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.
