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.
