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.
