Wow! How did we get past the middle of October so quickly?
The name of this tenth month of our year comes from the
Latin word for eight, and October was the eighth in the
Roman calendar. (Maybe that explains somewhat why it is
whizzing by.)
History states the Roman Senate tried to name the month
"Antoninus" after an emperor, "Faustinus" after his wife,
and "Tacitus" after a great Roman historian, but the people
continued to call it October. From the time of Julius Caesar,
October has had 31 days which vanish along with ghosts and
goblins on Halloween.
Then it's Thanksgiving and suddenly Christmas!
But before Yuletide, Heppner will be having a very big,
special event day. The well-established arts and crafts sale
known as the AAUW Artifactory is always presented on the
first Saturday of December. This year that day will also see
the Heppner Garden Club's Greens Workshop. The Heppner
Merchants are also considering Dec. 1 as the day for their
Christmas Shopping Opening. The combination of these
Christmas events will draw many people to our community.
How nice it is to see Postmaster Hubert Wilson back at
work. Although his efficient helpers kept everything moving
along during his absence, it seems right that Hubert should
return to his post.
How sad to learn of the demise of a doggie hero, Herman,
who was such an important part of Judy and Norm Rickert's
family. We understand that little, hitch
hiking Herman was poisoned. No more trips out Three-Mile
way to visit his dear friend and former neighbor Lois
Winchester.
It seems that other dogs and cats have been suffering from
doses of strychnine lately. Maybe we do have a few too many
unloved pets roaming around this area but how sad it is to
have beloved pets poisoned. How sad it is to have unwanted,
unloved animals left to roam about without loving homes.
The Richert's neighbor, Rev. Mike Sheridan, tells me he
and others worry that perhaps small children might pick up
the poison left out for animals.
Bird hunting kept many residents outdoors over the
weekend. Young Mike McBride told me he shot his first
pheasant and proudly showed me a fist full of feathers.
Lots of us were hooked to our TVs for many hours of World
Series ups and downs. I had determined that I wanted the
bold bucaneers, the Pittsburgh Pirates, to beat those
Baltimore Birds. Friend Ola Mae Groshens said she was
betting on the Orioles just because their name like hers
begins with "O" and this is an "O" month.
Saturday after my Pirates were badly beaten I decided to
take a ride up into the forest. I made my first lookaround at
the Blake Ranch where I had not been for several years.
What a booming resort area that has become. I spotted many
new homes in new locations since my last trip there, which
in ;st have been about when we sold our "Loyal Parker
Cabin" to the Ray Boyces.
Have you noted that some exciting birthdays are being
featured in this month's news?
The electric light was born on Oct. 21, 1879. How difficult it
would be to carry on without it as men did for countless
centuries. Imagine all of us running about carrying torches
after sundown.
Not quite as old as the light bulb, is the aspirin tablet. The
analgesic, acetylsalicylic acid, was recognized and promoted
by Heinrich Dreser, a German scientist in 1899. This
80-year-old is a by-product of coal tar but is now
synthetically manufactured. Many cannot imagine world
wide aches and pains not being soothed for mankind by the
magic of aspirin.
Between the World Series and Thanksgiving, quite a few of
us will be getting our extra outdoor exercise raking up
leaves. Some trees give up their foliage more quickly than
others, Inez Erwin's lawn is already covered with golden
drop-downs bui lucky for me, the two huge Dutch Elms in
front of my home are being considerate and holding on to
their leaves until I can find a better time for raking.
a private law practice. The
workshop will include info
rmation, not only for farmers,
but for anyone owning proper
ty. While there is no pre-regis-tration
required to attend, it
would be appreciated if any
one planning to attend would
call 676-9642 so adequate
materials may be ordered for
the workshop. There is no
charge for the workshop. Both
men and women are invited to
participate.

A recent survey shows there
are nearly 1,000 senior citizens
in Morrow County. It seems
that not all of them realize
that any resident over 55 years
of age is most welcome to
come to the three senior
mealsites in the county to
share excellent meals once or
twice each week all year
round. ,
Besides the delicious, nutri
tious meals, seniors enjoy
companionship and hear help-

Local farmer shares trip to China
at Chamber of Commerce meeting
Frank Anderson spoke at
the Chamber of Commerce
meeting Monday at the West
of Willow Restaurant about
his trip to China.
He showed slides on the trip
he took with his wife Kay in
June.
He said China is made up of
a good size class of very rich
people and a lot of poor people
but a very small middle class.
He said 600-800 Chinese people
move to Hong Kong from
other areas every week.
"The Chinese people raise
food close to the cities so they
don't have to transport it very
far," Anderson said.
Throughout China, Ander
son said most of the people
ride bikes or walk and that
most vehicles are not pri
vately owned.
"Physical fitness is very
important," he said. "Did you
ever see a fat Chinese
person?"
Anderson said Kay had an
unpleasant surprise in China.
"She found that they don't
wear diapers there and she
was a little startled when she
picked up a little girl," he
said.
"Women have equal rights
there," he continued. "They
pull heavy loaded carts just
like the men do."
Anderson said there is a lot
of smog in China because coal
is burned in the cities. He also
said everywhere they went on
the 20-day tour, they were
stared at because not too
many tourists go to some of
the areas the Andersons went
to.
The Andersons visited the
only steam locomotive plant in
the world and visited the
Great Wall of China on the
tour.
"Most of the people are well
fed and clothed and the houses
provide shelter so they are
probably better off. now than
ever before," he said.
"Sex is taboo. Our guides
told us not to talk about it.
"What really impressed me
was the farmland. They do not
really import much food and
they don't export that much
because they have to feed
their own."
