Ione't High School had Iti gradua tion that night after the auction was cleared away. One of the most exciting aspects of the auction was the lovely food-sale area of the Country Store upstairs in the Willows Grange Hall. Before the sale-beginning bell rang the shelves were well loaded with wonderfully attractive foodstuffs then within a very few minutes after the selling began how quickly that wonderful, homemade food was cleared from the shelves. Other high spots of last week were the county extension arranged spring bus trip and Heppner High School's graduation. Now the pace here should slow down as the school year has ended, and some of us who have done many things other than giving our gardens and yards sufficient attention may be able to get to that activity, somewhat belatedly. Although the County Fair and Rodeo events bring Morrow's people together each August maybe late May and early June are bigger times for visiting with the Memorial weekend reunion and the school graduations and that first Saturday in June auction. It was so pleasing to have Katherine (Scharf ) and Erling Thompson, former residents of the lone area, stop at my home to visit last Friday while they were here from McMinnville renewing friendships and looking around. , I learned from Katherine that Erling'i parents, the Nicolai Thompsons, came from Norway to the Gooseberry area where they learned our language and learned to be farmers. Erling's younger brothers are all well Dr. Ralph in Medford; Ted in Green Valley, Arizona; Norris in Sacra mento, Calif ., and James in Portland. They all feel nostalgic about the lone area where they grew up, where the older three attended Ella School and the two youngest went to school out Gooseberry way. Katherine came from Salem to teach at Ella in 1938. The Erling Thompsons continue to read this paper each week. Their children are: Eldon, born at Heppner and now living in San Diego, Calif. ; Carl, born in the valley and now living in McMinnvilie; Elinor Smith, also born in the valley and now living in Bellevue, Wash. Last Wednesday, 37 tourists (including three gentlemen), who traveled tc the Yakima Nation Cultural Center situated on U.S. Hwy. 87 at Toppenlsh, Wash., surely had an interesting, educational experience. The Yakima Reserva tion, one and one-half times the size of the state of Rhode Island, stretches westward to the sacred mountains of the Yakimas, Mt. Adams, on the crest of the Cascade Range. The reservation includes much of the world famous Yakima Valley where orchards make it the fruit bowl of the U.S.; wh-r more hops are grown than anywhere else in the world; and where hunters find the finest game bird country in the northwest. Many Morrow folks have gone annually to the Mt. Adam's area to pick huckleberries. The Yakima Center is a dramatic cluster of buildings grouped around a very tall replica of a winter lodge of the Yakimas, one of the most recent architectural concepts of Pietro Belluschi, a very important living American archi tect. If you haven't yet visited this place with its extraordinary museum, lovely Heritage Inn Restaurant, and beautiful library and shops do try to go there. After a good look about the center and a super luncheon, the Morrow tourists chose to make a side trip westward to the ending of state Highway 220. They drove through the town of Yakima ; the town of White Swan, where an All Indian Rodeo is held each June and where a big Pow-Wow comes each July; and westward to Ford Simcoe State Park and to the Ft. Simcoe C.C.C. Camp. The Historic Ft. Simcoe was estab lished as a regular Army Post in 1S56 and was later used as the Yakima Indian Agency Headquarters. We were disap pointed that the buildings were not open that day, but we really enjoyed walking around the grounds, under the magnificent oak trees, viewing the old barracks and little jail and pressing our noses against the windows of the headquarters buildings to see their interiors. Homeward bound we stopped at the Columbia Center which is rather difficult to find from the new Yakima freeway eastern side. The excursion kept the tourists busy from 7 a.m. until about 8 p.m. There was some talk on the bus about making a group tour to visit the fine Ste. Michelle Winery, "River Ridge," near Patterson, Wash, some time in the future. That institution is only about two hours travel time from Heppner. The Commencement at Heppner was a fine event, everyone who participated perlormea so excellently. It was interesting to note that this year's top honors, the valedictorian and salutatorian went to young men, but the four class officers were young women. Graduations are often bitter-sweef occasions The program was swef-lt was bitter to now that Michele Portmann, John Sporseen and Irvin Rauch along with others are leaving the school scene in this county. Senator Packwood seemed friendly, relaxed and said "I enjoy being here among friends." His address was worthwhile stressing the qualities necessary for leadership. He admitted that speakers Wes Maria tt and Greg Connor had expressed some of the thoughts he held. Long time school district board member, Irv Rauch, our new county commissioner, made a very nice farewell talk. Those persons who have been chosen through the years to serve on the County School Board and who give so many evenings of their lives to carefully guiding the school system, really are most deserving of our honor and grateful thanks. Last week I borrowed the six "Daily Oregonians" from an "affluent neighbor so that I could try to learn from the paper's series of articles on the Computer Age. I learned that I have much to learn about this revolutionary development that I am not too sure if everything about it is good. A friend told me that Evangelist Billy Graham is also very interested in this great change coming into everyone's life. Computers and robots are supposed to already be significant parts of today's world. . In his address at Ithaca College in New York recently, author Isaac Asimov stated, "It is conceivable that someday we will build a robot that will learn, that will show some of the things that are typically human such as insight, intuition, creativity, inspiration. But even if we do, it would be so troublesome, so difficult, we would have to put so much into it, that it wouldn't be cost effective. It wouldn't be worth our while. Human beings can do it so easily." (Taken from "Parting Words for the Class of '83," p. 75, U.S. News & World Report, June 6, 1983.) Pendleton & Heppner golfers compete The Heppner Gazette-Times.
