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.
