FOUR-The Heppner Gaiette-Tlniea. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, Jane It, 1980
Last Sunday wai iucd a nice day that many people enjoyed
spending time in Morrow's mountains. Large groups were at
tte Scarca and Raacue gathering at Anson Wright Park, at
the reunion at Hantaan, and at the Elks Picnic at Cutsforth
Park. Those who took advantage of the opening-day free
swim at the Heppner City Pool must have been pleased to'
have sunny warmth. Such good scheduling!
On Saturday last, rain crippled the Degree of Honor
outdoor rummage sale. The women hastily moved their
racks of clothing into their lodge naB and crowded furniture
and household articles into the Farra garage. The committee
says that their considerable collection of donated unsold
goods will be offered to the public again soon.
Friends tell me that the Gerald and Violet Swaggart golden
anniversary party in Pendleton was great. There was a lot of
good visiting. Four generations of Swaggarts were present,
and many of their friends from Morrow and Umatilla
counties enjoyed the event with them.
Last week my personal schedule was rather unusual. I
spent four meeting-filled days on the campus of the west's
oldest university, Willamette, in Salem, and spent my
first-and probable only-night sleeping in a fraternity
bouse (Sigma Chi.) My delightful roommate was Jane
Johnson, a published poet from Portland's west side, who
autographed a copy of her "Varied Verse" for me.
We watched no television, heard no radio news and only
glanced quickly at a few newspaper headlines from Tuesday
through Friday; however, there was much news going on on
the campus, where the more than a thousand clergy, lay
dleegatea, clergy -ma tea and others attended the Oregon
Idaho Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Distinguished speakers addressed the conference and
expounded on many causes. The annual, multi-million-dollar
business of the conference was approved and the budget for
the coming year was adopted. The presiding bishop, Jack
Tuell, who will soon be re-assigned after eight years of
leadership with this conference, admitted that his legal
education and his excellent training unparliamentary
procedure teemed almost more important than his
theological instruction, as he guided the delegates through a
maze of motions, amendments to motions, reconsiderations,
withdrawals, repositionings and votings by voice, by show of
hands and ballots.
Raincoats, umbrellas and non-summery clothing were the
uniforms of our days. The huge, amazing variety of
rhodedendrons and goreeous roses around the campus were
blooming beautifully and were exciting to those of us who
came there from areas where they do not fouriah.
Willamette's lively grey squirrels were not nearly as evident
as they have been in other years; they seemed to spend their
hours huddled under the shrubbery and not scampering
about the constantly wetted lawns.
Among the mass of delegates were several well known
here. The Rev. Al Boyer and his musician wife Cara were
very active. The Rev. Mel Dixon and his wife Nancy, who
formerly worked in the Heppner Post Office, and the Rev. Ed
Cutting and his wife Doris were given special recognition as
they accepted retirement from the conference (Mel wanted
to leave at age 62 and Ed at 65.) The Rev. Grace Drake
assisted during the assembly as a teller, she also spoke the
final benediction at the final legislative session. Her second
daughter, Gwen, now taking graduate classes at the
University of Oregon, came to share a few meals and to
spend a night at Willamette. The two voting delegates from
Heppner were the Rev. S. Michael Sheridan and Justine
Weatherford.
Early Thursday evening the conference attendance was
moved by bus, van and private car to join state officials for a
, ceremony on the east bank of the Willamette River, near the
Wheatland Ferrv location. All took part in the appropriate
dedication of a new state park, Willamett Mission State Park,
and enjoyed a picnic in the gentle rain. ,
This spacious park is on the site of Methodism's mission to
the northwest Indians that the Rev. Jason Lee established in
1841 and which evolved into Willamette University and the
City of Salem.
At one of the noon meals during conference I happened to
sit beside a tall, now white-headed deleeate from Canhv who
noting my Heppner badge, asked me if I knew Wavel
Wilkinson. Then he asked me to tell Wavel that Rudolph
"tied" Stewart sent greetings to her and her twin sister. He
explained that they had been friends since their student days
at Oregon State in the 1920's.
Because of a meeting ia Madras on Saturday, I came back
eastward via the North Santiam Highway and found driving
impeded by a long National Guard convoy between Salem
and Suttle Lake, and by the Saturday noon rodeo parade in
Sisters where many fans had gathered for a three-day event.
After the Madras meeting adjourned, about 4 p.m., I drove
to near Prineville to visit and spend the night with my
husband's sister, Edythe W. Newell, and her husband
George, who is anxious to redeem his 25 acres of cut, wet hay.
He has turned it several times between showers and is now
hoping that one more turning will permit him to bale it and
get it off the growing second crop. Many other Oregonians
are suffering through the same situation during this extra
wet season.
My Sunday, non-stop trip home via Mitchell, Spray and
Hardman showed me that many folks were enjoying the
sunny day outdoors. How I enjoyed the clean greenness, the
blooming wildflowers and the slow-to-arrive sunshine.
Well, now we north westerners have lived with an active
volcano in our region for just one month (it really became
violently active on May 18). How its three major eruptions
have changed lives, altered schedules, afftected business-as-usual
attitudes.
For the first time in many years, the Portland Rose
Festival lost money because prospective tourists cancelled
their reservations. Many tour groups called off travel into the
region thus compounding the drop in business income.
Next week Tuesday, June 24 voters in Morrow County and
the city of Heppenr will ballot again on their budgets. It is
important that budgets be approved so that county and
municipal business may continue without a serious loss in
revenue.

MCSIIHOOMS PLENTIFUL
THIS YEAR
With the ample amount of
moisture in the mountain
areas this year, more than the
usual number of wild mush
rooms should be appearing.
Caution should always be
used in picking and using wild
mushrooms, as some can be
deadly, or very poisonous
varieties. Be sure you know
what you are doing when you
venture out to the woods to
hunt mushrooms. Many ex
cellent resources are avail
able to help you learn ways to
identify the good ones, but
care should still be used In
eating any mushroom that you
have not tasted previously.
Talk to an expert, positively
identify mushrooms and use
only those species that you
know to be edible. Leave all
the others alone.

APPLIANCE ENERGY USE
Determining the energy
needs of one appliance com
pared to another has been
hard in the past, in the future
watch for bright yellow tags
showing you the operating
costs of the appliance,
Family Resource Manage
ment Specialist Jan Weber
tells us: "Before long you'll be
seeing bright yellow tags
on these major appliances:
refrigerators, freezers, water
heaters, dishwashers, clothes
washers and room air con
ditioners. These la Ms have
the information necessary to
cam pare energy costs and
efficiencies Of competing
models. Room air condition
ers will have an energy
efficiency rating, all other
energy guides will show the
estimated annual cost of any
particular model
"Since energy costs for
operating an appliance are
often higher than Its purchase
price, it 's to your advantage to
use these guides when you
shop.
When buying an appliance
consider the purchase price
and the costs of operation. You
may save money and energy."
