Around About
By Justine Weatlwrford
Now we're in November. Becauc election day in the U.S.
is set on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of this
month, this ytqr it fell as early as it is possible. Working
folks, and maybe some students, find this month rather
dismaying it holds five, maybe, blue Mondays.-
Historically this month was the ninth month. Novem is the
Latin word for nine. My source book says the Romans
changed that when they inserted July, named for Julius
Caesar and August honoring Augustus Caesar. "The Roman
Senate offered to name the 11th month for Tiberius Caesar,
but he refused modestly, saying 'What will you do if you have
thirteen emperors?"'
It interests me to read that the Anglo-Saxons referred to
November as "the blood month" becuase during this time
they killed animals for their winter meat. In our part of the
world hopeful hunters are still trying to capture winter meat.
The last week of the 10th month was busy time in south
Morrow Co. I didn't take in all the week's activities, but can
report that I found those I did attend very pleasing. The
Monday open meeting arranged by AAUW was very
informative. The film "The Last Epidemic, Medical
Consequences of Nuclear War" was positively frightening.
The evening's speaker, engineer Stephen Donnell, La
Grande, gave an excellent presentation and led an active
discussion period. The women who arranged the affair
concerning Ballot Measure 5 on the Mutual Freeze of Nuclear
Weapon Development again offered this community an
educational opportunity to which not too many folks
responded.
The next day I really dashed about. There was Chamber of
Commerce at noon, Bookworms at Sadie Parish's home
during the afternoon, the usual Bible Study from 7 to 8 p.m.
and then a special visit to the Guest Night of the Degree of
Honor Lodge after 8 p.m. There are not many days when I
can manage four activities.
At the Chamber of Commerce meeting, after brief reports
from various committee chairmen, President Bob Harris
opened discussion aboaut ideas that could stimulate tourism
in this area. The llcppner Economic Development Commit
tee is working toward stimulating business growth. It is
becoming evident that tourism is big business and that its
encouragement can mean much to the liveliness of any
community. Harris was suggesting that this area might
really promote certain winter sports. Many families really
enjoy snow weekends, some actually prefer winter fun to the
usual warm, crowded summer vacation time.
Our nearby Blue Mountains and some of our ranch areas,
too, afford fine places for snowmobiling, for cross country
skiing and for tobogganing and other sledding. None of
these activities demand great, expensive Installations like
chairlifts, etc. Perhaps if some diligent promotional work
can be done, if many community organizations will work
together, ours might become a really busy area from
November to March. We are hearing reports that before Nov.
1 there was quite an accumulation of snow up in the higher
places of our south county.
We are recalling the excellent planning and promotion that
Jim Farley did last March when he brought a large, happy
crowd of real and pretend Irishmen together here for a very
fine St. Patrick's Day celebration. Checking ahead I note that
St. Pat's Day next year is on s Thursday and in 19M if falls on
Saturday. I surely hope that Jimmy will keep up his eood
promotion of this area's great Irish heritage. Maybe he can
help promote winter activities for families, too.
At the Bookworms meeting. Lorena Jones presented an
excellent review of "And I Alone Survived" by Lauren Elder.
After the revue, Sadie Parrish displayed the fascinating,
historical scrapbook which her dear friend Lets Humphrey
Thomas has put together about the life and work of her
father, Thomas J. Humphrey. Mr. Humphrey came to
Heppner In 1898 to work as a pharmacist at the Sloe urn Drug
Co., who bought the store in 1918 and who died in 1947 when
Leta, also a pharmacist, took over the store and operated it
until she sold to the Murrays. Leta asked Sadie to bring the
scrapbook here to present it to the county museum. The
presentation will be made in the near future, and I hope that
at that time we can write more details about the contents of
this remarkable, historic collection which Leta carefully
preserved and mounted.
Wednesday noon, along with about 60 other senior citizens,
I enjoyed the nutritious meal and the delightful entertain
ment presented at the fairgrounds annex. Anna Mae
Steagall, the fine entertainment chairman, arranged for a
large costumed group of kindergarten visitors to come and
sing. These children, accompanied by their parents, some of
whom brought along younger children, too, made a special
effort to get into costumes and makeup and to appear during
the noon hour with their much-loved teacher Cherry Webber.
The children's act was followed by a great group of musical
numbers by our former postmaster, Hubert Wilson, playing
his guitar and his wife, Faye, playing her accordian and
blending their pleasing voices. Some of us enjoyed their
selections so much we wonder if they will be selling records.
We expect that duo to become very busy entertainers
throughout northentral Oregon like they were last winter at
Vuma, Arizona, where Faye told me they performed five
nights every week. Faye's lady's piano-accordian is forty
years old and Hubert's antique guitar is a special, now
discontinued, model.
On last Thursday afternoon I Joined more than 60 other
over-50-year-olds at the Halloween party at the Neighbor
hood Center. The three green-faced witches who stirred ud
that affair were excellent hostesses and a very good time
was had by all who attended.
By Friday I needed more time at home and was glad I had
managed to give my lawn what I hope is its last mowing for
this year. Many folks enjoyed some weekend visiting with the
Rev. Mel and Nancy Dixon who were guests of Ida Farra
while Mel did his elk hunting. Sunday evening I enjoyed the
trick -or-treaters who came to my door. Some of them again
told me that Halloween is their favorite annual holiday. Some
of them appeared just when I was glued to my TV watching
"60 Minutes" and being especially fascinated by reporter Ed
Bradley's pictures and interviews with the followers of
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and some more standard citizens
of Antelope.
How dandy November's first morning started weather
wise. It was so sunshiny-bright Monday that maybe the five
blue-Mondays won't amount to much. We are told that the
day's weather affects the voter turnout for elections which
we feel is a feeble excuse for anyone who didn't get to the
polls and discharge his responsibility and duty there.
