Around About By Justine Wealherford Although summer doesn't begin for three weeks, Oregon hat been having an early taste of warm summer weather. Some folks felt it would be too hot at the fairgrounds last Sunday to enjoy the annual reunion-picnic. However, the more than 350 who attended, In ages ranging from four weeks to several persons over 90 years, were in the main comfortable and pleased with the recently Improved air conditioning. The hosting Albert Wright Family demonstra ted again how well a large clan can manage to work together efficiently to present a community program which drew many persons to Heppncr from many places. Really the principal Joy of these annual reunions is the visiting which takes place. Among those I enjoyed chatting with briefly were Harriet (Hager) and Clayton Shaw, from Corvallls; Ray and Nell McDuffee, from Seal Rock, three-fifth of the Melvin Harnett Family from Walla Walla, Wash, and Mabel Denny from Portland, who brought along some lovely flowers from her yard. It was so good to see Olive Hughes and several members of her family, too. Many former residents returned, such as, Gerald and Violet Swaggart and Gene and Fay Ferguson. Judge McElligott's remarks about changes which have taken place were interesting. He pointed out that quite a few families, like the Wrights, have now lived in Morrow County into their fifth and sixth generations. He spoke with pride about the growing number of Century Farms, which have been operated continuously by members of one family for at least 100 years. Many changes are distressing, but many changes are perhaps for the best. Often it takes time to accept and to feel at ease with change. Last week we read how sad co-workers and others feel about John, Debbie and Carta Nordheim leaving the county. I've Just learned that my neighbors, Bill and Margie Myers expect to leave soon, also. We hear that the Rev. Doug and nurse Karen Thomas are going as missionaries to Mexico City. The Rev. Mike and Linda Sheridan are soon going to relocate in Ontario. All these fine persons have made worthwhile contributions to this county as have others who will be going elsewhere as the school year ends. Although it hurts to have them leave we must look forward to getting to know their replacements who will bring different ideals and different feelings here. Having this on-going recirculation of persons is one way our still rather isolated community can keep up with the rapidly changing outside world. Last week. Morrow County lost a very special man former Sheriff Clarence J.D. Bauman. His service to the area and his leadership In many aspects of community life will be long remembered. Dr. L.D. Tibbies stood at the Tuesday Chamber of Commerce luncheon to say that Mr. Bauman had died that morning, and that he was the last charter member of the Commercial Club which became the Heppner-Morrow Chamber of Commerce. It was good to hear C.J D. praised by the speaker at the Heppner High baccalaureate on Wednesday last and then again at the picnic which was dedicated to his memory. The Masonic service which paid last respects to Clarence was outstanding. There the devotion and care which his wife Hazel gave to him through his long illness was spoken of during the Impressive final rites. Are you reading the many print media articles about the computer era which is upon us? Some of us feel eager to go bark to school and to start to learn again through and about these new systems which are said to be revolutionizing education and all forms of business and are very soon to reshape homelife. Today's school children, from kindergar ten on, are learning to read and think in new ways. They are being called "the first microcomputer generation." We older ones have lots of catching up to do. Yet it seems like those persons who have moved from horse-drawn transportation and farming into the machine age, who have lived much of their lives before radio and television became central parts of homelife, will somehow manage to adjust. Do you wonder, as I do, if our youngsters will still be able to think without using calculators and computers? Surely the schools will still stress reading, writing and 'rithmetic. This brings me to complimenting Heppner High School on its "83 Collage," a very attractive and interesting magazine of 58 pages containing student writing and drawings and photographs. The magazine's index page shows that more than 50 students have contributed work to it and I am sure that they had guidance and assistance from quite a few teachers. I have not yet had the time to read every page, but I have looked over all the work and enjoyed some of the shorter selections, along with the art work and photography. It is thrilling to see this level of production turned out by young persons and I venture to state that not too much of the work was done with computer assistance. It appears to be original, creative effort. I do not want to be tagged as being "anti-computers" but 1 am very "pro-creativity," It is so good to see original work being carefully produced by persons of any age and then to have it be shared with theier community members. Thursday night, U.S.Senator Robert Packwood will be the speaker at the Heppner High School Commencement. This is gong to be a big night for the graduates, for their families and for the entier community. It is not too often that Heppner has personal visits from members of the U.S. Congress. r 20th Annual IUCC Auction & Barbecue On"'6' mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm B Ws ad sponsored Dy YOUlHiDMrOWNtD BANK Oregon Wheat Foundation to sponsor management seminars The Heppner Gaiette-Tlmes, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, Jane 2, 1983 THREE Farmers and other business IM'fMons will be joining with professional advisers such as attorneys, accountants, life underwriters and trust offi cers ' throughout Oregon on June 8. 9 and 10 to learn about tax management and business organization, announced Wes ley Grilley of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, seminars on business organi zation will be held on June 8 at the Rodeway Inn In Salem and on June 9 at the Indian Hills Motor Inn in Pendleton.
