1 jThe Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 14, 1978 Three Sharon Bunch Brenner weds Loren Woodside Legion plays host for Dist. 6 confab with Justine Wriithoi Tord Well, if you and other members of your family haven't marked up the kitchen calendar for several meetings this week and next you just aren't really entering into community life. Because this month's first Monday was a legal holiday several conflicts occured when the usual first-Monday meetings had to be set on the second Monday which has its own schedule of meetings. People new to this area should find that there are so many organizations hoping for new members and so many places where volunteers are needed that there is really never a need to sit at home feeling lonesome. Near each community there is a grange; the Extension Service has a fine program for homemakers' groups; the veterans are organized; there are many fraternal lodges; each community has a church or two with Heppner having about a dozen churches all eager to welcome newcomers. In the county there is a variety of classes being offered through the Blue Mountain Corrn.. jnity College for those who wish further learning. Youngsters will learn about organizations for thier age groups through the schools. Families interested in horsemanship, in snowmobiling, in arts or crafts or in other interesting activities can ask around about these special groups. Business people need only ask other business people about their organizations. Women will find several auxiliaries, Neighborhood Center activities, and many clubs for special background or interest groups. You have all heard that "the devil finds work for idle hands." I don't know if idle hands did the horrible painting about Heppner just as September began but some of it still shows on sign posts, on sidewalks and in other spots. It was good to read that our police seem to have apprehended some of those guilty. Idle hands and minds could so easily be volunteering to help with community projects such as the school reading program, at the library and-or the museum, with the new Humane Society Thrift Shop or other worthy causes. Try it you might like it! I am really pleased to learn about the birth of Phillip Aaron Spicer-Kuhn. However, I think this first child of Attorney Ann Spicer and Attorney William J. Kuhn could create an unusual situation in about, maybe, 25 years when handsome Phillip might, for instance, happen to decide to marry pretty Beth Brown-Barnes, the daughter of Beulah Brown and Alfred Barnes. Then would their children carry the name of Brown-Barnes-Spicer-Kuhn? Just how long could these hyphenated names go on? I surely believe in family pride and wouldn't mind carrying on the names of my ancestors but it would take lots of space considering that some of those names have 10 to 12 letters each, not just four as in Kuhn. Interest is really building concerning the world championship table tennis match between players from Haiti and Thailand which is to happen here in November. I haven't heard from my friends in Bangkok yet, but I have friends and family in Medford, Bremerton, San Diego and Portland asking "Is it true?How come in Heppner?" This week a per cent of the rodeo world is gathering in Pendleton. Starting with last Saturday's Dress-Up Parade and including the varied activities of this Round-Up week, many Morrow Countians will be going to join the crowds there. Last week I was sympathizing with those who still have unharvested wheat and hay that can't dry out. Now I am wondering about things very close to home like the thousands of green tomatoes that the Bill Rawlins are growing across my backyard. Will they ever turn pink? I don't think we can even hope for them to get really ripe and red and deliciously juicy and now our nights are getting so cool. Elane Blanchet, who worked with this paper for many months, is now a reporter for the Wallowa County Chieftain of Enterprise, which was established in 1884, just one year after this paper began. Elane and her cute little daughter Jennie will be missed by friends here who wish them great success in their new location. The photographic lineups of new county teachers in last week's issue showed a fine group of bright-looking young people. How my perspective has changed; I can remember that as a youngster I thought all teachers were old. Now they all look so young to me. Former Heppnerite visits from California Mrs. Ben Fisher, Arcadia, Calif., was a recent local visitor.

Is the new Premier Account that pays up to V4 of a percent more than current U.S. Treasury bill being well received? . Does First Federal pay the highest rates and returns allowed by law? Is there any bank or savings and loan that pays higher rates? Well, isn't it reassuring to be able to place so much confidence in First Federal Savings and Loan.
