Local veterans and their
families can take advantage
of free veterans' benefits
counseling and claim filing
assistance when a field ser
vice unit of the nonprofit
Disable American Veterans
(DAV) visits Hermiston on
announced
kesperson. The
office-equipped van.
manned by a highly trained
veterans' benefits expert will
be located at Civic Recreation
Center. These field service
units are generally open from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the spokes
person said.
Due to several changes in
veterans" entitlements during
the past year, DAV officials
expect a large turnout of
veterans and their families
this year as the organization's
mobile service offices visit
communities from coast to
coast for the ninth straight
year.
"People are going to have
questions," explained DAV
National Service Director
Arihur H. Wilson. i-The DAV
wants to make sure veterans
and their families get straight
answers from experts who are
on their side - who are inde
pendent of any government
agency. This is particularly
important at a time when the
government is trying to cut
back spending."
Veterans need not be mem
bers of the DAV to take
advantage of this free service.
The project is an ex tension
of the 62-year-old organisa
tion "s National Service Pro
gram, which provides a var
iety of assistance nt no cost to
veterans and their families.
Under this program, the as
sociation of wartime disabled
veterans employs some 3(H)
full-time national service of
ficers - more than 90 percent
f whom wore disabled during
the Vietnam War -- at VA
facilities across the country.
The DAV reminds any vet
eran or family member who
visits the van to bring the
veteran's VA claim number, if
available, and Social Security
number. These are needed for
the purpose of filing claims,
the spokesperson concluded.

For the month beginning
Sept. 15 and ending Oct. 15,
Heppner 's Yard of the Month
- this year's final selection -is
located at 245 West Balti
more surrounding the home of
Ernest and Roberta Garrison.
What a colorful variety of
flowers and fruits and vege
tables they have on their 110
by 67 foot lot.
Many folks might not re
cognize or be able to give
names to the many plants
thriving there, including vivid
zinnias, dwarf and large mari
golds, huge white and colored
dahlias and roses. The yard is
also colored with petunias,
cannas. gladioli, sweetpeas,
snapdragons, chrysanthe
mum, summer crocus, and a
great clump of goldenrod. Of
course the spring and early
summer flowers are gone, yet
the greenery of the violets, iris
and peonies still lingers.
Toward the back of the
attractive home the food
plants become visible: toma
toes, grapes, parsnips, apples
and berries. Ernie says they
have had fine beans, squash,
carrots, and beets. Earlier
they had lettuce and radishes.
The shrubbery around the
house is, in places, too mature
now. "Next year I hope to take
some of it out and have the
place looking different," Gar
rison says. He points out that
the purple clematis on the east
side of the house is now
blooming for the second time.
They have many other shrubs,
including lilacs, yew, various
cedars, wisteria, Oregon
grape and hawthorn.
Their perfectly shaped,
beautifully full blue spruce
tree, all 24 plus feet high, may
become a Christmas present
to the community. They plan
to offer it to the city for
display on Main Street. It is a
truly magnificient tree, but
has become too large for their
yard and too large for them to
keep pruned.
Ernest Garrison was i well
known builder in Heppner
from 1955 until about 1974
when he retired. Roberta de
signed the house they enjoy,
which was built where an old
three-story house formerly
stood, reusing some of the
material from the big. older
dwelling.
The Garrisons save the
seeds from their zinnias and
marigolds and replant them in
masses each succeeding year.
However, he says that he buys
new vegetable seeds each
year.
After viewing the Garrison
yard, one may come away
feeling elated about garden
ing, but feeling like their
achievement would not be at
all easy to match. The Hep
pner Garden Club and the
Chamber of Commerce con
gradulate them.

Edith Nichoson of lone has
returned to her home after

Memorial Hospital in Heppner.
