FOUR-The Heppner Gaiette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. December 17, 1981
Close to Home Mary Ann Cerullo
Last Sunday, Dec. 13, we lit the pink candle, the candle of
joy for Advent.
During Advent, our family has a holly or Christmas greens
wreath as the dining table centerpiece. Placed in the wreath
are four tall candles. Three of them are purple and one is
pink, with each candle representing the one of the four
Sundays in Advent.
On the first Sunday of Advent, four weeks before
Christmas, we light the first purple candle and continue to
light it every evening at dinner time during the week.
As one of us lights the purple candle, he says,"As I enkindle
: this candle, enkindle the hearts of thy people."
The response is,"So they may renew the face of the earth."
Last Sunday was the third Sunday in Advent. All month
long we have been preparing ourselves for the birth of Jesus
Santa's Workshop
A G-T holiday feature
(Editor's note: Beginning Thanksgiving week and
continuing through the December 24 issue, the G-T will
publish Santa's Workshop as a special holiday feature for our
readers. Each week a G-T staff member will give
instructions to make a Christmas ornament or. craft. Some
projects will be primarily for children, others are for
children and adults.
From us to you, Happy Holidays.
by doing penance. But this week is the week of joy. It is now
that we can look forward to His birthday with gladness and
rejoicing.
Advent is a time of preparation and of waiting for the birth,
as most of us know, but that isn't all. There is another
purpose for Advent that many people overlook.
Perhaps it would be wise for us to someday, before
December 25, sit down with a dictionary and look up the word
"advent."
What does it mean? Literally it means "the coming." In
other words, it is a time for us to prepare and wait in eager
anticipation for the Coming of Christ, when He will be with us
again, not just during Christmas, but on that awesome day
when He will return to us to take us home.

Personalized Christmas tree ornament from
Betty Wight, graphic arts
The idea of making a personalized Christmas tree
ornament came from my husband Bob's family. The
tradition was started so that each family member would
have his own special tree ornament.
Materials needed: styrofoam ball, rickrack, enough felt to
cut out the name to be used, scissors, small straight pins and
various shaped sequins.
Instructions:
1. Cut a piece of rickrack to fit from the top of the ball to
the bottom of the ball, so that it runs down only one side of the
ornament.
2. Pin the rick rack in place.
3. Cut another piece of rick rack and fold it in half,
pinning the ends together in the center of the ball to form a
hanger.
Cut the selected name out of the piece of felt.
5. Pin the letters of the name onto the ball.
6. Decorate the letters of the name with sequins.
7. Pin the remaining sequins on the ball to finish
decorating it.
8. Hang the ornament on the tree.
These Christmas tree ornaments are simple to make, are
unbreakable and are pretty too.

County.
Ix-'ft. Lowering welded sections into the
ditch.
Center. Crossing Palouse country.
Right. Submerging pipe in the Spokane
River last summer.
o
nee the digging started, it didn't take long.
In less than a year, 160-miles of 42-inch steel pipe was laid underground over hill and dale,
through solid rock, under highways and across river bottoms.
A $176-million project completed on time and under budget.
Phase I of the Western Leg, Alaska Natural Gas Transportation System is now operational.
The 42" pipeline buried along the right-of-way of an existing 36" pipeline allows 240-million
more cubic feet per day of natural gas to be delivered from Canada to California. It is the first
step toward the completion of a 4,800-mile system linking vast Alaskan and Canadian energy
resources to the lower 48 states.
On the local level, the system means added cash flow. Counties and communities along the
pipeline will soon receive additional operating tax revenues for civic services . . . including
schools.
Pacific Gas Transmission Company, with operating headquarters in Spokane, is proud of this
positive and productive move toward energy independence. We've been operating and
maintaining an existing natural gas pipeline and compressor stations for twenty years. Pipelines
are safe, efficient, ecologically sound. We now plan for the next "giant" step as part of the
Alaska gas delivery system to serve the Western United States.
PGT helping you benefit now while assuring a bright energy future.
