The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 27, 197-FIVE uilh Justine Wi'iillH'iford J V mi Another busy weekend. How the Heppner and lone football teams shone! Saturday saw some citizens trek over to Arlington to the fall auction and a larger group gathered at Heppner High School for the afternoon workshop on Elk Management in Timber Country. All weekend a dedicated group of lady garden members worked together to present the 30-Year Anniversary Garden Show and Tea at lone. This event brought many to lone who enjoyed seeing that attractive community, attending the churches there. Those who saw one of the two slide shows that Helen Martin arranged were very impressed with the way the lone Garden Club has improved its community through the years. How it has changed the Woolery Memorial Park, has increased the tree and shrub plantings around the publicly used buildings and along the streets. Each member and family takes such pride in maintaining a beautiful yard. Each of the ladies from the Heppner and lone clubs wore a hat during the show which helped to identify her as a hostess. Although there was nothing said about the hat show it was an interesting sideshow. We hear that hats are coming back into style and some will fear them and some will welcome them. South Morrow is really gaining a more international look than it has had in many years since there is a young lady from England at Heppner Elementary School, a Japanese student and a Finnish student at Heppner High School and a Laotion family of boat people expected soon. Perhaps we will have to stop calling our community "isolated" now that world-wide visitors are among us. Don't forget the Morrow County Historical Society's annual meeting on Sunday, Sept. 30 at the Lexington Grange Hall. Let the Soroptimists hear if you have rummage to give before their Oct. 6 sale.

CO?J2S TO k WilY-OUT WEIGH-IN Adventist pastor delivers his farewell sermon Saturday, Sept. 29, Pastor Bill Poole will give his farewell sermon at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Heppner, celebrating the Communion Service at its close. Pastor Poole, who has been here barely one year, has been asked to fill a vacancy in Ellensburg, Wa. Besides being pastor of two churches, he will join other ministers of the area in a chaplaincy program for the Central Washington University. The leadership of the Upper Columbia Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and northern Idaho) ex pressed regret at asking him to move so soon after his coming to Heppner. However, they feel that his training and experience have given him the unique qualifications needed for this particular ministry. He will be leaving early next week. Poole stopped his packing long enough to say thought fully, "I would like to thank the many people in the community who have made my stay here an enjoyable one. I'm just sorry to be leaving so soon, because I would like to have gotten acquainted with more of them." Agreeing that with the new work will come a new challenge, he nevertheless will miss the people of this area. What would he like to leave with the people of this community?
