FOUR The heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 6. 1979 With Justine U'rulhcrforri ,A J So now local football fans have viewed two state championship teams this fall lone and St. Mary's, and know why each of these teams has repeated its winning ways for a second successive year. This month basketball has become king and queen of sports. Followers of the ball-through-a-peach-basket game must salute its inventor, James A. Naismith. Naismith, a Y.M.C.A. physical-education instructor, worked to create a team sport that could be played indoors during the winter months and he surely succeeded. Today's game is still basicaly as Naismith put it together in 1891. ' If you didn't get out to the Artifactory last Saturday you missed a really splendid opportunity to see and purchase a tremendous variety of unusual gifts. Shoppers seemed pleased, and most of the sellers stated that the affair was better than in its earlier years. Again this area's great diversity of talent was represented. It seems it would have been impossible to crowd all the parked vehicles into any single parking area in the south county except at the fairgrounds. Although folks came and went all day, the parking spaces were occupied from before the 10 a.m. opening until the 4 p.m. closing. The addition of the Heppner Garden Club's Christmas greens workshop into the room adjoining the main sale floor proved to be a plus for both of these annual pre-Yule affairs. Many front doors will now be brightened by evergreen wreaths or swags that were constructed by the ladies of the homes. Both the American Association of University Women and the Garden Club missed the presence of an outstanding and most helpful member, because Jane Rawlins was confined to her home with a stubborn, heavy cold. A commentary of sorts on the reading habits of Morrow County folks was evidenced at the Artifactory. For sale were many books donated by individuals. In addition books were offered for sale by the Heppner Public Library. These were priced at 10 cents for paperbacks and a quarter for hardbacks, but they seemed to sell very slowly. After a time the price was cut in half. Then as the 4 p.m. closing approached it was announced that the books were free for the taking, which helped move some of them off the sales tables. or they buy books and periodicals regularly. Wasn't it good to awaken to a dandy increase in temperature last Sunday morning? The rows of icicles and the crusty snow had disappeared and the danger of icy falls was gone for a while. Lots of us wish that winter's ice could be outlawed somehow. There are always those among us who manage to esape to balmy climes. Mary Bryant returned from Hawaii about the time Helen Currin went off to take her look around the land of grass skirts, pineapples and the garbge strike which ended this week. Helen was lucky; she came home just before the torrential rains struck. Lois and Ernie Winchester went to Orlando, Florida, where Lois attended a Humane Society of the U.S. meeting. They also visited Ernie's brother, Ben Winchester, and his wife Eris in Tampa. While in the tropical state they took a look at Disney World and the renowned Busch Gardents, too. The Winchesters flew home via Santa Rosa, Calif., where they enjoyed a visit with son Lowell Turner and his family. Lois will be happy to talk with folks about the Humane Society meeting. Community members, especially those connected with Heppner High School as teachers or students, are very saddened by the untimely, tragic death of new English teacher Chuck Wyatt last Saturday. He had only been working here for two months but had already made many friends. Local merchants have their windows so nicely decorated with beguiling items. Wouldn't it be fun to buy, buy, buy? Senior Citizens The Craft Ladies of the Neighborhood Center were well satisfied with the sale of their decorative and useful items at last Saturday's Arti factory. They say that they still have a few of most items 'which they will continue to sell at the center and which make inexpensive and practical gifts.
