AROUND ABOUT By Justine Weatherford The first, sunny and warm week of our belated spring was surely a busy week for many. It was an especially pleasing week, weathcrwise, for the multitude of visitors who were bused to Heppner, such as the visiting eighth graders from East Multnomah County and the traveling musicians from Caldwell High School. At Tuesday's Chamber of Commerce lunch-meeting In Heppner, members were treated to a showing of the film "The Working Cowboy" which was one of the special items obtained for the visiting "West-of-the-Cascades" eighth graders. This colorful look at the life of cowboys features the guitar-playing veterinarian Baxter Black who was the featured speaker at the Farm-City Banquet here last November. Black acts and provides the music and narration In the film. The bottom-line of the film seems to be "As long as people like hamburger there will be cows, and as long as there are cows there will be cowboys." The film's background showed acres of sagebrush-covered hills and many farm scenes with very familiar looks. John Nordheim projected the film for the Extension staff. I checked with Claudia Hughes of the Extension office to see if the film was still available here. Claudia said it has been sent back now. Too bad, everyone connected with our cattle culture would surely enjoy viewing It. The Caldwell High School concert here on Thursday was such a treat. How well behaved and talented these students appeared, and how beautifully they performed. So sad that lots of folks missed that excellent program. On Friday three carloads of lady gardeners drove south across our Blue Mountains and into the sparkling John Day Valley, and then turned eastward to Prairie City to attend the spring meeting of District 10 of the Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs. All but two members of the lone Garden Club made the trip, but only three members from the Heppner club went. 1 really enjoyed the day. Theta Lowe, Julia Hill and I left town by 6 :30 a m . and got to Prairie City just before the call to-order at 10 a.m. This was my first trip east of John Day, and I am most favorably impressed by Prairie City. The district meeting was held in the large high school which is located rather close to the new city park that is built around the old depot used by the Sumpter Valley Railroad. As this gathering of gardeners happened to fall on arbor Day, the assembly donated and planted a good-sized, double-red, flowering Hawthorne tree in the park, near the depot before the gardeners departed for their various home locations. After the tree planting, we three decided to make a tipp at Sandi and Mark Murray's drug store on the Main Street of this mountain-viewing town. The Murrays were pleased to have visitors from their "old home" which included most of the lone ladies, too, who came Into the store just after we three arrived there. The spacious store faces the lovely snow -decora ted ring of mountains. Theta Lowe made plans for us to stop at her sister Sally Herburger's ranch home near Dayville as we came westward. We had such a nice visit admiring Sally's quilts.cating some of one of her super chocolate pies and chatting with three members of Theta 's family. I've learned that the Maryhill Museum visit that the A.A U.W. made on Saturday was most educational and pleasurable. It was good I cancelled out of that trip, because I guess I talked so much on Friday that by Saturday morning I had developed that bad throad condition that is going around. It is so exciting each spring to begin to eat home-grown food. I have had a good cooking from ray rhubarb patch and have shared some of my crop with friends. Now I am ready to begin harvesting asparagus from my small bed. Bouaphet has quite a few interesting seeds tucked in our back garden, and I am happily watching the raspberry plants leafout in eager anticipation of a good crop from them in a few months. This week I see my schedule includes about four meetings, the plant sale at lone on Thursday, the Soroptimist girl-sraduates and mothers luncheon that noon, and a few other activities. We all hope that this sunny weather makes a long stay in our area.
