TEN The Hf ppner Gaette-Times. Around About By Justine eatherford Sometimes it seems that youngsters are blamed for making lots of trouble. It Is very pleasing to hear a young Heppner boy being praised publicly. Last week senior citizen, Hazel Hamlin, lost her wallet and was feeling lots of distress. However, before long, Scoutmaster Gene Hall found Hazel and returned the lost wallet, saying proudly that a Boy Scout had found it in the middle of Main Street and brought it to him. The good Scout had not even looked at the contents. Hazel was so delighted and relieved. She wanted to thank the boy but the scoutmaster said "He was just doing what any good Boy Scout would do." Hazel hasn't even learned the lad's name. She feels so happy about the experience and is full of praise for "that fine boy." I've been so afraid that the story of the historic Albert Wright Family might get scrambled and it did, somehow, last week. Nobody should ever believe that "Alonzo (oldest son of Albert) married James Hager..." the gremlins arranged that marriage. The lines should have read "Alonzo married Eva Steward in 1909, and they had two daughters. Jewel married James Hager, Heppner..." Last week many families here helped entertain the eighth grade students who visited Heppner and enjoyed several exciting field trips and special events here while some of our eighth graders were off in the Willamette Valley learning about metropolitan living. This annual exchange program is a great plan for giving two groups of youngsters really interesting learning experiences. In the last "Around About" in April, the names of some of the musicians who used to play for dances with Roy Quackenbush were mentioned. It seems quite a few persons recall early musical pleasures in this area and have contacted me and have asked for more information about county musicians. A nice note from Mrs. Alex Thompson (Jo Case), Portland, said that Harold Becket could give more information. He had quite an orchestra that played all around in the 1930s and early '40s. Harold says that some folks who played with him were Virginia Dix, Marjorie Parker, Bill Schwarz, Anson Rugg, Bill Becket, Al Huit and the Misseldine girls. Also, it seems that former teacher Rachel Dick (Mrs. L.E.) used to play for dances, often at Hardman, her husband, Ed, told me. While the downtown fire was smoldering on Wednesday morning. May 4, "Bud" (Charles) Lundell telephoned me from Fremont, Calif, to say he enjoyed reading the column that mentioned the Quackenbush group, and that he also had a band in this county which played for many dances. Since he left Oregon he had a longtime, successful dance band in California. He was shocked to hear about the fire here. I asked him to write to me about the folks who played wit his group, but so far I haven't heard from him again. "Bud" Lundell 's musically-talented niece, Karen (Mrs. Fran) Stack, who will be leaving here soon for Montana, reports that many Lundells have been musicians. She mentioned August, a horn player, who lived at Weston. Her grandfather, Algott, a natural musician, played the piano, and when electricity reacjed lone-Gooseberry area, he got an electric organ which he enjoyed. Karen now has that organ. Bud and Raymond and Wally were Algott 's sons, and they all loved music. Bud made it his career; Raymond, Karen's father, always enjoyed music; Wally, the youngest boy, played the piano and organ and was an organist at the Grotto, the Shrine of Our Sorrowful Mother, in Portland. Interviewing Heppner's new Yard of the Month winner, Emma Drake, was such a treat. I got to her borne just as she was taking lots of goodies out of her oven which she had baked for the church sale the next day. I had read that three different generations were baking for that scie, and Emma, who will be 90 in about four months, might have been the oldest, most experienced of all the bakers. Hr kitchen surely often smells so wonderful from her good cooking and baking. We went walking and looking about in her big yard, which smelled good, too, but where the lovely lilacs are about gone and have been browned by the rain. So much rain and cold t as bothered Emma's arthritis, and she says it is hard for her to do the weeding she wants to do, and has done for many years. She has many blooming things planted in her yard with some of them even spilling out across the front sidewalk into the street-edge parking strip. Don't forget to treat yourself and your family to a special night in lone this Friday, May 20. At 8 p.m. the documentary drama "Prodigal Daughters" should be very good. The two artists, Jane Von Boskirk and Mark Nelson, are very talented. Their performance promises to be a most special event at the lone High School. See you there.
