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.
