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.

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.

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.
