EIGHT The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, July 21,
It was good to see such a wide representation from
Heppner and the surrounding area at last Thursday night's
Town Meeting. Representatives of government agencies and
assorted private citizens seemed to be exchanging facts and
feelings and hopefully progressing toward reasonable
recommendations to be sent on to Salem and Washington,
DC.
Several remarked that they think this open meeting was a
good way to bring the national welfare policy into focus
although our rural situation differs tremendously from the
urban slums where welfare has been the only way of life for
many for generation after generation. Pat Brindle, Cathy
Peck and others are commended for their skill in arranging
the meeting.
Much concern is being felt and expressed over the
hospitalization of Amanda Duvall and Freida Majeske.
Two single,"not-even-engaged", young women have come
from Portland to make their new homes in Heppner. Patti
Ralston and Annette Snider will be assisting Heppner's new
dentist, Dr. Hazen, in the Dental Clinic up on Hospital Hill.
As Patti and Annette were looking around their new
community they toured the museum and the library and
blended in with the Y.C.C. persons who usually come there on
Thursday evenings.
Martha King, who helps with many causes, is among the
volunteers who are now operating the library during the 10
hours it is open to the general public. Most of them have been
scheduled for two hours duty every other week by the
volunteer coordinator Mary Pat Lande.
Several weeks ago, Oregon's very famous pet coyote
"Kelpie" was in Heppner visiting animal lover Lois
Winchester at her shop. Lois reports that he looked scrawny
and scared and that his loving family, Cheryl Moore and two
of her children, were comforting him as they traveled on to
their Spray home. Mrs. Moore is a special friend of Lois and
wanted her to see how poor Kelpie looked after his long
imprisonment.
There is no pet census for our county, but recently I've
wondered if we don't have as many animals as people. Many
kittens and puppies and their parents have been pleasing and
teaching children and worrying some adults.
We enjoy seeing horses and their riders about town
these summer evenings. As we drove out to Butter Creek last
week we were fascinated by the graceful colts among the
horses near the Don Greenup home.
Quite a few townpeople are strolling around during the
evening hours. We've noticed grandparents Bob and Sue
Jones and their daughter out strolling and letting the little
Hedman-Jones grandchild get acquainted with this town
where Bobette and Dale have returned to live since Dale
completed his army duty.
It is so good to see Edda Mae Lovgren.who has had a long
illness, being able to walk around outside again. She says she
is gradually building up the distance she can stroll.
Last weekend saw more family reunions here. The largest
must have been the McDaniel Family gathering at Anson
Wright Park. We hear that Theta and Bob Lowe, who are at
Cutsforth Park these summer Sundays, were meeting with
Theta 's three sisters and friends there.
Lorena and Bob Shuman had a good-sized family gathering
last weekend at their home where friends joined them to help
celebrate the marriage of the Shuman's daughter Jeanne.
. Next Thursday evening the public is invited to the County
Museum for some craft demonstrations. It is good to know
that the large room there is going to be used for an
educational event. 'The museum is one of the area's
outstanding educational institutions and welcomes more
public usage.
Mrs. Carey Hastings and Mrs. Larry Cook spent a week
recently visiting in the valley.
Mrs. Hastings visited her daughter and family Mr. and
Mrs. Roger Connor at Forest Grove, while Mrs. Cook visited
the Perry Adams family in McMinnville. While there, Mrs.
Hastings spent a very enjoyable outing at the beach with the
Connors and their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Gamel.
While in the vicinity, Mrs. Cook renewed an old
acquaintence with Mr. and Mrs. Bud Catherman who have
lived in McMinnville for many years.
