FOl'R The Heppner Gatette-Tlmes, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, May 8, 1980 IS EH S FROM 1ILIE MOUNTAIN Lilactime is surely one of the prettiest times of the year in Morrow County. The fra grant blooms of this lovely member of the. olive family are so gorgeous in their many variations. Did you ever visit the Lilac Farm near Wood land, Wash.? There, a great lilac fancier has propagated more than a hundred different types with single and double blossoms in so many different colors from pure white to almost black-purple. After lilactime the green tones will fade away and brown and golds will become dominant on Heppner's surrounding hills. Next Sunday, May 11, is Mother's Day. Many mothers appreciate a good letter or a friendly telephone call as much as any gift and letters and 'phone chats are always appropriate. The national observance of Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May was begun in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson after a vigorous cam paign by Anna Jarvis. It became a tradition to wear a colored carnation if one's mother is living, or a white carnation in memory of a departed mother. If you want interesting facts about volcanoes, espe cially the latest crater -top, Mt. St. Helens, you should seek out Barbara Cutsforth. Barb was interested in volca noes long before she learned of the first rumblings at St. Helens. She and her husband, Orville, are world travelers, and they have observed se veral volcanoes in several parts of the globe very closely. As soon as Barb learned of the action at St. Helens she enoouraged Mel Boyer, the Lexington aviator, to fly in close and take pictures. Barb has a good collection of news clippings about the smoking mountains. Last Saturday's Historical Society bus trip to Milton- Freewater and Walla Walla was enjoyed by 31 county residents. Dorothy Heard met them at Milton-Freewater and conducted them to the Heard headquarters on Peach Is land. After leaving there the travelers saw many interest ing and historical sights along their way to and from Fort Walla Walla and the Whitman Mission. The Creative Arts and Crafts showing at the West of Willow last Saturday and Sunday did not draw nearly as many viewers as it deserved. It surely substantiated the fact that there is a good deal of artistic talent in this county. Oil paintings dominated the show, but there was work in pastels and in pencil, too, as well as a table of china painting and one of tole painting. We have just learned that courtesy of proprietor Jim Rogers the show will be held over through Mother's Day. Viewing work by one's neighbors brings a different thrill than seeing master pieces in a renowned gallery. There were very brief notes about 20 county artists on the interesting introductory sheets presented to visitors. The Morrow Rodeo Court and pennant bearers won first place in competition with eight other courts in Arlington on Saturday at the early-season rodeo and parade. The girls were judged during their grand entry and during the parade on their appearance, their general behavior and their horsemanship. The court enjoyed luncheon with royalty from other rodeos. Faye Seitz and Maryann Palmer also attended the luncheon. On Sunday, May 18, a very special piano student will be presented in a public recital here by her teacher Ola Mae Groshens. Jojean Stevens, a Heppner High senior, has Vilh.liisliiir rtilh-i-riri ) studied with Ola Mae for 10 years. Her proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Bob Stevens, Hardman, and her joyful grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stevens. Hard man, and Verna Brinda, Heppner. Jim Ackley will be a guest vocalist. The Heppner Soroptimists will assist with refreshments after the recital which will begin at 2 p.m. in the basement of the United Methodist Church. Active folks under 101 years of age are being encouraged to make a super walk on Mother's Day. They are to leave Hager Park for a leisurely 20-mile walk to Lexington and back, and they will contribute money gained by their efforts to the March of Dimes campaign and to the American Field Service. Saturday, May 17. the annual Alpha Theta Sorority's bike ride will see more active persons out earning money to send off to fight Cystic Fibrosis. The committees responsible for the Whale of a Sale at the Methodist Church last Satur day wish to thank all who attended and also the busi nesses that helped with the advertizing. Several persons commented on the exhausted pigeon story in last week's paper. It was pleasing to have Dot Ha Ivor sen share that story. This columnist really appreciates hearing interesting news by telephone, or on the street, or at a community event. My late husband. Bill, 'enjoyed sipping coffee and chatting at stops along Main Street. He occasionally shared choice tidbits of news with me. How I miss his help!

'Follies9 By Justine Weatherford Laughing, squealing, full houses of playgoers of all ages greeted the Heppner High thespians who put on the school's first musical produc tion in about 20 years here last week Thursday and Friday evenings. The players in "Frankenstein Follies" seemed to be enjoying the evenings' fun along with their audiences. The rock-walled castle of the Frankenstein Family was the somber background for this ghoulish and foolish production. The large cast of 18 characters moved promptly in entering and exiting. Pro bably few of them will ever achieve grand opera or musi cal comedy careers: however. Follies' star Lisa Nix is tied by (left) and Bonnie Arrington. Heppner couple grandparents Mr. and Mrs. J.B.
