It is hard now to remember those very hot uayS in July wheii Heppner was suffering from water problems, and we needed coolness and moisture. Now we are getting more of both than anybody especially our farmers, can use. However, we can be mighty thankful that we missed the terrible flooding that plagued some south-central states. Zetta and all the other Oregon Brosnans were relieved to hear from Little Rock, Arkansas, that the Joe Brosnans and the Don Williams were OK although the high waters came close to them. ' Last Wednesday Jerry Healy provided a most interesting evening for the Methodist Women when he told of his Peace Corp experience in the Dominican Republic and showed slides and still pictures and some souveniers from that Caribbean nation. Then on Sunday morning a group was privilaged to hear Ava Wilson from Nampa, Idaho, talk about social projects in Nicaragua where she and her husband visited just as the current revolution was getting underway. Her slides showed "'" that the nation has much in common with the Dominican Republic, such as, a long-time dictatorship by a strongman and his powerful family. Much poverty and illiteracy, unemployment and poor housing in both these southern neighbors certainly points out how very fortunate we are here. Of course, each of these countries has a very small, very wealthy class. From what I heard it seemed to me that the Dominican government may be trying to help its people a little more than the government of Nicaragua (or maybe they just get more American aid there). . - One phenomenon that September's disagreeable cold and damp weather has seemed to put an end to is the American custom of garage and lawn sales. During the good weather every town is well sprinkled with signs indicating that such sales are being held. The last sale I attended here, Sept. 9, suffered from the lusty wind that blew items off the outside tables several times. , ; ' Now I wonder if the weather will hurt the annual community auction at Arlington this Saturday? It was sad that the Boardman Harvest Festival hit such - poor weather the Round-Up had better luck. I've been wondering how the Gilliam County Fair made put? I understand very little about the planning of such events, but it seems sort of anti-climactic to be having a county fair after the State Fair. However, I suppose it is mighty difficult to schedule all the county" fairs in August. It was good to meet Frank and Kay Wilson, the new . managers of the Evergreen Apartments. They are working to help the tenants there keep up the apartments, many of which have such a grand view of lower Hinton Creek to their east and the Willow Creek Valley and the distant mountains to their northwest. f , ''? -f What changes in the food businesses in Heppner this -month ; at least in two out of four groceries. The closing of the historic Thomson Brothers store near the center of town almost brought tears to many eyes; the Mabens became the proprietors of the Court Street Marketjthus only the Central " Market of McCabe and Burkenbine and the much newer " Mini-Mart of the Jerry Samples are continuing under their .'established managements. ... t , ' " , , , 'Thursday Eleanor Gonty and I made a trip to Portland and backlGoing down river we rioted that there were more recreational vehicles of various catagories coming toward us on 80 N. than there were standard cars and pickups and we supposed that "many could be heading for Pendleton for Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday. When we came back eastward, mostly after dark, we found that many big trucks were passing usfand at times we fudged a little on the 55mpn limitation) but not like the truckers were doing. f ,. - The Columbia. River route , is surely a tremendous 'freightway several long'trains, many barges, hundreds of "1 trucks and a great many airplanes move along it daily in both directions. We are so blessed to have such a good highway 't and , such magnificant "scenery, between our homes and businesses and our state's metropolis.

Every cold night I wonder when the freeze will come and lay low tfte great gardens near my home. Last Saturday I noted that the Harold Beckets covered part of their large garden with plastic sheeting. The Bill Rawlins have such a bright, blooming backyard and just one cold night can ruin it. Dee Crist has lovely dahlias along the fence between our places, and I enjoy them so much but know that they will leave us soon.
