i psii P" P" P I AROUND ABOUT Justine Weatherford ImM Sunday morning when I answered my phone I wag greeted with "Merry Christmas!" Soon I got out my old winter coat to go to church where we were told that although the morninR wemed like Christmas, Easter wai expected to arrive noon and dure enough, before the service ended the snow hud disappeared and Heppner again looked springlike. Last week was different and special. Because Jt was spring vacation for school pupils and teachers, It gave many folks the opportunity to do a little traveling. The weather was so nice when I drove to Hermiston, Stanficld and Echo on Thursday with Bouapeth and Irene Swanson. We three really enjoyed visiting at the Dennis Doherty home, Bouapeth had helped Anne with the house and the first three children before little Tess was born - while the family was still living In Piper Canyon near Lexington. It was so good to talk with Anne, to tour the ample, attractive Doherty domicile on S.W. 9th Place and to see the fast-developing four young members of the family. After lunch, we drove put through Stanfield where Irene and I were surprised to see so many new homes and such a growth in that community. Then we swung through Echo where there seems to be less change. We stopped at the historic, little Catholic Church west of the Umatilla River, but could not get into the building which is only open now for Suturduy evening mass, we were told by an Echo man. The museum in the great, old bank building was closed, also. Although my Thursday drive was the first "big" trip out of Heppner since my Christmas trip to my daughter's home at Cheney, 1 really got around the world vicariously last week. On Wednesday, along with Bookworm and Topic Club members. I went to India via the excellent slides that Helen Murtin projected, I was especially delighted by the many street scenes, by the rural views and by the super pictures of the Taj Mahal, one of the world's most beautiful and costly tombs which is at Agra In northern India, Here are a few facts about this suwrb, white marble structure. It took 20,000 workmen to build It between the years 1G23 and 1653. It rests on an eight -sided platform of red sandstone, each side is 130 feet long and at each corner there stands a slender minaret (prayer tower), each of which is 133 feet high. The building's renter dome is 120 feet high and 70 feet in diameter. Passages from the Moslem holy book, the Koran, decorate the outside of the building . Inside the central room are two cenotaphs (monuments) which visitors view through a screen of carved alabaster. These cenotaphs contain the bodies of the Indian ruler Shah Jahan and his favorite wife. In whose memory he had the building constructed. Outside the building there are large reflecting pools which add much to the granduer of the shrine. Because I was so delighted with the Martin pictures from India. I persuaded several friends to accompany me to lone anum on Friday evening to see the pictures of Cuba which the Martins showed and which Fred narrated These pictures were taken just at the ending of 19S1 and the beginning of this year They show a very attractive Havanna, other areas and seemingly satisfied Cuban people... Now I (eel that Cuba would be a good place to visit - before 1 viewed the pictures. I would have feared going to Cuba because of the strong U S feeling against Communism. The pictures of the long and lovely seawall area were so U autiful,' as were the shots of the mall or promenade through the center of the city. There were many attractive older buildings in sectors along with areas where newer huildmgspredominated. The views of a home for senior citizens were very impressive. Fred Martin remarked "Many Cubans generally appear to be better off now than they were under the Baptista government." list weekend's events which I found most thrilling were the election in HI Salvador and the NCAA basketball finals. The Sakadorian elections showed thousands of citizens walking many kilometers through jungles, over mountains and sometimes through gunarrying rebel forces, to stand in line for hours to cast their votes. When I think of the poor percentage of American voters, I am ashamed that my own fellow citizens often just can't be bothered to register and to turn out to vole Being an old OSC Beaver, I am pleased that thej Georgetown lioyas, which had eliminated OSU, are now the national champions It intrigues me to note that this great team is symbolized by the Hoy a, a wax-like plant. Do you know of many other teams that have chosen symbols from flora instead of fauna? I am recalling the Tall Timbers from Kugeneof years past, but just can't, right now, come up with other plant type team names. When I began writing this column on Monday morning I was convinced that Georgetown was about invincible. Then on Monday night I sat on the edge of my chair watching the lead change Hi tunes as veteran coach Dean Smith and his North Carolina Tar Heels earned a hard fought, last-minute w in of 63 (2 while Georgetown's freshman star Ewlng scored 23 points and North Carolina's great Worthy proved he was most worthy with a personal record of 28 points.. I am so glad that I watched that see-sawing game; however, I believe I am now a Georgetown Hoya fan, and if O S V. doesn't win the national NCAA championship in 1983. I'd like to see the Hoyas take it. This is liemg written Tuesday and I have had the thrill of view ing the beautiful return to earth of the space shuttle Columbia. I keep marveling that I can see these wonderful, exciting, historic events right in my livingroom in Heppner. Mow wonderful!
