with Justine Weatherford J Here we arc at Halloween already, and of course, Election Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming quickly. Heppner High's homecoming activities enlivened last week and brought another football victory (with no Injuries to team members). The colder nights and days, too, are causing more smoke from wood fires to curl upward from more homes. A few lucky owners of winter and summer homes have taken off from their summer homes here to their winter homes In warmer climes. "Doc" and Edith Babb should be basking in Arizona sunshine by now at their winter home In Apache Junction. Gladys Connor and Grace Buschke returned from a wonderful, two-week visit in San Antonio, Texas, where the 80 degree weather was humid. Grace stayed with her aunt, Alice Hastings, who continues to read this paper regularly. They saw so many places of high interest-five or six old Spanish missions including the historic Alamo, the L.B.J. Ranch, Padre Island and some of the devastation left by hurricane Ellen, parts of the great King Ranch, off-shore and on-shore oil activities, beautiful old mansions built of native Itone.especiully the Serves home, so beautifully restored and exquisitely furnished. Thry took a ri verboat cruise on the San Antonio River. Every day the Hasting daughters, Evonne Connor and Clarice Henry, took them to see something different. Evonne is married to Gladys and Frank Connor's son, Roger, with whom Gladys stayed. They have a grocery store at Lytle, close to San Antonio, After their great Texas visit the two ladies flew back to Portland where they viHited for two nights. Grace visited her granddaughter, Linda Rifiby, and Gladys visited her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wendell Connor, and a grandson, John, and his wife. Hazel Hamlin, who recently underwent surgery in Heppner. is still telling of the wonderful five days she and Frank had in Greshnm before her hospitalization. They On I tended the 75th anniversary and reunion of the Greshum Volunteer Fire Department, in which Frank first served as a teenager. There were 200 at the banquet, and Frank was honored as the oldest volunteer. Frank's sister was also an early member of the volunteer department, belonging to the girls' hoc team, affectionately called the "bloomer girls." At the banquet Frank and his sister were seated at the head table. The Hamlin's son-in-law, Joe Wright, their daughter Maryette's husband also belongs to the volunteer firemen. Hazel reports that It was such fun renewing old friendships and reviving happy memories. Many old pictures were on -display Ml the reunion, including some of the bloomer girls lined up ready to work as the hose team. Several weeks ago Irene and Vern Nolan were in town on business. When I visited with Irene in the bank she gave me yellowing copies of the Gazette-Times printed in 1928 and 19:H. Irene said I should look them over, show one of them to Irene Anhorn, and then probably take them to the county museum. I haven't yet read every article, but I have found especially fascinating the Feb. 9, 1928, 45th Anniversary mjtooster Edition of 40 pages, which is now over 52 years old. ytawter and Spencer Crawford were publishers and subscription rates wcre-one year, $2; six months, $1; three months, 75 cents ond single copies five cents. What a buy the Booster Edition was. I note thut Harold Becket, my neighbor, has a front page, by line article. There is a poge of baby pictures entitled "Samples of Morrow County's Best Crop."

Crop insurance deadline near 8 Wheal growers wishing to Insure their WHI wheat and fall barley crops have only untl Oct. 31 . i 80 to apply for a policy, according to local district dim-tor, Andy Bak of USDA's Federal Crop Insur ance Corporation. Producers of l!)H wheal and barley may find Insurance especially attractive because of major improvements in the insurance policy, said Bak. The changes provide wheat growers sharply increased flexibility to tailor the insur ance protection to their indiv idual needs in terms of yield guarantees and indemnity payment levels. Bak said those now insured will not be affected unless they want a change in their coverage which must also be done by Oct. 31. For information on the protection that is currently available and what it costs, write to the Federal Crop Insurance office at 1229 S.E. 3rd. Pendleton. Ore. 97801 or phone 503-276-3811 Ext. 437.

The meeting, sponsored by the Department of Fish and Wildlife, will Van Informa tion session to explain the draft proposal of the Columbia River Comprehensive Plan. Public comment on the plan will also be sought. The draft comprehensive plan deals with three major issues: bringing salmon and Bteelhead production back to former levels, harvest of those fish surpluses and the struc ture of future management authority in the Columbia River basin. According to Fish and Wildlife Department Director Juck Donaldson, this plan will play a major role in the upriver fish runs and the way Northwesterners use these resources in the future. Donaldson described the need for public comment on the proposal as "critical for the development of a workable plan that is acceptable to all involved parties." October 24 is the final day for public comment before the plan is presented to the Columbia River Fisheries Council. The plan was prepared by private consultants and fund ed by the Pacific Northwest Regional Commission, a body whose members include the governors of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho.
