Another busy week. Some friends have had a week in the
mountains hunting for the elusive deer they expected to be
bringing in last weekend. What most of us consider dandy
weather hasn't pleased some hunters who have found it
difficult to track deer in.
While County Museum Curator Rachel Harnett has been
visiting her son Melvin and his family at Issaquah,
Washington, I have been helping to keep the museum open to
visitors.
Mr. and Mrs. Rod Rosebrook, Redmond, who have a
private museum and an antique business there, spent more
than two hours taking in the exhibits here last Wednesday
afternoon. When they were ready to leave, he said he had a
little gift for the museum. He went to their car and brought
back two metal strips and the No. 4 Bobbed Wire Bible.
The first strip is shown as illustration No. 11 in the
Bobbed Wire Bible. It is Brinkerhoff-Martelle barbed wire
Vz" by V and was patented Aug. 11, 1885. The second strip is
a steel band No. 330 in that bible. It was used around a Nazi
concentration camp during or before World War II. Thus the
museum's collection grows.
I told the Rosebrooks about Shorty Peck's collection and
about the new museum of historic farm machinery out at our
fairground, but I don't know if they were able to see either of
these things in which they are very interested.
Last week I learned that Scott Mason is about to leave
Heppner. Scott has worked at the hospital here for several
years on the graveyard shift. He was so kind and helpful to
many patients. My husband Bill was especially fond of
Scott's care. We hope he will be successful wherever and
whatever he decides to go and to do; and we are certain he
will continue to be kind and helpful.
Another departure that concerns many people is that of
Father "Rock" who has made many friends here while he
has filled in as priest at St. Patricks. The regular priest
Father John O'Brien is due back from a family visit to
Ireland this weeTt.
Maybe many of you learned before I did that Father
Beard, a much beloved former priest here who was the
leader in building the present, beautiful church, has been
transferred from Milton-Freewater, where he also built a
church, to Klamath Falls where he is working with several
other priests. Father Beard's original home was Baker, and
it is hoped that he will again return to northeastern Oregon.
The A.A.U.W. Heppner branch, got its year's program
well underway after the members and guests enjoyed a
sumptuous dinner of international dishes. Committees are
already working in preperation for the organization's
first-Saturday-in-December Artifactory. Kathy Hazen is in
charge of collecting used books of all kinds for the booksale
section. She and her committee are making plans to have
collection boxes for donated books at the various filling
' stations in Heppner, Lexington and lone.
Those who went to hear Ned Walter tell about Belize
certainly learned a lot about a very small country that I, for
one, have been quite unaware of.
I understand that the number of children being excused
from school on Monday afternoons at 2:30 to attend
released-time religious training sessions took a big jump this
week when St. Patrick's held its first catachism classes. The
four participating protestant churches found their enroll
ments increased, also.
What a packed full day this Thursday promises to be. At
10:30 a.m. mothers and pre-school children will be gathering
at the library for an exciting story hour. From 11 a.m. until 3
p.m. this afternoon all ambitious, interested craftspeople
will go to the Fairgrounds Annex to learn about making
clever Christmas gifts from the clever Extention Division
personel and the resource persons working with them on
demonstrations.
Then this evening everyone will want to spend the time
between 7 and 9 p.m. in downtown Heppner at the Merchants
Annual Extravagance the night of a thousand buys known
as MOONLIGHT MADNESS.
These activities, along with six or seven other
happenings I hope to attend, should bring me into contact
with most of the members of this community this week.
