshine, watering is going to be needed by the rapidly growing plants soon. The Extension office can tell people how to get the most benefit from the least water. Did you realize that the big infant of communication media became 50 years old last week? The first picture was y About vr transmitted from Washington, D.C. to New York City (200 miles) in April 1927. T.V. became coast-to-coast in 1951 ; color pictures were born in 1957; the Telstar was launched in 1962; pictures were transmitted from the moon in 1969; and we are now assured that picture telephones, which are being used some already, will come into every home in the future. I'll sure have to get my hair fixed better, then. When Helen Proudfoot and other lone Topic Club ladies entertained the Heppner Bookworms, the guests had a hard time getting away to get to their homes in time to fix family suppers. Helen's recordings of opera singer Beverly Sills, and Helen's review of "Bubbles," a recent book by the singer, were so completely fascinating. As cattle were moved through Heppner last Friday by Rancher Floyd Jones, we were thinking that not many residents of many towns see cattle driven on Main St. in 1977. Every spring, the Jones' cattle come down S. Court, turn west on May St. and move south on Main St. out to spring pastures. The voting on the Heppner city budget went down because four voters chose "no" over "yes." Pretty close! Again, we stress, your vote is important! Another reminder, take your Sara Lee baked goods labels to the public library. They could purchase new children's books.
