FOL'R-The Heppner Gaiette-Times,
Around About
By Juttine Weatherford
As this shortest of months approaches its final day,
Heppner has surely had a remarkable assortment of weather
conditions - from bright, warm, spring sunshine back to
snowflakes in just two days.
It is so good to have the anguish many citizens were
suffering over the fear that the Heppner Neighborhood
Center might be closed abated now. Because I am of the
persuasion that whenever possible, institutions and
individuals should strive to be self-supporting, I have
wondered about a small change at the Neighborhood Center.
In many more populous communities there are Thrift
Shops, or St. Vincent DePaul Societies or Salvation Army or
Goodwill Stores. These organizations collect, repair and offer
many things for sale at very low prices. Our county has no
such outlet. The Neighborhood Center is a place that is given
many items of clothing and also miscellaneous articles that
they carefully sort and stock to give to needy individuals and
families.
I recall that after some of the many garage and yard sales
during the warm months here, the assortment of unsold
goods is taken to the center where Mrs. Brindle and her loyal
volunteer crew of daily assistants have sorted and stored the
usable items. We all agree that during times of stress and
unemployment and in cases of very limited pensions it is fine
to give out as much help as possible to those in dire need.
However, there are many people who have some need who
just can't accept charity - who would prefer being able to
pay small amounts for good pre-used clothing and household
articles. I have not talked my idea over with anyone in
authority at the center or in our county or city or in the
E.C.O.A.C., but I have been wondering if the center couldn't
try a little more selling - maybe just during the winter
months before the garage and yard sale season begins?
You may have observed that presently there is an
assortment of hand-made gift items for sale there. These
attractive things were made by the Thursday afternoon
ladies group, who enjoy socializing as they create clever
"whatnots." The money realized from the sale of these items '
goes into a fund from which more craft materials are
purchased. Any woman enjoying making new friends and
working with her hands is most welcome to the Thursday
afternoon group. '
My thought is that nearby the present sale shelves, there
might be added a few racks of children's and adults' clothing
which on five days each week, persons might look over and
purchase at very low prices. Perhaps this thrift shop idea
could be tried on a small scale, for a short time, to see if it
would help the center and also help some burdened citizens.
A very good parent telephoned me last week to tell me how
very impressed he is with music teacher Jim Ackley and his
Saturday Colt Basketball League. We talked over some of the
other good works this fine citizen carries on. I certainly agree
that our community is a better place because Jim Ackley
came here.
Our conversation led to words about the fact that too few
parents are willing to give their time and talents to work with
youth. We both felt grateful to the parents who are 4-H
leaders, who help with Scouting and Campfire Girls and
other youth groups.
Are your children looking forward to swynming pool days?
Are you aware that the Ron Forrar-led project to solar heat
the swimming water is much in need of more funds? Do you
realize that each summer many out-of-town folks come here
with their swim teams to spend time and money in this
community while they cheer for their teams?
Mr. Forrar has worked with young people on this project,
giving them instruction as they build together. It would be so
good if everyone able would see that the solar project gets
more financial backing soon before work gets underway
there again.
KUMA to visit on St.
Patrick's Day
The KUMA "Koffee Hour,"
a popular talk show that has
aired on KUMA, Pendleton for
nearly 27 years, will come to
Heppner on St. Patrick's Day,
March 17. Ted A. Smith,
manager of KUMA and host of
the program, made a casual
comment on last year's St.
, Patrick's Day program that
"we should go to Heppner
some year." Jim Farley,
owner of Farley Motors in
Heppner, heard the comment
and invited Smith to bring the
program to his showroom. The
program will originate from
Farley's business firm from 10
to 11 a.m. on March 17.
Bill Kilkenny of Pendleton,
a former Heppner resident,
will assist Smith with the
program and Farley is lining
up many local Heppner area
Irishmen to also take part.
Another feature of the pro
gram will be tape-recorded
songs by the late Joe Doherty ,
formerly of Pilot Rock and
Pendleton.
