FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. Oct. 19, 1978

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. The attractive Ron Palmer home on Gilmore and
the pre-flood home of Jim Rogers on Cannon Street are

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.
