Alpha Theia gains state recognition
As I've been again struggling to catch up with periodical
reading, my attention has been grabbed by several news
stories and articles.
The son who is suing his parents for causing him to
become maladjusted and unable to cope with the realities
and problems of life might be bringing about a worthwhile
exposure of some very bad parenting which could be the
basis of many societal difficulties. At least he doesn't blame
the school system as many others do.
Some facts from the back page of the current Newsweek
give me a new appreciation of the western states I love and
where the federal government owns such a substantial
percentage of the land. In Alaska it owns 96 per cent; in
Nevada 78, Idaho 67, Utah 65, Oregon 52, California 45,
Colorado 36, New Mexico 34, Montana 30 and Washington 29.
East of the Mississippi the highest Federal ownership is in
New Hampshire 12 per cent.
Now I feel more keenly than ever that our county and
state should have help to arrange for the bombing range to
come back to private development and for Washington State
to somehow take over that public enterprise.
The Newsweek cover story on "Living with Dying"
includes an explanation of a new and growing profession,
thanatology, which investigates the social and psychological
dimensions of death, dying and bereavement.
All older females must read the Time thoughts (also on a
back page) regarding the charms and abilities of mature
women. How uplifting!
Because I was taken to La Grande last Friday afternoon
and evening by Library Board Chairman Myrna Johnson to
attend a regional meeting engineered by the governor's
library improvement committee, I missed what I hear was a
good Moonlight Sale here.
However, I learned about a few problems bothering the
City of La Grande. The possible closure of several railroad
crossings that citizens feel are greatly needed to hold the city
together has become a big issue. The need for a new library
building there seems urgent to the staff and patrons.
The setting of the EOC campus with the lovely framing of
snow-topped mountains and the college's several new
buildings pleased me and others attending the meeting.
Furthering my acquaintance with four state library
personel, especially Nina Cleveland, a former Hermiston
resident, was most enjoyable. Again I was so impressed
with the regional leadership of Mary Bates, BMCC librarian
and an erstwhile candidate for our state legislature.
Last weekend the visiting cow cutters chose one of the
nicest times of the year to be here. Surely the lilacs of
Normandy can't be any lovelier than the lilacs of Morrow.
Late Thursday afternoon, April 27, I happened into the
Heppner Neighborhood Center just in time to have a piece of
the delicious, mother-baked, horseshoe-shaped, Anhorn-de-corated
birthday cake which honored Naomi Mathews.
It makes me feel a bit lazy and dull when I contemplate
what an energetic, multi-talented person, Irene Anhorn
is always active, as was her respected mother, Clara
Gertson. Irene. tends to many animals and fowl, is a school
resource person, a library volunteer, a County Fair
superintendent, a senior citizen worker, a regular hospital
visitor and errand girl, a terrific crafts person, a leader in
her church and a super shopwindow decorator among other
things.
When I have visitors to whom I can show our shops
(usually on Sunday), I am so pleased with the attractive
window displays everywhere. Some of the windows that
Irene has arranged for Rita's (Judy's) Fabrics have been so
original and so attractive.
My latest trip inside that shop showed me that it has
more than doubled in its size and offerings since Rita Sumner
took it over.
Because I've had a preview of Barb's Plant Seller which
will have open house on Baltimore Street tomorrow and
Saturday, I know you will all enjoy visiting this newest, most
unusual enterprise.
Heppner has always had a dandy group of businessmen.
In recent years, however, it seems it is the new breed of
businesswomen who are making really exciting progress
here. Some of them are co-owners with a husband; several
are doing nicely on their own.
We are now involved in one of the busiest months of the
year socially, with season-ending club meetings and a rush of
school activities.
Doesn't it help greatly to have sunshine return after our
extraordinary, greening rains?
Several busloads of students from nearby communities
have scheduled spring, field trips to the Morrow County
Museum.
Usually they bring sack lunches which they enjoy in the
Main Street Park. They and their teachers and roommothers
all feel excited about the Democrat Gulch School.
The saddest news this week was the Trailblazers
elimination from the regional playoff. Boo-hoo!
Alpha Theta chapter of ESA
International in Heppner was
recognized for several activi
ties at the Oregon State
Council 32nd Annual Conven
tion held April 28-30 in

Irene Padberg serving as
co-hostess.
New officers were elected to
lead the club next year : Judy
Osmin, president; Delta Hu
ber, vice-president; Leila
Palmer, secretary; and Helen
Martin, treasurer.
The day's program was
given by Dianna Hams who
presented many facts about
growing flowering perennials.
She pointed out that garden
ers need to understand the
nature of perennials. She
recommended soaking them
instead of sprinkling them.
"Never leave a perennial
growing in the same spot for
more than three years," Mrs.
Hams said.

It can be so confusing. Yields. Annual yields.
Percentages. Rates. Compounding. Wow. It's the
confusion that's compounded.
At First Federal Savings & Loan, we're still involved
with figures, but we're cutting through the red tape to talk a
basic fact of importance: When you invest your money, you
want profit. If that profit is guaranteed, so much the better. If
that profit is high, it's still better. Our goal is to pay you high
profit on your savings investment with no risk to you.
Examine our personal profit guide. The profit is
computed on our 6 year 73A savings certificate creating an
annual yield of 8.17. Profit is also based on your savings
remaining in the account over the period indicated.
