It has been pretty hard to get one's mind and thoughts
away from the weather we have been having. I heard one
cheerful thought or maybe not so cheerful voiced by
Cornett Green. He said he thought people were making too
big a fuss about the cold, "I remember seeing it twice this
cold!"
Last week I decided I might read something that would
help me keep warmer. I got thinking how smart the practice
of some species of animals, known as hibernation, seems.
How great it would be to just curl up and doze during the
frigid spells and not be worrying about frozen pipes and icy
problems.
It seems that animals that hibernate generally eat large
amounts of food before they go into their sleeplike state. I
know that many of us have fulfilled this part of the scheme as
we've consumed quantities, of holiday goodies, fruitcake,
cookies and candies.
The additional food which is stored as fat in the animals'
bodies is used as food during their hibernation. How
clever no grocery shopping or food preparations!
Sometimes I wonder why humans can't do some of the smart
things animals do.
Further reading showed me that "true" hibernation
takes place only among warm-blooded animals such as birds,
bats, ground squirrels, hamsters, hedgehogs, marmots and
fat-tailed lemurs. These creatures do not have to wait until
the weather gets warm to become active but seem to be able
to arouse themselves now and then "in fact, true
hibernators spend the winter taking a series of short naps
rather than one long sleep."
Schemes other than "true" hibernation are common
among cold-blooded animals. Insects such as butterflies and
moths can achieve this by changing from a caterpillar into a
pupa (protective cacoon). Many highly developed cold
blooded animals such as lizards, snakes and turtles, and
frogs and toads, simply cool down as the air around them
cools down. In winter, their body processes almost cease.
"Unlike true hibernators, they do not become active until
warm weather arrives."
Many persons believe that bears hibernate, but they do
not hibernate in the true sense. They sleep through the
winter, but their body temperature does not drop much below
normal. Biologists use the term "carnivorean lethargy" to
describe this winter sleep of bears.
So I learned something from my reading. Instead of just
calling myself lazy these last few weeks, I can now claim
"carnivorean lethargy" to a lesser degree than bears can. It
also makes good sense that the Russians adopted the bear as
their national symbol he is warm-blooded and has found a
great way to get through those 50 and 60 degrees below zero
winters they often have.
Those who have friends or family living in Alaska have
noticed that recent weather reports show higher readings up
there than we have had here hard to believe at this time of
the year. A young couple visiting in my daughter's home near
Spokane was so eager to return to their costal Alaskan home.
They felt much too cold in Eastern Washington, which has
had better weather than we have had in Heppner lately.
If you would like a good suggestion for putting winter
evenings to worthwhile use consider the variety of classes
being offered in this community. They are supervised by
Blue Mountain Community College and are coordinated here
by Nancy Brownfield.
Unless eight or so persons enroll in each class the
offering will be dropped. So if you are interested in any of the
classes which are being offered for four, six or eight week
periods, hurry and investigate and begin attending.
Many of the classes offer college credit at just $9 per
hour. Senior Citizens have the opportunity to attend without
paying any fee. Most of the classes had their first meetings
last week, but are open for further enrollment this coming
week. Some of these classes, which have been arranged by
competent instructors, will have to be cancelled unless a few
more persons show up at their second meetings. It is sad to
hear people complaining that there is nothing to do in this
community when there are such fine opportunities awaiting.
I was favorably impressed with the American Library
Association film that Marion Abrams and the AAUW
arranged for viewing last Saturday. It emphasized the power
of community pressures. Just now a long, carefully prepared
planning study on the services and operations of Pioneer
Memorial Hospital is being circulated among local citizens.
This study was funded by the county and was done by
Northwest Medical Foundation of Portland. It offers
suggestions for the continuation of the hospital and for
upgrading medical care throughout the counties of Morrow,
Gilliam and Wheeler.
Whatever the future of the hospital in Heppner becomes
is the responsibility of the people who live here and in the
nearby counties. This study should be very helpful in
directing community pressure.

The matter of censorship

in the plot. An older, Ameri

served as advisor to the
Student Activity Committee
needed to defend the commit

decision to permit a contro

Everyone concerned with the
decision was criticized by
various members of the com
munity who threatened the
committee, the newspaper,
the school principal, the
librarian and others.
The librarian was asked to
remove periodicals which
gave biographical facts about
the speaker and reviewed his
pronouncements. The younger
teachers and administrators,
fearful of not establishing
their tenure, would not sup

so keenly about the constitu

who abhorred censorship.
