FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. Oct. 19, 1978 V with Justine This last June I was impressed by what an unusual year 1903 was the Ford Car Co. was born, and Heppner was pretty much washed away in a disasterous flood that year. Now in October I find out about more remarkable happenings just 75 years ago. Prime comedian Bob Hope was born in England that year, and the great baseball competition between the winners of the American and National Leagues known asjhe World Series started in 1903. Annually, I along with millions of other folks, love the World Series. We get so caught up in the fun and excitement that we don't want to miss a minute of the excellant TV coverage. The series will be over by the time this is printed as I write it stands at L.A. Dodgers, 2, and the N.Y. Yankees, 3 games. When it began in sunny, hot, California the Dodgers really looked like big winners. However, back in chilly, rainy, 50 degree Yankeeland, the N.Y. team outplayed the west-coasters completely. I especially enjoyed the Saturday game, even with its long rainbreak, because of the big rhubarb which involved players from both teams, the umpires and particularly the fiery, rotund Dodger manager Tom Lasorda. The Sunday game was almost too one-sided with so many Dodger errors and so many Yankee hits. I thought the most outstanding Sunday performance was given by Yankee pitcher Beattie. The Extension Division arranged Christmas Craft displays and demonstrations in the Fairground Annex on last Thursday were so delightful. Many talented folks from Umatilla County joined with our own clever crafts people in showing eye-opening, inspirational, to-be-made-at-home gift possibilities. If we who observed and who collected take-home instruction sheets can come close to producing the wares displayed by the experts, this should be a brighter Christmas than ever. Did you notice how the moon beamed brightly on last Thursday evening's Moonlight Sale? I felt happy to get a good start on my Christmas shopping with several dandy buys. Friday it was good that the children who were having a school holiday while teachers attended meetings and workshops had our nice, fall sunshine beckoning them to play outdoors. Saturday evening I was so lucky to be invited to the County Fair recognition dinner. This very nice occasion honored those citizens who have been active workers in arranging and presenting the fair and rodeo here. It was announced that Liz Curtis will leave as Fair secretary in a few months, and that the board will need to find a replacement for Liz who has been a successful, hard-working secretary. i Have you ever noticed the kind, good deeds that busy Lois Winchester does? Although Lois still carries on as the longest operating business person in Heppner, she finds time to do lots of gardening, lots of cooking and canning and to be an outstanding friend to beasts and people. Recipients of her kindness tell me that she delivers many bouquets of her bright blooms to our elderly and homebound. Often she takes . along jars of her homecooked goodies, too. I don't suppose anyone, through the years, has taken nearly as many gifts to the hospital here as Lois has. Last weekend although lots of successful bird hunters must have hauled their trophies past my house, I couldn't see , the birds to count them. I did see many pickup loads of wood ; come by. Although I didn't keep score, I think more than a hundred cords of wood have moved in on the Willow Creek Road the last few weeks. The ambitious, industrious persons equiped with those wonderful chain saws who have been working to get winter fuel remind me of the little fable about the grasshopper and the ant. They all qualify as fine, stock-piling ants who should have satisfying and comfortable homes this winter. I've heard that two unusual homes have been sold recently.

Pouring By Justine Weatherford Citizens over 55 years of age are eligible for special senior benefits under the various programs of the State of Oregon and the federal government. In this, and most counties, this means attend ance at Senior Citizen meals and use of Senior Centers in those communities that have such facilities. This week the R. and W. Drive-In in Heppner is begin ning a new discount plan for seniors. Rita Harris says that any citizen over 60 years of age will be given a 10 per cent discount there between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday afternoons. She said they will not be required to show their Senior Citizen cards that they just need to admit their age. I have noticed that Murray Drug Co. has been advertising a 10 per cent discount on prescriptions to seniors over , 65 years of age. So it seems the older one gets the more benefits are available.
