The (;azette-TiniPS. Heppner, Ore., Thursday. April 21, 1977 FIVE with Justine Weatherford Several rites of spring were crossed off the calendar since our last issue. A huge sigh of relief rose as the April 15 income tax deadline passed. Many local payers and the expert computers Carl Spaulding, Elaine George, Helen O'Donnell and the attorneys' offices can find more time for other things for 11 months now. Much more pleasing rites were the two weddings here last Saturday. At two o'clock, John Currin and Janet McCurdy were wed in Hope Lutheran Church, and at four o'clock some of the same guests went to the Methodist Church to witness the vows of Barbara McCarl and Dan Coiner. Large receptions for both couples followed at the Elks' Club. The Currins were congratulated on the first floor and the Coiners were cheered upstairs. Three of the four newlyweds went to public schools here only Dan Coiner is a newcomer. Track, baseball and golf competition is big now. It was exciting to hear that both Heppner and lone high schools did ',""""Lm M" ,LIJ,,L"' 'Jl"1-"1"'"' """UI"JIM" '''""'""""' " ' ' " About l frtm0w well at Saturday's 17-school track meet at Riverside. Seems that track expert, bus driver Bill Weatherford, was most impressed with the girl stars. We hear that an unusual rite took place in Heppner. Some "Moonies," young persons thought to be affiliated with the well-publicized Unification Church of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, were reported to have visited many business establishments selling peanut candy. We heard that Police Chief Gilman encouraged the disciples to move along, out of town. We wonder if their organization uses Carter peanuts? The Beta Omega Spring Cotillion drew a good crowd to Ione's Legion Hall Saturday evening. The proceeds will aid the fire department there. The decorating committee prepared well, the music was dandy and the midnight buffet a big feature. Unfortunately, the Heppner Swim Team supporters' rummage sale at the Fairgrounds did not do as well as last year. Not as many bargain hunters. The last rite we feel like mentioning is a weekly thing that will go on until about October the mowing of lawns has begun. At least this chore will continue until we all get orders to stop watering the grass, then we suppose it will turn brown and stop growing. There is only today through Saturday left in the no-fines celebration of National Library Week at the Heppner Library. What a good time to bring back those overdue books.
