AROUND ABOUT
By Justine Weatherford
Last week when Frances P. Mitchell and I were
coming home from our evening clau 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 ben
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 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 Cayle 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 1 view a
really good movie. This British film is tops -1 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, liWcs 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 wiU bring back the information.
As raduation time 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. Ill surely be
writing more about reunions later on.
