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!
