Th lloppnrr Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, November 20, 1980-SEVEN with JuHtlne Wcathciford y The rather nuddon arrival of Bnow here last Friday brought "Ut winter clothes and got everyone talking about the weather. Rending through newspapers of 25 years ago, I diKcovered that Heppner had 20 degrees below zero in a horrible November cold spell In 1955. There was a longer than , usual power outage at the same time. An interesting Gazette-Times picture shows Dr. McMurdo wearing a precious, old beaver coat that he had saved for such an emergency. So cheer up-the weather could become much worse, recent history proves. Glancing back at last week, although flag -decorated downtown Heppner was very quiet on Armed Forces Day, some folks were very active. Former residents Gene and Fay Ferguson were here from their retirement home in Hermiston, because Gene, a lucky winner of some cut and wrapped beef at the Monday night Morrow County Grain Growers 5ith Anniversary dinner meeting, needed to collect his prize. Fay joined the Bookworms at their meeting at Inez Rrwin's home. She was a very regular attending member during the years thut the Fergusons lived here, and the present members were so pleased to have her with them to enjoy viewing the slides shown by extension leader Harold Kerr. He took the slides as he traveled on the Dow Chemical Co. tour hist year through East Texas and other southern areas. Because this venerable club has changed from evening to afternoon meetings, high school librarian Marion Abrams cannot attend regularly. It was so good to have her present on Nov, 11. a school holiday. Extension teacher Kerr surely does much educating in this county. Educational programs have abounded in Heppner this month The MCGG dinner meeting brought out many facts alsiut that enterprise. During the same hours Delta Huber was educating the members of the Heppner Garden Club about the techniques involved in hydroponic gardening. This R.N. is an outstanding gardener and an excellent teacher. Her presentation and the samples of her own success in "gardening without soil" held her audience's rapt attention. Delta and Pat Pettyjohn joined the Heppner Gardeners at their regular November meeting at Ida Farra's home on the second Monday of the month. o Armed Forces Day w'as properly commemorated by the Heppner American Legion and its auxiliary at the annual holiday dinner where veteran members were especially honored. Sixty -year pins were awarded to Clarence Bauman, Alva Jones, Frank Hamlin. Darl Hudson and Henry Peterson by the legion, and Hazel Hamlin was presented a 50 year pin by the auxiliary. We heard that Inez Meador, former Heppner educator who now lives near Brookings, spent some time in the Pioneer Memorial Hospital last week and early this week. Inez, who whs in the mid-Columbia area, determined that when she needed medical care she would come back to Heppner where she has many friends. During the cold days from Sunday into Thursday last week my home furnace decided not to function. An early call for help brought Clayton Avers who surely tried to fix it but who didn't have the parts needed. Then Ed Dick was re Q recommended and kindly came dnesday He too tried valiantly, but no longer had the cessnry tools or parts the job me that son Ray would be here "later in the week " What a relief it whs to have Ray Avers and his tall apprentice, son Chip, come from Pendleton Thursday and apply the necessary skill and the needed parts to the furnace, Uist Wednesday you may have noticed the Quintra Bus jin several locations around town. It brought a full load of senior citizens from the lrrigon Boardman area here for an educational and interesting look at the county museum and for dinner with the seniors of this area Everyone was pleased to see the bus being used so well. The AAUW branch deserves congratulations for arranging the Energy Fair last Thursday. The educational presentations there were well done and very interesting. It seems that community programs do not bring out very large audiences. Those who attended gained a wide selection of educational and practical information. Heppner Neighborhood Center is into an extra busy period. This week the regular dinners were held on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Wednesday dinner was the special Thanksgiving feast which meant extra preparations by chief cook, Eleanor Gonty. and assistant cook, Marilyn Betgstrom, and their helpers who prepared turkey and fixings. The Thursday afternoon craft ladies have been putting in extra time preparing attractive items for sale at the coming Artifactory. They have also been first assistants to the center staff in preparing for a long-planned sale at the center dining room this weekend. They will be selling some of the miscellaneous things that have been crowding the center's storage areas. Many bargains are promised to shoppers between fi a.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday and again on Saturday as long as the supply of saleables lasts. Several fall harvest dinners have been scheduled these weeks before Thanksgiving. A number of local church congregations have had or are having their annual congregational feasts. Next Saturday evening the Degree of Honor Lodge is holding its Thanksgiving dinner for members, their families and a few fortunate guests, all of whotn will surely enjoy seeing Delbert Piper's lovely colored slides of birds and plants of this area. Drama coach Jane Rawlins tells us that the dramatic program announced for the coming weekend at Heppner High has been re-scheduled. Now instead of coming the weekend before Thanksgiving it will be presented after the holiday. Many are very busy working on preparations for the big Saturday Artifactory which is fast approaching. Only two weeks from this Saturday much action will take place at the Fairground Pavilion Building and its 4-H Annex. Many tables have been reserved by groups and individuals in the larger room, while in the annex, the Heppner Garden Club's Greens Workshop and plant-craft sale will be augmented by a display of items from the lone Garden Club and will be enhanced by the Morrow County Artists' display and sale.

"I indicated when I started HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR GOOD WOOL CLOTHES Thanks to increased energy awareness, manufacturers are, perhaps more than ever before, promoting wool and wool blend fabrics as the "natural Fiber" one which lasts for years and provides warmth in a way that no synthetic fiber can. As Americans welcome the wool ics back into their ward robes, the following tips on proper care of woolens will be helpful: Wool garments should be stored in a cool, dry place, par ticularly during the summer months. Protect woolens against moth infestation by storing them in plastic or cardboard containers. If washable, woolens should be hand laundered in lukewarm water with a mild de tergent specifically formulated for such use; otherwise, they should be professionally dry -cleaned after repeated wear. After hand-washing a sweater, squeeze (never wring!) excess water from sweater, lie it flat on a towel and block to its original shape. Try to blot away grease, oil or ink stains as soon as they oc cur, as these are difficult to re move once they have set. Keeping track of child's gloves "Oh, no! Not again! That's the third pair of gloves this winter!" Sound familiar? Does your young child or absent-minded adolescent find it difficult to bold onto a pair of gloves with out leaving one or both on the school bus, in the playground, or in the snow? There's an easy solution: at tach a loop of yarn to the upper portion of the glove, and sew a button on the inside of the child's coat. Or, run a long strand of yarn through the sleeves of the jack et, and sew it to the edges of the glove. 10 amp Battery Charger 4895 90 1 nioe train wwmuwijm lexlngton 919-1221 said a school spokesperson.
