The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday June 30, 1977 THREE Eastern Star donates At the annual Grand Chapter Session of the Order of the Eastern Star held June 21 in Portland, a check for $32,000 was presented to the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center to be used for cancer research. Heppner's Ruth Locust Chap ter No. 32 was part of the District Four grouping, which along with Umatilla, Loyalty, Oregon Trail, Queen Esther, Bushee and Purple Sage helped to raise $621 toward the fund. V with Justine Weatherford - .' M . I t , A ' I AX Maybe it takes visitors to make one appreciate one's home community.. .Our guests from uj) Seattle way this last weekend, most of whom had not seen Heppner or this county before, were so enthusiastic about the area. "The forests, the lakes, the great open spaces and the Columbia River, too!. ..We sure like the feel of this town. Things seem to grow well here. there are lots of nice homes." They also commented on our pleasing churches, on the hospital building and the fine looking high school. "People here must be proud of their past that little schoolhouse in the park is a dandy shrine... your county museum is a really great surprise." I, for one, never get tired of hearing such remarks. I did, however, feel apologetic as I led these guests from the museum to the schoolhouse and found paper sacks, milkshake glasses, potato-chip bags, candy wrappers, crumpled cigarette packs and other miscellaneous litter all around the Democrat Gulch School. Looking over to the back steps of the Library-Museum Building we could see what seemed to be a special garbage dumping place. Those back steps have long encouraged misbehavior. (It occured to me that most of the fine first, second and third graders from Heppner Elementary' School must be away visiting their grandparents somewhere, because they are our town's best litter gatherers. The Garden Club ladies who conducted a "Litter Awareness" campaign in their rooms last spring saw them collect so much litter that Clifford Green had to make a special Friday afternoon run to haul it all to the dump.) As we drove about, our visitors observed our city policeman patroling the streets. They remarked, "Surely there isn't much crime here? Why must there be a patrolman on duty on Sunday afternoon?" This matter is something I've thought about, too. Perhaps by keeping up constant patroling we keep crime down surely that is the theory. I didn't want to tell the visitors that articles have been taken from our yard and from the yards of our friends. I did not say how disgusted we were last December when we kept replacing outside Christmas light bulbs as they were taken right off our porch several times. I recalled the flag stealing that took place at the ' fairgrounds and didn't mention that sad affair because I hope such vandalism is past. But as the rememberance of "bad" incidents flashed through my mind I began to feel that even though this seems a lovely, friendly, quiet place on a summer Sunday afternoon it is probably best that inspite of money problems at city hall that we try to keep our good policeman at their patroling. Oh for those "Good Old Days" when everybody knew and trusted everybody. Times when we never locked our doors, either home or car, and when we felt that everyone in the county was a personal, trusted friend. What has brought the change? Is it our growing population? Is it our lack of attractive, reasonably priced, available housing? Is it the matter of too many homes with working parents? Could the increasing number of "broken" families be the cause? Is it the fact that too few families attend churches and consider moral matters? Has T.V. violence, which many adults and many, many children watch for hour after hour, helped to stimulate a disregard for the Golden Rule. Where is this rule stressed? What ever the reason for our need for the policing we have here, which is minor compared to systems in larger communities isn't it too bad that we can't get away from this need? Isn't it sad that we can't spend public funds for constructive, uplifting projects and not need to check on one another constantly just to see that we behave like thoughtful, ' civilized humans? Oh dear, what a chain of thoughts our weekend visitors started. Garden Club meets in park Tuesday evening, June 21, members of the Heppner Gar Jen Club held their monthly meeting in the City Park. Mrs. Edwin Cutting (Doris) from Coquille, a past president of the ;roup, was a special guest. After a potluck picnic supper, tie out-going president, Jane Rawlins, conducted June bus ness and installed the officers "or the coming year. The group first considered the matter of arranging a club jooth at the fair, featuring the ;heme "Happiness Is." Ruth Penney was named to replace Barbara James on the fair booth committee as Barbara asked to be relieved due to her responsibilities with the junior group, the 4-H Garden Club. Planning for participation in the Friday, July 8, Sidewalk Sale took discussion time, next. It was agreed that the club would offer assorted plants, vases, fresh garden produce, and perhaps, garden-related baked foods. Eleanor Gonty will arrange for the selling location. Alberta Johannes, Theta Lowe and Justine Wcathcrford will be there to sell. President Rawlins conducted the installation of club officers and presented each with a bow-bedecked, shiny-new, gar den trowel. She stressed the responsibilities of each officer.

This delightful, historic event was begun some years ago as a Leathers Family reunion, but about four years ago it became a community reunion, hosted by the Howell Family for years and taken over by the McDaniel Family this year. Dallas McDaniel, Ivan Mc Daniel, Earl Cramer and two McDaniel-related guitarists provided music in the Old Opera House while dancers enjoyed both square and modern danc ing. A "food-galore" potluck noon dinner was served to the crowd in the dinning space of the ancient building on Hardman 's Main Street. Wayne Leathers was the day's Master of Ceremonies. The four genera tions of mostly ex-Hardmanites enjoyed their day of visiting and honoring their founding fathers. Folks came to Hardman from California, Washington and many parts of Oregon. ilMmmm W&mm WED. TUES. JST"te. t Vs. Tw, SAMUEL Z.
