SIX The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner. Oregon. Thursday. January 10. 1980 Willi .liistiiieUeathrifnrd J The weeks of Christmas and New Years make a transition between old 1979 and this new mo. Now this first full week of the year, with five days of school, regular mail days, and the resuming of standard meeting schedules really launches us into the new decade. Some of us are slow about putting away holiday trappings. Because I so enjoy the cards and letters which accumulate, and because I am rather slow with getting off replies. I may keep these seasonal greeting pinned to my draperies most of this month. Among them is a nice note from Vi Lanham which finally got to my mailbox after being missent to Harper, Oregon. Vi enclqsed the article from a recent TIME which told of Mike Benge and the Schmoo Tree. She said that our ex-mayor Conley wanted it sent along just in case we missed seeing it. By now the Lanhams have read about the article in this paper which they say they en joy down in the Colonial Country Club area at Hemet, Calif. Vi states "Things look very Christmas-like with many of the mobile homes decorated inside and out. Conley continues to feel pretty good and is on a daily walking program. He hasn't done any golfing yet, however, he has hopes." She doesn't mention her golfing. You might be interested in my letter from Bangkok, Thailand, from the young woman who shared my home and family life during her years in Corvallis just before I came to Heppner. Sirinapha Kumphai writes, "My family is all OK, here in spite of the bad news reports about our country you may read in your newspapers or hear on yourTV or radio. My father, my brother and I are re-building and modernizing our big old home. For the last five months, this has kept us very busy." I had a most exciting visit in Bangkok and was entertained in that large home the spring before I came to Morrow County. Now I am concerned about the future of that fertile area, the most valuable sector of Southeast Asia, an area that so far has never been conquered. Last week several friends told me that the Clifford Williams had left our county and I included this as a fact in my column. Now I confess how wrong I was. A careful checking proves that they haven't even put their Lexington, six-acre place up for sale. Frances says they may move away in time, but not immediately. Their son, Norman "Butch" has been with them for two weeks. He flew back to his Alexandria, Virginia, home Jan. 6. Butch works in the Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington,D.C. This week my home again contains two licensed drivers and rates two vehicles. My housemate, Lela Breidenbach is, making regular payments on the red Pontiac that is often parked out in front. She got the car before she got her driver's license, and is now happy about having both essentials. So Lela is a busy senior who has to work at several jobs to make her car payments. As our days continue to gradually lengthen, some folks find that pouring over seed catalogues provides a delightful winter interlude. New gardeners are on the lookout for tasty, easy-to-grow vegetables, while those with a few years of hoeing behind them are making lists of all the exotic or recently developed vegetable seeds they want to try. The gardens we envision while dreaming by the January fireside with a lapful of current catalogues are straight-rowed, well rained-upon, generously mulched and insect-free, while such perfection may have eluded us before it seems possible once again as next summer's garden takes shape on paper. It is true that, by and large, growing a good garden becomes easier with each year of practice allowing, of course, for the unexplained disastsers that befall each of us from time to time. It is difficult to say goodbye to the folks who are leaving town because they are no longer employed at the Kinzua Mill. Several young families that I have met at the laundromat tell me that they dislike leaving here, but must be searching for employment elsewhere. I hope they carry good memories of Heppner with them. Several New Year's greetings that most of us aren't too joyful about are the booklets entitled 1979 Oregon Individual Income Tax Return and 1979 Federal Income Tax Forms. We all know that everything worthwhile has its price. Our state and national governments are surely necessary and very worthwhile, and we must support them. How easy it is to push these mailings aside afterall we don't have to file until April 15. However, out of sight is not out of mind, and we can keep thinking about these forms until we get them filled out and dispatched.

Other things to keep you busy could include checking your dahlias, gladiolus and begonia bulbs in storage, to be sure they are keeping well. And don't forget to feed the birds, and offer water if it snows and freezes! Grains, bread cruumbs. seeds, peanut butter, meat scraps and suet find favor with different kinds of birds.
