The lleppner (iazette-Tiines, Heppner, Oregop, Thursday, September 13, 1979 FIVE . .( VVith Justine Weatherford J 1979 fair results A In just over a week our northern hemisphere will experience its third climatic change as the Fall season begins on the autumnal equinox, Sept. 23, and the sun again begins to appear directly above the equator. It is so good to again have Don Gilliam's official observations telling us what the weather has done each week. Although families differ in their seasonal activities, it seems that fall is one of the busiest times for many. The ranchers are through with grain harvest, some are still haying, many are working their soil in preparation for seeding. Cattle will soon be moved from summer pastures into wintering situations where they can be fed and watched over. Prudent homemakers are busy preserving and storing food to be used after gardens freeze. (Here we have learned that this big change in temperatures can occur between the first half of September and late October.) How the lone and Heppner garden club members are hoping that their ardent prepartions for a garden show on Sept. 23 will not be wasted by a big freeze before that date. Again many families are looking more seriously toward the use of wood for winter heat. Each weekend pickups and trailers are loaded with wood cut in the nearby mountains and hauled home to wait the cold days and nights that are inevitable. Wood stoves are selling well at prices which would have flabergasted our ancestors. The Cliff Green family is installing an attractive model on a brick platform and against a brick back wall in the living room of their Gale Street home. School activities are underway. First football games have been played and the winners cheered. New teachers are being observed. Hopefully they and their families are adquately housed and can now join residents in school-year community activities. The lone area is welcoming its teachers at a get-aquainted reception at the High School Cafetorium tonight (Thursday). Church, lodge and club activities are off to renewed beginnings. At the well-attended first monthly Ladies' Night at the Elk's Club last week old friends enjoyed visiting with the Jack O'Conners who came from their Mesa, Arizona home to stop here briefly. They were the well-liked manager of the J.C. Penny Store in Heppner before they were moved on in the 1950's. What a busy day last Saturday proved. The Boardman Harvest Festival kept many county residents occupied. The first-place trophy winning Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court and pennant bearers were taken from that appearance by helpful parents to Pendleton where they made ready to appear in the eveing's Dress-Up Parade that officially began this year's Round-Up Week. Quite a few Morrow folks are spending time enjoying this big show and helping with arrangments and participating in related activities. Butter Creek's Darrell and Sue Vinson and Heppner's Pete and Anna Schwarzin paraded their prize antique cars Saturday night. Sue appropriately wore a 1925 vintage, blue, crepe de chene, beaded gown as she proudly rode in the 1925 Model-T Ford touring car. Anna and Pete showed off their darling 1926 Model-T Ford roadster. No cars or other mechanized equipment will be paraded in tomorrow's (Friday's) big Westward Ho parade, however. Meanwhile, last' Saturday was an extra busy day in Heppner as three wedding drew many relatives and friends of the principals to town. Because I was committed to spend the day and evening in Pendleton, I haven't a first hand report on the ceremonies but friends tell me each affair was delightful. It was pleasing to chat a little with Rosemary Parks on Friday afternoon and to know that she and husband Neil were in town visiting around and attending a wedding. They are happy in the Willamette Valley she reports. Last week and the next several weeks, some persons note that they are spending few evenings at home as school-year activities really get swinging. Many organizations are having great September reunions as old members and interested new folks gather to put new programs into gear for their next eight or nine months of playing and working together. l-f X Y Of J J J i m FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT THE ourf St. Iirfief KELLOGGS nf?c All Brcn 16 oz.
