FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 28, 1978 with Justine ;ilheiford NA J Another busy week just whizzed by. It was so great to have it begin with a burst of peace in the Middle East and end with a burst of warm sunshine in our west. Last Tuesday, after a good senior citizen dinner, I had a really pleasant visit with a special great-grandmother, Olive B. Hughes. On Wednesday I made my first trip in many moons to Boardman where I was delighted to see the astonishing growth which is taking place there. I located the Mental Health office hoping to say hello to Norma Groce, but I learned that she has Wednesday afternoons off. The office looked good, however, I was disappointed to have stopped in there and not have seen Norma. I noted some potatoes being harvested. On Thursday I made a business trip to Pendleton and found changes there, too. Last time I went to Melanie Square area was the new spot that had a well-filled parking lot. Last week I believe most of the cars were gathered at a newer parking lot surrounding the big, new K-Mart. I had my first look into the "Grocery Sack," senior citizen food store. Coming home I opted to turn off the Echo-Lexington Road and come along Little Butter Creek and past the sunshine-color, new home now occupied by the Charlie Dalys. My Friday traveling took me no further from home than to the laundromat and to the county courthouse where I enjoyed a chance to visit with Bob Ewalt, former director of the Tri-County Health Organization. Bob has been rodeoing these last two years in western states. He said his events are calf roping and wild horse racing. He did pretty well this year "but not quite as well as last year." I noted that many persons were stopping in the Justice of Peace office to tell Dee Gribble that they are sorry she is leaving and that she will be missed. I learned that a group of concerned citizens was talking with Mardian Blair, President of the Northwest Medical Foundation and with Stan Berry who is working with that organization's physician recruitment. These gentlemen were conducting interviews leading to a better understanding of the medical situation and needs in this county and its surrounding area. It was pleasing to see the beautiful oil paintings in Judge Nelson's office which his secretary Alma Green told me are loaned by Morrow County Creative Aritsts and are changed periodically. I didn't get into the County Treasurer's office where I know Sylvia McDaniel has some of her own beautiful paintings hanging. The renovations and relocations taking place in the historic building were news to me. Juvenile Director Carolyn Davis Holt's office is now the basement, and after more remodeling, I understand that the sheriff's department will be moved down, too. As I walked past office doors I noted several new employees about By Saturday I got on the highway again and went to the auction at Arlington. It was sunburn weather; the collection of goods for sale was great;, visiting with in-laws and friends was fun, and the barbeque-beef noon meal was tremendous. I heard that the wheat harvest, so long delayed, was continuing in south Gilliam County, and I hoped it would also be moving along here nearer home. I had heard a little talk about some growers considering trying to get some sort of crop drying equipment. Sunday along with Rachel Harnett and Ida Farra I attended the annual meeting of the Morrow County Historical Society at Ione's Legion Hall. That meeting was nicely conducted by President Delpha Jones and Secretary Ruth McCabe. The turkey potluck, the guest speaker and the colored-slide showing were all very good. After the meeting Mr. and Mrs. Joe DuPrius, Hermiston, came to Heppner to visit the County Museum and its schoolhouse annex. They declared that they would promote a visitation by many of the 400 members of the Umatilla County Historical Society. They said their county has not been as fortunate as Morrow in having such a great place for a historical collection. On Monday afternoon released-time religious training classes started in several churches, with students and teachers ready for extra special learning, teaching and fellowship. Tuesday evening some of us experienced a happy beginning of another year with the Heppner Bookworms, the local, long-established, ladies literary club. By Wednesday my lawn was desperately signaling for a mowing. Then came today when it is time I really get at preparing for next weekend's company and for some more traveling. Also today a new series of story hours for pre-schoolers begins at the Heppner library. It is so fine to have mothers here who value exposing their young children to the fun and wisdom found in books. So this week will whizz by also. I wonder if I am in a "rat race" or if mine is just the normal life of a senior American female? When will I ever catch up with some greatly needed, serious housekeeping, some delayed bookkeeping, some waiting mending, my easy-to-put-aside letter writing and some good reading?
