flnaijiiyiitaiayyiii with JiiNllnr WMthi-ifoid SJ ) Under that beautiful pink sky on Sundny Afternoon, dozens of pickups rolled in from the mountains carryinR Christmas trees. Some tarried extra wood for heating beneath their trw8. All the decorated trees should lift spirits and the cut-up wood will warm bodies. My spirit really slumped when I learned that our congressmen were considering raising their own salaries by 17 percent. They must be in a rush to regain any personal funds they expended in campaigning for re-election. Do you suppose that all pensions and social security Income will Jump upward that much ? How in the world can this country ever reach a balanced budget with leadership that believe in big cuts for other people but wants to boost their own sal linen? Along vith the news of the contemplated congressional salary raises came Oregon's governor's proposals for Increases In several taxes, biggest of all in the personal Income tax, These increases will hurt Oceanians hut seem a more sensible approach toward balancing a budget than the plans of our national leaders. What a busy time our world is into-Christmas parties, annual meetings, home decorating, Christmas card writing and mailing, package wrapping and mailing, the last minute rush to finish projects. Are you finding more postal card greetings in your mail this year? I have received five so far, all different, but each is bright and attractive. Considering the five-cent difference in postage now current, 1 wish I had lxHn smart enough to use postal cards, too. Idist week the Morrow County Museum curator and directors were guests in the home of Amanda Duvall for their annual meeting. Mrs. Duvall has arranged these meetings since 11(58, two years before the present museum opened in the building she gave to the community.

Cutsforth and Elaine George Itachcl Harnett, who is now employed by the county for five hours per week, hut who volunteers for many more hours, is titled museum director. Johnnne Wood, who works at the museum 20 hours each week, is the curator. The annual Farm City banquet and the mi-clings of the Morrow County Cattlemen and of the CowBelles attracted many lo Heppner last Friday. At the CowBelles luncheon one of the ladies who al tended the recent Wheat Growers Stale Convention in Portland was saving how disappointing their banquet menu was It seems they served fish and white rice to the wheat and beef folks. The CowBelles luncheon featured meatballs iheefi and spaghetti (wheat), When hoard members and officers of the Bank of Eastern Oregon traveled to Arlington for that institution's annual mwling, the ladies who went along spent afternoon hours in the home of artist Mattel Krebs where they were able to view her lovely paintings, mainly of flowers. As the new building for the bank at lone progresses, residents there are excited about its floorplan, alxiut its safety deposit facilities, and its total contribution to their community. Because this is a Christmas when most of my family are coming to Heppner, 1 have been mulling over what to feed the multitude. My second son. who lives in Medford, loves to cook. When I wrote to him last week, I asked what he thought about us having smoked turkey for Christmas dinner? He telephoned me lo say "That sounds good, Mom -would you like us to bring a smoked turkey from here?" I thanked him but said that 1 had planned to talk with a grocer here and I fell quile sure I could buy a good smoked turkey in Heppner. Now I am feeling very good about the holiday meals, and grateful that Theta I-owe told me about this treat. I won't need to spend hours cooking the bird and it won't crowd other Ihings out of my oven. It took me awhile to learn about this special treal being available in Heppner, but I would so much rather buy it from a friend here than get it from a large enterprise. Affer Christmas I'll let you all know how my family and I liked the smoked turkey, Now for a final few words from Charles Dickens. "May each year be happier than the last, and not the meanest of our brethren or sisterhood debarred their rightful share in what our Great Creator formed them to enjoy."
