Thanks to the children at the Heppner Vacation Bible
School the Heppner City Library will have some new
children's books this year.
The Reverend Mike Sheridan presents Librarian Bethel
Heinrichs with a $78 check towards purchase of books for the
children's section of the library.
This makes the second year in a row the children opted to
donate their free will offering to the library. Mrs. Heinrichs
said the money donated last year went to purchase a set of
nine Laura Ingalls Wilder books.

Recently I came across some amusing and interesting
quotes and clippings which pertain to this area.
One of these concerned the town of lone and how the name
of this small community in Morrow County furnished
Harey W. Scott with ammunition for a characteristic
editorial which appeared in the "Oregonian" June 22, 1903,
after the Great Flood of June 14 had brought into prominence
various geographic names in this area of the state.
He said: "Let us take advantage of the present occasion to
correct the correct pronunciation of 'lone,' the town on
Willow Creek, below Heppner. In current use they call it
I -one, with accent on the last syllable, almost universally.
But lone is a name of three syllables, the accent properly on
the second. So, many of our people say I rene, two syllables,
with accent on the last. But Irene is a name of three syllables,
with accent on the second. We have a steamboat that most
persons call Cal-li-ope, with accent on the final syllable. But
Calliope is a name of four syllables with accent on the second.
Again, in the name of Arion, the accent is commonly placed
on the first syllable. But the correct pronunciation places it
on the second syllable making the V long. Our schools and
academics should insist on the right pronunciation of these
and other names. In Idaho, on the Oregon Short Line, they
call a town Sho-shone - two syllables, with accent on the
ultimate. Now, Shoshone is not a classical Greek name, as
the foregoing are, but' an Indian one. Nevertheless, the
Indians called ti Sho-sho-ne, accenting the final syllable, as
emigrants who came across the plains perfectly remember."
That's enough to make me tongue-tied in my eyes!
By the way, for you newcomers like me, the town of lone
was named by E.G. S perry, who owned land in 1883, for lone
Arthur, a girl from Brownsville who was visiting the S perry
family.

The fourth grade class
performed an original play
which they had developed
along with their coach, the
Rev. Maas. who taught them
some elementary showman
ship. Their play grew from a
basic theme with characters
developing and expanding
through each practice. It dealt
with the acceptance of a new
kid by an established group.
