FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 29, 1978 with .1 ustine Weatherford It was nice to have Elsie McDaniel Leathers telephone to give me some items about the recent Hardman Community reunion. The McDaniel family had charge of the gathering this year, and they appreciated the large attendance from various parts of Oregon and Washington. Honored guests included Gene and Fay Ferguson, now of Hermiston, who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary and who led off the dancing to the tune of the Anniversary Waltz. Oldsters who attended were Mabel Howell, Spray; Ethel Robinson, Hardman, and Carl Cramer, Hermiston. Mr. Cramer was the oldest person present, and he danced almost every dance. Next year Wayne and Ethel Leathers of Monument will be chairpersons for the reunion of families who hold the formerly thriving Hardman very close to their hearts. A busload of senior citizens enjoyed the tour of the Whitman Mission near Walla Walla on Tuesday, June 27, which was arranged for them by the Heppner Soroptimist members. Speaking of senior citizens, some very special people have just turned 90, or will very soon I am thinking of Evelyn Farrens, Heppner and Zetta Brosnan, Lena. A group of her friends arranged a farewell luncheon in honor of Judy Gochnauer last Thursday at the West of Willow. The Gochnauer family has been an active part of this community for almost 12 years thev will be missed and are wished the best in their new location. Just as summer officially arrived last week Wednesday, our warm weather left us temporarily, I hope. That day was the longest daylighted day of the year, but by Sataurday how the daylight had shortened it seemed to get dark so early that evening. The custodians at cutsforth Park are telling a funny story about a traveler who had such a hard time locating the park. He asked around Heppner how to get to HEPPNER DEPOT and could not get any directions at all for quite some time. Then someone remembered that railroad-lover Bob Lowe had affixed the old depot sign to the building at the park and told the fellow that where he wanted to go was the county's Cutsforth Park which he would reach by driving up Willow Creek. This week the first summer storyhour was held at the public ' library at 10:30 Monday morning. There will not be a story hour on July 3, but after that they will continue through July and through the first two Monday mornings in August. It seems to me that the Main Street City Park is getting more use this year than it has formerly. That is good! It is a bit sad that some of the users can't find the trash recepticles usually on Monday the park lawn is well littered with paper wrappers, cans and bottles. Lots of people are anxious for Hager park's development to proceed. We understand that the plans call for tennis courts, playground equipment, a small ball field, etc. ' During my granddaughter Anita's just-ended, two-week visit, I watched parts of several of the Little League evening baseball games at the field on the Fairgrounds. It was pleasing to see the young lads and their coaches and officials doing such good job with our great summertime game. I observed several different teams and couldn't pick a favorite; however, most of the rooters in the small grandstand certainly had favorites. The boys' uniforms all looked neat and clean and their sponsor's names stood out across their upper backs. Have you watched the crowds of youngsters using the city swim pool? We understand that the town swim team is already competing. The coach, Phil Oaks, came to the town library to order a book about water games from the ts'e library. He seems very dedicated to his work, and we expect that his team will do well, as the swim teams have done in former years. Surely no one can miss noticing several changes taking place in Heppner's business sector. The new Morrow County Abstract and Title Co. Inc. Abrams, Kuhn, Spicer Building will soon be ready for occupancy. The repainted corner real estate office stands out on the laundromat corner. This coming weekend, I believe, the Kinzua workers will enjoy a four-day holiday. They will not work Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, but will be on their jobs the next four-day block from Wednesday through Saturday. That sounds like such a good plan for incorporating a Tuesday holiday it might be good for other business firms. I bet city, county, state and federal employees would enjoy that arrangement, too. By now the shocking news that two doctors are leaving has cooled off somewhat. More of us have reasoned why some young, ambitious, medical persons might choose to work elsewhere so they could associate with more advancing professionals and could have advantages such as fine research laboratories and the latest equipment that it is rather impossible to have in this small community. However, many of us believe that our community and small hospital offer some advantages that larger cities and hospitals can't offer such as a great variety of experiences doctors probably would not have where specialization is dominant our beautiful county has charms that are hard to match in many other locations. We will greatly miss Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Diehl, but do wish them good luck and we hope they will carry away some good'memories of the time they have spent here. We so anxiously hope that other doctors will be coming to this county soon.
