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? When:
