TK The Gazette-Times. Heppner. Ore., Thursday, June Ifi, 177 About with Justine Wcatherford I have been trying to do a little serious, but belated, spring house and garage cleaning, and I am again considering what a great system marriage is especially for some males. Why do menfolk keep the things they keep for years and years? As we moved three times within four years (all right here in Morrow County), I found it just didn't make sense to unbox lots of stuff. Last week 1 finally got around to some box openings. Of course, the necessities of life, those important things I've collected, are so reasonable and worthwhile. But why have we kept moving those boxes of HIS old stuff? I wonder if any other couples have similar problems? As I recall our last several moves, whenever I'd ask my husband what to do about certain gear, his stock reply was, "Take it to the dump" except for those boxes of HIS things, which we moved and moved. So, in a rush to get ahead of summer visitors, last week as the temperature shot up, our fireplace kept us even warmer when I was granted HIS permission to burn a large per cent of his marvelous collection of cancelled checks, mementos and memorabilia. Ah, now there will be a little more room around our place for significant things like I collect. My burning wasn't quite completed when a cousin from California came by but observing my situation, he kindly stayed very briefly and moved on to Pasco. A good letter from the travellers Eleanor and Ed Gonty tells us of their visits in North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. Their son Doug is travelling with them as they move along east to his port of embarcation for continued Army duty in Europe. Son Tom, who went as far as N. Dakota, came home to care for the home place. Eleanor writes, "Don't let anyone tell you that retired people can travel and live as cheaply as at home. I think we should keep going hate to face the gas bills." (The Gontys travel in luxury in a new motor home which could be guzzling considerable gas.) Her letter continues to say that living seems higher in the Midwest. A point of interest is, "Teachers here aren't hired on yearly contracts, or given one. At the end of the year they are fired and may be re-hired in the fall." Did you all enjoy those great TV pictures from London? Long live Elizabeth Regina! Another TV gem I happened to catch as I was ironing, was Annie (Little Orphan) singing to her dog-friend Sandy. She sang "Tomorrow" which is a hit from the current Broadway musical. It made me think of Tom Franks, and I wondered if he realizes that the title of his column is being made famous. l ast weekend I went to Portland to pick up a ten-year-old grandson, Scott Haberlach, from the Seattle area, who will be with us until June 27 or 28. Scott and I enjoyed the great Saturday parade of the Rose Festival, the first I have seen in person for years. Maybe lively Scotty will bring a new, youthful prospective to our aging Weatherford lives. We aren't at all accustomed anymore to living with a pre-teener. Mrs. Alena Anderson returned from two weeks visiting in Portland with her daughters, Dee Martin and Nancy Parent and four granddaughters. Dee took her mother to Portland after a Memorial weekend visit here. Nancy brought her mother home last weekend. Alena attended two high school graduations: her granddaughter, Lisa Parent, was graduated by Oregon City High School and granddaughter Suzanne Martin was graduated by Wilson High School in Portland. Mrs. Doris Cutting, now of Coquille, will be a guest in the home of Ida Farra here next week. Doris and her husband, Rev. Edwin Cutting, were with the Heppner United Methodist Church before they were assigned to the church at Coquille. Doris has many friends in this county and in the Echo community, where she and Mr. Cutting also served the United Methodist Church.

Bike ride nets $$$ With sore seats and tired legs more then 45 riders participating in ESA's Million-Dollar-Bike-Ride pedaled the last few feet of the 22-mile trek to help raise funds for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.. But it all seemed worthwhile as volunteers learned from Bike Ride Chairman Ellen Kennedy that their efforts had raised more than $1,700. "We were so pleased with the turn out and response of the people," Mrs. Kennedy, said. She mentioned people like Jame Launer, who volunteered his services, and Marlene Gray, who ar rived at checkpoint No. 2 with water just in time so none left thirsty. All the riders are now out collecting the money pledged. Any questions or further donations should be directed to Ellen Kennedy 676-9708. the Australian culture and al though she won't be attending school, she plans to visit, sightsee, and learn as much about the country as she can.
