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.
