Even though one needs to scrape ice from the car
windshield, how good it is to have late-season brightness and
warmth come at least part of these chill, November days.
Good cheer is further fostered by the outstanding
performances of Heppner and Ione's young athletes.
Although girl's volleyball did not lead to a championship, it
went far. Both schools' football teams have stimulated
community pride.
Many who drive between Heppner and Lexington are
rejoicing because the bumpy patches of highway are being
covered with smooth asphalt. This could mean that the
highway workers who are living in portable housing in
clusters near and beyond Lexington will be moving on to
improve roads elsewhere.
While they have worked here, they have been supportive
of area businesses, and their children have attended south
county schools. We hope that they will carry away good
feelings about Morrow County.
Although not all members of the Chamber of Commerce
are ablejo visit far-away parts of the world, program
chairman Avon Melby has brought these places to them
through Frank Anderson's pictures and talk about China, and
more recently, through Inez Erwin's pictures and talk about
Argentina and Peru.
Veteran teacher Erwin surely held the interest of all as
she told of her long visit in Buenos Aires and much shorter
but rather hectic stay in Peru.
Oscar Peterson, who has done much international
traveling and who was recalling his trip about South America
as Inez told of her travels, told me he has recently been to
visit his sister Emma in her retirement in Minneapolis. When
Emma left her family and many friends here she moved into
a retirement home in Philadelphia, but now her brother says
she has come west somewhat because she felt Minneapolis
offers a better situation for her.
A youthful traveler under contract to the U.S. Air Force,
Perry Cooper, who has seen some of Texas and some of
Colorado since his July enlistment, will soon be off to Spain
from where he looks forward to visitng about Europe.
Each year pre-Christmas pressures and activities build
up so that many find their days extremely full. The Heppner
Retail Merchants have voted to begin their Christmas season
one week before the Artifactory Craft Sale and the Garden
Club Workshop. There was some thought that all these
special events would be combined on Saturday. Dec. 1, but
now they will afford shoppers more time to shop on the two
Saturdays.
All these special events take considerable planning,
organization and effort in the hope that they will please the
whole community.
United Church of Christ
meets for dinner;
'Clown presents budget'
Members of the lone United
Church of Christ gathered for
their Fellowship.Dinner in the
church social rooms last
Friday night.
Dinner was served from
tables cleverly decorated in
the Thanksgiving motif, with
Jack O'Lanterns, pumpkins
and turkeys. Following the
dinner, songs were sung for
old and young, such as rounds
and nursery rhymes set to
music by the minister, the
Rev. Cathy Barker. A game
called "Smiles" was played
and a film strip on the work of
the United Church was shown.
This film touched on the
many things the church spon
sors, such as teaching and
doctoring and work on social
problems, not only locally and
nationally but abroad.
The last thing on the
program was the presentation
of the church budget by Don
Bristow, which was interrup
ted several times by a cleverly

By unpacking her box of

Poor to get 'energy crisis9 aid
An "energy crisis" assis
tance program has been
instituted for low-income fa
milies in Morrow County
through the Blue Mountain
Economic Development Coun
cil. The agency is headquar
tered in Pendleton.
Jeffrey M. Cohen, program
coordinator, was in Heppner
last week to explain how the
county's $20,164.23 allocation
could be spent.
For qualifying families, the
agency would make direct
payments to vendors if there
were a threat of heat being cut
off. to a limit of $300 per
family. This would apply
whether the heat came from
electricity, oil, gas. wood or
coal.
A line of credit also could be
established, to assure an
adequate fuel supply for the
affected households.
For short-term immediate
assistance, families would be
provided with blankets and
warm clothing as needed; and
household repairs, such as
broken windows, might be
made.
Families also could receive
direct cash assistance, to a
limit of $50, if they provided
proof that they had paid fuel
bills that represent at least 25
percent of their monthly
income, or received notice of
immediate fuel shutoff.
"The maximum allowable
payment to any family is
$300," Cohen said. "For eligi
bility, they must meet the
poverty guidelines as esta
blished by the federal Com
munity Services Administra
tion." Non-farm families must
have incomes not exceeding a
total of $8,375 per year, he
said. The limit for farm
families is $7,125 per year.
Excluded from considera
tion as income would be assets
derived from bank deposits,
gifts, sale of property and
