Around About By Justine Weatlierford Don't we all hope that President Reagan is right and that this country Is on the mend staying his course was getting a bit tiring. Has your mailbox been overloaded lately? I don't refer to Christmas mailings or to early Valentines, but to the flood of Junk mailings that many of us find day after day. Seems like every publication and every mail-order sales organization in the western world has my name on their mailing lists and then they also send along duplicate mailings to Mr. W W. Wcatherford who has been gone for over six years, too. Did you read about a fellow In California who saved all his Junk mail for one year? He had 1,017 pieces, which filled three two-cubic-foot cardboard cartons. "I put the boxes on a scale and found that in one year 1 had been sent close to 100 pounds of Junk mail," the 26-year-old engineer reported. Maybe if he lives 40 or so more years many more lists will pick up his name and address. Some of his mail could have come at discount prices, but at the current 20 cents per letter, 1,017 letters would have brought the Post Office Department $203.60. Because I think I write more letters than many folks, I usually spend at least $5 for stamps during all the ordinary months and spend more than $20 in December, for a big $75 plus during a year. No wonder the old P.O. Department is finally out of the red ink. Last week a telephone call from Irene Samples (Mrs. Jerry) in Wenatchee, Wash, surprised and pleased me. She seems to read all of the G-T each week. Recently the Samples meet a Mr. Leroy Jones who heard them mention Heppner. tie said that his grandparents, Janet Crawford and Leroy Jones, were from here and that his grandmother had written a history of her famHv which included information about this newspaper which so many Crawfords were involved with through the years. Irene Samples reported that all her family is doing nicely in Wenatchee, but "We still miss Heppner." I appreciated her phone visit and have now written to Mr. Jones and enclosed a self-addressed envelope 40 cents more for the P.O. When I told Frances P. Mitchell about this phone call, Frances caught me up on more facts about the Crawford family. She recalled that Janet Crawford had married Leroy Jones, whose family lived near Heppner, on Christmas Day, 1913, in Heppner. Frances said that their son born In 1914, the first of their 11 children, was named Leroy Crawford Jones and was called "Crawford." The man I have written to is Leroy Arthur Jones, she thinks, who was born about 1937. For some months, two Heppner ladies, Eleanor Gonty and Adelle LaTrace, have been giving a great deal of volunteer time to the Heppner Neighborhood Center. They have used donated materials to put together many quilts (over 150) in various sizes, such as, for double beds, for single beds, for use as lap robes, some crib size and even little ones for doll quilts for little girls. Adelle says that this year quilts have been in great demand and "Any contributions of filling or backing materials are greatly appreciated." These ladies, and the other volunteers who work under center Director Pat Brindle, are surely showing a wonderful community spirit that is to be commended during this economically-depressed period. Valentine's Day will soon be here. Special Sunday, Feb. 13, events will include the annual breakfast which the men of St. Patrick's Catholic Church prepare and serve to their sweethearts. Also that Sunday at the. United Methodist Church, younger members are arranging a Valentine dinner and program in honor of the older members of the church. On Valentine's Night, Monday, Feb. 14, everyone in the area is invited to the Heppner-Morrow Chamber of Commerce First Citizen Dinner. Do plan to come to this event which will honor the top two valentines In the county who are being selected under Dr. Wolff's expert guidance. Shrove Tuesday's Pancake Supper will help make next week special, too. This annual family gathering will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Feb. IS in the Parish Hall of All Saints Episcopal Church everyone is Invited by co-chairmen Harriet Hall and Karen Thompson. Some of us need to re-understand the significance of Shrove Tuesday. It is the day before Ash Wednesday which is the first day of Lent, the 40 days before Easter, excluding Sundays. Its name came from the old custom of confessing (being shriven) on that day. Shrove Tuesday is a time of rejoicing in many countries and communities. It is the last day of the carnival season of southern Europe and corresponds to the Mardi Gras of the French and the Pancake Tuesday of the English. So bring your family to rejoice with other families at All Saints Episcopal Church next Tuesday. With Easter Sunday (April 3) approaching fast, it would be so splendid i some community-minded group or individuals would repaint the old rugged cross up on Heppner's east hill. Now that the Willow Creek Road has been relocated, that cross is more visible than ever. Some of us who try to climb up to touch the cross each spring have known It really needs paint. About ten years ago Del Piper and his son Mark painted it as part of Mark's service qualification for Eagle Scout rank. Del can tell anyone about driving up to the top of the hill. On Sunday, January 31, the Catholic community of Heppner and lone reluctantly said farewell to Father David Hazen, who left for Wasco the next day, as Monsignor Raymond Beard was reassigned to the churches in this county which he had done so much to build during his fine earlier service here. Father Hazen was an exceptional clergyman who was very well trained as a counselor and was known all over the U.S. for the Marriage Encounter seminars he had been conducting for sometime. He only served here between Nov. 1, 1982 and Feb. 1, 1983, yet he surely made a great impression on all who came In contact with him and were charmed by his fine, remarkably-developed mind and his most understanding heart. How sad that his fine work has been terminated by his sudden death; however, his good ( works will live on in the many communities where he served.

The articles will feature a variety of topics on beef In an effort to make the general public more aware of the many uses of beef. BKKF TIDBITS By MARLKNK C'l'KKIN Morrow County Cowltelle Publicity Chairman The Morrow County Cow Belles wish to advise the general public of certain facts about beef. With the help of The Beef Industry Council of the National Livestock and Meat Board, we hope to share some interesting tidbits about beef with you. Let's talk about "beef on the hoof," "Beef on the he f" as a popular term for cattle is not quite accurate and it badly low-rates the full value of the contributions that the cattle industry makes to the quality of life in the United States. For example, a 1,000 lb, market steer yields approxi mately 432 lbs. of beef. Nearly all of the remaining weight is recovered as by-products, edible and fnedible, from which are made a wide vari ety of foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and clothing. Every year approximately 35 to 40 million cattle are turned into a staggering amount of by-products and beef. The importance of the tremendous quantity of high quality protein that beef con tributes to the American diet is well known. But the contri butions that the beef industry makes to the quality of Amer ican life beyond the dinner table are both noteworthy and vital. Ix't's look at some of those items. Variety meats: liver, brains, tongue, ox Joints, kid neys, tripe and sweetbreads. Retail beef: steaks, roasts and ground beef. Pharmaceuticals: rennet, epinephrine, thrombin, insu lin, heparin. TSH, ACTH, cholesterol, estrogen and thy roid extract. Edible by-products: oleo stock, oleo oil. gelatin, marshmallows, canned meat, candies and natural sausage casings. Inedible by-products: leather, sports equipment, surgical sutures, soap, cos metics, buttons, china, photo graphic film, sandpaper, vio lin strings. "Camel hair" brushes and explosives. hat The Heppner Gazette-Times.
