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

think its manufacturer should
have included some sort of air
conditioning directed at the
operator and could maybe
have programmed it to be
controlled from in the. cool
house by computer. 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?
