FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, September 7, 1978 AdventistS welcome Christian Businesswomen Pastor Bill Poole feature 'Pearl' program with Justine Wratherford At least most of the Labor Day weekend weather was quite pleasant here. Some who traveled to the north Oregon Coast found it mighty wet and report that Portland was being drenched, too. This week will see many things beginning new school arrangements, new pupils, new teachers. Club calendars being re-examined, official vacancies needing to be filled, some re-scheduling always takes place in September. Many of you will be getting to know the new proprietors of the Court Street Market, Ruth and John Maben who came her from Mollala. They bought Linda Dunlap's house on Cannon Street soon after they dealt with the Schwartzs. Len Ray will be continuing his custom cutting business at the back of their store. On Labor Day evening, I heard that Howard Bryant sustained some sort of accidental injury to one of his feet. I hope the injury was temporary, but trust that somehow Howard should have the proper insurance for all emergencies. A report fromState Fair visitors states that the Oregon Wheat Commission booth there was a most popular spot. The ladies there made up their super-quick, tasty muffins in their speedy-type oven for many admirers. Since their same demo at our county fair quite a few persons have tried their 'mix in advance to bake anytime" recipe and are most enthusiastic about it. Wendell and Helen Connor were recent visitors with his parents Gladys and Frank, after all attended the wedding of Teri Connor, daughter of Skip, in Pilot Rock. As I have prepared to mail letters and pay bills the last two months I have been trying to tell every one that I have a new address, but have not moved. Most of the folks along the big, in-town extension to Route 2 changed their addresses long before I got to it. I decided to keep my paid-up post office box until June 30 when I left the library job, as I was then picking up the mail from two boxes almost every morning. Now, although I am pleased with the Gilmore Street mail service, I miss the meetings with friends that took place every time I was in the post office. Also, many days, I am restless waiting until about 2 p.m. when our fine carrier Zelma McDaniel gets to Box 2793 about four and one-half hours later than I had been used to picking up my mail and my Thursday newspaper. However, If we have as much ice and snow this winter as we had last year, I shall probably be content to wait for Zelma to fight the elements and to bring the mail close to my back door. The bad, sad news aroud town last weekend was the horrible graffiti painted across the front walls of the Heppner City Building and on the bridge nearest the Courthouse. Some of our early weekend visitors noted it and were sorry to see such signs of vandalism. The city crews worked hard most of the three-day holiday to erase the mess and to improve the appearance of the city building. I certainly hope our police are able to catch up with a few vandals and force them or their parents to make restitution for their disgusting behavior. It is hard for me to believe that very young kids could or would paint such obcenities anyway, whoever did the deed surely has an awful idea of how to use black paint. It took several coatings to cover up the damage and hours of labor. It is so good to know that Dr. Joseph Gifford is back up on our east hill and that hard-working Dr. Wallace Wolff is having a little holiday. Having the clinic open again must be about the best news of this week. Just now our sympathy is with the wheat and hay farmers of this region who keep praying for hot, dry weather so that they can finish their harvests. The off and on rains are so disappointing. Each morning's sky check and radio and TV weather news keeps them upset. Checking their wheat for its moisture content has been no fun. Some are very worried about taking a possible big loss if the crops in their fields can't be harvested and sold.

LEXINGTON 989-8586 The congregation of the Heppner Adventist church welcomed its new pastor, Bill Poole, last Saturday when he delivered his first sermon here. A potluck fellowship dinner in his honor was held at the Dave Gray home following the service. Poole com,es here from Andrews University in Mich igan, where he received his Master of Divinity degree this summer. Though he spent the first years of his life in the Eastern United States, he is no stranger to the Northwest, having come to Auburn, Wash., with his parents as a teenager. Later he attended Walla Walla College, graduat ing in 1974. His pastoral experience has been varied. Besides serving for a year as associate pastor of the Linwood Adventist Church in Spokane, he taught Bible to students in grades 9-11 at Portland Adventist Acad emy (a church-owned and operated high school). His work there included student counseling. He also worked for a time with the chaplain of Portland Adventist Hospital. For recreation, Pastor Poole enjoys a good game of tennis. He likes winters with m A pearl exhibit will be the featured attraction during a Sept. 11 meeting of the Christian Business Women's Club, to be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Heppner High School cafeteria. Helen Becket of Salem will be the main speaker, her theme being "pearls of wis dom." The meeting is open to the public. Pastor Bill Poole plenty of snow for skiing, but doesn't mind driving to the snow if it doesn't come where he is. He enjoys traveling, which is fortunate, since his district includes churches in Condon and Spray as well as Heppner.
