The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 2, 1978 THREE
with Justine Weatherford Vx, 7
Letha Archer was honored by about 50 persons who
attended the 94th birthday party for her in the Christian
Church social rooms last Saturday. Letha surely knows
plenty about this area where she has lived so long and
continues to manage so well.
Several persons were asking why the flags flew along
Main Street on February 25? Because I've already made
several mistakes about February dates, I could only guess
that they were up either in honor of the 81st Elks Annual or
for Letha's birthday. -
Regardless of why they were put up or by whom, I was a
bit shocked to find them still flying about 10 p.m. Saturday
night, many hours after sundown. It was so cold and wet and
most of the flags were flying in spots that were not lighted
well enough to qualify for 24-hour display.
It was good to find that they had been taken down before
Sunday morning's large, mushy snowflakes fell, I presume
they were carefully dried out before being stored for their
next display date.
If your were downtown, and lots of people were, last
Saturday night, you might have thought that it was the height
of hunting season or that some local high school team had
just won state honors. What traffic what a crowd!
The 81st Elks Annual and the enlarged, nicely decorated
lodge facilities and the two very special musical
aggregations, the "our own" Leonning Family upstairs and
the popular Jim Ackley Band downstairs, really brought out
folks from miles around.
Well, after my extended, young Weatherford family
members took off toward their new Navy work at San Diego,
I found a little time to glance through a stack of periodicals
which I had ignored for over two weeks.
Several items of interest caught my attention. In a Coin
Laundry trade paper I read about an innovation which I hope
doesn't come here for sometime.
" 'Have some suds while you do your duds' is the slogan of
a coin-operated laundry in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which
since last December has been serving beer and wine in its
Laundry Lounge. Now a new twist has been added topless
dancers. There's no cover charge for the show, but the price
of a draft jumps from 40 to 75 cents while the ladies wiggle
through the wash cycles."
Another, longer selection of interest to me, is in the
February 1978, Changing Times magazine. It is an article on
Keeping your own name when you marry." This is a choice
we older females never considered, but which is making
itself evident in our modernizing community.
The article points out that if the Equal Rights
Ampnrfmpnt is ratified, reauirine women to change their
names upon marriage will become unconstitutional. It lists
advantages of keeping one's birthname forever, such as , its
use for social security, for passports, for life-long credit and
on employment records.
However, the author warns "Because retaining your
maiden name bucks tradition, you may encounter problems
with your own family. ..some parents and in-laws refuse to
address mail to a woman in her maiden name and may
believe that maintaining separate names after marriage
indicates plans for divorce."
Several ladies have told me that they resent being
labeled "Ms." I agree with them. I am very proud of my own
family name, but I want people to know that I carry a name
that was by his choice and mine a legal arrangement. I am
maybe just too old for Ms. I prefer to be addressed as Mrs.
which indicates that Weatherford was not my original family
name, but is a name I am proud to wear now.
Now March (formerly Martius) is upon us with three
more days than last month.
Morrow County schools' spring break and the religious
celebration of Easter will be here soon.
Two springtime (if it ever comes ) events you should look
forward to both are concerned with cleanup. The larger
community effort and a smaller public library effort are both
set for pre-Easter. So plan ahead! ,
The community-wide effort will take place between
March 18 and March 25. The smaller public library effort is
also set to end before Easter.
The community Spring Cleanup will take place between
March 18 and March 25. The annual library sale of surplus
books is planned, during library hours, from March 13

The first campaign costs only some effort and planning
and relies on the assertion of community pride. The library
sale will present a wide variety of used books at ridiculously
low prices. So be setting aside some nickles, dimes and
quarters for this annual opportunity to increase your home
library.
The library board stated at its last meeting that any
surplus books that are left after this selling effort will be
taken to a recycling center, which, I guess, is better than
burning or dumping books.
