Around About By Juuine Weatherfortl An exciting wiwkcnd ended February here. The Elks Annuhl celbratlon drew hundreds who enjoyed participating in the activities arranged by the Heppner lodge committees. Quite a few loyal MuHtang sports fans had to forego the crab, shrimp and roast beef dinner to rush to the Heppner-Pilot Rock game In Pendleton, which was disappointing to them as Pilot hock moves on Into further competition as no. one with Heppner going on as no. two. This Monday the month which was the first month called Martius on the old Roman calendar began as our third month because Caesar's Julian Calendar really changed things around. It did not change the number of days however, as March has always had 31. Named In honor of Mars, the Roman god of war, this month sees winter end and spring officiully begin with the vernal equinox on its 21st day. There is no national holiday this month, but In Heppner and other places too, St. Patrick's Day Is especially celebrated. In our northern hemisphere many animals and plants awuken this month. Sap flows in the trees and green buds begin to appear. Most frogs lay their eggs and hibernating creatures leave their winter slet'p. Outstanding March events here include the Rawlins-dlrect-ed Heppner High play "The Great Big Doorstep" on Tucs., Mur. 2 and Thurs., Mar. 4, the Chamber of Commerce Banquet on March B, the Farley showroom radio broadcast followed by breakfust at the Elks Lodge on the 17th, St. Putriek's Altar Society's annual Irish Stew Dinner that night at St. Putriek's Parish Hall. I hud my first visit with a returned Heppnerite, Lloyd Burkcnbine, who has now settled (or resettled) here. He stopped by to chat when I was cleaning up after the tree trimming around my home. He hud Intersting things to say about changes in Heppner and suggested that many residents now are not fumiliur with city ordinances. He suggested that these might be reviewed In print - and I agree that this would in' worthwhile. It is alwuys good to get a frsh new telephone book to replace the well-worn, slightly torn old one. As I compared the old and new books, I noted several changes. Those expensive, colored pages of advertising and information between the yellow pages and the Hermiston, Milton Freewatcr, etc. sections have been dropped. It is good to find the zip codes for nearby communities and the fine 1776 to 2000 calendars loading Into the first yellow-page section. Lust year's directory included many wives' names after their husband's nomes - this year even more couples are listing both their names. The new orange and brown, rural scene on the book's front cover pleases me - it appears to be an east-of-the-Cuscades picture. Along with winter -sleeping animals and plants, people of this community must come out of hibernation and get swinging along to the events availuble this month. Keep coming to the senior meals, you mature folks; go to the High School pluy, to basketball gumes, to the Chamber of Commerce banquet and be reudy to don your best green clothes on March 17 and tuke in the several great Irish events tluit saint's day.
