EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Japanese student revisits local family
Last week we had a small article about Thanksgiving
Day in the U.S., which concluded with the statement that by
presidential proclamation the holiday was set on the last
Thursday of November. Several readers noted that Nov. 22
was not the last Thursday of November.
The unfinished story is that in 1939 President Franklin
Roosevelt set the holiday one week earlier, to help business
by lengthening the shopping period before Christmas.
Congress then ruled, that afte1941, the fourth Thursday of
November would be observed as Thanksgiving Day and
would be a legal federal holiday.
Incidentally, looking ahead on the calendar in the Yellow
Pages of the telephone directory, covering the years 1776 to
2000, I note that November will not have more than four
Thursdays again until 1984 and 1985, and then again in 1989
and 1990 so F.D.R.'s plan doesn't help the merchants too
regularly.
How good it has been to see holiday visitors about town.
Mary Foster came from Berkeley, Calif, for a nice visit with
her mother Martha King. The Rev. Steve Tollefson, wife
Vicki, and their three sons, Greg, Ben and Ted, were at
the John Weygandt-Young home and were especially greeted
at an after-church coffee in the Methodist Church. Wendy
Phegley, who now teaches in Bend, and her sisters Becky and
Marilyn from Reedsport invited Jim Phegley and others for
the occasion.
Madge and Jim Thomson were so happy to have their son
Bruce, his wife Phyllis and children Stacey and Jeffrey
James come from Portland. Charles Rawlins, Bend, and
Carol R. Brewster, husband Bill and children Matt and
Natalie came from Corvallis to brighten Jane and Bill
Rawlins' home.
On Thursday Inez Erwin entertained her sister Wyoma
Duckworth, Clarkston; sister Ruth and husband Leroy Lusk,
Walla Walla; sister Lula and husband Willard Cameron, and
their daughter Mariann and husband Jerry Bauman, and
their infant son Nicki, also from Walla Walla.
Happy and Claude Graham's guests were their daugher
Jean Marie Damon, her husband Bernard and their children
from Eugene. Alma and Herman Green had the Lawrence
Greens from Wasco in their home. Son Tom and his family
stayed in son Clifford Green's home. Lee Wagonblast was
pleased to have her sons John and Steve and their families
with her.
I was delighted to have my first son, F. Ross Haberlach,
and second daughter, Karla W. Weaver and husband Rick,
here from Thursday noon until early Sunday. At our turkey
dinner, Friday afternoon, Marion and Leona Weatherford
from Arlington and Inez Erwin and Wyoma Duckworth
joined us.
When I was telling a neighbor how helpful the young
people were doing the leaf raking, wood sawing, helping in
the house, etc., the neighbor blurted out "I'll bet they'll be
mighty thankful to leave here!"
Theta Lowe, the prime mover behind the annual,
community Thanksgiving dinners at the Episcopal Church,
says that this year's attendance was the smallest in the seven
years that the church has invited everyone to attend. Only 14
diners accepted the dinner invitation last Thursday.
Of course some Heppnerites went traveling over the
holiday, including Amanda Duvall, who was in Portland with
family members, and the E.E. Gontys who went to Seattle to
join a. four-generation gathering at their older son Ray's
home. Freida Majeske was in Pendleton with part of her
family. My "temporary granddaughter," Lela Breidenbach,
spent the holiday with her family at Timber Lake, riding to
Estacada and back with teacher Karen Howe who went home
to Colton for the holidays.
Extra special traveling took Ralph Crum home to lone
from the Heppner hospital and brought Police Chief Dean
Gilman back home from Walla Walla where he recently
underwent surgery. Iva Booker is back in town after her
hospitalization and is resting in the home of Randall and
Marlene Peterson.
This weekend the many who are working to ready the
Artifactory and the Christmas Greens Workshop hope that
there will be a really good crowd coming to the Morrow
County Fairgrounds on Saturday. The first small Artifactory
was held in the lobby of the Heppner Hotel. Then several of
the annual events were held in the Gilliam-Bisbee Building,
where the Coast-to-Coast store is now. Recent Artifactories
have been in the St. Patrick's Parish Hall on Jones Street, but
now, because the last several Artifactories were so well
patronized and became very crowded, the American
Association of Univeristy Women determined to spread out
the event in the Fair Pavilion Building.
The first daytime Greens Workshop will be next door to
the Artifactory in the Fair Annex which is used for 4-H
displays and demonstration during fair week.
Remember free admission and free parking! Come
meet Santa and, Clown Cathy!
Senior Citizens
For many months the wo
men who gather at the
Heppner Neighborhood Center
have been making a great
assortment of decorative and
useful articles to sell at the
annual, Artifactory planned
for Saturday.
The materials they have
used were either donated by
friends of the center or were
purchased with money they
have made from the sale of
their efforts at the Sidewalk
Bazaar or at last year's
Artifactory.
Proceeds from the sale will
go toward buying more mater
ial for their crafts at the
center or for use on craft days
at the Pioneer Memorial
Hospital.
The menus for the Senior
Citizen Dinners at the three
mealsites in the county during
the first week in December
will be: Dec. 3 at Irrigon to
mato juice, macaroni and
cheese with weiners, baked
squash, tossed green salad,
assorted relishes, sliced bread
with butter and apple butter
and St. Patrick ladies' des
sert. Dec. 4 at Heppner boiled
beef and noodles, buttered
carrots, apple-pineapple mol
ded salad, biscuits and jelly
and raspberry poke cake.
Dec. 5 at lone and Heppner
meat balls Espanol, mashed
potatoes, buttered beets, mol
ded vegetable salad, muffins
and jam and apple crisp with
topping.
Dan Adels was a Seventh
Day Adventist assistant pub
lishing director for 13 years
before coming to Heppner
seven weeks ago to become a
pastor for the first time.
"It is something I always
wanted to do," Adels said. "I
was not in pastoral work
before but I made it known
that I was interested and I got
a call."
Two others were inter
viewed for the job in Heppner
but Adels was accepted. When
he went to college at Columbia
Union College in Takoma
Park, Maryland, he took
Theology hoping to become a
pastor.
"Circumstances made it so I
had to go into publishing," he
said. "I enjoyed the publishing
business for 13 years."
Adels and his wife, Eliza
beth, will be moving into a
home in Heppner Dec. 3. They
are moving here from Atlanta,
Ind. where he served as the
assistant publishing director
for the church there for two
years. Before that, he held the
same post in an Ohio city for
five-and-one-half years. Prior
to that job, he held the same
type of position in Indiana for
four-and-one-half years.
In his free time, Adels likes
to run. He trains as a
marathon runner at about 11
miles a day. He participated
in the Portland Marathon, a
26-mile race, a few weeks ago.
He said he likes to run up the
hill five-and-one-half miles
toward Condon and then come
back. He averages about eight
minutes a mile.
"It's relaxing," he said.

