An "old time butcher block" may bring back a taste of
the heritage of an 80-year-old-plus Main Street Heppner
business. .
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."

4-H is for families -
Throughout Oregon. 4-H is
stressing family involvement.
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.

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

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.

Samples came to Heppner from Kinzua.
The Fortenberrys, who came to Heppner seven years ago from La Grande, said they will be
liquidating their business, P4D Auto repair. (P&D, if you haven't already guessed, stands for
Paul and Donna.) The Fortenbcrrvs have four children. Jeff, Alun, Polly, and Danny.

Wash., around the first of the year. His business will cover Cashmere, Wenatchee and a large
surrounding area, In the meantime, he will travel to Ohio to get his truck und tools.
Irene says she will remain in Heppner so that their children may finish out the school year
here. The Samples have three children, Dianne, Andy and Heidi.

You'll find Roman Beauties,
Jonathans, or almost any
favored new or old variety if
you check the fruit stand and
groceries.
When you take them home,
handle them with care. Store
properly in a cool, moist place
and use care that they are not
bruised. The old saying "an
apple a day...." has been
around a long time. Whoever
coined the phrase knew that
nothing beats a good crisp,
juicy apple for a snack any

Most people are uncomfort

The dry air also absorbs mois

of those suffering from the
