SIX The Heppner Gazette-Times, lleppner, Oregon, Thursday, November 22, 1979 . 1 s i f .-Ji 'in..' 4 .1 With Justine WVathci ford am Last Thursday noon I had my first meal in downtown Lexington at the Harshman's Tavern. What a cozy spot it is with its attractive round fireplace blazing away. Eleanor Gonty and I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the very good food. We traveled to the Umatilla Bridge the long way via Heppner Junction after we were told that the North Lexington highway was pretty rough still. At Irrigon we found a nice stand still offering local garden produce. As we drove on diagonally north in Washington, we got into heavy late-afternoon fog and were glad it was not our first trip to "my daughter's home near Cheney we could have lost our way. Friday we made several trips into Spokane and enjoyed the big city sights, the bustling shopping centers and the unusual eating places. We had our dinner out in a very large, attractively decorated Mexican restaurant with the rather incongruous name "The Holding Company." When we returned to Heppner about 12:30 on Saturday we came via Sand Hollow and past the high school athletic field, where many cars were parked along the highway indicating a good attendance at the Heppner-St. Mary's game. Because I chose to attend the McDaniel's 50th Anniversary and to visit with Jeanne Dobbs, I missed the very good contest. When I drove toward my home later I met the cars coming away from the game and easily guessed that Heppner had been bested because there was no horn honking or cheering. Jeanne Dobbs, daughter of county pioneers and the long-time owner and operator of Jeanne's Beauty Shop on Main Street, has been living in Hawaii for several years. She flew to Oregon to visit her married children, Shirley and Bob, and other family members. She was a guest in the home of her sister Jane Rawlins for three days. Soon Jeanne will return to the paradise islands to conintue her retirement sounds super. The John Breidenbach family, except high school senior daughter Lela, moved from Heppner to Timber Lake near Estacada last week. Lela is now sharing my home, and I feel very lucky to have her pleasant company. I was thinking of her as a "temporary daughter" until I found out that I am older than both of her grandmothers now I have re-adjusted my thinking to "temporary granddaughter." Beloved Delia McCurdy was telling a group of friends recently that she really thinks her life is still pretty good for one past eighty years. Delia said that she feels adjusted to most everything except having her "little boy" Harlan McCurdy, Jr., reach 60 years of age. We hear that Heppner's traveling Tibbies have returned safely after a big look around South American. Last year they saw New Zealand and Australia. What a way to put off leaf raking and windshielf scraping just fly off south of the equator. After we read of the high incidence of divorces in the U.S. now stated to be one of every two marriages we wondered if there is something magic about our county. The D.E. "Shorty" Hudsons are being congratulated on their 60 years of marriage and the Carl McDaniels have just celebraled their fiftieth anniversary. How special! Last week the League of Oregon Cities held its annual get-together in Portland. Among the municipal officials drafted to speak on a panel at the occasion was Heppner's friendly Mayor Jerry Sweeney. Also included was this writer's second son, Municipal Judge Bill Haberlach of Medford. Although they are not all down, the leaves are falling fast from the two large Dutch elms in front of my home. The yard and front walk are covered with their natural gold. Because I am an experienced procrastinator I keep thinking it is futile to collect them now and haul them back to the vegetable plot behind the house where I believe they will contribute to next year's garden which I hope my expert neighbor Bill Rawlins will plant there again. After they are all down I promise to get moving them. This week of counting blessings. I am so thankful for life and family and kind friends. I feel so blessed to live in our little city, in our progressive state and in this nation which in I spite of problems and mistakes is still the greatest place live I on this planet.

Wishart bv Rirdine Tullis Kstate Planning Sessions Draw Crowd Financial planning for the future seemed to be on the minds of many local residents, if numbers attending the recent estate planning ses sions are indicators. Dr. Grant Blanche. OSU Ag Economics department, shared information on many options for saving on taxes by sound financial planning, need for wills and written inventor ies, life insurance and other topics in relation to transfer ring both real and personal properties. The sessions at tracted a larger number of men and women than antici pated in both Morrow and Umatilla counties. Dr. Blanche has been on the Oregon State University staff for 34 years and he plans to retire at the end of the current school year. An Opportunity Ever wonder where the recipes for the Wheat Grow er's Cake Contest were found or how the particular recipe was selected? Suzanne Coppock, state chairman for Wheathearts, is now requesting recipes to be considered for , use as the official cake for future years. You may send your favorite recipe to your local Wheat hearts chairman, or send it direct to the Oregon Wheat Growers League Office, Box 400 in Pendleton. She requests that recipes not include raisins, nuts, dates, etc. as such recipes are not satisfactory from the standpoint of judging the cakes. Those attending the Wheat Growers convention in Port land may turn their recipe in at the convention. Dinah going to bake a cake Dinah Jackson of Heppner, winner of the Wheat Grower's Cake Contest at the Morrow County Fair this year, plans to attend the Wheat Grower's Convention and participate in the state cake baking contest.

Jacket Workshop Popular If you see lots of new blazers or jackets around the county, it may be the result of a recent series of workshops on sewing your own jacket offered by the Extension service.
