Legion plays host

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.

Can I expect to get an easy to understand explanation of the variety
of savings programs available from First Federal Savings and Loan?
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. It's a friendly and professional place to
save, and a nice place to do business.
