The HHS junior is spending her vacation in Costa Rica, as part of the Partners of America program, a group that hosts exchanges between North American and Latin American nations in such areas as education, trade and techonology. Alice has been in Latin America since June 17, and will remain there until Aug. 20. She has been staying in the home of Esmaralda Alfara, who was the Abram's house guest and a Heppner High drop-in for five weeks last winter. The Alfara family lives in the Heppner-sized college town of Ciudad Quesada. Mr. Alfara is a craftsman in wood, and his wife is a florist. Both are former teachers. More recently, Alice has been staying with the Ramirez family in suburban San Jose, Costa Rica's capital. She is attending high school there, since vacation time in Costa Rica falls during our winter season. She wrote her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Abrams, that her Costa Rican counterparts tend to party more than teenaged Heppnerites. holding dance parties nearly every night. Since school starts at 7 a.m. (but ends at noon), "I'm getting pretty tired," she wrote. Although the tropical repub lic is a long way from the U.S., Alice reports meeting a num ber of Americans during her stay, from places such as Kansas, Indiana and Tennes see. She also reported having watched "Saturday Night Fe ver" at a Costa Rican cinema, cinema. The Latin American menu appeals to the Heppner girl, according to her letters. She has grown to like the Costa Rican staple of rice and beans, making her "a real Tico", the slang word Costa Ricans use to describe themselves. A wide variety of fresh frutis and vegetables, such as man goes, sweet lemons, mandarin oranges and avocados also add variety to the Costa Rican mealtime fare. Alice has made a side trip to Panama, which has become Latin America's market bas ket due to its low prices, and viewed the Panama Canal. Needless to say, Alice's Spanish is improving, which should make HHS instructor Gordon Munck pleased. Two vears ago, Alice took part in an exchange program which took her to Nagasaki, Japan. Starting an auctioneering business in the Morrow-Umatilla County area is Frank "Sandy" Gross, a graduate of the Western College of Auc tioneering in Billings, Mont. Gross, who assisted with this year's lone United Churchy of Christ Auction, as well as with farm and other auctions in Morrow County, has been involved with a farming operation near Hermiston for the past 3l2 years. He also holds an animal science de gree from Oregon State University. The 23-year-old auctioneer is available for work in farm sales, estates, liquidations, and livestock production sales. Gross will donate his services free of charge to organizations sponsoring large fundraising events. He is a member of the Oregon and National Auction eering associations, and is a licensed and bonded auction eer. Gross may be contacted at 567-2947. Morrow County residents have a wide range of immuni zations and other health care services available free of charge from the Morrow County Health Department. Shots are available for dis- Archie Padberg in intensive care at St Anthony's Archie Padberg, Heppner, who has been a patient at Good Shepherd Hospital, Her miston, was transferred to St. Anthony's Hospital, Pendleton where he underwent major surgery Friday. He is still in intensive care. Senior citizens meal site change not final, official tells group eases including measles, ru I bella, mumps, diptheria, whooping cough, tetanus, and polio. The health department also conducts free of charge a hepatitis control program, tuberculosis testing, allergy shot monitoring, blood pres sure checking and monitoring, and flu shots. In Irrigon at the County Office Building, clinic hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. In Lexington, at the Health Department's office in the Morrow County school admi nistration building, clinic hours run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays. The Lexington clinic will be close on Aug. 18. Early Wednesday evening, July 26, an open meeting of senior citizens who had at tended the dinner at the Elks Club was held in the County Fair Pavilion. Rollin H. Rey nolds, human resources and aging specialist with the East Central Oregon Association of Counties came from his Pen dleton office to dine with the seniors and to lead the discussion. Reynolds said that the announcement from the Fair Board meeting that came out in last week's paper was "premature and not an official decision." He wanted to make certain that all concerned thorougly understood that it has not yet been decided where or when senior meals may be rescheduled and that the group is very content with the arrangement existing with the Elks Club. Reynolds also stressed that Pat Brindle will continue to direct senior activities in Morrow County "absolutely no change is contemplated we just couldn't get along without Pat." It was brought out that 10 per cent of the U.S. population is now 65 or older. A recent survey shows that there are about 1,000 citizens over 55 in south Morrow County but that only a small part of the group is attending the senior activities. Reynolds stressed that these activities foster social interac tion and alert seniors to various supportive social ser vices such as the Homemaker Program under Sue Jepson and the Home Nursing Pro gram under Sheridan Tar nasky which are directed from the Heppner Neighborhood Center. Help with special transpor tation, information and refer ral services, assistance with social security problems and tax rebate help are offered. It was again stressed that the Heppner Elks had contributed much to the senior meal - 1 fit. FV n FMB. "78 Selections Are Great Hell wear this vest out.

Better food storage and preparation space is needed. This area has one of the poorest attendance rec ords of the 17 senior meal sites in the ECO AC area. Many communitites are getting spe cial buildings with recrea tional facilities just for senior Citi7n5 It was emphasized that senior meals are not a charity program that they cannot continue here unless there is more participation. Approxi mately 35 usually attend the dinners here on Tuesdays and Wednesdays many less than attend at the other 16 sites. As the meeting concluded those attending were urged to stimulate more participation which would provide more donations of meal money here. They were assured that the guiding committee here was diligently considering several possibilities for the location of future activities. Most of the participants spoke out for keeping these activities close to the center of Heppner and are happy with the Elks Club. Reynolds assured the sen iors that any decisions would be made by the majority of the group members and that no changes had been determined presently.
