Around About
By Justine Wealherford
Heppner High't senior girls and their mothers were
recently treated to a very nice luncheon by the Soroptimists.
They met aome of the leading career women of the
community and heard a good talk by Pauline Winter about
continuing their educations and preparing for employment.
Jackie Allstott presided over the affair very effectively.
Having the working TV on hand was a first. Geneva
Matthews' music was pleasing, as was the great variety of
salads provided by the Episcopal Church women.
How much more satisfying the occasion could have been,
at least for me, if the noon hour could have been stretched out
longer, because there was not time enough to hear little
more from or about the senior girls, to hear about some of
their accomplishments and their future plans.
Have you watched the High School TV programs over
channel S? I uw one of them on Tuesday morning April 19.
but have been too busy with research and writing since then
to watch again. It is so good that librarian and media
specialist, Marion Abrams, and language art teacher, Jane
Rawlins, are now conducting a film and television class. The
school hat had TV equipment for many years. Do plan to tune
In Channel 3. KHHS, on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. or Thursdays at
7:30 p.m.
Maybe you have noticed that the Bank of Eastern Oregon
has posted signs saying that a Morrow County history book,
"Homesteads and Heritages," can now be purchased for
one fourth of its original price, for Just $2 50 each or at three
for $6. This book is not at all like the Morrow County History
Book for which many of you have been writing stories about
your own families. The book being offered at these bargain
prices was written by one man, Giles French, and it does not
carry a big collection of personal accounts. It is being sold for
the Chamber of Commerce which promoted its publication.
The Bank of E O has been storing quite a few boxes of these
books for too long now. The County Museum also has an
ample supply of them.
The County Museum and the Gazette-Times office have
been kept extra busy these last weeks of April as folks who
were hunting up family facta have searched diligently
through files and old copies of papers. Writing about one's
family facts can be interesting and educational, too, but I am
very concerned that what I have turne dout may not satisfy
those persons for whom I wrote. I have Just finished typing
all the McDuffee facts which were sent to me from Seal Rock
and how I wished I could have personally questioned Ray
McDuffee about certain things as I wrote. Now, too, I am
trying to learn about the family of pioneers Albert and Julia
Wright , and this is interesting and helpful to my
understanding of the development of this area, but again I
worry about maybe not getting the facts down correctly.
It seems to me that if we didn't have a museum, didn't have
records at our courthouse and didn't have old file copies of
the newspaper, many families would surely be unable to pull
together the stories that will bring Joy to their friends and to
their own future generations.
About two weeks ago the good folks of lone spoke out about
their concern for their schools. It was good they aired their
feelings, that they showed how strongly they feel about the
importance of the schools in that community, and how
disturbed they are about various budget cuts.
Every taxpayer, every parent and every teacher should
carefully read "A Nation At Risk" an open letter to the
American people from the National Commission on Excel
lence in Education which was published in the "Forum"
Section of last Sunday's "Oregonian." All who read it should
be really alerted to the significance of our nation's schools.
They should be alerted to the importance of maintaining
good schools everywhere. This country was the firsts county
ever to promise that "all, regardless of race or class or
economic status are entitled to a fair chance and to the tools
for developing their individual powers of mind and spirit to
the utmost.
"This promise means that all children by virtue of their
own efforts, competently guided, can hope to attain the
mature and informed Judgment needed to secure gainful
employment and to manage their own lives, thereby serving
not only their own interests bust also the progress of society
Itself."
Soon voters here will either pass or defeat the county
school budget. They may be hearing good things about our
schools or they may be hearing bad things about them.
Becoming concerned and informed and interested and
involved with schools is so worthwhile. Surely everyone
wants high standards of conduct and of academic perfor
mance from teachers and students. Everyone, knows
excellence requires effort and discipline. k
Good school systems are expensive, but they are so basic
and so valuable to our nation's future. Any community
without good schools is sure to suffer in many ways. All
residents of Morrow County should vote thoughtfully on the
school budget. Without fiscal support the schools will
collapse.

eventually killing the plant.
H said potato and corn plant

in Morrow County, grapes, is
drawing much interest. How
ever, it takes three years for
Ihem to develop enough to
bear fruit for sale.
