The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, January 19, 1978 THREE
' Justine Weathei ford y
In many communities these days much effort is being put
out by long-range planning committies. Each of us has
received a map suggesting the possible growth pattern of our
community. We are asked to mail in comments.
It is easy to be critical of the time and energy consuming
efforts of public committees. But are you willing to give of
your time and energy to aid your community?
Surely you will take the time to mail in some thoughtful
comments. If you don't do this how can you feel you have
any right to be critical?
As I wrote out my comments, I had to stress that I felt
distressed that the details concerning the continuation of the
community library were not mentioned in the plan. I
sincerely hope this matter will be incorporated in later
planning.
It is hard for some of us to imagine a home without books
or a community without a library. The local library now has
around 15,000 volumes, a large number of which were
donated by its caring citizens. It has recently acquired a
microfilm reader and will receive regular microfilmed
listings of the latest accessions at the state library, which has
discontinued the printing of its voluminous non-fiction
catalog and has moved into the more economical and much
' less space-requiring 4 by 6 inch microfilm cards which
contain so much compressed information on each of them.
This year (July 1, '77 to June 30, '78) the library has
continued to exist because of the work of community
volunteers and the private financing by Heppner's
public-spirited philanthropist Amanda Duvall. The library
board members are working hard to come up with plans for
the continuation of the worthy institution. They welcome
your suggestions.
One of the most consistent library users is an ambitious,
studious, young Kinzua worker named David Wood. He is
taking university extension classes, one on English
composition leading toward the development of his writing
skill.
David asked for help from me, and although I shall
always be keenly interested in composition, I know my
training and understanding is now out-dated, since newer
methods and newer terms are in vogue. I urged David to seek
help from Jane Rawlins who is head of the English
Department at Heppner High. He reports that Mrs. Rawlins
was a great help, and that she has increased his
understanding considerably.
We surely sympathize with our Columbia Basin Electric
Co-op and its crews who are having another rough,
multi-problem winter. We are all so dependent on electricity
that we feel plenty frustrated when it goes out.
The appliance shutdown that causes the most confusion
in our home is non-functioning electric clocks. Just as we
were caught by the latest power outages my usually
dependable battery wristwatch failed, too, and had to spend a
few days at Peterson's Jewelry. Without the TV program
changes to cue the time I was really lost. Guess I need to get
. a sundial; however, I doubt if that would have helped too
much this January. Wish I still had my old Big Ben wind-up
alarm. ,
Since I have responsibility to keep the laundromat
running, I felt very sorry that families who hoped to get their
week's washing done there in the usual time last Saturday
had to wait much longer to complete the process. An exercise
in patience.
Two men I sincerely admired, Minnesota's H.H.H. and
Heppner's W.W.W., after lengthy and valiant struggles, have
succumbed to cancer within the month. Beyond that fact that
their names contained only one initial letter, I feel that their
lives were rather similar.
As youngsters they both knew of W.W. I; as youth they
lived throught the great depression ; as adults they did their
parts during W.W. II; they both always continued to hold
high hopes for their country.
They both loved their families and were very loyal to
their friends and their communities. Both were long-time
members of the Democratic Party.
Although both had political ambitions that were not
realized, both retained to the end an eagerness to be helpful
to their fellowmen.

Gardeners plan
spring project
Christian Life Center
gains new minister
Rev. Wayne Smith recently took over pastorial
duties at the Christian Life Center Assembly of God
Church in Heppner, succeeding Duane Geyer who is
now pastor of St. John's Assembly of God Church in
Portland.
Rev. Smith came to Heppner at the end of
November from Mt. Shasta, Cal. where he had
ministered in his first church for 2'2 years. He
attended Southern Oregon College in Ashland and was
teaching school in Butte Falls when he said, "I found
the Lord in my life."
The family of the new Heppner minister includes
his wile, Barbara, and children, Kathy, age 12, and
Mike, 10.
Rev. Smith said that he was presently evaluating
what has been done in the past, setting goals for the

and Mrs. Max Barclay of Lexington, and Clifford Carlson,
Pendleton, will take place this Saturday, Jan. 21, at 2 p.m. in

A reception at the Heppner Elks' Lodge will follow the
ceremony.

The Heppner Garden Club's
January meeting was held last
week in the home of Bob and
Theta Lowe. Committee re
ports were given on the
district's therapy project, the
Heppner Christmas Green's
workshop, and the judging of
juvenile posters for the dis
trict. The group also discussed the
possibility of a spring Litter
Awareness or Community
Cleanup project. Several orga
nizations and elementary
school children will probably
be involved and Bob Lowe
volunteered to work with
committee members Irene
Swanson, Barbara James,
Eva Griffith and Eleanor
Gonty. Tentative dates for the
civic beautification campaign
were considered. The idea
that is should coincide with the
school's spring vacation
seemed popular.
The program for the eve
ning was on plants under
lights. Theta Lowe showed
plants she is keeping under
artificial light and read from
articles about this system.
Jane Rawlins reminded
members that they are to
especially work with herb
growing this year.
The gardeners' February
meeting is set for February 13
at 7:30 p.m; in the Episcopal
Parish Hall. Extension Agent
Harold Kerr will present
information on testing garden
soil and each member is asked
to bring a plot sample for
analysis.

commented. He is especially interested in reactivating
the Missionettes and the Royal Rangers, which are

family in Japan. The bride

length dress. Vonnie Renee
