The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. September 25, 19H0-FIVK Wedding Announcements lluddlesion-Cutsforth O Inigon news t : By Justine Weatherford W Francis Rose Wilson 922-3352 V What an exciting week September's third week has been. Hopefully, most of the residents of this county went to the Carty Site to look at the great Boardman Coal-fired Plant. Several hundred county folks were there for the formal dedication on Tuesday and surely many more took advantage of the open house Invitation for the public to attend on Saturday and Sunday. Because I was lucky in making some arrangements several weeks in advance, I was able to fly to boardman in a small plane piloted by former commercial pilot Jim Hayes, a Heppner insurance man. How I enjoyed the bird's eye view of the beautifully patterned grain fields, of the several green valleys and of the many great circles of irrigated crops. The design of the ammunition depot at Ordnance was at first a puzzle, but reason brought out the answer to the never -before-viewed pattern of the many rows of bunkers there. It is not possible to fly across the Boeing Bombing Range, so Pilot Hayes and his three passengers flew north by east, winging over the south-western outskirts of Hermiston before turning west along the Columbia. We took off from Paul Hansen's tiny, private airstrip, but landed at Boardman on the much larger, paved airstrip which was certainly seeing lots of traffic on Tuesday, Sept. 16. Genial Boardman Mayor and Mrs. Gerald Peck generously transported we four Heppnerites and several Portland visitors out to the plant ' where three large tents were awaiting guests to the dedication ceremonies. The Riverside High School Band was playing as we entered the tents Governor Atiyeh was presented and gave a cordial but brief address after which he excused himself to rush off to another engagement. Several PGE officials and other industry guests were introduced before Frank M. Warren, PGK's Ixiard chairman gave a short dedication address and unveiled the bronze plaque which will be a permanent feature of the new plant. A group of tour buses from Portland stood ready to take visitors on tours of the grounds A plant official on each bus explained the many features of the operation and answered questions about the plant. Tours through the plant took a little longer than the bus tours about the grounds. The day was warm and the huge buildings were comfortable at the ground level, but liecame much warmer as one rose either by elevator or by the stairways to o, ontrol room, with its myriad of hundreds of flashing lights and appearance was the most impressive part of the plant to many. A very delectable and attractive buffet luncheon was served in the large Training Room, dining room, on the first floor of the plant to atxut 800 persons. People were encouraged to make a choice of lining up for luncheon or of taking one or both of the tours first and eating afterward. Many media people were in attendance, including the KATU Channel 2 news team from Portland. After our foursome had taken both tours, enjoyed the lunch and done a bit of visiting with other guests, we were taken back to the airstrip and flew homeward Our flight east and south was a little rougher than the morning flight had been, but again the ground patterns were intriguing. That same evening I joined other members of The bookworms at the first fall meeting of this venerable literary club out at Floyd and Ixirena Jones' home. Wednesday, found that I wasn't progressing loo well in whipping the cold I brought back from Port Orchard and had to make myself o st so that 1 would tc in fair grandmothering over the weekend. What fun it was having seven adults and four small frv around. How blessed we all felt when Marion Weatherford and his artist wife, Leona. who have just celebrated their 51st anniversary, took the entire assembly downtown for Saturday night dinner. It was great fun visiting by the home fireplace Saturday evening and Sunday morning Grandsons, four-year-old Billy Weatherford and three year-old Thomas Chenhall put on quite a show. Their tinier sisters, about-to-walk Pearl Chenhall. and sweet, smiley Bonnie Anne Weatherford were much quieter and easier to hold than the two vigorous little boys I often feel a bit jealous of my grandmother friends who see their little ones quite constantly while I only see my distant living children and their offspring a few times each year Right now , however. 1 must admit that I am not too certain that I could stand having even four, let alone all nine grandchildren around my home too constantly. So, soon things will smooih out again and 1 will eagerly look forward to more family togetherness, but right now this grandmother thinks that with the excitement of the Boardman dedication and the family visitation that she has had a very big week and is temporarily pretty tired.

The conservative, three piece business suit, long con sidered the new woman's "success uniform." has given way to dresses, many in bold colors. Jerry Silverman, executive director of the American Dress Council, has these suggestions for successful dressing. Depending upon your budget, have from three tosix basic dresses.
