Around About
By Justine Weatherford
Big, pre-hunting, full activity weekends took place In
Heppner, Arlington and Weston and probably In other
huntinR area communities, too, over September 25 and 26. We
know that Weston and Heppner are decorated with flowers as
they welcomed guests, In Heppner the many pots of yellow,
gold and orange flowers were placed at Intersections to help
guide members of the garden clubs who came here Saturday
to the Fall District Meeting at St. Patrick's Parish Hall.
The four events that pleased me very much last week
began on Tuesday, Sept. 21, at the Chamber of Commerce
meeting. That noon I traveled vicariously to Ireland as our
county school superintendent, Matthew Doherty, showed
lovely colored slides and told about the three weeks he and
Mrs. Poherty had on the Emerald Isle this last summer. Mrs.
Ernest Garrison, co-winner of the Yard-of-the-Month Award,
who was an honored guest at the luncheon, was also delighted
with the Doherty presentation.
The projected pictures Included street scenes In Limerick
and Dublin and lovely landscape pictures of fields,
hedgerows, lakes, mountains and the seashore. Doherty has
pictures of his mother's early home, of family graves and of
business establishments bearing familiar names. He brought
home pictures showing Brosnan, Healy, Farley and other
Morrow-connected properties. He included a choice shot
Bhowlng a business owned by a Doherty himself.
We were told that Ireland's population is smaller than that
of New York City, and that it didn't take long to learn to drive
on the left side of the street. The school superintendent
couldn't resist a picture of a modern-looking, brick school
building that looks Just like many in this country. He also
showed farm homes and cottages with thatched roofs and
said that there is a difficulty getting thatching replaced by
competent thatchers these days.
During their twenty-one day visitation the Dohertys and
friends drove around most all of Ireland, excepting the six
English-controlled counties of Northern Ireland. Many of his
slidi-s are in County Donegal where he took lovely views of
the rugged landscape and seacoast. He said that the two
couples stayed in bread and breakfast rooms in nice private
homes and that they were delighted with these accommoda
tions, the best of which cost only 110.
One picture shows our superintendent flat on his back
under the famous block of limestone in Blarney Castle near
Cork. Legend says the owner of this castle once used
promises and flattery to save his castle from attackers, and
the notion grew that a person who would kiss this Blarney
Stone would be given the power of sweet, persuasive,
wheedling eloquence. So, from now on if Matt Doherty
out-maneuvers anyone with sweet persuasion, it must be
recalled that he recently kissed that Blarney Stone.
The second outstanding event of my week was Saturday's
Fail District Meeting of Garden Clubs. St. Patrick's parish
hall looked like a lovely, luxurious, large clubroom with the
artfully arranged and beautifully decorated tables and many
superb floral arrangements on display.
Many who came were tremendously impressed with what
they found. They were thrilled with the day's events,
particularly with the two special workshops conducted by Dr.
Wolff and by Bill Rawlins. Few garden clubs have two such
talented, experienced, thoroughly knowledgeable and wil-ling-to-share,
gentlemen members.
Between the adjournment of the meeting at St. Patrick's
and the rush of moving out and cleaning up the premises, Ida
Farra and I slipped away for a very short visit to the very
nice oth Birthday party for Margaret Healy in the Gentery
home.
Daughters Pat Gentry, Kay Burchell, Lib Daggett and son
Francis (Pat) Healy and their children and other family
members and many friends from her community are so
proud of Maggie Healy as a fine mother, a wonderful
grandmother and an excellent citizen.
As I was enjoying a piece of birthday cake. I looked across
the room to where Maggie Healy and Marvel Jones were
seated together on the davenport. These two past-ninety
women know so much history, have been through numerous
ups and downs, and have contributed so much through their
living and motherhood to this and other communities. It
flashed through my mind that advertiiers glorify young,
glamorous, inexperienced females when there sat two really
beautiful, very mature women whose long lives prove their
inner beauty and strength of character.
The fourth special event I enjoyed was the 1982 annual
meeting of the Morrow County Historical Society in the
Lexington Grange on Sunday afternoon. This affair began
with a great turkey dinner. About 75 persons learned more
about what this society has done and hopes to do.
As I drove to the grange hall, I had my first look at the high
water damage in the vicinity. So sad. Such ditches, such a
movement of top soil!
At the meeting, Harold Peck told of acquiring, moving and
installing the little, old log cabin at the fairgrounds and of the
growth of the museum there. Sylvia McDaniel presented her
oil painting of the county courthouse which was accepted
with thanks and with the promise it will hang inside the
building it portrays. Four county farms will soon be honored
with the designation "Century Farm." The Jerry Brosnan,
Michael Kenney, Paul Rietmann and Albert Wright holdings
have been under the same families for 100 years now.
Volume I of the Morrow County Chronicles, an annual
publication of the county society, was Introduced and put on
gale. This 60-page booklet's purpose "is to gather little-known
stories of Morrow County, as well as to reprint stories of
interest." Lucille Peck, chairman of the publication commit
tee, did a great Job putting together the more than 20 articles
submitted by county writers. The booklets, selling for $3, can
be obtained in each county community.
Various historical committees reported on-going projects.
A group of musical selections by Uie Good News Singers of
Umatilla and Irrigon was enjoyed. The singers are two
couples with blending voices who are accompanied by a
pianist and two guitarists. Final musical numbers enjoyed
were by the popular lone violinist Frances Smouse.
After dismissal by Society President Delpha Jones, folks
stayed to visit, to appreciate the special exhibit arranged by
Harold Peck and to view the courthouse painting. Many
declared how much they had enjoyed the dinner, business
meeting and program.
