Marsha Lovgren weds William S.

Parents of the bride and groom are Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Lovgren, Heppner, Ore. and Mr. and Mrs. William S. Shannon, Sr., New Canaan, Ct. The bride's gown was de signed of white satin organza, featuring lily of the valley embroidery outlining the neckline and bodice. The flowing skirt extended into a chapel length train. Her fingertip veil of illusion was outlined with scalloped edging and was held with a cap of Annual fall rummage set by Soroptimists The annual Fall Rummage Sale sponsored by the Hepp ner Soroptimist Club will be held on one day only this year. Oct. 6 is the date set for the event, which, every year, has helped to provide funds for scholarships given by the Soroptimists. The sale will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Fair Pavilion. A good assortment of rum mage has already been dona ted. Those having items to be picked up may call Elaine George, 676-9442 or Marlene Gray, 676-5395. With Justine Weatherfonl' J How lucky we feel that the closest thing to a hurricane ever recorded in this county was the unusual cyclone which swept through Lexington in 1888. It occured on June 14, exactly 15 years before the greatest of Heppner's floods June 14, 1903. That funnel-shaped cloud formed over Jordan Buttes, struck the Lexington Grove (the picnic area) and moved through the business section before continuing out toward Butter Creek. One person was killed, but no estimate of the financial loss is given by the reporters of the event. Now most of the annual community festivals in north-central Oregon have ended for 1979 and the street flags advertising them have been tucked away. For many Round-Up fans and Heppner Parade fans the death of Ethel H. Lehman was a terrific shock. Just a week ago Saturday, along with thousands of others, I watched her last parade appearance as she rode her beloved Danny Boy in the Pendleton Dressup Parade, the very night before her death. Danny Boy, her 18-year-old Appaloosa, was led along the streets of Pendleton in last Friday's Westward Ho Parade without his blue and silver clad, 78-year-old mistress mounted so proudly on his back. After reading the high praise that the Echo community has for Ethel Lehman, I began to think of some ladies in her age racket that are still so active in Morrow County. To name a few of the great-grandmother set who help make life more pleasant for many younger folk, include Edith Nichoson, lone, who is still so active after 30 blooming years in the lone Garden Club and who keeps the best front yard in town and who will help with the Flower Show this Sunday. Here in Heppner several who are still very active are Hazel Hamlin the super cook who almost daily shares her culinary treats with many friends and neighbors and Emma Drake who is insisting on doing a Tom Sawyer act and painting her own fence in spite of those who advise her that she is "too old." It has been exciting to be hearing of several possible new energy developments. The Larry Lindsays have surely explained great possibilities for the use of living, annually-replaceable, solar energy via plant conversion with part of the plants' elements made into alcohol. It is so good that they attended the special school in Kansas which is convincing many that there is a practical process "which will not have an adverse effect on food supplies" and which will help to make our nation independent of the OPEC oil monopoly. Just a few days before the Lindsay presentation here, I heard of another hopeful new energy scheme at a "Changing Lifestyles" workshop in Pendleton. The speaker told of a process called the Stewart Energy System which puts two different gases at work against each other. This system of producing energy claims to be 95 per cent efficient and a rather minimal investment is said to provide all the energy needed in a home or small business for many, rather carefree years. Last weekend I attended a conference in La Grande and felt again the excitement of a college town making ready for the fall influx of students. There were "Welcome Back" and "Welcome to E.O.C." banners scattered about. Most of the apartments I saw had "No Vacancy" signs out. The annual scramble for school-year housing made me recall my many years in Corvallis where each year it seemed there were more students who wanted off-campus housing arrangements. Way back when I left home to go to college almost every student lived in campus housing in the dormitories or with fraternity groups. Lifestyles seem to constantly change. Next Sunday it is hoped that many folks will head for lone High School Cafetorium to exhibit their flowers and-or enjoy viewing blooms others have grown and have fashioned into artistic designs. Admission is free. Tea will be served by lone and Heppner Garden Club members between 2 and 5 p.m. Soroptimist International members of Heppner have decided to hold their Fall Rummage Sale Oct. 6. President Clista Vernard says that the collecting of saleable items is beginning now. The Soroptimists spend lots of time and energy getting ready for this sale which will take place on just one day this year, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. This well-established fall sale draws shoppers from long distances. Money received will go to the club's scholarship fund. One Soroptimist, Ola Mae Groshens, who has been jway many months, has returned to Heppner and will probablybe able to help with the big sale again as she has for many years. No one can say for certain what the weather here will be in the next eight months, but it almost makes one feel guilty to be enjoying our lovely, sunny autumn while so many are suffering in the hurrican areas. match floral trim to complete the bridal ensemble. The bride wore a single strand of pearls and carried a bouquet of white roses, Fugi mums, stephanotis, baby breath accented with fresh, wild rosemary and white ribbon.

Monthly gasoline supply reports show that gasoline supplies will increase slightly for Pacific Northwest consu mers in the month of Septem ber over last month's supply, according to Jack B. Robert son, Regional Representative to the Secretary. In releasing the September figures, Robertson cautioned motorists against dropping their conservation efforts. "Although the public has made a noticeable adjustment to driving with available gasoline supplies, we are still on the ragged edge of supply. Continued constraint on the part of motorists is necessary to help up through this tight supply situation." A state-by-state, August to Sepember comparision for the Pacific Northwest shows Ore gon had 115.6 million of gallons of gasline supplies in August, 1979 compared to 120.8 million gallons at the same time last year. Woman wins Adventists' Fair prize Fairgoers who dropped a card into the box at the Adventist booth at the fair, hoping to win the large, full-color -illustrated copy of the book "Bible Readings for the Home Circle", may have wondered if that was the end of it. Not quite. It had been decided to have the drawing after the fair closed to give late-comers opportunity to enter. Therefore, the following Saturday, with the congrega tion as witness, Pastor Bill Poole opened the box, thor oughly mixed the cards, and called pre-schooler Bobby Ponce to come and draw one out. The name on the card was Darcy Holloman. When Miss Holloman was presented with the book a few days later, she orotested, "But I never won anything in my life." Recover ing from her surprise, she accepted the book when Pas tor Poole assured her that this time she had, indeed, won. The church members were happy to be able to offer as a prize a book they value highly in their own libraries. TV (1.50, 10-word j-i- tne "Morrow County VVtfy Jf Marketplace"! jwSrZllr JPLmZ?
