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.
