FOUR Th.e" Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, October 5, 1978 i t I t i t j with Justine WfalheilWd J xunr ; ; Craftsmen urged to make reservations for Artif actory How Heppner changed during last Friday night. All day Friday, the incoming hunter traffic peaked. Main Street became like Broadway no place to park, the gasoline pumps all had long lines of RVs and pickups waiting for , servicing. Those of us who live on roads leading to the mountains could hear much movement of traffic during the night, too. However, by daylight on Saturday, Sept. 30, when deer hunting began, Heppner was an almost deserted village. Main Street provided a fine choice of parking spaces and the weary gas pumps and their attendants were, I imagine, " relieved to have their business slowed down. I didn't trek to the mountains but heard reports from friends such as "There were even more hunters per mile in the John Day area than here" and "The number of hunters per legal deer was up, but the number of deer per hundred hunters was down." My weekend traveling took me west on a rather quiet 80N Saturday to attend the wedding of my number-one Peake niece, Tracy Marie, in Portland. After an evening and night of festivities with my brother's family, I drove home Sunday on a busier highway, After I left Arlington I met occasional pickups decorated with antlers and a rare two rigs that had more than one visible hunting trophy. As I changed necessities from one handbag to another before leaving home, I noted several bits of paper with notes about events that I had intended to share via this column much earlier, but somehow let get buried in the bottom of my old purse. Early in September the fine ladies of the Rhea Creek Grange had given their third day of mending during 1978 to the Pioneer Memorial Hospital. As has been their custom for some years they met at Emma Drake's home with their needles, thimbles and portable electric sewing machines and worked diligently before and after a delicious spaghetti luncheon prepared by Emma's daughter Claudine Warren. It was about two weeks ago that Dr. Tibbies, that skilled fisherman, brought some super-tasty trout to my door. What a great treat for this fish lover. On Sept. 25, a group of old friends of Blanche Boulden Crouch, who formerly taught here while her late husband Rev. Lester Boulden was pastor of the Methodist Church, was honored at an afternoon gathering in Ida Farra's home. Blanche and her second husband Gene Crouch live in Coquille, and they brought special greetings' to friends here from Rev. and Mrs. Ed Cutting whose church they attend. The Crouches are taking an extensive look around the U.S. and will go as far as Florida before returning to Coauille. Now and then I see a local house that has been tremendously upgraded so beautifully improved. Perhaps you too have noticed the large Water Street house at the corner of North Minor which Randy and Bernice Lott have worked over so completly. I understand it was formerly the Humphery Home, the residence of the pharmicists who pre-dated the Murray Druggists. It had been terribly neglected as the years passed, but it is now again a place of beauty. Dr. and Mrs. Lee Hazen and their daughters are its first post-restoration tenants. I understand that this week national attention is being focused on one of the greatest of youth organizations, the Extension Service's 4-H. My three children and I were active in 4-H in Clackamus and Benton Counties, and when I came here I found that my step-children Bill and Karla had gained much more from Morrow County 4-H. It seems to me that this county has been most fortunate in having a fine group of professional and volunteer leaders who have inspired the youth here to outstanding achievement. It is also so fortunate that the organization has fine camping facilities at Cutsforth Park. As I am typing this column, bright morning sunshine is streaming through the east-facing windows of my kitchen-office. I hope it is foretelling a happy week and that the usual, annual reports of hunting accidents will be few and far between. It is so good to know that the wheat harvest has at last been about completed. When I could get to my Saturday newpaper's report on Heppner High's football game of last Friday night, I was sorry to learn of the over-time loss to Weston-McEwen. It hurts to spoil an unbeaten record but the loss could be the impetus to further achievements. The very sad news of this past week has been the sudden death of His Holiness Pope John Paul I. That amazingly gentle, frail, very understanding man was so instantly beloved by all Christians throughout the world. Such great expectations were held for his reign which so unfortunately became so very brief.