ary College in Collegedale,
Tenn., which is a suburb of

His middle son is David,
who is 20 and a freshman at
the same college. He is taking
Theology.
Adels' youngest son is
Duane, 18 and a sophomore at
the Seventh Day Adventist
Academy in Pendleton.
Despite moving such a long
distance, Adels said he likes it
in Heppner.
"I lived in small towns
before," he said. "I like it
here. The townspeople are
friendly."
BvBirdine Tullis
Morrow Extension Service
Friendships started years
ago through Oregon 4-H Ja
pan Labor program go on and
on. One of the first Labo
exchangees to Morrow County
has now returned to renew
friendships.
Reiko Ito, now a student at
Depauw College in Green
Castle, Ind. spent this Thanks
giving vacation with her
"Oregon -Morrow County fa
mily". Butch, Judie, Lottie,
and Shane Laughlin. Reiko,
now 22 years old and a senior
in college, was 16 when she
first found her "Oregon-Morrow
County family." She is
attending college in the USA
on a Rotary scholarship,
majoring in languages, with a
goal of teaching as a career.
When Reiko returned to
Japan after spending the
summer here six years ago,
she wrote a story of her
"family" and experiences
which was published and
widely used as a promotional
item for the popular exchange
program. Her story told of the
love and friendships esta
blished during her visit and
the understanding of America
she gained, as well as her hope
to return.

