The Heppner Gazette-Time, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June IS, 1981 THREE
Around About
By Justine Weatherford
Now most schools' graduation exercises are over. One can
read on T-shirts that some new graduates In answer to that
popular question "How do you spell relief?" are saying
"G-R-A-D-U-A-T-I-O-N." Their famiiy intmtors will prob
ably spell relief "Graduation and a Job" when these young
folks finally are able to make that big step Into the real world
of wage-earners.
Last week was very special for me because I left Heppner
for six days and lived a different sort of life with some friends
I don't see often. Last Monday about 10 a.m. Irene Swanson
and I drove west by-south through Condon, Fossil, Antelope,
Madras, Redmond, Sisters and the beautiful still snow-laden
central Oregon Cascades to Salem. There I spent Monday
night with Irene and her brother and sister-in-law, Joe and
Dorothy Miller, In their delightful northeast Salem home
before my early Tuesday a.m. departure to the Willamette
University campus to attend the annual conference of the
Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Church. I still enjoy campus
life, the being with folks who are trying to learn and to solve
problems, the walking through landscaped areas between the
halls of Ivy where dedicated teachers try to Inspire others to
worthwhile growth. My three nights of dormitory living were
pleasing. By chance I was assigned to share a room with a
very interesting lady stockbroker, an account executive with
Merrill Lynch and the lay delegate from the Beaverton
church.
Each morning I attended church services in Salem's
historic, very beautiful First Methodist Church before
plunging into the serious deliberations of the days when
many social problems were carefully considered and when
the two-state conference's impressive annual budget was
adopted. What inspirational words I heard, what soul-lifting
music, what legislative struggling. Between business ses
sions, quick visits with former Heppner friends, the Rev.
Edwin and Doris Cutting and the Rev. Steve Tollefson were
very pleasing. Because I have attended the annual
conference for so many yean now, I have made June
friendships with many lay persons and clergy persons from
throughout the two states.
After the business sessions concluded on Friday, I moved
back to the Miller home for the night. Irene and I left early on
Saturday to drive to Portland's Lloyd Center where we
parked the car and walked about four blocks to Union Avenue
where we luckily managed to achieve a good place to sit and
to view the 75th Portland Rose Parade. Such excitement!
How fresh the flowers on the gorgeous floats were in the
coolness of the forenoon. We were very few blocks from the
starting place, the Coliseum, and many of the bands and
other marching units were so peppy and put on special drills
as they passed.
As I enjoyed observing again the lovely landscaping at
Willamette University, around the state capitol grounds and
throughout the very neat residential sections of Salem, I
could easily understand how that city won AJl-American
honors a few years back. It seems like every yard we saw
was well enough cared for to qualify it for Yard of the Month
honors. How carefully the grassy spaces were edged, how
beautifully the shrubbery and the flower beds were
cultivated. Salem has a wonderful variety of trees and
shrubs. We wondered if residents had made special efforts to
have their places looking so pretty because they were hosting"
graduation guests and Methodists, but we deckled they are
just competitively, and perhaps habitually, very neat
with their yards, their clean streets and the well groomed
parks. We wished that all communities could look so
"ready for company" as Salem looks. I came home
determined to at last get with the weeding around my yard. I
think Irene Swanson is about ready to start a campaign in
Heppner to get citizens to clean up and to beautify this
community before the company expected at F air and Rodeo
time arrives.
Saturday evening we surely timed our return to Morrow
just right. We had not eaten since our post-parade luncheon
in the Lloyd Center and were talking about having some
nourishment when we reached lone. Irene asked that we
drive to Jim and Monica Swanson's home first and there
we found a goodly group of happy lone Lions and their ladies
gathered. They generously insisted we joined them at their
potluck-steak barbecue. So we were welcomed home with
unexpected good cheer. We immediately were informed
about the big excitement of the week, the lone bank robbery .
What a surprise! We were glad to hear there was no
shootingbut sorry to learn that the robber was not yet
apprehended.
In Heppner last Sunday after church, the Lutherans of the
county joined at Hope Lutheran Church to honor the
departing Francis Stack Family with a farewell dinner. The
ladies, who had created a beautiful quilt and a pair of quijted
pillows as a surprise gift for the family, made their
presentation, and the Valby congregation presented a money
box. All the Stacks, who have not lived in Heppner very long,
will be greatly missed as they go to live on Fran's family
ranch in Montana. His retired parents joined the family here
for the Sunday party. Karen Stack has endeared herself
especially to south Morrow through her graciousness in
sharing her musical skill. She has played the organ and -or
the piano at the Lutheran, Catholic and Methodist churches
and has been most helpful to the school music department.
How quickly this family became a significant part of our
community and now how quickly they depart to make new
lives and to bring joy to another area in another state where
everyone here is wishing them many happy years.
