Mary Ann Cerullo
By a stroke of luck my husband's mother and father,
Eleanor and Duke, were able to grab an excursion flight out
to visit us from the East Coast early this summer.
They came from of city of four million where a large
spread is a 200 x 200 foot lot and a typical farm holds maybe
500 acres, so it was perhaps understandable that my
mother-in-laws first reaction of Morrow County was with
panic. (We came in on Morgan Road from Arlington.)
"But where are the people?" she cried.
The fist several miles were all dry rangeland, sage and
scrub brush over what seemed to be endless rolling hills.
Slowly, evidence of life began emerging. A few head of
cattle appeared by the road, eyeing us lazily as the car
kicked up dust in their faces. Then the fields began, acres and
acres of green.
"What is it?" my inlaws exclaimed.
It was wheat, growing tall, waving slightly in the warm
breeze.
"It's so lush," remarked Larry's dad.
Many miles of wheat and cattle passed before Duke and
Eleanor began relaxing over the view.
Finally the words began: "Oh Duke, it's gorgeous." and
"Beautiful simply beautiful."
Eleanor later complained that "gorgeous" and beautiful"
were the only two words she knew.
One day Eleanor made a passing mention that she was
interested in thunder eggs and other rocks from Oregon to
take back with her. For two days friends were calling, trying
to arrange for us to meet some area Rock Hounds. Mother
was amazed at people's kindness.
In the midst of all the thunder eggs, Larry and I learned
about the Opal Butte area at the southern end of the county.
So the four of us went driving.
We discovered Tupper, Lone Rock. Anson, Wright Park,
and of course they saw the areas bonafied ghost town.
Hardman.
While we were leaving the woods of Anson Wright Park,
Eleanor shook her head.
"This is pretty. Mary Ann." she said, "but let's go back to
the rolling hills. They're so much more peaceful and
relaxing."
For two weeks Larry's folks saw North and Central
Eastern Oregon. Duke and Larry went target shooting.
4-wheeI driving, and just plain investigating. I tagged along
on some of their expeditions. But when Mother was invited to
go along, all she would say is. "I'm not going on any crazy
dirt roads!"
It wasn't until the day before they had to leave that we
managed to shove her into the truck, switch into 4-wheel
drive and head for the back roads.
You have never heard such a blood-curdling screech in
your life! Four of us were packed into a three-person cab.
Mother was propped up on Duke's lap. her feet against the
dashboard, and her hands trying to cover her eyes
and mouth simultaneously. Larry was driving and I was
wedged somewhere in the middle.
By the time we had reached the top of the rise, Eleanor had
collected enough courage to peep through her fingers and
look out over the folding golden hills.
"Why. they look just like sofa pillows! "she cried. And sure
enough, they did.
The following morning Larry's parents said farewell to
.several new friends. And as we drove away they turned to us
and said never had they met so many warm and friendly
people than in Morrow County.
"It's God's country," Duke said. "You should be glad
you're in it."
We are. Dad. we are.

ZETTE-TIME
said Woodhurn "With lowei
numbers of spores, a longei
time or a hotter room wai
needed for potatoes to spoi
within this time."
Unfortunately, the potatoes
when unsafe to eat, did not
appear Hpoiled, There wert
only minor changes.
And the amount of toxin
formed was high.
"In the most toxic potato
tested, there was enough toxin
In a gram of potato near where
the spores had been added to
kill 200,000 mice, the test used
to determine toxicity." said
Woodhurn.
But there is an easy answer
to the toxic baked potato
problem .
"After baking, store left
over potatoes in the refrigera
tor." said Woodhurn, "This
also will prevent other spoil
age problems.