Christmas and Toys
The season brings stores full
of exciting colorful toys that
attract adults as well as
children. Buying toys is fun
but choose toys wisely for a
Merry Christmas and a long
time after. According to
Extension Human Develop
ment specialist Marcelle
Straatman, the most satisfac
tory toys have qualities that
stimulate creativity and are
durable, versatile, and safe.
Creative toys are those that
stimulate the child's imagina
tion. Wind-up toys are soon
boring.
Durability is an important
factor. Children can be rough
with toys. The toy should be
able to take this treatment.
Versatility is another aspect,
ho many things can the toy
do, or how many ways can a
child use the toy in creative
play?
Safety is important. Toys
for small children should not
hae sharp edges or have small
parts that might come off to be
swallowed. Look at toys for
the small ones very carefully
from the standpoint of safety.
Choose toys wisely for Christ
mas to provide happy times
all year long.

Advent, Yule highlight
Methodist activities
The worship committee and
the Rev. Mike Sheridan,
pastor of the Heppner United
Methodist Church, have re
leased the following program
of events which will be helpful
to persons preparing to cele
brate a meaningful Advent
Season.
The program began Nov. 28,
with a congregational potluck
dinner at 6:30 after which
everyone viewed the film, "I
Will Take You to the Christ
Child." Each family was
presented a special gift book
let which will help in their

lone man aids
mission project
Frederick T. Martin of lone,
a corporate member of the
United Church Board for
World Ministries, helped to
launch a "Partner Power"
program between the 1,8
million-member United
Church of Christ and churches
overseas at the board's 170th
annual meeting in Denver
recently.
The Reverend Doctor David
M. Stowe, New York, execu
tive vice president of the
board, said missionaries from
the United Church of Christ
are now sent overseas only at
the invitation of the churches
in the host countries. The
United Church of Christ has
experimented with having
missionaries from Asia,
Africa and Latin America
work in the U.S. churches.
This activity now is to be
expanded as the "Partner
Power" program.
"Partnership as a style of
mission and a source of
strength for missions is rooted
in our Christian understand
ing of the nature of power,"
Dr. Stowe said.
He pointed out that "no
secular power can afford to go
it along. Just as the U.S.
depends upon Arab oil, Russia
on U.S. wheat and Japan on
trading partners, Christians
are interdependent and must
realize that God's plan is unity
and mutual dependence, shar
ing gifts and sharing bur-,
dens."
Sunday, during the morning
worship service, a Celebration
"of Light will be presented with
the singing ' of Christmas
carols and the presentation of
the first banner by a church
family, along with the lighting
of the first of the Advent
Candles.
Dec. 9 the congregation will
celebrate a Love Feast of
Bread and the common cup.
There will be the presentation
of the second banner and the
lighting of the second Advent
Candle. At this service each
family will hang their Love
Gifts on the church Christmas
tree.
Dec. 16. during the morning
worship, the church will be
filled with poinsettias which
families will bring from their
homes. The third banner will
be presented and the third
Advent Candle will be lighted.
At 5 p.m. the children of the
church will present their
Christmas program. This pro
gram will be followed by a
community potluck dinner.
Usually the children's pro
gram draws standing room
only attendance.
Dec. 23 a very special slide
presentation featuring some
local performers will begin
the morning worship. The
fourth banner will be presen

Candle will be lighted.

everyone is invited to the
traditional Christmas Eve
Candlelight Service at 11 p.m.
