FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, November 3, 1977
with Justine Weatherford
PEOPLE
Maybe it looks like this column is going to thedogs. Last
week I learned about lonesome Herman, Heppner's clever
canine hitchiker. This week two fine citizens told me about
two little, dumped, deserted puppies that are so frightened
and so hungry that they are acting wild. Seems like they
were abandoned about 15 minutes outside of Heppner.
My two informants have tried to feed the pups and hope
to make friends with them. They say they hope the animals
can be gentled in due time and placed in caring homes.
The mention of "time" is making me think of trees. We
so enjoy the two large elms in front of our home during the
hot summer days but now with their zillions of falling
leaves I think I could offer them to somebody else pretty
cheap. I wish there was money in old elm leaves I could get
together quite a collection pretty fast if I raked steadily.
When we pay our monthly electric bill I keep telling
myself thatourelectricco-op is a great thing. Wereally geta
good deal on our rates and on their services. Besides that,
look how that co-op puts up and takes down the fair and rodeo
street signs and look how this last weekend their truck with
the ladder lift was being used at the hospital to help with
some high-up painting.
Writing of the electric co-op reminds me of Dave
Harrison and the fine church service I attended last Sunday
morning in which he and Lois Hunt, Barbara James and
Alma Green were the principal speakers. Such talents.
A group of 36 senior citizens from Bend visited in
Heppner last Thursday afternoon. They came under the
leadership of Bob Innis who organized several tours for
them. W hen he came to the museum he said it was certainly
too bad the there wasn't a Heppner Chamber of Commerce.
I was surprised to hear this then I remembered that
what we have here is the Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce.
"Ah," said Mr. Innes, "I checked with our Chamber in
Bend and they said there was no Heppner Chamber that I
could write to for information about what to see here."
Anyway, he took a chance and chartered a bus and got
the people organized and they took off through Prineville,
Mitchell, Spray and over Morrow's mountains to Heppner for
lunch and a look around. Several of them quickly spotted the
stone courthouse and soon most of them found the museum.
About 30 of them came through the museum before their
bus took off for Condon, Madras and home. The leadership
and more traveled persons said how delighted they were to
have come to Heppner. They thought it was unusual that the
town didn't publicize its attractions. How much better our
museum is than the one they had visited at Klamath Falls
awhile back. "Seeing it really made our day. It is the high
spot of this trip."
Mr. Innis asked if some of them could make a
contribution, and after being shown the contributions box,
quite a few of them generously left monetary gifts.
It was good that the group left town by three O'clock as
about that time the hoards of elk hunters began to pour in. I
cant recall having seen more camping rigs coming through
town for the first of elk season than we had here toward the
end of last week.
I hope a few of those who went through town noted how
great our merchants are about decorating their store
windows. I happened to go window looking on Friday night
and saw nine or ten very attractive, colorful displays.
Have you heard that Vic Klinger, Lexington's service
station operator, won a trip to Hawaii and took Curtis
Cutsf orth along to share his fun? Also have you heard that the
Harshmans, who operate the tavern at Lexington, now serve
lunches? It seems that they have pretty dandy vituals, like
swiss steak, etc.
Writing of food reminds me to tell you that I happened to
do considerable eating about town last weekend with my
visiting step-daughter Karla. On Moonlight Madness night,
we got in on the special at the R&W Drive-in a really smart
deal. Friday, we ate at West of Willow and as always were
very pleased. I must remember that they served a great
clam chowder as their table soup. I wonder if they feature it
each Friday?
Then Saturday evening we had some special microwave
cooked goodies at the Wagon Wheel. We noted that Iva Lou
McDaniel,- hasjoined the good crew there.
Karla returned to Bremerton on Sunday, and I guess my
night life will be more confined for awhile now.
It was news to me that several friends, all such excellent
cooks, are now sharing their talents with the community. I
learned that Marget Dubuque cooks part-time at the West of
Willow and that Alma Vinson is aided by Eleanor Gonty in
preparing steak and seafood dinners at the Heppner Elks
Club on Friday and Saturday nights.
Our big employer, Kinzua Corporation, as a gesture of
appreciation to some of its workers, allows them occasional
"floating" holidays. Some of the lucky men had an extra elk
hunting day when Halloween became a floating holiday for
them.
I close this week with a sad notation. The Don Penney
family moved outof Heppner. I enjoyed knowing Don, Ruth,
Donny, Bart and Patricia and shall miss their friendship. The
Garden Club will especially miss Ruth. She worked at the
hospital through September and October after her husband's
unfortunate injury. The loss of the three younger Penneys
will diminish Heppner's elementary school population.

Mr. and Mrs. Edd Owen
Couple celebrates
40th anniversary
Edd and Inis Owen were
honored at a reception and
dinner the evening of Oct. 31 in
observance of their 40th wed
ding anniversary. The cou
ple's children hosted the
celebration.

married Oct. 31, 1937 in

tion were Mrs. Owen's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Claude
Noble.

couple present at the recep
tion included Mrs. John (San
dy) DuPont and husband, Rita

ly, Bill Owen and Gene Owen.

Fabrics, fashions
modeled at show
Ultra suede and wool challis proved the overall favorites
of outfits modeled Saturday afternoon at West of Willow
Restaurant in Heppner, with other fabrics and styles also
bringing enthusiastic responses from the audience.
There were examples of all me newer fabrics and
fashions, styledfor women of all ages. Boots proved to be the
most popular fashion accessory, along with golden chains
and the new stick pins. Fashions modeled were from
Simplicity Pattern Company with a wardrobe on loan from
New York. Local models showed the garments in a style
deserving of any high fashion show.
Woven natural fabrics made up the largest number
shown, with a few knits for those who love that versatile
fabric. Wool gabardines, plaids and plain flannels,
herringbones, and stripes all showed up in the fall and winter
fashion prevue. Simplicity makes the garments in the very
' latest and most popular fabrics, but many fashion ideas may
be duplicated in less expensive fabrics with the same effect.
An added bonus was a mini style show of garments made
and modeled by local women. Belinda Powers showed her
psuedo-suede skirt and vest; Judy Wright her safari styled
jacket and skirt; Francine Evans a flannel blazer with
coordinated bias plaid skirt, and an additional outfit of
flannel pants, cowl neckline sweater, and plain shawl.
Models for the show included: Judy Wright, Belinda
Powers, Francine Evans, Suzanne Jepsen, Kathy Query,
Katherine Lindstrom, Vera Cooley, Laura Broderick.
