.Vjj. Kf-"" -4 - FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 16, 1978 Pops concert 1 A I X 1 i k 11 ir i(h Justine UViitherlWd ) I got a very good report on last Saturday night's dance in the Hardman "Opera House." This farewell appearance of Dwayne's Plainsmen, a popular musical group, brought out a good crowd. The monejr taken in for admissions and food amounted to $258, which has been turned over to the Pioneer Memorial Hospital. Nice! Iva Lou McDaniel has recently changed her place of employment and is now working up north for Gourmet Foods. We hope she will still be around here weekends, some. Darla Cooper, another recent H.h.S. alumna, has become a newspaper woman, her mother says. Darla, who is in Salem getting a business education, has taken on a job as a proofreader for the Oregon Statesman. She works each evening and on Saturdays at the paper and puts in full time at business college, too. We all know that Darla is one fine, healthy, bright, ambitious girl! Right now I get to insert a wee Irish joke or two from the collection I save from one St. Pat's Day to another. As one corpulent, self-complacent Irishman sank into his most comfortable chair, he remarked to his wife, "Well, Kate, me dear, life to me seems to have been one long run of prosperity. First I was plain Hooley; then I married you and became Mr. Hooley; then I was made Councellor Hooley, and later Alderman Hooley. To cap the lot, as I wint to church yisterday all the congregation with one accord rose and sang, 'Hooley, Hooley, Hooley'!" Then, I like this one. Once Mother McCree was talking to her son Pat about unselfishness, She carefully explained "Unselfishness means voluntarily going without something you need. Can you remember ever doing that, Pat?" Quickly, and with that Irish twinkle in his blue eyes, Pat replied, "Sure, Mom. I sometimes voluntarily go without a bath when I need one." Have you been noticing changes taking place in downtown Heppner? I know I have been slow about seeing the attractively remodeled waiting room and patient rooms at Dr. Harold Huber's dental establishment in the First National Building. When I wandered across the street to Roice Fulleton's showroom to inquire about new car possibilities, I was astonished to find a sizable display of saddles. I was told, if I thought that gas was too expensive and was concerned about the mileage from each gallon I could just buy one of his saddles and that he would even help get me a horse. Although I haven't any idea what car I need, I am sure that at my age, with my completely un-horsey background, that I am not a candidate to learn to ride even if gasoline and cars are shooting up in price. Now back to the joke collection. An Irish golfer stepped up to the tee and drove off. The ball sailed straight down the fairway, leaped on the green and rolled into the hole. Mike threw his club in the air with excitement and did a beautiful jig. "What have you suddenly gone so crazy about?" asked his wife Bridget who was trying to learn something about the , game. "Wow, I just made a hole in one," Mike yelled with a wild gleam of delight in his eyes. '.'Oh, did you now?" asked Bridget placidly. "Do it again, dear, I didn't see it." The vicar, awarding prizes at the Dublin dog show, was scandalized at the costumes worn by the lads and lassies. "Look at that youngster," said he; the one with the cropped, curly hair, the cigarette and jeans, holding two pups. Is it a boy or a girl?" "A girl," said his companion. "She's me daughter." "My dear sir ! " The vicar was flustered. "Do forgive me. I would never have been so outspoken had I known you were her father." "I'm not," said the other. "I'm her mother." Activity has been taking place around the Bank of Eastern Oregon sector of Main Street, too. The attractive new front on the Union Hall across the street rates comments. The beginning work on the new building for The Morrow County Abstract and Title Co., Inc. adjoining the bank looks like a coming major improvement. Won't it be great to have a completely new building in that too-long vacant spot? Our pre-spring is getting crowded with activity. This week there's the library's sale of surplus and antique books and magazines. There are several first editions included. I've just learned that on Wednesday (yesterday) several of my first cousins, Peakes from Michigan, are coming to Heppner for a special visit. r v v Heppner Women's 6-Game Handicap Singles Tournament Saturday, March 25 Entry Deadline March 23 at 8 p.m. Use Average as of March 1, 1978 Handicap 80 of 180 Enter as many times as you want... ...Cash only once Squad Starting Times 1 p.m. 4 p.m. 7 p.m. $10 Entry Fee HEPPNER W!L Ph 676-9203 cr 676-5805 Friday night, that's tomorrow, come join those great Irish cooks at St. Patrick's Parish Hall for their super stew dinner.

As I sign off, surely I can find a few more bits of Irish humor (as this is likely my last chance to maybe get it printed before March 17, 1979.) "What's wrong, Tim?" asked the little woman. "Me razor," boomed the voice within the bathroom. "It just don' cut at all." "Don't be silly," Colleen ventured, "your beard can't be tougher than the linoleum I cut yesterday." "What do you think is the trouble with farming?" , "Well," replied Farmer O'Mahoney, "in my day when we talked about what we could raise on 60 acres, we meant corn not loans." As the men deliberated the state of the world in the neighborhood pub, the matter of crop failures brought reminiscences. Old Paddy recalled, "Yep, I've seen a few of 'em in me day. Now in 1884 the corn crop was purt' nigh nothing. Ma cooked some for dinner one day, and Pa ate fourteen acres of corn at the one meal!" And so "Top of the morning" to you all on the morrow and to Dennis Doherty, "Erin go bragh!" - Alpha Thetas hear juvenile problems at tins lonigni A Pops Concert will be presented jointly by band and vocal students from both Heppner High School and Heppner Junior Hgh today (Thursday, March 16) at 7:30 p.m. in the HHS cafetorium.
