KOl'R The Heppner OiueUe-Times. Heppner. Oregon, Thursday, April a. 1W A U till Justine UeHUierfoi ri ) This week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, the historic Holy Week, an annual renaissance, may bring us warmer weather at last. Many Morrowites can recall, however, that opening daffodils and hyacinths have been pelted with hail and covered with snowflakes some springs in this area. I've been hoping to get at some yardwork but am not enthusiastic about working outside in the bone-chilling wind. Our Pacific Northwest has been excited about having the only active volcano in the 48 contiguous states altering the shape and usual spring schedule of lovely Mt. St. Helens. This outburst has attracted many scientists to southwest Washington State and has commanded a great deal of media attention. Last weekend saw lots of folks traveling to Lexington again, as they had to visit the openhouse of Piper's Country Store the previous weekend. Last Saturday there was a great collection of cars and pickups parked near the Williams' mini-ranch, and the large group of county residents was joined by dozens of "outside" visitors. All of them shivered in the cold wind during the extensive, lively auctioning of a large accumulation of household and farm-type goods. Some of the antique items included an old wagon seat, ancient cooking articles, old clocks, and some long-used farm and garden tools. Right now quite a few of the ambitious high school seniors in the county are rushing about filling in scholarship forms and asking employers, teachers and acquaintances to write letters of recommendation for them. They have only six weeks more of classwork. Graudation invitations and announcements have arrived, and senioritis is in full bloom. A special, exciting, big event due at Heppner High School in just three weeks is the First musical production in quite a few years, "Frankenstein's Follies." The cooperative effort by the music departments and its instrumentalists and vocalists and the drama department should delight the community. The extravaganza will be presented on the evenings of Thursday, May 1 and Friday, May 2. The students and coaches have been putting in many hours of practice in preparation for their two-night run. In Umatjlla. 9nd, Morrow counties there is a federally-funded RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) which is directed by June Wagner, who has her office in Pendleton, but who corns several Wednesdays each month to the communities of this county to help enlist retired persons in activities that are helpful to them and to their communities. Mrs. Wagner always checks in at the Neighborhood Center in Heppner. The RSVP program and its professionally-trained leaders insist that post-retirement health is very closely related to the activity, the community involvement, the feeling of being needed and appreciated that they want to help older citizens realize. The Older Americans Act under which the Area Agency on Aging activities such as the senior meals, home health (are, legal aid for seniors, and the buses for transportation of Seniors and handicapped persons are partly financed relies on volunteer help and volunteer cash contributions to carry on much of their functioning. Morrow County residents need to appreciate the advantages offered to elderly citizens here, and everyone should be encouraged to support these programs. Extension has tips By Birdine Tullis Nutrition in the news It seems that nutrition has become a household word. Americans are making chan ges in what they eat as they become more aware that nutrition plays an important ( part in good health feeling good, and looking that way, too. The seven dietary guide lines issued by the federal government, although contro versial, have focused national attention on nutrition. The guidelines, developed jointly -by the U.S. Dept. of Agricul ture and Health, Education and Welfare, are summarized in a new publication called, "Nutrition and Your Health", -which is available at the county extension office. Summarized, the new die tary guidelines are: eat a variety of foods; maintain ideal weight, avoid too much fat, saturated fat and choles ,trol, eat foods with adequate amounts of starch and fiber; avoid too much sugar; avoid too much sodium (salt); if you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Cost of Operating Your Car Typical cost to own and drive a new intermediate sized U.S. car 10,000 miles a year was 38 cents per mile in 1979, according to Hertz Cor poration's annual estimate. Window Devoted to Ag Day Be sure to glance in the window of Gardner's Men's Wear as you walk down Main Street in Heppner, and enjoy the salute to agriculture display. Marking national Ag Day, March 20, Ruth Nutting, Morrow CowBelles president, made the attractive display, featuring county agricultural commodities and information related to the industries. Ag Day and the importance of agriculture to our area was spotlighted by Ruth Nutting at a recent Chamber of Com merce meeting. Representing all the women in agricultural groups, she called attention to the day by presenting each chamber member with a packet of beef recipes to carry , home, with a surprise of a $10 dollar beef certificate hidden in one packet. Contemporary Quilting Crazy quilting is catching on, and several Morrow County women recently at tended a how-to workshop sponsored by extension in Pendleton. One who attended the quilt was enthusiast and expert, Theta Lowe of Heppner. She is so excited about the many possibilities of the creative crazy quilting that she is sharing the skill with others each Thursday morning. The concept is similar to the old fashioned velvet or other HELP WANTED Several Temporary Position! Beginning In April Or May And Lasting Through October Or Novemoer.
