The Heppntr Gairtte-Tlmes. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, April 2. 1MI-THREE Close to' Home... 'iii- Mary Ann Cerullo Museum not just a place for stray relatives How many times have you taken a Saturday or Sunday afternoon off with the family and stopped by the Heppner Museum? If you're like me, the answer is not often. Oh sure, the museum in a nice looking brick building to drive by once or twice a day, Very few cam are ever parked out front, but plenty spaced are designated. JuHt In case, And Bhould a stray relative or friend drop in from out of town requiring Instant entertaining, where does one go? Suddenly, that handsome red-brick building on Main Street seems like just the place, It's amazing how much one can learn from their hometown museum; why, almost as much as the visitor! The other day my husband, Larry, and I were visiting with a couple who had been living in Morrow County a good many years, and out of the conversation I was amazed to learn that neither of them had ever set foot in the Heppner Museum. Then 1 realized that 1 too hadn't truly seen all the displays. This Monday I remedied that, When I first entered, I found Rachel Harnett, museum curator, working next door in the library, She was busily filing cards for Bethel Heinrich, (he librarian. Rachel explained to me that "This time of year you somelimes don't see anyone all week. I just come in here (to the museum ) and sit. So, right now I'm spending time over at the library filing. At least I'm useful there." Rachel Harnett led me into each room in the museum turning on lights as we went. An 1 viewed the valuable antiques, pictures and items which came from the great flood of 19(13, not to mention the displays representing life in Morrow County as it was through the decades using true clothing and furniture of the times, I realized how much of the community is represented through gifts from numerous local families. Any questions in your mind about things of the past? Drop in and see your local museum. 6A Time for Friends' theme of '81 4-H Week "A Time For Friends" is the theme of Bill 4 H Summer Week at Oregon State Univer sity, June 15 - 20. according to John Nordhcim.

Mrs. Lindltergh's new book is the fifth and last of her published personal diaries and letters extending from 1022 to 1M4 and spanning the years after WWI and leading to and during WWII. "I started this volume in order to leave a record as I saw it of the period my husband and I lived through in the prewar years. I wanted to show the unwritten side of his 'Wartime Journals,' to say the things he could never say. By looking at the inner side of a tapestry, one can often uncov er patterns and colors that reveal a complexity and meaning invisible on the surface. I find, in the end. I have revealed, not an annotat ed record of those years, tint simply and intensely personal story of two individuals: a complex man and his struggle to follow what his background, his character and integrity demanded; and a complex woman of quite a different background, who must recon cile her divided loyalties in a lime of stress. II is not so much history or a factual wartime record as it is simply a personal story. II is I realize, more personal, more open, and more vulnerable, and. because of this, ultimately more honest Hum any of the preceding four volumes."

"This introduction, written today, has the benefit of hindsight and almost forty years of reflection, study and reading. I have tried to be accurate and objective, a necessary and crucial effort. Fact and figures have blurred in the mists of propaganda from both sides. Who were the non-interventionists --or isola tionists, as they were called by their op(Mnents? II is a rare individual who remembers anyone but Charles Lind IxTgh. The widespread im pression remains that only a small minority of reaction aries and bigots opposed the United States entry into the war." After the death of Charles in 1974. Anne's life took a new direction. Five children and numerous grandchildren have given continuity lo her close knit family life, but beyond this, her energies were absor bed in helping prepare her husband's papers for post humous publication. Just re cently has she concentrated again on writing her own thoughts. "War Within and Without" includes 44 illustrations princ ipally showing the Lindberghs and their children, their many homes, their activities and thvir family pels.
