Warmest
regards
To the editor:
I did so much appreciate
your coverage of the Veter
ans' Day Program. I really
enjoyed planning and present
ing the program for the
seniors at the mealsite. It was
meant to let our veterans
know how very much we love
and appreciate them, as our
feelings don't seem to surface
in our everyday life. It gave
me a good feeling to honor
these great men. I felt very
humble to have been a part of
that tribute.
If the program was just a
little bit successful, I received
my reward through the warm
friendly smiles of apprecia
tion from all the Veterans who
were present, seeing their
shoulders back in respect and
pride as they spoke of serving
their country.
It was very heartwarming
to honor the W.W.I veterans
whose poor health prevented
their attending. Legionnaire
Bob Blue and I went to the
home of Clarence and Hazel
Bauman and to the Pioneer
Nursing Home to honor Albert
Schunk and his wife, Flora.- "
I wish to thank the following "
people for their part in making
my program possible:
The American Legion for
their part in the program and
sharing the donation of the
beautiful flag pole and stand
to the Heppner Senior Meal
site; the Elks Lodge who also
shared the donation of the
flag, pole and stand; Cole's
Posy Patcy for donating bou
tonnieres for the occasion;
Les Schwab Tire Center for
sponsoring a display ad in
"Hutch's Helper"; Morrow
Co. Grain Growers for spon
soring a display ad in the
Gazette- Times; Bank of
Eastern Oregon, Heppner and
lone branches, for sponsoring
a donation to the American
Legion on behalf of the senior
Mealsite; the American Le
gion Post 87 and lone post 91
for donating the checks back
to the Mealsite; Ola Mae
Groshens for providing the
music; Linda Schultz of the
Legion Aux. for the clever
table decorations; the W.W. I
veterans for their special ef
fort to attend the program;
and to all the veterans who
came to support the program.
There were about 75 people
plus who took time away from
jobs and daily routines to
attend the dinner and pro
gram. I wish to thank each
and everyone of them very
much. Vou all are the
greatest!
On behalf of the Heppner
Senior Mealsite and myself, I
sent to you our warmest
regards.
Sincerely, and with a smile

Sad to hear
To the editor:
It is sad to hear the newt
that Heppner will no longer be
an agency station on the Union
Pacific.
I am sure the "Young old
timers" in Morrow County
will remember when two
colorful individuals reigned
supereme at the old Heppner
freight and passenger depot.
Back in history over 50 years
ago.
Referring, of course, to Chet
Darbee and Gay Clark. Chet
was the agent and Gay his
assistant. Clay, by the way,
was married to a daughter
(first name I do not recall) of
the late Mr. and Mrs. James
Farley.
I believe, too, . that there
were living quarters above the '
depot for Chet and his family.
My old and true friend, Ilene
Laughlin, can either confirm
or retract this statement.
Some of the others I made,
too.
Incidentally, members of
the Main Crew, who made
daily runs between Heppner
and Arlington, also called
Heppner their home.
I might mention the Echan
family, among others.
Yours truly,
William J. "Ole" Mitchell

New Billy Graham film
to be shown
The Living Word, a new film
produced by World Wide Pic
tures, will be presented by
Heppner Nazarene, N. 345 Gil
more on Sunday, Nov. 28, 7
p.m. The showing is free and
open to the public.
Featuring narration by Billy
Graham and Cliff Barrows,
the film weaves together
Scripture passages, great
works of religious art, music,
and some of the most stunning
color footage ever filmed in
the Holy Land. The film
touches the heart and mind of
the viewer with its relevance
to twentieth-century mankind,
stated a news release about
the film.
Rich in visual beauty, and
enhanced by a powerful, ori
ginal, musical score, "The
Living Word" brings the
pages of the Bible to life in a
fresh new way, the news re
lease said.
The Rev. Floyd Wilks, pas
tor of the Heppner Nazarene
Church is extending an invita
tion to all to attend. The film is
for anyone who has unanswer
ed questions about just what
the Bible means to us today.
.The producers of the film feel
the real beauty of the produc
tion is not so much the color
photography, which is truly
memorable, but more the
clear way in which it explains
what the Christian faith really
is. God has a plan for us, set in
motion at the moment of
Creation, and it's still being
realized today. The film aims
to help each viewer discover
that plan, and to see how our
lives fitr into that plan, the
news release said.
World Wide Pictures, the
producer of the film is the film
ministry of the Billy Graham
organization. Among the
