The Ileppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, April 21, 1983 THREE Around About Deadline drawing near Extension agent speaks to Heppner Garden Club By Justine Weatherford My last week's (wo binges! excitements were being able to see 19H2's reatest film and being present when the selection committee of the Heppner Garden (flub "found" the Joyely Paustian yard which "ts never lost. One of my Interesting projects has been a quick review of somo of the history of India and of the life of Gandhi. Another project, demanding study and causing me distress, Is my assignment to write the history of Heppner for the Historical Society-promoted county book. I am so hopeful to do a decent Job, yet It is so hards to include everything which has happened here In over 110 years and to attempt to mention those who caused these happenings. Recalling local things first, how thrilling was the discovery of the beautiful yard of Jan and Les Paustlan, which one doesn't see from the street, How Impressive are their years of great effort and their love of beauty which has resulted In their achievement. Listening to friends' conversations, reading and TV and film viewing are about to out-weigh my own first-person discovery method of learning. Actually I guess this happened some time ago, but I haven't wanted to admit it until recently. As a child and even long Into adulthood, I have wanted to go ahead and burn my finger on the hot stove, to taste the sweet and the bitter myself, to see as many places personally as possible, I still believe experience is the greatest of ail teachers, but now I must almost resign to letting vicarious experiences take over. After I visited India vicariously last Sunday afternoon in a Pendleton theater, where quite a group of Morrowites viewed the British-made film 'Gandhi," I was Inspired to a little more study about India. I quickly saw a real contrast between the guru, the Bhagwan of Antelope, who was not very popular in India, and the great leader Gandhi. Gandhi, who died in his 78th year after living a strenuous, very simple, very concerned life, was assassinated by a high-ranking Brahman (Hindu) who feared Gandhi's pro gram of tolerance for all people, all stations in life, all creeds and religions including India's Moslem minority. Among those viewing the outstanding film last Sunday were Heppner's beloved. 90 year-old Maggie Healy and her son, Francis, of Pendleton. Perhaps Maggie was the only former British subject in the theater. Seeing her there I thought about her brave life, She left Ireland in 1911 when she was 18. Ireland had become part of Britain in 1801 after the Act of Union passed in 1800, which among other things stated that Roman Catholics could not vote or hold public office (however this part of the act was overcome in 1829). All but the six counties of North Ireland finally became a self governing dominion of Great Britain called the Irish Free Stale In 1921. On April 18. 19-t9, it cut all ties with Great Britain and became the independent Republic of Ireland. Most of India, where about 15 percent (once one-sixth) of the world's population lives, came under the control of the British East India Company around 1760 and remained thus until 1858 when the British government took over from the company, coaxing local princes to accept British supervi sion. In 1877 Queen Victoria became Empress of India. There were 15 British provincial governments under the viceroy. After the Amristar Massacre (April 13. 1919) when a British general ordered his troops to fire on a restless, unarmed crowd, killing about 400 and wounding at elast 1 .200, the country's struggle for independence grew, and in 1920 Gandhi became leader of the Indian National Congress and his non violent, civil disobedience became a mass move ment, soon involving millions of Indians. This London-trained attorney, whose merchant-caste parents had arranged his marriage to a girl also 13-years-oid, which produced four children, had worked for Indian rights in South Africa for 21 years before returning to India in 1915. Gandhi UST.9 1MH) was a small man with limitless physical and moral strength, and he ardently promoted many economic and social reforms. His life was guided by a search for the truth, which he believed could be known only through tolerance and concern for fellow humans and through constant personal testing. He called his autobiography (much of it written in prison) "My Experiments with Truth." He overcame fear in himself and taught others to master fear. He practiced his own method of direct social action based on principles of courage, non-violence and truth which he called "satyagraha" that proclaims "The way one behaves is more important than what one achieves." His leadership achieved India's independence and brought tremendous change. India became an independent dominion in 1947 and an Independent, democratic republic on January 20. 1950. Back close to borne, I feel distress about the overlapping of some fine activities next week. Next Thursday, April 28, I know the Morrow County Homcmakcrs Day is set for Ione's Willows Grange Hall from 9:30 to 2 p.m. This promises lots of fun and education, Ruest speakers and the installation of studsy group officers - proclaimed "A day of celebration o spring and the joys of homemaking."Many women should plan to attend. Some weeks ago my friend Mary Goheen invited me to attend the annual Soroptimist luncheon honoring senior girls and their mothers that same noon. I accepted Tier invitation because I am always delighted to attend these lovely affairs, to see the girls and their moms and to hear the outstanding speakers. How hard it is to schedule events without overlapping, especially In this period after winter leaves us and before school ends. So we must all keep busy with worthwhile activities, beautifying our yards and our community, supporting planned programs and continuing to search for the truth. Don't Gamble with Mother Nature!

Bob Costa, county extension agent, talked about control ling weeds in lawns and gar dens and fielded questions. He brought along a collection of various weeds from his yard and earden as samples of the gardeners' enemy, and he gave out copies of two exten sion bulletins. "Controlling Weeds in Home Lawns", and "Yard and Garden Weed Con trol." His talk to the club last spring about pests, another major enemy, is still vividly recalled by some gardeners. President Theta Lowe con ducted the business meeting during which several plans were discussed and responsi bilities for some projects as signed. The Yard of the Month Committee was directed to select a yard worthy of honor ing from April 15 until May 15.
