, "H"-- FOUR-Th Hfppner Gaiette-Tlmw, Hrppncr, Oregon. Thursday, July , 1982 Around About By Justine Weatherford What a relief it was to return home on Sunday evening after another weekend trip to Portland. It seems I happen to schedule these trips for some of the year's hottest days. This last weekend I turned granddaughter, Anita Haberlach, over to her maternal grandparents, the Ira Brins of Vancouver, Wash., after her week's visit with me. Now I have attended two 50th reunion with U.S. Grant High School classmates. The two celebrations happened for my January 1932 class because we were invited to join the slow-poke June 1931 class at their reunion late in June, and then were also invited to join the June 1932 class last weekend. Portland high schools stopped having midyear graduations some time after 1932. I found 50th reunions to be bitter-sweet affairs. Quite a few members of the classes of 50 years ago were World War II casualities, and, of course, others were lost in other ways. Yet it was great to visit with the many survivors, the majority of whom I have not seen for about a half century. I hear that the Sidewalk Sale here was well attended. I always look forward to that Saturday, summertime event and was sorry to miss it this year. I am also hearing that the Bob Hope show with the Oregon Singers was very good on Saturday night in Pendleton. As you know, The Dalles often has the highest temperature of any spot in Oregon. Because Jack Loyd, my closest neighbor, is now hospitalized at The Dalles General Hospital, Bouapeth and I stopped to visit Jack twice. Bouapeth is very fond of Jack who has been one of her tutors this summer along with Joy Krien. Jack is in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital. We felt very concerned about him. We understand that he was scheduled to have further surgery yesterday, Wednesday. Jack's priest, Father Ed Watts, also visited Jack on Sunday. Not all hospital stays are distressing. Amanda Duvall celebrated her 90th birthday at Pioneer Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, July 20. The hospital staff prepared a nice birthday cake and arranged a party for her. Many friends stopped in and many, many more sent flowers and greeting cards to her. Amanda is not actually ill but needed a hospital stay while her home helper, Lillian, was away from Heppner . Amanda declared that her 90th birthday "was the best birthday yet!" Those of this community, to which she has genorously given so much, surely felt pleased to see her having a Happy Birthday. When I was in Portland it was good to stay in the home of my brother and sister-in-law, Don and Marie Peake, who also had two of their three daughters, their son Charles and their only grandchild there. We all attended the Rose City Presbyterian Church together where I was delighted to still be remembered by a few long-time friends. I was taken to that church by my parents when I was less than two years old and attended regularly with my family until marriage took me from Portland. Bouapeth stayed in the Northeast Portland home of a group of Southeast Asian refugees whom she and her family knew in a big refugee camp in Thailand. She had a fine weekend, too. There was a big gathering of Asians on Saturday night. Bouapeth was taken to four different Asian markets in Portland and was able to buy native foods which we brought home to Heppner. While the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court is so busy traveling about and making friends for themselves and for all of our area, folks here are preparing the fairgrounds and doing lots of thinking and planning for the big show which will happen soon. One of the new attractions I am most eager to visit is the small pioneer cabin which historian and collector "Shorty" Peck has installed on the fairgrounds. I was a little surprised that it is not located near Shorty's museum, but I agree that it is situated in a more accessable and attractive location than the far-cornered museum building. Both of these Peck contributions are surely worth visiting. So everyone should be making ready exhibits for this year's fair. The County Fair is one single event that draws all the citizens of the various parts of the far-flung county together. However, no fair is very outstanding if folks don't really participate. We all need to prepare exhibits and to attend as many days and evenings as we can. Each year there are special events and interesting contests that can only succeed if people come, enter the contests and participate in the special events. Because of my recent visit I now read with special interest all items pertaining to Alaska. Maybe you noticed a table in "U.S. News and World Report" telling where Americans over age 65 live. It shows the percent of the over 65 population of each .state. Florida has 17.3 percent; Oregon 11.9 and Alaska only 2.9. The new census reports "the elderly make up a record 11.4 percent of the population of the U.S." Collage "giueing"-wa introduced to easel painting by Picasso in 1912 as a way of incorporating the embiemi of ordinary modern life into the abstract world of Cubism.

Three local girls attending Oregon Business Week at WOSC Three hundred high school students,including three local girls,and sixty teachers from throughout Oregon are going to college this week. July 25 -31, to learn about the real world of business. Students and teachers are scholarship recipients enrol led in the third-annual Oregon Business Week program at Western Oregon State College in Monmouth, 14 miles south west of Salem. Darla Anglin and Sharon Crowell of lone High School and Linda Englert of lone High School are attending the program. The group converged on the WOSC campus Sunday, July 25, were welcomed by Gov. Vic Atiyeh and plunged into a week-long intensive course of study designed to provide them with knowledge about the American economic sys tem and their future in it. The event is conducted through auspices of Associat ed Oregon Industries, the State Department of Educa tion, Oregon Council on Econ omic Education and WOSC. Chairing the event js Rich ard D. Reiten, Nicolai Co., Portland, who heads a steer ing committee responsible for curriculum development, fac ulty recruitment and funding. Campus coordinator is Dr. George Wyatt, WOSC profes sor of economics. "Our economic system is perhaps the most complex in the world." Reiten said. "It depends on well-informed con sumers, labor, government and business leaders. The more our people know about it, the better they can make it work for them. "In one week's time Busi ness Week offers students and teachers more understanding of the business than many people learn in a lifetime." More than 150 business leaders from the smallest to the largest business firms in the state deliver lectures, con duct seminars and discussions with students-teacher groups. Students and teachers are assigned to company groups, each of which is counseled throughout the week by a volunteer on-campus business advisor. During the week each company chooses a product to produce and market or a service to provide to the con suming public. They organize firms and compete among themselves for profitability through a simulated comput erized management game. "This management game is a hands-on learning exper ience that becomes more sophisticated daily as partici pants leam more about the system and what makes it tick," explained Reiten. Students and teachers at tending Business Week are selected for expense-paid scholarships from among hun dreds who apply each year to their high school principals. Local committees select scholarship recipients and scholarships are provided by interested Oregon firms, or ganizations and individuals. At the week's mid-point stu dents and teachers tour Wil lamette Valley businesses and manufacturing firms. While the curriculum sche dule is demanding, recreation al facilities of the college are open each afternoon, evenings feature movies and dances. Graduation ceremonies cli max the week on Friday even ing and the commencement speaker will be Philip N. Bladine, chairman of the Ore gon Economic Development Commission.
