The Gaettf-Timrs, Heppner. Ore., Thursday. April 28, 1977 FIVE with Justine Weatherford The largest bridal shower that many have attended in Heppner was given by 12 friends for Susie French last week in St. Patrick's Hall. It took Susie and her helpers almost two hours to unwrap the many lovely gifts. If you have done any traveling, you really believe the facts about drought damage. Only where the huge sprinklers are at work does there seem to be growth taking place. Much of the landscape looks frightening. Tomorrow, April 29, is Arbor Day. This special day has been forgotten by much of the world, but is still remembered by Garden Club folk. At the lone Blue Mountain District meeting, brochures were passed out telling of Arbor Day. "Other holidays repose y About upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future," the first lines state. In Oregon, the last Friday in April is the day set aside, since 1872, for the planting of trees. "Arbor Day must be more than symbolism, more than a few hours of rededication to the principles of conservation. Americans are fast becoming aware that in dense, highly-populated areas, we must expend great efforts to recreate some aspects of the natural environment. Arbor Day plantings are a most effective means of achieving this important objective." I can recall when each year my elementary school had tree-planting ceremonies. Perhaps this practice needs reviving. We were thankful for the big drop in temperature that occurred between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning our porch thermometer went from over 85 to below 60. Sure hope some precipitation drops on our area this week, too. National Library Week is over and the Heppner Library is back to its five cents a day fine on overdue books. It was disappointing that so few of the very overdue books came back during the fine-free days. Greg Wheelhouse, son of Jan and Jay Wheelhouse, formerly of Heppner, will be one of the members of the Hermiston U.M.Y.F. folk choir which will perform at the Methodist Church Friday night. Plant lecturer visits Lexington Jerry Stickler, lecturer and i plant ecologist, U.S. Forest Service, La Grande, was the speaker at the Lexington Grange on Monday evening for their regular meeting. The slides were of wild flowers of the Blue Mountain area, with some of them taken in our local area. The Indians had many uses of these flowers and berries, 0 Lexington news. Delpha Jones i for medicinal and nutrition. S Bitterroot, named by Lewis : and Clark, was a great cold j medicine, and cooked tastes ' somewhat like our macaroni. These flowers were used mostly by the Nez Perce and Warm Springs Indians and a sack could be traded for a !good horse and even for a 'wife. The Klamath Indians jfound many uses for the lily ; it jis high in starch. Oregon 'Grape makes a delicious jelly, J and the juice was used to pour i over venison, taste wise and to tenderize steaks. Wild roses I had several different names from the various tribes; "Old J Lady stikum much" was one. i Jelly and tea were the main 8.. . j e lt t inings maae irom wis piani and they were used to combat colds, muscular pains and rheumatism. The petals of the I flowers were cooked and pre f pared, as a delicacy. Service Berries made good sauce to Jeat, cooked as jams and I jellies. The Camas Root was one thing that most all tribes ! used, and all parts of the plant .'were prepared one way or ? another, even to a batter from S the root. When cooked, it could be stored and used at later times. One of the most inter esting was the wild peony, which the Indians would pick and preserve the seeds; chew ing them and feeding them to the horses to make them run I faster. This was one of Chief f Joseph's interesting uses. The I Shoshone Indians were great I vegetarians and used many I plants to better their diets. (Stickler told of many other plants such as Goldenrod, I Chicory, Fireweed, Mustard, I Cattails, and of the ways their I seeds are transported from f one locality to another. Alfalfa t comes from Persia, where 3 almost all parts of the plant ; are used for food. Mr. Stickler will return to the Lexington Grange in Octo- .5 1 ber, at which time he will give a follow-up of this program, only speaking more on the poisonous plants. The pro gram was arranged by the Lexington Grange Lecturer Pat Wright. Mr. and Mrs. Norman Nelson and Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Jones attended the Blossom Festival at Hood River on 989-8189 Sunday and enjoyed a side trip to Lost Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Pal mer were Ukiah visitors on Sunday.
