The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, September 8, 1977 THREE Lieuallen-Broun Wedding Aug:. 21 Cross, Nelson exchange vow with Justine Weatherford Vv.x Part of this column is being written on Labor Day. What do you know about this national holiday? Sure it is the last holiday before school begins. After I put out our home flag, I turned to my World Books to learn a few facts about the day, and I found much of interest to me. I didn't realize that Oregon was the first state to make it a legal holiday in 1887. Did you? I also found that this first Monday in September Holiday honoring working persons is celebrated in all of the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada, In Austrailia it is called Eight Hour Day and commemorates the successful struggle for a shorter working day. Downunder the celebration varies from state to state. In Europe Labor Day is May 1. President Grover Cleveland signed the bill making it a legal holiday in the U.S. in 1894. No matter what our age or our background each of us must have feelings about the things September holds many of them tied to school days. Most of us are present or past pupils or teachers and a few of us are present or past school bus drivers. Heppner's first school bus driver was Jerry Brosnan, the Butter Creek rancher. When he was 16 and of high-school age, his parents and their neighbors bought a bus and Jerry was its driver. He and his brother Joe and neighbors Earl Ayers and Gerald Swaggart puffed in toward town each morning. As these "big-high-school guys" came along toward town they picked up a couple of Kilkenny kids (where Colleen K. Greenup and family live now), several Hanna kids at the Hanna-Bennett Ranch, The Guy Boyer children at the C. Monagle Place (where the Matt Greenups are now), the Tom Beamer vounesters (where the Floyd Jones family is now) and the young Kenny group that rode their horses over there from Sand Hollow. Jerry Says Providence planned well that older lads lived the furthest out on the route and could gather up the younger grade-school small fry as they progressed toward town. The grade school children along Butter Creek were attending Lena Grade School then only those on the town side of Jones hill came in to Heppner Schools on this first and several later buses. I asked Jerry and his mother Zetta what the first bus driver was paid. I learned that he got a few gifts of appreciation when he graduated but his big pay was just "experience." Now great-grandmother Zetta and grandparents Jerry and Marian see the five fourth-generation of Brosnans, the children of Ed and Lorraine, board the Butter Creek bus. How times have changed! One week after I learned about the first school bus driver Jeremiah Brosnan, son of John and grandson of Irish pioneer Jeremiah, I had a chat with the county's second bus driver, Gerald Swaggart, also of the Little Butter Creek area. Gerald said that after the students' families got the bus paid for, they began to pay the drivers. He recalls that he was paid $20 per month and that this big spending money led him into several bad, extravagant habits. Since my mind is on those drivers who made the Jones Hill, Lena and Franklin Hill run I am remembering a few I've known. Ray Ayers now lives in Pendleton but comes here often. I am amused by the Ayers' present address Ray and Kay live on Jay Street. Although Clint Agee was not a regular driver, he often substituted on that run. I thought we would be seeing him again this year, but have now learned that he will not be teaching in the county again but will teach at Camas, Wash. Several other bus items I've just learned concern, first, our former editor and Heppner swim pool director, Tom Franks. Tom started driving the North Lexington bus this week. Next, I understand that Rev. Duane Geyer will be chauffering the bus run I know best which my husband Bill has driven for the last five years. Well, enough about bussing. It seems to me that this is one of the quietest days of the year in our town. Sort of a lull before the storm of fall activities get in full swing with the school year's start and with dozens of organizational meetings set to begin their yearly schedules. Ferebees celebrate golden anniversary Rev. and Mrs. Earl Soward, Lexington, attended the gold- ed wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Alva Ferebee at Eugene, Aug. 28.
