SIX The r.azptte-Times, Heppner. Ore.. Thursday, May 12, l!)77 y About V with Justine Weatherford Hail, bounteous May, that doth inspire Mirth, and youth, and warm desire; Woods and groves are of thy dressing, Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing. ' John Milton, England's great, blind poet wrote those lines 1 in the 17th century. Aren't they appropriate? Have you read ; other lines surpassing Milton's? As May began, we hope you received a May Day basket. We don't think you saw many Maypole dancers. Mother's Day this year came on the earliest date it could possibly come. It is officially set for the second Sunday of May, and May 1 was a Sunday. Did you notice many flags flying? ' Mother's Day is the first of May's three "flag days." Maybe more flags will be out a week from next Saturday, ' May 21, which is Armed Forces Day. In Heppner, it is also ' the Methodist Lawn Sale Day, but as important as that event is, it hasn't yet become an official flag day. We expect the greatest flag flying of the month on May 30, Memorial or Decoration Day. Protocol says that on that day, flags are to be at half-staff until noon and then full-height. That is the day after the annual Pioneer Picnic at the County Fairgrounds. 34ti ..taw ..lif4-. "it- May is a super month for sporting events, with the Kentucky Derby, the Indianapolis 500, the Portland Trailblazers competing in their second playoff series, spring school sports terminating in state contests, and the Morrow County Little League going strong. Graduation Days come soon in this area. It is always exciting, but rather sad, to have young people released from schools to go off to face much greater problems. We all know the real wealth of our nation is its youth. We always wish them well ; we always hope they will come back to their roots occasionally and will remember favorably the community where they spent their youthful days. I We believe that Heppner's Main Street Park is getting more use this year than it has ever had. We wonder if and -when the already dedicated Hager Park will get shaped up so that it can be enjoyed? Our recent rains may, unfortunately, have been a little late $o really help some county crops, but my, how they brought up the weeds around our flower beds and vegetable garden. We know that the rains brought relief to soon-to-be-retired Heppner District Ranger Sam Miller and his forest-protecting crews. Surely the start of what may be a big forest fire Reason was set back considerably. Way back, we all hope.
