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.

(Editor's note: "Beef Tid
bits," by Marlene Currln,
Morrow County CowBelle
Publicity chairman, will be a
periodic feature in the
Gazette-Times. 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.
