The Hfppner GaMtte-Time. Ileppner. Oregon, Thursday, August 5, 1982-TIIREE Around About liy Justine Weatlwrfora By now many of you may have read the summer Issue of the "OreRon Historical Quarterly ." It, of course, has several Interesting articles, but the one we here should appreciate especially was written by Luclle Urey Peck (Mrs. Ken), of Lexington. When I told her how much I enjoyed the short article and the good pictures, Lucile said that she had submitted the article three years ago and wf.s relieved that it was finally published. The story she retells concerns her father's work providing pond Ice to refrigerate rail cars. The facts were told to her by her mother, Gladys Orcutt Urey. It is fascinating, reading about work that ended 70 years ago. That "icy" story was good reading for one of our recent, extra warm days when most of us were low on energy and ready to be sedentary. Personally, I was glad not to be traveling along a highway where thermometers were reading over 100. Morrow County affords several great "cool off" areas. The one I visited last Saturday was Penldand Lake. I hadn't driven up there for over a year and was saddened by the sick-looking trees I saw, but I was happy to sit beside the cool lake, and blessed the persons who made It possible. Saturday evening when we got back to Main Street I couid see that many persons were gathering for their last evening with Jim Ackley and Friends. As fair and rodeo and the Saturday parade approach, I've been wondering if we will have to have a rather silent parade, like we have had several years - without Ackley to round up some band music; Perhaps some other music man or woman will come forth to see that the parade participants and viewers have music to be moved by. Traveling has become one of the greatest of commercial businesses in the last decade or so. When I was a child almost everyone worked a full six days per week. Because my father owned a small business he worked more than Just six days, and family travel was limited to Sunday afternoon drives and rare one-night visits to see family members within 100 miles of Portland. We almost never ate In restaurants or stayed in rented rooms. Now my children have been all over the world and are taking their children on trips, too. My teacher-mother made our short afternoon rides real learning experiences. How much more my grandchildren can learn as they look around the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and Mexico and Canada and plan to see even more distant lands. Perhaps you read that over 66,000 persons toured Alaska in mi and that up to twice that many are expected there this year.. Travel agencies contract several years in advance for boat space, for blocks of hotel rooms and for special interest tours. Travel all around the globe is a really big business. In Europe the summer traveler sees hundreds of tour buses constantly moving from one attraction to another. I understand that it is almost impossible for a neophyte, independent traveler to get around anymore. One wonders how so many people could be accomodated if great planning hadn't been done. A great many families now travel in motor coaches and trailers - and these "covered wagons" can be stowed by the scores of slick, huge ferries. Millions of folks fly everywhere a mode of travel undreamed of when I was small. A great many areas owe much to travel dollars. Last Sunday's "OreRoniari" tells, for example, that Ketchikan. Alaska, where many salmon canneries are now closed would really fade away except that "Now it's tourism that's keeping Ketchikan from sinking. ..this being the jumping-off spot for treks into the wilderness and the first stop for cruise ships plying the Inside Passage." Maybe you ar hearing about quite a few of your neighbors who are presently, or who will very soon be expecting to see Ketchican. Several weeks ago friends here were delighted to have a travel caravan made up of parts of the Rev. Ed Cutting family come visiting. Four different sub groups of Cuttings spent one night in four Ileppner homes. A goodly collection of three generations of the family were gathered with Heppner friends for a Friday night potluck at the basement of the United Methodist Church which the Cuttings had served from June 1969 until June 1976. The four carloads, which stopped in Heppner, were to Join at least one more from Oregon as they traveled to a campground in Montana where they would have a reunion and vacation with several more second and third generation family groups that were driving west from their home base in Minnesota. Craig Cutting, the only one of the family to attend school here, and his wife and their young daughter, were my houseguests. Craig enjoyed looking around town, and his wife was pleased to see the high school and other points of interest she has heard about. Craig, is now employed as a secretary by a highly-technical corporation in Portland. One of the persons Craig Cutting was pleased to visit with again was dramatic coach Jane Rawlins. He said being in several plays here provided him much pleasure. Mrs. Rawlins has given pleasure to many who have worked with her in productions and to many more who have viewed her and the students' efforts through the years. This week Jane is again taking a group of Heppner High students to Ashland to enjoy the Shakespearean plays. She has made arrangements for these Ashland trips for many years. The students who are able to go with her gain much from the outstanding productions in the several theaters in Ashland. They usually see many other educational and interesting things, too. Jane tells me that this year she plans to show them at least four state university campuses -Portland State. Oregon State, the University of Oregon and Southern Oregon University. She has made it possible for quite a few students to have their first views of Crater Lake on return trips from Ashland. This may be the first year that the tour group has had an over-night in Corvallis where the Rawlins' daughter, Carol Brewster, has invited them to visit In her home. This stop will make more campus visiting possible and will introduce the Heppner youngsters to more communities that they may never have visited. Not everyone believes in field trips and tours for students. I surely feel that much learning takes place during out-of-classroom expeditions. It is unfortunate that financial problems may cause some students to have to forego these exciting, mind-expanding experiences. We are thankful that our county school system has provided many tours for so many students for so many years.
