A future barrel racer (if she takes after her mother) was born to Bill and Patti McCoin of Condon March 21 at Walla Walla. Wash. The young miss weighed 9 lbs.. I oz. and has been named Katie Leeanne.

Ashley McCabe moved to The Dalles Sunday where he has employment. Richard Hamlett returned to work at the Kinzua Mill after being off 10 days due to an injury in his arm. My complaint for the week: Recently there was some vandalism in the laundromat, all the bottles, after being emptied on the floor, and the brushes used for dry cleaning disappeared, and the place was a general mess. At the Standard Station lot, bottles were broken, as they were in front of the Stefani building and the Oddfellows Hall. It is a privelege to use these places, so it behooves young and old alike to see that such things don't happen again, and to have consideration for the owners, who have to clean up and replace all missing items. Also we do n' want a bad name like lots of other places have. i Coming Events April 6: The Topic Club is having a traveling food sale for the benefit of the lone Public Library.

United Methodists change worship hours At the beginning of this year Ihe congregation of Heppner's United Methodist Church began holding Sunday morn ing worship at 10:30 a.m. After the almost three month's trail period each person was asked to vote on the possibility of returning to 11 a.m. winter hours and 10 a.m. summer hours or of continuing year around at 1(1: SO. Minister Steve Tollefson announced that he has tabu lated the votes turned in the last two Sundays and the result shows an overwhelming vote in favor of making 10:30 Sunday worship a permanent practice. Not only has the hour of worship been changed, but also a unique, special pro gramming has been worked out by the congregational education committee mem bers Joy Krein, Ann Spicer and Rev. Tollefson. During the hour, with occa sionally a few minutes more, in addition to the traditional worship a period of Bible Study for adults has been inserted preceding which the children have their own ser monette and during which the children attend brief Bible study classes. Thus, families come together for worship and study at 10:30, and there is no earlier Sunday School. However, the church is continuing its weekly released time groups for first through sixth graders at 2:30 each Monday afternoon. This pro gram has been well-attended all of the school vear.
