AROUND ABOUT By Justine Weatherford Last week when Frances P. Mitchell and I were coming home from our evening class at Lexington we could see a pinkish glow in the sky over Heppner and our imaginations were aroused by the possibil ity of a house fire. As we drove down the hill the glow seemed to move around and we were still puzzled until we located its cause - the big machines and lights of the swing-shift workers on the dam project. Neither of us had been aware until then that more than a day shift was working at the confluence of Willow Creek and Balm Fork. I just learned for the umpteenth time how silly it is to cross bridges before one reaches them. The schedule of events I wanted to attend looked overwhelming, but suddenly three major happenings have been crossed off my cluttered calendar. The genealogy class day in LaGrande has been reset for June 12, the high school production of "Fiddler on the Roof" has been called off until next school year, and the bird watchers camp out at Malheur which I looked forward to has been cancelled because so few persons signed up for it. So this week there are only four meetings, the Extension Trip to Portland and the big, annual, Methodist Church Saturday Lawn Sale. Next week hasn't had any cancella tions, however, and has had a few additional notations - oh well - we all know that May has to be extra busy. Last Sunday was a top day for me from my wake up long-distance call rather early from my older son, through special rememberances from each of my children and step children, a special church service, a delightful after church coffee, a rushed drive to the Pendleton Arts Festival, dinner with family and friends in Pendleton and finally an exhilerating two hours at a most excellent movie in Hermiston. The Arts Festival in Pendleton's Armory seems to grow more exciting each year. My stay there was much too brief to really see and hear its many delights. The music I heard by the Blue Jazz Singers of BMCC was lilting, the many crafts displays were outstanding, and of course, the paintings were lovely and interesting. I would liked to have spent much more time admiring each item, especially the quilts, the pottery, the weaving. I really rushed by Dr. Norene and Corky and their beautiful silver work. My brother-in-law Marion Weatherford was eager to have me carefully view a wheatfield painting by Gayle Elliott; I did not see the work displayed by Pauline Matheny or by our county agent Bob Costa. After a super Sunday dinner and some catchup visiting with the Arlington Weatherfords and their friends the Shanes, I took myself to Hermiston to see the winning movie "Chariots of Fire." Not even once every year do I view a really good movie. This British film is tops - I surely concur with the Academy Awards selection. Some folks do not enjoy the rather heavy English dialect and the delightful scenes at Cambridge University. Surely any viewer would be thrilled to sit in on the splendid reinactment of part of the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris. The Scotch portion of my heart beat fast with pride as I followed the tremendous Scotch lad in his scenes in Scotland and in Paris when he faced the governing committee and the Prince of Wales and said he would not run on Sunday. The whole film really delighted me - was absolutely "my cup of tea." This week several folks have been moaning about their early planting freezing during our still too cold nights. However, lilacs are opening everywhere, and to me, lilac time is one of the prettiest times in our country. I really am enjoying learning about Henry Padberg and his family. My own grandfather, Heinrich (Henry) Kleinsorge also left northern Germany to avoid military conscription and came across America to the west coast. He was not a farmer, however, but was a cabinet maker -preacher who ministered to German-Americans in both his native and his adopted languages. He and my grandmother, Justine (Hamm ) Kleinsorge, are buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery at Hollywood, California, along with many film greats of yesteryears. Last week I had a telephone call from Pearl Padberg Kruse, a grandaughter of Henry, who said she wanted to get more material about the family to me. Darrell and Alvina, who are working with the many members of their family on plans for the Pioneer Picnic, were going to Portland and thought they might visit his older sister, Pearl, and perhaps they will bring back the information. A3 graduation tJn approaches. Involved families feel special excitement. Graduations lead to reunions. One of my special excitements is planning to attend one or more of the 50th reunion celebrations built around graduation from U S. Grant High School in Portland in 1932. I'll surely be writing more about reunions later on.
