SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 14, 1979 lone residents participate Crali course tan glit S With Justine Weatherford J It is so good to catchup a little with news about young people who have left this community. Steve McLaughlin, an outstanding member of the class of 1977, is about to begin his internship as an x-ray technician at the Douglas County Hospital in Roseburg. His proud family, the Bob McLaughlins, live in the far eastern reaches of our county, and thankfully the fine young McLaughlins come to Heppner schools, though their mail address is Pilot Rock. They were the first children picked up each morning by Bill Weatherford before his bus route became Bill Rawlin's route. I have heard that Betty McLaughlin often treated both bus-driving Bills to super coffee and cookies. The many relatives and friends are happy abouf the college degree that Linda Cooper earned at the University of Kansas this spring. Linda now holds a B.S. in accounting which would certainly have pleased her late mother, June Field. Robert Henry, our favorite Navajo, who also graduated with the H.H.S. class of 1977, tells me he is about to depart for his homeland. He will again reside at Gallup, New Mexico, where he has many family members. We know that Bob learned much here and we hope his knowledge and his many talents will help his people. He tells me not to expect him to take over the leadership of the Navajo Nation immediately. Last weekend's excitement started on Friday for the 100 persons who made the great, educational bus trip to our north county. I surely enjoyed every minute of the eight hours. It was so interesting to learn as we progressed north that the best wheat crop this year is in the North Lex. area. Seeing the mint plantings and the new strawberry project was exciting. Before Jean Bennett, driving the lead bus, and Bill Cox, driving the second bus, delivered us to the huge Simtag Enterprise, our bus professor Harold Kerr informed those on bus one that the many 125 acre cirles of potatoes we would view need to be watered every day and fertilized carefully during the wettings while they grow so rapidly. Judge D.O. informed riders of the second bus similarly; however, Emile Groshens and Ed LaTrace, who made the tour by private car missed both these educational lectures. So sad. Seeing the computerized Simtag operation and hearing its efficient General Manager Ellis Charvet explain and field diverse questions about it was thrilling. I learned that the 235 circle farming business leases 30,000 acres from Boeing and employs about 200 persons. For 60 days, between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, they harvest 7,500 tons of potatoes per day. Charvet also told us of the 10,000 sheep which have been an economical addition to the farm which has its own 200 miles of roads. G-T News Editor Jim Hackett will undoubtedly describe the tour from Simtag on, as he joined us when we left that vast enterprise to enter the tremendous Carty Project. When I returned Friday evening, a good letter from Inez Erwin, which was mailed from Goppingen May 30, was waiting in my Rt. 2 mailbox. Inez wrote that she had helped daughter Shirley, president of the N.C.O. wives organization, with projects during German-American Week at Cooke Barracks, and she and the foiu Clarks had enjoyed some family camping in southern Germany. "The Clark's new tent proved to be wind and rain proof while we camped near large Lake Chiem. We also drove to see Hitler's headquarters and viewed Ludwig's Castle, a gorgeous place on an island. "On Saturday we attended the Junior Olympics in Munich where older grandson David Clark won a gold medal in javelin throwing. More than 1,200 boy scouts participated. Shirley is a troup leader and had her scouts entered in all eight events which kept her very busy all day." Inez's letter closed with "I'll be seeing you in July." My Saturday fun included visiting two yard sales, a regular summer sport here, and having my first look at Heppner's newest shop Dianna's "This and That." It was pleasing to enter the historic, main-street builing; to look around; to visit with Dianna Fifield and her husband, contractor Ken Fifield who has done a nice job remodeling the premises. All day Saturday and most of Sunday, I intermittingly observed the Bob Shumans and family and friends transforming the old home (pre-flood) on the east side of Gilmore St., which they purchased from the Cal Sumners, into a stunning, new-looking, white aluminum-sided, modern beauty. You should drive by and admire it. The county road crew might lose a good man if enough people try to get Bob and Lot ena to supervise transformation of their old houses. Sunday was great for me too. After an unusually fine church service I was invitedto dinner by aSDecial friend and I enjoyed visiting with several other special friends. Also we drove by the town swimming pool and enjoyed watching the big crowd of all ages enjoying the sun and water during the opening afternoon's free swim. We stopped near Nancy Brownfield's corner spot in the pool where she carefully watched over her children. Ladies. I want to report the latest fashion news straight from Paris. Go slit the side-seams of all your dresses. I saw some slit almost to the top of the thighs. Some were worn over tight-fitting trousers and some didn't appear to have much but skin under them though the weather was cool. This fashion notion has come full circle because when I was in Vietnam in 1965 1 admired the Vietnamese women in their side-slit dresses which were called Owzi (I think.) They wore white cotton trousers under their soft, colored, silk tops and their slit-to-the-waist skirts fluttered gracefully in the breeze. I purchased a small painting on white silk of two of the beautiful, slightly slant-eyed ladies with long black tresses in these native costumes. Now that you're thinking Paris, let's move north a bit to West Germany. If you happened to read TIME MAGAZINE of June 11, you've learned of its "Pride and Prosperty", and you noted that its gross national production came up 3.4 in 1978 and that in April 1979 there were only 3.8 of its civilian labor force unemployed while the inflation rate is being carefully controlled and has amounted to only 3.5 for the 12 months from April '78 to April '79. , It is very evident to travelers and to residents that prices are much higher in Paris than in the cities of Germany, specifically, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and even Berlin. Another thing I feel pro-German about is the great interest its citizens take in their elections. How I hope Americans get over the apathetic attitude so many have toward voting and I mean voting at every level of government city, county, state and national. f - I V- ' :l 'ataN 1 Vtft Sheri Ann Regan and Aaron Klinger R egan-Klinge r to exchange vows Sheri Ann Regan, Her mis ton, and Aaron Anthony Klinger, lone, are engaged to be married Saturday, June 23 at the First Christian Church, 775 W.
