" h xn SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, August 24, 1978 ..... .... . 1 J 1 i i Firewood available for Senior Citizens Police Report Senior Citizens who need firewood should get in touch with the Heppner Neighbor hood Center right away. The U.S. Forest Service made 100 cords of wood available to seniors in this area. Center workers have cut the wood and will deliver it to fixed-income seniors, but must get the list of those wanting it completed very soon. Pat Brindle says that any seniors who did not get their Social Security cost-of-living increases recently should phone 1-800-452-1654, the toll free number of the Portland office where all records are kept, or should come in to the Heppner Neighborhood Center for help with this matter. The Morrow County Senior Citizens Advisory Council will meet next Tuesday, August 29, at 1:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Columbia Basin Electric Co-op. Fourteen-year-old Patrick Parker of Heppner suffered head cuts and a broken arm last Friday when the bicycle he was riding collided with a pickup truck on Water Street, when Curtis Lyle Sweek backed his truck onto the street from his driveway.

Parker was taken to Com munity Hospital in Pendleton. A car driven by Larry Allan Palmer of Heppner received extensive damage Monday night when it slammed into a telephone pole on South Court Street at Cannon, city police said.

AroundAbout Cont. from page 3 We were so favorably impressed by the cuisine in the dormitory such a fine variety of choices and such generous servings cf everything. We visited with some of the young people who are in a YCC pilot project that has them working with the BLM and living on the campus. This project enlists them for one year and offers them splendid opportunities. Many of them have come to Oregon from the Los Angeles area. I learned that the Jackson County Fair, completed before our arrival, reached extra heights temperature-wise 107 one day and an all-time record 110 on another. People and exhibits really wilted. It was pleasing to arrive home safely Friday evening and to find our yards and gardents had been naturally watered. I had wondered about leaving my new puppy, but Rood new neighbor on the south, Brad Christensou, nd good older neighbor on the north, Dee Crist, kindly managed young Tip and old cat Sam most expertly. However, it was gratifying to have both Tip and Sam indicate that they were pleased to have me home again that boosted my ego. Last weekend brought such fun here with the Fair activities. All who worked at getting the buildings ready and setting up the exhibits did outstanding jobs. The 4-H Action Alley drew many participants and viewers. I heard special raves about the art, photography and craft displays. Shorty Peck's new museum of old farm tools is a great addition to the Fair and should house a constantly growing collection. It seems to me that the community booths are looking better each year. . Saturday evening's chicken dinner, potato auction and musical entertainment were crowd pleasing. Harold Kerr did a dandy job as M.C. Queen Velva and King Adrain Bechdolt looked great and are so worthy of special honor. How lucky everyone felt when the events managed to be completed before the rain came. County Judge D.O. Nelson was being very helpful all day and evening Saturday, and it seems I heard that D.O. was doing very well at horseshoe pitching the next day, too. Sunday parking space was pretty scarce near the fair buildings and many families were really enjoying the colorful exhibits. The displayed animals and birds seemed happy with the pleasant, cool weather. I think this is the first year of two full weekends of activity at the fairgrounds. Tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday the Rodeo will draw lots of attention. The annual parade and the Episcopal barbeque are also set for next weekend. Both Saturday nights' are given to dances after the shows end. Because the 4-H exhibits that are going to Salem are so outstanding they are sure to bring many honors and prizes to our county. For one thing how can any group expect to come even close to the tremendous tole painting done by Morrow's maidens? Some of us hope to rest up between the Fair and Rodeo and Labor Day weekend, but I hear that many will be taking off for post-harvest and pre-school vacations and trips to the State Fair.. Here's wishing them all safe traveling! Portland man dies in Boardman Norman John Schwarz, 46, Portland, died in Boardman August 22. Remains were forwarded by Sweeney Mortuary of Heppner to Carrol Funeral Home, Gresham, for services and interment. Alaska lawyer visits parents A telephone call on a busy afternoon recently, brought good news to Clarence and Hazel Bauman. Their son Carl, practicing attorney in Anchorage, was in San Fran cisco on business and phoned to tell his parents that he would be coming to Heppner to spend some time with them. In the meantime, a second son, Jack Holt and wife of. Oregon City, were vacationing in Central Oregon and had decided to pay a surprise visit. It was the first time both boys have been home together for several years and the family made the most of the unplanned reunion. Bill Beltany wants common sense and honesty government! M. Adv.
