How lie tempo quickens as the Christian world hurries
toward Dec, 25. A good number of lodge parties, club parties,
: Cow Belli' (ind Cattleman meetings and the Farm and City
banquet kept people here extra busy last week. Thin week
there arc Kchool programs, church program and more
group and private parties.
, One smnll group, the Bookworns, who held their Christmas
meeting lust Thuiwlay at the Jim Thomson home, had a most
delightful surprise, Leta Humphrey Thomas, who was an
iictive member of the club for many years, sent each one in
the group a Rilver spoon from her wonderful collection. Her
Inng-timefrlend, Sadie Parrish, handed out the lovely spoons
which letu had collected from many different places.
F.avh woman there was surprised and delighted
with fond memories of Ixta and her very active life here in
Heppner. Several remarked "Now this is Just a typical, very
nice, generous and thoughtful gesture like Leta has often
made."
Last weekend a steady parade of shapely young trees came
out of Morrow's beautiful, snow-covered forests on the tops of
cars and on the bucks of pickups. By Sunday night many of
s them were decorated and lighted and twinkling through
? home windows.
j Last year Amanda Duvall really thought that the large
nativity scene, that has so significantly decorated her hillside
; yard since it was painted for her by Lois Winchester, would
not ever be put in place agnin. She said It was such a big job
' to erect II, and she just didn't think that she could expect
John I Abetter and his helpers to struggle with it one more
year.
Now Amanda has been pleasantly surprised because John .
came to her volunteering to see that the large figures and the
lighting Ik arranged again this week, Our community just
wasn't going to seem the same without that lovely Christmas
display.
Last wpek some citizens were so grateful to see how
quickly the town fire department responded to a call for help
on Jones Str"et . One neighbor there told me that it only took
a few minutes for help to arrive. Those of us who live on
(lilmore Street, the main approach to the hospital, think that
the crews that arc so quick to spread gravel when snow or ice
might cause traffic problems, need to be praised, too, i
It is so good to have Kay Anderson writing an account of
some of the recent travel adventures she and husband Frank
have had Their "Himalayan Nature Tour" really makes an
interesting story, and I am sure that other readers, too, are
looking forward to the next three parts she promises.
Kuy'n first installment ended with a statement that Frank
and t he other t iger hunters "returned covered with leeches. I
was glad I hadn't gone." Perhaps the natives of Tiger Haven
don't realize that they have something there that they might
market along with their tiger dude ranch.
1 just read a fascinating little account about the return of
the leech to modern medical practice. The Dec. 14 "Time
Magazine" (p. MX)) tells that New York doctors are now
happy (comport leeches from France at $3 per leech to use to
relieve blood congestion and give damaged blood vessels
time to grow. j
The article states "Leeches have long been associated with
archaic medical practices, like bloodletting to cure
everything from gout to mental illness. Lately, however, the
unlovable little creatures have been having a minor revival.
At New York's Montefiorc Hospital and Medieal Center
doctors are using them effectively to help save reattached
fingers."
What an odd coincidence- after not reading anything about
leeches fur many years, I suddenly find them referred to in
this newspaper and in "Time Magazine" almost
simultaneously. This made me want to dig up a few facts
about these little bloodsucking worms. What strange
creatures they are-yet they may really be helpful to
mankind.
"A leech's txidy is made up of a series of ringlike segments
and luis a disk -like sucker at each end Leeches may be from
3 j inch to eight inches long and can stretch or shorten their
hodie. They are black, red, or brown and may have stripes
or spots They have clusters of light-sensitive cells called
"eyes" near their front end. A leech contains both male and
female reproductive organs. Leeches live in damp places
such as jungles, or in the shallow water of streams."
Well, thai may be more than you ever wanted to know
about leeches -but since the medical world now finds them
critical to the success of replant surgery, some more of us
may meet them personally and might come to appreciate
t them.
If the Indian jungle dwellers would just read "Time
Magazine" they might learn about a new, profitable sale
item .
