-vr ,, -j The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, July 26, 1979 FIVE With Justine Wrathr rford You've probably noted the high temperatures in most of Morrow. Our area certainly does have definite seasonal highs and lows. In some ways in recent years more has-been done about the weather than simply talking about it. Jane Rawlins says she was in Walla Walla during its 106 temperature day and found that only when she left the air-conditioned automobile could she begin to realize how hot it really was. Eleanor Gonty and I drove to my daughter's home between Cheney and Spokane last Friday in a non-aircondi-tioned car and realized every minute how hot it was (not quite 106 degrees) As we observed several men in dusty fields on tractors I felt concern for the non-cab vehicles and wondered if the cab jobs were aircooled and jf their operators were copier than we were. Last Saturday we spent several hours walking about in Spokane's spectacular, downtown Sky walk Shopping Area. That city has certainly done plenty about the weather. The street-spanning, carpeted, air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter, walkways which connect all of the major stores at their second-floor levels give shoppers many miles of climate control. We had a most knowledgeable guide for our tour. My daughter Ann's husband Ray Chenhall, an architect who worked with other architects in designing and supervising the creation of the latest sectors of the Skywalk Project, led us around and told of some of the problems and solutions that its architects and builders faced. During the middle of last week a large group (more than 60) senior citizens found Cutsforth Park much cooler than most of their homes. Local seniors were joined by county residents from northernly points and by visitors from several . Contingent counties. Marion Hayden drove the county senior bus. Two other senior citizen busses also brought passengers to the park. Cooks Eleanor Gonty and Marilyn Bergstrom and Mealsite Director Pat Brindle provided a large, delicious noon meal for all. For over a year, youthful Brad Christensen of the Bank of Eastern Oregon has been living at the corner of Cannon andGilmore streets and has been such a pleasant and helpful neighbor. Brad left Heppner on Sunday for larger career opportunities in Portland where he is beginning employment as business manager for Associate Commercial Corporation a subsidiary of Gulf and Western Industries. Brad has been very active in the Lions Club here, giving much time and efforts to the clubs projects. He says he has enjoyed living and working in this community and knows he will miss it. Year around, there is an exciting, educational, public exhibit of outstanding historic articles in the County Museum which shares the attractive, modern, North Main Street, park surrounded building which was given to the community by Amanda Duvall and has been enlarged several times by its donor. A quick glance at the visitors' register shows that in July more than 90 out-of-town visitors signed in there. Three from Virginia, several from Arizona and from Alaska, others were from Florida and Colorado and many from points in California, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Comments following their names repeat the word "interesting" and state "what a fine museum for any population area," "a really great collection", "most educational and enjoyable." After many visits to the museum during my years here, I am always delighted to view its new additions and improved arrangements. Last week I got a first look at the 33 framed sets of local Indian arrowheads that are a recent contribution from Katherine Bisbee, Waldport, daughter of county pioneer Lou Bisbee. Katherine has contributed many personal and family treasures to the museum and library here. Our county is blessed with an active Historical Society that supports and strengthens the museum curator and its administrative board. As often is the case, the Morrow County Museum is appreciated more by traveling visitors than by its home folks. Most outside viewers are positive that it is the "best museum in all of Eastern Oregon." Hopefully, if the hot weather continues, more persons of all ages will be enjoying the air-conditioned pleasures to be found as they visit the library and museum here. Only the little nearby schoolhouse annex is, as always, without the electrical magic of air cooling. The Heppner Library is open from one until five p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 7:30 until 9:30 on Thursday evenings and from two until four p.m. Saturdays. Museum hours are from noon until five p.m. om Mondays and Wednesdays, from ten until five p.m. on Saturdays and from noon until five p.m. on Sunday afternoons. Mrs. Harnett will come to open the building for out-of-town visitors at other times.
