Court voted top
On to bigger things for Princess Deborah
honors at Elgin
With a sweeping a long blond hair over her shoulder,
Morrow County Fair Court Princess Deborah Palmer enters
the living room of her family's home near lone with blue eyes
shining and a smile full of vivacity.
It's a Saturday morning getting warm already outside
and a partial day off for Deb, the name carried on her silver
and gold inlaid belt. With the family caught up in the hustle of
harvest she would ordinarily have been out in the field with
her twin, Donna, who is also a princess on the 1977 Fair and
Rodeo Court, driving truck for her father while the combines
reaped a meager yield.
Deborah notes that she just finished changing sprinkler
pipes with her mother and during other times of the year
there is rye to be pulled and hay to be swathed and baled.
"We're a farm family without any boys so us girls pitch in
and help Dad get the work done," said Deborah, "we like it
that way."
Princess Deborah likes being the farmer's daughter but
she is also looking forward with enthusiasm to her life off the
farm.
Deb and Donna both will attend Blue Mountain Community
College this fall where they will study business marketing
and management.
"I think marketing and working with people would be a
great occupation and I think maybe down the line I'd like to

"I think the arrangement
will work out fine," Diehl said,
"The only drawback will be
the time spent away from our
families."
As for now, Diehl is content
to settle into his new home and
spend some time getting to
know the people and places of
Heppner..
Diehl has also joined the
staff of Pioneer Memorial
Hospital and the three doctors
alternate on hospital call.
"I think the care and
facilities here are much better
then you would find in most
communities of this size,"
Diehl said. "The hospital is
well-staffed and well-equiped
and there is a professional
administration to accomplish
positive things there."

get into fashion buying," said the pert five-foot, five-inch 17 ,
year old.
What does she do in her spare time? Well, there are 4-H
horse and sewing clubs of which she's been a member for
nine years, cooking for the family and "trying to get in a little
time riding my horse."
During her high school years at lone, Deborah was a JV
and varsity cheerleader, a member of pep club, GAA,
National Honor Society, swing choir and pep band.
At the present time Deb is breaking a colt which she hoped
to enter in competition at the fair that was before the little
beast had a run-in with some barbed wire.
Athletic by nature, Princess Deborah also enjoys both
water and snow skiing and likes to rope either individually
or as a team in rodeo. She also takes her turn through the
poles and around the barrels.
As to her being an ambassador of good will for Morrow
County this summer the Princess comments, "There's
nothing better than getting out and meeting simply hundreds
of people... traveling with the other girls on the court and
meeting royalty from other areas. I wouldn't pass up the
opportunity for anything."
Princess Deborah, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Palmer of lone, will be honored this Saturday night at a
dance with live music by Depot II. Music begins at 9 p.m. in
the Fair Pavilion.

Just when they thought a
well-deserved rest was com
ing their way, the Heppner
based Regional Suppression
crew found themselves back
on the plane and headed for
Utah to do battle with another
forest fire.
It was the third fire to which
to 20-man crew had been
dispatched in the past eight
days and this time the call to
duty came at 1:30 a.m. Such is
the life of the Supression Crew
members who remain on call
throughout the designated fire
season of June 13-October 15.
The Crew had previously
seen action July 7 and 8 at a
fire raging out of the Pomeroy
District on the North end of b
the Umatilla National Forest.
After coming back for a few
days, the crew left July 14 to
join 340 other fire fighters,
nine air tankers and four
helicopters fighting a fire in
Wenatchee, Wash.
Jim Lafferty is in charge of
the crew, which employes

duty, each of the members
undergoes two weeks of inten
sive fire fighting in early
June. To maintain their edge
during the season the crew
participates in an hour to an
hour and a half of exercises
every day and also piles brush
in the forest areas.
Although the past eight days
have been especially hectic
for the crew, Roy Skelton of
the Forest Service Office in
Heppner said this district has
reported only two fires for the
season, both of which were
lightning-caused fires this
'month.
Skelton said the district is
about "18 to 20 fires behind
usual" this year. He attribut
ed the reduction to the wet
lightning storms of the early
season which extinguished the
strikes before they could get
out of control.
