FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon, Thursday, February 23, 1978

The selling of all the equipment and furnishings which
were used at the Heppner Child Development Center last
Saturday at the center's final location in the Fairground
Annex Building was a sad occasion for those who
remembered the joy over that agency's beginning.
Most of the civic organizations responded to the
organizational call for support by the A.A.U.W. when that
group made arrangements for the formation of the center.
We recall the many donated items that were assembled
by Monica Swanson and her early helpers and the hours of
donated labor that concerned young parents and others gave.
Much of the lumber for the partitions and shelving was
donated and the shelving was built and painted by
volunteers.
During the several years that this worthwhile center
functioned it employed quite a few persons either full or part
time. The director, a certified teacher, a cook, and four or
five child-care attendants were kept busy during the time
that its enrollment was made up of thirty or more small
children of working mothers.
Of course not everyone was sad at the sale last Saturday.
Some young families and some grandparents were able to get
really good buys on cribs, small chairs, toys, books and other
large and small items that had to be disposed of or were
scheduled to be hauled to the public dump.
I am one lucky grandparent who has been able to borrow
several basic items needed by family small fry and their
parents. Last weekend my home was well filled, every inch of
sleeping space and almost every chair was in use, because
most of my younger family members reunioned while the
visitors traveling between Japan and San Deigo were here.
My eight and ten-year-old grandchildren, Anita and Scott
Haberlach, watched out of the front wincow as some Hepner
kids walked along South Court on their way to school last
Monday morning. They said they are glad their parents
moved to Washington State so that they could depend on a
February school holiday.
I told them I had really gotten myself and several other
folks pretty confused about February holidays because, I
guess, my calendar came from their state and because I
knew they were coming to Heppner. Now, I promise to check
with the school office before I write anything about any more
school holidays.
Concern over the future of two waterways is surely a big
conversational topic these these days. The Panama Canal is
a more significant matter than Morrow County's Willow
Creek, but people here can really influence what will happen
here. Some say that they have heard about the dam for so
long that they doubt if it ever gets built; others are hopeful
that this year will be the year that it is definitely authorized.
Can't we all be proud of our High School's F.F.A.
Chapter? What a great bunch of girl officers are leading it
now. Its president, Krynn Robinson surely brought home a
big honor by being the first-time-ever winner in the Blue
Mountain District speaking contest from here. The other
chapter participants did nicely and gained valuable speaking
experience, too.
Two of Lexington's distinguished citizens, Earl and Alice
Soward were chosen as the 1978 Sweetheart Couple at the

Algier book
Bookworms Meet With Ella
Smith
Tuesday evening, Feb. 14,
the Heppner Bookworms Club
was entertained by Ella Smith
in her apartment. Ten mem
bers were present.
Frances Mitchell presided.
Inez Erwin, who had been
away from the group traveling
in South America and visiting
in California answered a few
questions about her trip. She
also told the members about a
new, younger women's book
review group which is a study
group of the AAUW Branch.
Marian Brosnan presented
the evening's review of a 1976
book "Wilderness Wife". This
exciting and inspirational nar
rative was written by Brad
ford and Vena Angier and was
published by the Chilton Co.
Mr. and Mrs. Angier, both
sophisticated, urban, career
types, decided that they were
through with city life and
stresses and moved to a
remote part of northern Bri
tixh Columbia where they
established a permanent
home after first trying life
there for four years and
returning briefly to an eastern
city.
They became so keen about
life in the wilderness area
where the temperature could
drop to 66 degrees below zero
that they wouldn't consider
leaving it. They expressed
regret near the end of their
account that the damming of
the Peace River was bringing
too many people too close to
their beloved home.

Church. The party was held in the Hermiston High School
Cafeteria. The Sweethearts Soward were presented with a
plaque and a very nice planter. They will be honored on their
fiftieth anniversary next May 28, at a reception their children
will arrange.
I understand that I missed a very fine Patio Sale put on
by Barbara James last weekend. Seems that a good group of
early birds was therefor the opening on Friday morning, and
buyers were still buying when the sale ended Saturday
afternoon. The covered patio, with a warm fire burning in the
outside fireplace, made an extra pleasing setting for this
sale.
Before long our spring and summer weekends will see
many lawn, garage, or porch sales which have become a
modern American custom. I know it is probably best for me
to miss a few of these, because I am easily tempted by the
super bargains one can usually find.
Last weekend at the R&W Drive-In I got my first look at
the only Yul Brenner haircut I have seen around this county.
There may be more-but Rick Cox of Lexington surely has
one of the closest cuts imaginable. I wonder if he has good
warm headgear? I also wonder if his barber charged extra
for the down-to-skin trimming?"
