Ione's Fred and Helen Martin and Heppner's Mary Goheen have all returned from their attendance at the Omerammergau Play. Some of them found Germany was having rains. The play Is performed as scheduled even when the skies open up. The audience of about 4,000 sits under cover, but the performers don their rainy-day costumes and do their acting on a large uncovered stage. We hear that Dr. and Mrs, L. D. Tibbies have had recent visitors from Ohio. Their son Lance and his family came back to his hometown to visit with his parents and to enjoy Oregon weather. Last week we mentioned Garnett Barratt's 80th birthday purty up at Soap Lake. We did not then know that Happy and Claude Graham and Hazel and Frank Hamlin had the pleasure of being in the group Including the Barratt sons and other family members and long-time friends which was hosted by George and Ruth Rugg. When Hazel describe the food served at the outdoor celebration she makes ones mouth water with her talk of barbequed lamb, salmon and beef and more side dishes and more birthday cakes than folks could manage to eat. She also tells that the next morning, Garnett insisted on taking 14 friends, including the Grahams and the Hamlins over to Wenatchee for a super Sunday breakfast. One of the busiest places in town these days is Delia McCurdy's Church Street duplex where many friends stop afternoons to visit with Ella Smith, whom Delia is enjoying as a hoimegucst while Ella is recovering from surgery, One recent afternoon, both Delia and Ella were telling friends how they regret that the historic bank building in lone is being razed. Delia recalled that years ago the only paved sidewalks in lone were those at the bank corner, where Bhe ays all the lone kids learned to roller skate. Last Friday quite a few Morrow Countv folks took in the Umatilla County Fair in Hermiston. Some were senior citizens who enjoyed free admission that day. Among the most enjoyable exhibits they saw were the arts and crafts, the 411 projecs, the flower and vegetable sections and the open-class homemakcr's achievements. That evening the Umatilla County Junior Rodeo drew a big crowd. I was pleased to attend with Inez Erwin, who has many years of rodeo understanding, and with Helen Cur r in, who had three grandsons among the performers. The evening's program listed many Morrow County folks who had leadership responsibilities and many young folks from here who demonstrated their competitiive rodeo skills. Bob Mahoney Heppner, is the president of the Western States Junior Rodeo Association; Bill Steagall, Irrigon, is vice-president and Carole Steagall, Irrigon, is the erctary-treasurer. The other leadership positions are held by Oregon and Idaho residents. Among the many prizes were were awarded to winners in each classification. Three were from county donors-The Eastern Oregon Farming Co., Boardman, and Western Empire and Western Alfalfa, both of Irrigon.

The big excitement in town on Saturday centered around U.S. Representative Al Ullman's visit. In preparation for his tour and the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Pioneer Memorial Hospital, many ladies baked cookies and others, particularly Irene Swanson and Jane Rawlins of the Heppner Garden Club collected and arranged flowers. They found their flower collecting especially delightful In the full, blooming garden of Clayton Ayers on Gale Street. Clayton certainly has two green thumbs and has carefully planted and nurtured a wonderful variety of flowers that make the Ayers yard about the most colorful spot in Heppner. Members of the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Auxiliary served as hostesses and guides for the tour groups. Everyone admired the neww addition and its splendid equipment which was explained to them by "Lucky" Felt. The visitors enjoyed meeting a visiting doctor from Maine who had come to look over Heppner. The climax of the afternoon was watching Congressman Ullman cut the ribbon to the new wing indicating federal acceptance of the project. That evening the weather was perfect for a picnic, the food was ample and delicious, the folks who gathered at the Courthouse Park were friendly, receptive and very attentive as Representative Ullman reviewed congressional problems and answered questions about governmental matters that affect this area. On Sunday morning Mr. Ullman and the Cutsforths joined a goodly number of worshippers at the United Church of Christ in lone. The service was very Informal during the vacation of the Rev. Cathy Barker. Everyone was most friendly and, as always, the music was particularly enjoyable. Just after noon the congressman was off to keep an afternoon appointment in Fossil. Next week everyone should be very busy carrying exhibits to the County Fair, and before the weekend many will be carrying home award ribbons and prize money. We will be seeing you all at the fairgrounds and at the big parade on Saturday, Aug. 23.
