June 5. 1980 n 0 )U1, ill) .lllNlilM' am And what is so rare as a day in June? Then if ever come perfect days ; Then Heaven tries earth If it be in tune. And over it softly her warm ear layst Whether we look or whether we listen. We hear life murmur, or see it glisten. Maybe you also repeated these words last Sunday. Many who love poetry, or who were taught by parents and-or teachers who exposed them to poetry, cannot let the first of June pass without repeating James Russel Lowell's famous June lines. Recently it has been pleasing to have telephone calls about interesting news items. Suzanne Vinson called to say she felt that others may not have noted that at the recent Heppner High graduation, four young mothers of four of this year's graduates had themselves been graduated together from the same school in 1961. Suzanne pointed out that her daughter, Dorothy Vinson Wilson, mother of Perry Wilson; Sharon Keithley Harrison, mother of Todd Harrison; Judy Brinda Stevens, mother of Jojean Stevens, and Marlene Griffith Grey, mother of Susan Grey, had finished their work at Heppner High together in May just nineteen years ago. A former county judge. Oscar Peterson, called to tell me of his joy in the success of his grandchildren; particularly, just now, in grandson Joel, the youngest son of Oscar's son Donald and wife Martha. On May 24, Joel was graduated Magna Cum Laude by Pacific Lutheran University at Tacoma. Oscar says Joel plans to go into a very special aspect of engineering. I then inquired about Joel's older brother Kerry, who is remembered in Heppner because he worked here for Cal Sherman and for Royoe Fulleton. Kerry is working for a Porsche dealer in Beaverton, I learned. Oscar said that the second son of Donald and Martha, Paul, who like his siblings is a graduate of the lone Schools, continued his education at Blue Mountain Community College and then began traveling about. Now he is employeed in Corpus Christi, Texas. The boys' sister Christine Linder, lives with her husband and their two children in Hermiston, her proud grandfather reports. The Lutheran Peterson family of the Valby area has been very important in the development of the wheat industry in Morrow County. Along with other Swedish Lutheran families they will soon be preparing to commemorate the centennial of the establishment of the Valby Lutheran Church. Back to the summer Saturday fun of attending yard sales. This last Saturday quite a few folks were finding interesting bargains at the Coulters' sale out behind the Van Winkle Motel. If you have learned the fun of these summer sales, make sure you go to lone on June 7, and then mark your calendar for another big sale on June 14. The Heppner Degree of Honor Lodge women will be putting on a big outdoor sale which will include all sorts of rummage in the yard of Farra's Shoe Store On Baltimore Street. These ladies have been gathering, sorting and pricing goods for their sale for several months. They say their selling hours will be 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. On Saturday, the place to be will be lone. The Well-organized community auction with its Country Store and pit-barbequed beef noon meal has been an annual, first-Saturday in June event for 17 years. Its planning and implementation brings out the great community spirit and generous sharing of diverse talents in this important "middle" city of our county. Most of you know Bob Lowe who is always working on an interesting project. One of his most recent achievements has been the restoration of the flagpole from the old Cecil schoolhouse. The school was built in 1914 and the flagpolewas purchased from its maker in Portland and installed at the building's highest point. Bob, born in Durham, England, came to that school as a little boy and was taught to salute the American flag there. He became a U.S. citizen in 1927. When the old building was being demolished he asked the owners of the property, the Cheneys, if he might have the flagpole and he wa pleased when they gave it to him. It is now set in the Lowe yard on Fairview Way and a flag is raised on it on special occasions. Any area that would thrive must have changes in its population. It really hurts to have fine families leave here, but it is interesting to help new families enter into our community life. Last weekend Barbara James moved back to Milton-Freewater where she grew up and where most of her family still lives. She is now working at a large new florist shop there and she will be very pleased to have Heppner friends stop to say "Hello." Last weekend the Weatherford stationwagon was driven to the Oregon coast filled with the Rev. Mike Sheridan. Heppner High teacher Karen Howe and graduates Lela Briedenbach, Todd Harrison and Tim Hedman. It was accompanied by the larger Connor stationwagon driven by Shirley Connor and carrying Deann and Greg Connor, Patty Devine, Hohn Murray, Chris Rietmann, John Bier and Elizabeth Zita. The thirteen were joined at astoria by Dale and Doug Holland, and all fifteen had a wonderful, school's out, seashore outing. Meanwhile I had fun driving about in Pastor Sheridan's blue Datsun pickup. Ida Farra and I took it to Penland Lake Sunday where we enjoyed dinner at the Gonty cabin and a visit before the fireplace of June and Art Lindstrom's neighboring vacation house. Because I have such hope that June will be a splended month for everyone, I want to close this column with a few lines by another American poet, the Hoosier, James Whitcomb Riley. Then let us, one and all, be contented with our lot; The June is here this morning, and the sun is shining hot, Oh ! let us fill our hearts up with the glory of the day, and bannish ev'rv doubt and care and sorrow far away..
