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.

Friday night, that's tomorrow, come join those great
Irish cooks at St. Patrick's Parish Hall for their super stew
dinner. You'll enjoy the Larry Lindsay musicians, too.
Saturday the area Spring Cleanup Campaign begins
also a sizable workparty will be making the Methodist
Church ready for Holy Week.
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!" -
