FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday November 16, 1978 1 .'i with Justine Weatherford Already water pipes are freezing. Everyone has hunted out mittens and warm scarves. Officially this part of the world is still in autumn winter won't arrive until Dec. 21, but when it arrives, most of us certainly hope it is no colder than the weather we are experiencing right now. Last Thursday Anna Johnson, Ruth Nutting, Irene Swanson and I felt we had really driven through winter when we encountered eight to ten inches of snow between the Heppner-Spray Highway and Camp Five on our way to Kinzua and Fossil. The winter -beautiful woods was so like a Christmas-card picture. However, driving was difficult without snow tires or chains. We arrived safely at the attractive home of Cheryl and Matt Greenup (she is Irene's granddaughter) just beyond Kinzua, and after a quick visit went on to the annual meeting of the Columbia Basin Electric Co-Op at Fossil. After we left Fossil where we enjoyed looking through the big mercantile store, we saw no more snow except the white stuff clinging to the bottom and sides of our car. Because I enjoy visiting the Christmas Bazaar at the U.M. Church in Arlington, we came home that way relishing the wonderful views as we drove north through the cold, clear miles of Gilliam County and then home south along Willow Creek. This is Ping Pong Weekend in Heppner. Attention of sports fans will be focused on the teams representing Haiti and Thailand both tropical countries where snow is practically unknown. The Elks Club is all set for a big Hawaiian Luau on Friday night which should bring a tropical atmosphere into this frigid area. There are two large American Elm trees in front of our home which I bless for the shade they provide on hot summer days, but which I feel much less enthusiastic about when the millions of leaves come tumbling down. Last Friday I got up the determination to rake leaves and to trundle them to the backyard garden. After about five wheelbarrow loads were moved, I took a break and did a few errands. When I told old-time resident Ed Gonty that I had raked the leaves, he laughingly told me that the effort was unnecessary here where we have dry cold that I was just following a habit I developed in the wet Willamette Valley. It was so cold that I was partly persuaded by Ed's reasoning and after more raking and hauling, accompanied by lots of barking and leaf scattering assistance from my puppy, I decided to heck with moving all the leaves this year. The Thursday before last I drove to Pendleton with four Methodist lady passengers. Before we left for home, I persuaded us to stop briefly at the Albertson Store. We all went in and several signed slips for a turkey give-away. Vicki Tollefson was later notified that she was a lucky winner of a free turkey. Last Thursday after the Columbia Basin meeting, my passenger Irene Swanson, was notified that she had won an electric appliance doorprize. Now I am beginning to feel like being the chauffeur is spoiling my luck I don't seem to know how to combine driving with winning prizes. Two boys, Ted and Jack, and their parents the Steve Tollefsons and the Terry Lillybridges, were the center of much attention last Sunday at the Methodist Church where a full house of Episcopalians and Methodists viewed the ceremonies of dedication and baptism. As Thanksgiving approaches it is so evident how blessed we are to live in our friendly, caring bit of the world. This Sunday, Nov. 19, the Christian Life Center Church is arranging a community potluck dinner at the Heppner Elementary School at 1 p.m. Father Kenneth Miller reminds us that at noon on Thanksgiving Day all are invited to come to All Saints' Church's Fellowship Hall for a festive potluck in front of the fireplace. The warm community gathering has become an annual event which cheers many who are alone for the holiday. During this week the Senior Citizen Mealsites will be providing an extra big Thanksgiving meal on Wednesday evening. Last Saturday those who traveled to Elgin experienced a cold, disappointing afternoon as Heppner High lost its playoff game. However the Saturday night Disco "Earthquake" Dance, with its modern music and a multitude of lights drew Global food problems to be aired Sunday at Hope Lutheran Church a good crowd to the Fair Pavilion Building. Reports are that it was very "NEAT!" We've already mentioned that this Saturday the championship ping pong match will be held at Heppner High at 5 p.m. and will be followed by a big party at the Elks Club.
