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.

Local Bookworms review
Anne Lindbergh book
Hy Jl 'STINK
WEATHKIIEOIMI
Las! year Anne Morrow
Lindbergh's thirteenth Ixwik
was published. Kuby Becket
presented a review of this
collection of selected excerpts
from Lindbergh's letters and
diaries for the Bookworms on
March 24 in the home of
Lorena Jones.
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."
Her excellent 1H page intro
duction to the book stales
are expected for the annual
event which features a wide
variety of classes, many
geared lo introducing young
people to possible careers,
leisure time activities and
special programs.
A new feature this year will
le a special leadership work
shop for ninth grade students.
The 40 young people in the
class will plan and conduct a
special evening program late
in the week.

"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

row Lindbergh skillfully com
bines elements of her hus
band's biography, her autobio
graphy and much contempor
ary history in this work.
