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.
Amanda serves as a permanent director; Herman Green
and Irene Kwanson are being recommended to the county
court for re-appointment for three-year terms; hold-over
directors are Ken Smouse. O W. 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."
