Around About By Justine IVeatherford By now you hnve learned to write liitfl nnd have all yout new calendars where they remind you what date fit what date. Although I had absolutely no say in the matter, rpy! parents managed to time my arrival so that it almost coincides with the change of the year. My mother noted in the baby !Kok kIip started on January 2, 1914, that I came early that morning during one of Detroit, Michigan's snow storms. Although when I was young and when I taught school I didn't look with much favor on January 2, because It very often meant the end of the holiday period, now I am very pleased to have my personal old year end and new year begin along with everyone's. As some of my family and friends so kindly remember my birthday. Just as they recover from their holidays, several have formed the habit of being sure that I have a nice, new calendar. This year six friends and family members gave me lovely calendars-guess they wanted to be sure I keep straight on days and dates. Having a calendar Installed In every room, Including the bathroom, surely should help. Since January 3, most of the schools of America are off to a new, mid year, beginning, In lleppner. lone, Hoardman and Irrigon. public school youngsters are caught up again in studies and winter-time athletic activities. Oldsters, too, in increasing numbers are attending classes. CJ.K.D. classes are held in lleppner at the Neighborhood Center under the leadership of Joy Krein and Nancy Fishburn. Monday, the winter term classes of RMCC got off to a new start. A dandy variety of learning experiences are offered in the commun ities of this country under coordinator Nancy Brownfield. If you are Interested in attending classes offered in Boardman, Irrigon, lone, Lexington or lleppner you can still register until Thursday, Jan. 13 unless classes are full or limited. You must register for limited classes by January 7. (See related story). As I've Men thinking alMiut the old and new year, along with others who do a bit of reviewing and w riting at this time, I feel inclined to put my thoughts on paper. There are several things I so hope might cease with the passing of l'J82 or before this new year progresses very far. I am feeling distressed by the difficulties with which some farmers and ranchers are faced I just visited a farm family that is dear to me and found them very depressed They have invested in expensive machinery and irrigation equipment and now they tell me they fear that they can't afford to irrigate their land Ix'cause of the extreme cost of electric power. I have p'ways firmly believed that the land which pro duces all our crops, including our forests, and provides food for all animals and humans, Is the base of all the world's wealth My father, a farm reared man, early indoctrinated me with a great respect for farmers and ranchers. Now when I know some of them are suffering and struggling to keep going, I suffer, too. We all are most anxious for every aspect of the world's economy to improve soon Morrow County has been most fortunate in not suffering as badly as other areas, although we know our forest industry and our businesses generally are down considerable, along with agriculture. Seems I keep thinking and praying that the sjending of tax funds by our government and by other countries for increasing military equipment will cease. I can't understand why the countries of the world can't develop trust and cooperation, why they must keep on competing and mistrusting one another. Another matter that disturbs my ' sleep is the increasing number of accounts of the abuse of children. Surely some year adults will pass the state of development when they abuse minors and when they also abuse animals Why can't all abuse case? Quite a few bright signs shine in our county. Last year saw many of our youth excelling scholastically and athletically. We had a good St Patrick's Hay. The County Fair and Rodeo' went well Some of our county roads are greatly improved. Ileppner's streets were again brightened with Christmas , lights and an especially gorgeous tree. The Artifactory was so exciting and successful. Many families tended gardens, harvested wood for their home heating and gave Volunteer -assistance to the Neighborhood Center and to the hospital. The library and museum continued to function. I believe attendance at churches here, like elsewhere, has increased. President Jim Hayes of the new, non profit lleppner Economic Development Corporation, recently gave an excellent review of why and how that group came about and what it hopes to achieve He made a strong plea for .' everyone's input, saying that the success of the group will depend on a real working together effort. Politically, 1 personally would like to believe that the election defeats of the female district attorney and the female county commissioner were not in any way sexually oriented. It seems to me that both women were well-qualified and discharged their duties admirably. Their replacements, selected by the majority of the voters, must also have brought high qualifications tn the positions they have assumed; however, they may find Ann Spicer's and Dorothy Krebs' performances hard acts to follow. The coming weeks hold several community activities that should catch the interest of many. Perhaps you have been alerted to the first annual meeting of the lleppner Economic Development Corporation on Monday evening, Jan. 10 at the lleppner Folk's Ixxige. As usual here, several other meetings will be taking place that evening Don't forget the plays at lleppner High School on Tuesday,, Jan. 11 and Thursday, Jan. 1.1. The 1983 First Citizen Banquet is being arranged by the lleppner-Morrow Chamber of Commerce for Monday even ing, February 14. That night the announcement will be made of the man and woman who have been selected as most worthy of honor for their outstanding, voluntary contribu tions to fellow citizens of this county during the year Just completed. The Honors and Awards Committee of the Chamber, which is chaired by Dr. Wallace Wolff, is eager to hear recommendations for this honoring from the public. So think this matter over soon and send along your heart's choice for first citizenship designations to be announced on Valentine's Dcy. Everyone should be delighted with the recent selection of a great Morrow County Rodeo Court. We hail Queen Lottie Loughlin, the daughter of Judy and Robert Laughlin or lleppner; Princess Sylvia Ladd, the daughter of Lorraine and Elmer Ladd of lone; and Princess Dawn Timms, the daughter of Sharon and Bryan Timms of Irrigon. It is so pleasing that each of these young women has had 4 experiences and each is an outstanding horsewoman. Each ' represents a fine area of this county and each attends a different school : Lottie is at Eastern Oregon State University in LaGrande; Sylvia attends Blue Mountain Community College In Pendleton and Dawn is a student at Riverside High School in Boardman.

Some people have reported having difficulty starting a story. Foran example: a story could begin "The family of came to Morrow County in. . ." or "This church was built in .. . " After the first sentence, a story many times falls into place bv itself. Also, a uood headline will make a story more appealing and in teresting.
