extensively several times before, but his primary goal this

county again on Aug. 23.
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 young people from this county who competed included
Jana Steagall, Lexington; Anita Palmer, lone; Cliff
Dougherty, Trish, Tara and Mike Mahoney, Tony Mike and
Steve Currin, Pat Schwarz, Maureen Healy, Kathleen and
Anne Van Schoiach, Jeff Bailey and Kathy Hanson, all from
Heppner: Rocky Steagall and Brad Huwe, Irrigon; Don
Kindsfather, Lexington and Brett Sherer, lone.
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.
