0 -Af Hitjp&tfp.-jp-' 'J' P 0 0- 0 I The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, October 20, 1977 FIVE with .liis(in Wealherford ) Ye Olde London Bus, Book shop and Boutique, brought a whiff of Piccadilly Circus into Heppner when it arrived last Saturday night. The red double-decker parked on the "old Ford Garage" comer at Main and May streets. It was closed to the public Sunday but many people noticed it and were anxious to get inside and to climb its curved stairway and to perhaps buy some of the Christian books, records, tapes and other items is stocks. It was scheduled to be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The above reference to Piccadilly Circus may seem strange. That is the name of a place in downtown London with an open, paved area where several busy streets meet and where the stacked and useful busses are most always visible. I hope that I shall visit that circus someday. Last weekend was pretty dandy for Heppner's Mustangs and for lots of doe hunters and surely for the early pheasant hunters, too. Another type of hunters, the baragin hunters, had their days on Friday and Saturday as they picked through the mass , of rummage the Soroptimists had collected, sorted and offered for sale. Saturday afternoon, well into the "bag sale" period, I stopped to check around, and President Vi Lanham and others of the sale force generously loaded surplus books into my vehicle as a gift to the public library. Many of these were found to be duplicates of books the library already has on its shelves, so they will probably become merchandise for a later book sale. Maybe I inherited my love of baseball from my parents, or maybe my age has something to do with my choice of it as my favorite sport. Whatever the reason, I find it pretty difficult to get my chores done during the playoff games and practically impossible during the World Series. In spite of the way the series upsets my schedule, I was tickled to have it extend to at least six games. This is being written between games five and six on the "travel day" when the players and retinue are moving from Dodger Field and the warm weather of Los Angeles to the crisp, coolness of Yankee Stadium. I have watched so many games being played at Yankee Stadium that I feel more at home there although I am really rooting for the transplanted Dodgers. The scraping, but almost errorless Yanks really rolled along in fine fashion until Sunday afternoon when the scrapy Dodgers, and Don Sutton shook them up. A very nice note from ex-Lexingtonians Faye and Vernon Munkers arrived from Salem today. Faye says they regularly enjoy reading about the little things in this column. So now there are two darling "little things" both girls in the hospital nursery. They are the first babies I've viewed through the nursery window in about a month. I understand each has pleased parents and an excited, happy older brother. (See our Hospital Notes for details.) Among the many senior patients now hospitalized are two fine ladies from Lexington who happen to be sharing a room. Each is many times a grandmother. Geo Van Winkle has great-grandchildren, too, but I am not certain if my sweet ex-neighbor Pearl Brannon Green has more in her family than her children and grandchildren. Pearl, a real pioneer, was originally from out in the Hardman area. These two ladies can surely recall lots of Morrow County history. Two Heppner yards have been furnishing lovely fall blooms to several churches and to several hospital rooms. Amanda Duvall's dahlias and Eleanor Gonty's chrysanthe mums afford so many superb colors. They have held up very well for this late in October how sad it will be to find them frozen ere long. As I looked toward Sunday evening's lovely sunset from the windows of the hospital lounge, I wondered if other places were enjoying such a brilliant display. Surely downtown London doesn't afford such views of great sunsets.

Morrow County's two long established literary clubs, the Bookworms of Heppner and the Topic, Club of lone meet together in the Episcopal Parish Hall on Tuesday eve ning, Oct. 11. Bookworms' president Frances P. Mitchell presided and welcomed the visitors, and Marion Abrams and Pauline Winter made arrangements for the dessert meeting and program. InezErwin, Bookworm, pre sented a review of Howard Fast's 1977 novel "The Immi grants." This story of the interrelationships among the .aliens who become the build ers of a nation is a fascinating historical saga. Most of the story is based in San Francis co. It is a trilogy telling the story of three California families over the course of the twentieth century. After the evening's review, discussion and visiting con tinued over dessert between the ladies from lone and their Heppner hostesses. "rs- He Gabardine Pants...
