Currin housewarming
enjoyed by many
By JUSTINE
WEATHERFORD
Last Saturday night, Aug.
15, a great housewarming
barbecue was held on the
Currin Ranch where about
five hundred family members,
neighbors and friends from
many places came to cheer
Tom and Marlene, the newly
wed homemakers.
As folks looked down on the
cene from the Butter Creek
Road, the large parking area
full of vehicles, the lights
blazing in the several homes
and other buildings and the
mass of people milling about
looked like a county fair or
maybe a huge auction sale
was in progress. A full moon
shone down on the gala affair,
helping to brighten the festiv
ities. Everyone enjoyed visiting
and many strolled through the
new spacious home that the
Tom Currins have erected and
are now occupying. Ron
Currin introduced the even
ing's master of ceremonies,
family friend, Jack Madison,
from Tillamook, who has
hunted from the Currin Ranch
for many years. Madison
introduced the senior host and
hostess, Currin parents and
grandparents, George and
Helen, along with the reasons
for the .party, Tom and
Marlene. He also presented
Monsignor George Murphy
form Long Creek who is filling
in at St. Patrick's in Heppner
while Father O'Brien is in
Ireland. Monsignor Murphy
brightened the occasion with
several humorous stories be
fore he offered a clever
invocation. .
It was announced that 1,000
barbecued hamburgers would
soon be ready. Many tables

"No I don't. I thing the rate of percentage Increase Is too
large especially for the middle income and elderly people.

for it. We're not using thai much more than we have been. I
