Around About
By Justine Weattierfora
What a busy week this has been for persona involved with
the Morrow County Fair and Rodeo. For many their
busyness began weeks ago. Most of these hard-working folks
are volunteers who reli' believe In this county and In the
organizations to which they belong, and they especially
believe in trying to help younger citizens to understand
volunteerism and community participation projects.
As I've asked several youngsters what they like about the
county fair - I've felt quite disappointed to have them tell
me that the carnival Is the only thing they really care about.
They have said "I won't go unless there Is a carnival." How
sad to think that this bringing together of the wide variety of
growing things, of an amazing collection of craftwork, and
lovely examples of skills in many types of arts should be
subordinated by many to the few days and evening's
appearance of carnival rides.
However, year after year, a faithful group of fair
supporters keeps on working under the leadership of the fair
board and staff and the Fair and Rodeo Committee
members. All who exhibit deserve blue ribbons - afterall,
without exhibitors there would be no fair.
Last weekend, the 4 H Horseshow and the Open Class
Horseshow kept many busy as they watched, officiated or
performed on their animals. Saturday and Sunday saw
rather feverish activltiy inside the fair buildings as final
Recreation Report
The Umatilla National
Forest office, Pendleton, has
released the following Recrea
tion Report:
lleppner Ranger DUtrlct
Road paving at Bull Prairie
Campground has been com
pleted and the campground is
now open. Water is still not
available as the new water
system is not completed.
Water is available at
Fairview, located three
miles west on Highway 207.
Catching of legal
size fish has been slow at both
Bull Prairie and Penland
Lakes. The woods are dry.
Please be careful with camp
fires. Woodcutters need to
carry a shovel and fire extin
guisher for each saw in use.
Smokey has been seen recent
ly at Bull Prairie Camp
ground. Has anyone seen
Woodsy Owl near Penland
Lake?
Dale Ranger District
All roads on the district are
opened and maintained. All
trails are open and Granite
Creek and North Fork John
Day River trails are maintain
ed. The open campgrounds
include: North Fork John Day
River, Olive Lake and Toll
Bridge. There is no drinking
water available and services
are reduced at these areas.
The roads at North Fork John
Day River Campground are
now repaired. The fishing is
fair to good In the rivers and
streams and fair to poor at
Olive Lake. Huckleberries are
ripe with a heavy crop. Fire
danger is high.
Pomeroy Ranger District
Trails are open and main
tenance continues to be done.
All main roads are open.
Fishing has been fairly good in
all streams. The cooler
weather has contributed to
this. Huckleberries are ripe
and plentiful on the district.
Although the berries are
small, the picking is good. The
fire danger has been high and
low, depending on the weather
conditions. At the present time
it is low. The Pomeroy Ranger
District office open seven days
a week. Monday through Fri
day, office hours are 7:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and
Sunday the hours are 9 a.m. to
6p.m. The office is open seven
days a week from the middle
of May until the middle of
November, after elk season is
over.
I'kiah Ranger District
Huckleberries are ripening
in most areas of the distict.
The best reported success has
been In the vicinity of Tower
Mountain. All campgrounds
are open on a self-service
basis. Fire danger is moder
ate due to the continuing cool
weather and periodic rains. A
week of hot, dry days could
raise the fire danger to the
high category. Fish habitat
improvement work on the
North Fork John Day River
was expected to start on Fri
day, August 20 or Monday the
23rd.
Walla Walla Ranger District
Storms passing through the
area earlier last week scatter
ed minimal amounts of precip
itation across the Umatilla
National Forest. Fire man
agement personnel wish to
remind visitors to the forest
that Are danger still exists.
We would like to emphasize
the need for everyone to be
sure campfires are put out
cold. Woodcutters: the fire
protection class to this date is
B. Class B day requires fire
equipment plus you must stay
in your woodcutting area for
at least one hour after the
powersaw has been shut off in
order to watch in case a fire
starts. Now is the perfect time
to take a weekend trip to one
of the districts campgrounds.
The Walla Walla District has
several primitive camp
grounds. These campgrounds
offer relaxation and a chance
to get away from It all. Best of
all, the price is just right.
Primitive campgrounds are
free. It is asked that campers
respect fellow campers' pri
vacy and that garbage be
packed home for disposal. For
more information and map
locations of these camp
grounds, stop by the office at
1415 W. Rose Street. We are
open Monday through Friday
from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

preparations were being made, as community booths were
put together and as entries were received by all depart
ments. The commercial booths were also set in place.
On Monday, livestock was still being accepted, and judging
of most of the entries took place. That evening the style
revue, as always, drew an attentive and appreciative crowd.
Tuesday was a special day with several special contests
Ukiiig place before the evening's Family Fun Nitc with its

Saturday noon following the parade, the annual luncheon

at the Elks Lodge diningroom. Mary Ann Palmer, official
chaperone for our court and pennant bearers and mother of
Morrow's queen, has managed the luncheon of 50 to 60
persons for several years now. She says that the parents of
the Morrow court and of their pennant bearers are invited
along with visiting royalty and their chaperones. .
Last week's Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Hager
Park was unusually pleasing. Heppner Bowl's Doug Smith
catered a great assortment of sandwiches, potato salad,
relishes, and coid drinks In-fore the group was moved in a
school bus to the dam for an excellent tour of the rising

In my previous column I revealed that I was happily tired
after having three small grandchildren visit ine In mv home.
Just after I wrote that, I chatted with my neighbors Bob and
Lorena Shuman and leurned that they had recently taken
nine of their eleven grandchildren camping for four nights in
thp Ukih-rHle firea. They had six granddaughters sleeping
in their trailer with them and three grandsons sleeping
closeby in a tent. Bob said they consumed lots of food, "The
kids really enjoyed wieners and marshmallows," he said.
The Shuman grandparents, who had promised their grand-

nerve to do it."
Where, oh where, has summer gone so quickly? Just one
