TEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, July 27, 1978 '4 f -s I J "I 1 ' (A : 1 ' j ' '..3 .3 f with Justine Weiithe rrord Those of us who have been saying "I'd druther have some hot weather" finally got our druthers, but good, this last week. It seemed unnecessary for us to be tested so completely, however, last Thursday by having a complete breakdown of the Heppner city water system just as the temperature shot up. Thai day was a total loss for many of us especially those concerned with restaurants, beauty parlors or a coin-laundry. We all know sweet corn needs warm weather. How it is growing now in Harold Becket's dandy garden-it is considerably taller than Harold is and keeps stretching skyward. Last Saturday night the H.H.S. class of 1968 tested the new second-floor facilities at the Elks Club. (I really felt honored to be included on the class guest list.) Susan Starks Johnson and John Van Winkle, with good assistance and support from county class members, gave generously of their time and talents to arrange the reunion. Everyone there including a few Elks felt miserable because the spacious upstairs rooms were not air-cooled. Even the good company and the cold liquids just couldn't cool the warm bodies there. Before I had to leave the party, the toe-tapping, most danceable sounds from Jim Ackley's musical group began beckoning those who were dancing-minded to come downstairs where it was hopefully cool enough to enjoy more activity. Elsa Leathers and her McDaniel family helpers chose a warm weekend for her move to Hermiston. She is now located in a mobile home in the same park and very near the home of her sister Opal Cook. It is hard to have such nice friends move out of this community. On Friday night after everything was packed, Elsie and her granddaughter Marcie were guests of honor at a small farewell dinner party in Ida Farra's home. All assembled enjoyed hearing Ruth Nutting recount interesting happen ings that occurred on her recent Idaho-Montana-Canada vacation trip with the Norenes. The highspot on the jaunt was the Calgary Stampede where they were surprised to bump into the Pat O'Brien family. Ruth is a good story teller. She had a little assistance from knowledgeable Alice Hastings in keeping the rest of us entranced. Lots of us wish the south county area had an attractive mobile home park which might help keep some of our friends here. Their concern about the future of the hospital and the docotor situation may also be a contributing cause for retired folks leaving here. After husband Bill sold his ranch he tried very hard to get some land suitable for a trailer park, but when he couldn't he decided to establish the laundromat. He had carefully drawn plans for a really nice park which could have been such a fine addition to the community. This week my friendship circle has grown nicely. I'm getting better acquainted with delightful Ginger Bowman who says she is planning a visit with her parents in Hawaii next month; with a new neighbor Brad Christenson from Roseburg and O.S.U. who now spends his weekdays at the Bank of E.O. He says he likes Heppner. Brad has kindly offered to help me with new puppy "Tip" who I hope is pretty well oriented to my yard now and is about past crying for his mother and littermates at night. Another new friend I'm slow about getting to know is Elvira Irby's sister Delsie Bleakman Reid, who is a returnee to Heppner where she seems to be related to many folk. She has purchased the small, corner house on Quaid and Elder Streets and is now employed at Murray Drugs. Having just spent my second weekend struggling to mow my lawn for a second time with my Sidewalk Sale, super, electric mower, I am feeling it could be improved some. I Molly Anne Becket towed Walter Ballard Mr. and Mrs. Laurence F. Becket announce the engage ment and forthcoming mar riage of their daughter, Molly Anne, to Walter Louis Ballard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ballard, Guymon, Oklahoma. An Aug. 12 family wedding is planned with a public reception to follow at Heppner Elks Lodge at 4 p.m. Adventist campout set for July 28-30 at Bull Prairie A weekend campout at Bull Prairie, which is becoming a summer tradition with the Adventist church here, will be held July 28-30 this year. Local Adventists and friends will be joined by the Condon and Spray churches for a district meeting. The regular church services for July 29 will be transferred to the park location, and will begin at 10 a.m. A potluck lunch will follow the service. No organized services are planned for the church in Heppner, but the door will be open for anyone who is unable to go to the mountains, and would like to worship at the church. Rodeo Cour t hosted at Heppner luncheon The Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court and their pennant bearers attended a luncheon given in their honor Saturday at the West of Willow in Heppner.

Well, maybe, such improvements will come on later models. Counting today there are just five days left in July. So far it has gone from very cool to very warm from almost to much moisture to absolutely none (at least in Heppner). What can happen in these last five days of this most versatile month?
