Much wailing and gnashing of teeth has been heard
throughout the area since the November electric co-op
billings have been received. Practically everyone is shocked
by the increased charges and is very upset that another two
rate Increases are foreseen next year. It seems that having
been previously notified of this current increase and now
knowing about future increases doesn't help too much. Many
are quick to forget what good rates we have enjoyed here for
many years.
It is hard to hear several voices praising the co-op through
the loud complaining. However, again Columbia Basin
crews have been responsible for doing much of the work of
installing the pretty Christmas lights through town--and it
seems that this year the lights extend even farther north on
Main Street than they have before. Also, quile a few citizens,
me Included, m e grateful that the co-op crews helped us after
the recent severe winds had broken trees and done other
damage.
Isn't the town Christmas tree the most perfect specimen
placed in front of the hotel building in many years? It is so
full and so symmetrical; It is a shame that the lights can't
come lower on it but because of past vandalism it is felt that
wouldn't be wise. Just why removing Christmas lights and
smashing them around can bring anyone satisfaction is
hard for most of us to understand.
Many families are getting their trees selected and will soon
have them up and lighted with their lights shining through
home windows. The large, thickly lighted tree in front of a
home on Quiad Street has been such a pretty, early
town-brightener. Last weekend outside lightings began
shining from many spots.
This week front doors will be seen decked with greenery
and gay ribbon bows because the ladies of the homes either
built or bought Christmas wreaths or swags at the Garden
Club workshop in connection with the Artifactory . For a time
on Saturday afternoon about 20 women were absorbed in
wiring greenery together in the 4-H Annex w here they were
surrounded by the beautiful paintings on exhibit by Morrow
County Artists and where everyone enjoyed the smell of the
fresh greenery.
The A AUW -organized Artifactory drew a fine crowd from
before its 10 a.m. opening until its 4 p.m. closing. It seems
that after many moves the Artifactory has found an
adequate, practical home with ample parking for patron
cars. Those who have worked with this venture through the
years recall its growth through several locations such as the
Degree of Honor Building, St. Patrick's Hall, and the then
-vacant Gillam-Bisbee building's downstairs,
then-vacant Gilliam-Bisbee buillding's downstairs.
The new well established, first Saturday in December
event couldn't possibly be accommodated in any of its earlier
locations. So it is good that the fairground building is
available. This sale has become such a worthwhile outlet for
many talented craftspersons and kitchen artists and a large
assortment of other creative persons. The AAUW still sells
books; however, this year they offered new books for
children, not used books. The cooperative arrangements that
brought the Greens Workshop and the great oil painters into
joint occupancy of the 411 Annex has increased the
excitement and overall community benefit of the Artifactory.
As the Christmas Holiday nears, lots of folks are finding
their days whizzing by and seeming very short. Calendars
re getting well filled. This week's Farm and City Banquet .
at the fairground on Friday night will be a top community
event. Most of the churches and many social groups have
planned Christmas programs and parties for the next several
weeks. We all know that December 21 is actually the year's
shortest day. but the days surrounding that date are mighty
short, too.
