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!
Although my telephone.
676-5504. may not be answered
every time it rings, plase keep
trying.

'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
