Scott and Jeannie Adkisson. a Bend couple, took over Heppner Family Savings from Bud and Doreen Englert on Nov. 12. Besides renaming the store the S&J Market (for Scott and Jeannie). the Adkissons plan to make some changes -"includirigaiHition of a butcher block, meat and produce. Scott, who worked at Albertson's in Bend, and Jeannie, who was employed by Safeway there, say they also intend to do . some remodeling of the store front. Scott is the son of Ron and Joan McDonald. The business, originally named the "Orange Front," was established in the 1800's by Henry Heppner and was located in the building where Case Furniture is now. The Thomson brothers bought the store from Heppner in 1900, named it "Thomson Brothers Grocery," and moved it to its present location around 1912. Jim Thomson, Jr., started working there for his father, Jim, Sr., in 1926. In 1942. Jim, Jr., and his wife, Madge, bought the store and operated it until retiring in the fall of 1978. Altogether, Jim, Jr., worked there for 52 years, and Madge for 45 years (off and on) until selling it to the Englerts. The Englerts, who haven't as yet, announced any specific plans, have a daughter. Linda, 16. The Thomsons, who still live in Heppner, say they miss the "Main Street business scene."

With the many stresses on families today, the more activities and interests shared by families, the stronger the family unit. Four-H has al ways included families in their programming, but now a much greater emphasis is underway. As new club groups are forming for the new 4-H year, we hope mothers and fathers will feel free to attend club meetings and offer their support to the leader working with their children. Younger brother or sister, too, can be a part of the 4-H experience, through associate member ship. While the age for 4-H membership is 4th through 12th grades, many leaders will allow associate membership. The younger child may be allowed to participate in most club experiences, but not exhibit at fair until they are of enrollment age. However, any project they have completed could be exhibited in open class. Recent examples of 4-H family events' were the two -' "achievement" or "family""" nights in Irrigon and Heppner. Both were potluck with main Rolling pin ot Zzh Wed. dish furnished by the councils. Families came to honor mem bers for their completing a successful year of club work and to be present while each member was recognized for his or her accomplishment. They enjoyed, too, current and past slides of events and activities of 4-H members. When you hear "4-H" in the future, picture a family doing things together. We will be offering more and more op portunities of the family kind. Dinner meetings offer oppor tunities for dining out According to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Americans have been spending more of their food dollars on cooking at home and fewer on dining out during the last 18 months. Figures indicate that grocery sales in the first half of the year increased, while over the same period last year, rest aurant sales dropped. Looking at the number of dinner meetings coming up in our immediate area during the next week or so, we feel there will be a big surge of '"eating out." Our calendar shows Columbia Basin Elec tee's annual dinner meeting scheduled for Nov. 5. Jordan aolld mapla hardwood. 104-7S02(Z) Prices Good Sat. Nov. 22 J Winston Jm Elevator's annual meeting with a big turkey dinner was held last week. Monday, Nov. 10, the Morrow County Grain Growers annual dinner event is sure to draw a crowd. You can come sample the pasta at the special Extension-Wheat Commission program on that topic on Nov. 11, and follow it up the next night by attending the Morrow County Wheat Growers meeting and dinner. To top off all that good eating, most meetings have interest ing guest speakers, too. We don't venture to guess that local eating out will affect national trends, but there are reasons for Americans eating more at home. Government analysts attribute this change to several factors. Inflation and recession are limiting disposable income; high gas oline prices are resulting in less driving, and consumers are finding they can save by preparing meals at home. Maybe some are even discov ering the joy of having the whole family around the dinner table, sharing their 1ays events and activities. If . this (rent to eating at home strengthens family together ness. ...we are for it. New leader ready to start club Lexington area boys and girls may call Mella Britt (Mrs. John), if they wish to join a 4-H clothing club. She is ready and anxious to get a group going, and will take beginners or those more advanced . Mella moved to the Lexing ton area recently, and has years of 4-H experiences to draw on as she starts as a new leader here. Call Ms. Britt, or the extension office for more details. An apple a day All varieties of apples are hitting the markets, both locally grown and from near by states, resulting from one of the best apple crops in recent years. With the large crop, and because they have not been in storage, prices should be favorable for the consumer. There's something about the cool fall air that makes me think of a crisp, Red Delicious apple, but many other vari eties are also available. Gol den Delicious are considered an all purpose apple, good for eating or for pies and sauces. Lee's Carpet of Carpet Seh Ends pondsy Flov. BUY NOW AND SAVE!!
