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.
