Saturday afternoon, July 2, in the Heppner Elks Lodge, a beautifully organized reception in celebration of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Madge and Jim Thomson was arranged for them by their three children and families. Much planning and preparation was done by daughter Meredith and her husband, Tom Walters, who came from Santa Maria, Calif., with three of their four sons. Their older son Russell was in Alliance, Nebraska, and was unable to attend with his brothers Duane, Ammon and Aaron. Daughter Bernice Thomson came from Tigard to help with the arrangements along with her brother, Bruce, and his wife, Phyllis, and their daughter, Stacey, and son, Jeffrey, from Aloha. The colors featured at a the reception were gold and red and green which had been also used at the 1933 Christmas Eve Wedding conducted by Rev. Joel Benton of the Heppner Church of Christ in the borne of Jim's parents, the home that Madge and Jim occupy today. The original Gazette-Times report tells that, "The bride wore a tiptoe length blue crepe frock and carried tiny red rosebuds." The 1933 wedding was very nice, but rather small. Madge says "It was depression style." Many times the small number who were with them then gathered to wish them well fifty years later. Three persons who were with Madge and Jm on both occasions were Jim's sisters Louise and Winifred and long-time family friend Jeanette Turner Huddleston, who had played the piano at the 1933 rites. At the Saturday reception the beautiful anniversary cake was surrounded by lovely fresh red and gold roses. It was served to the guests by Betty Pfeiffer, Lib Daggett and Alberta Parker. That evening, the immediate family and many of the out-of-town guests were hosted at a dinner in the Thomson home. Among the gifts presented to Madge and Jim was an unusually attractive quilted family tree which the Thoma sons have hung on their livingroom wall. Madge is putting together a hand-made memory book, also presented by their children, containing the cards, notes and pictures related to the golden anniversary. Family members who came from out of town included Louise and Merle Becket from Creswell ; Ted Thomson from the Miami, Florida area; Beatrice Bennett of Beaverton; , Shirley and Norman Lee ten and sons Brian and Rod from Vancouver, Wash.; and Joy and Gilbert Reed of Walnut Creek, Calif. The large group of Heppner friends was joined by special friends from other towns (many were former residents here) in congratulating the Thomasons, whose actual anniversary will arrive on Dec. 24, but who agreed to have a summertime celebration when traveling is so much more convenient: Jeanette Huddleston came from Boise, Idaho and Fern and John Turner came from Baker. Guests from Washington state included Margaret and Reno Daoro, Puyallup; Mary and Bob Guild, Snohomish; Theresa and Dean Naffziger, White Salmon; and Mimriam McDonald from Selah. Those coming from Oregon towns were Ruby and Bill Harmon, Eugene; Gwen and Steve Thompson, Wilsonville; Janet Bliss, Aloha; Alberta and Vawter Parker, Hood River; Crocket and Juanita Sprouls, Condon; and Clytie and Walter Mackey, Thelma Gentry and Emma Staggs, all from Pendleton.

Duane Roy Disque, 27, and Robanai Coral Riddle, 28, both of Lexington. 2 Heppner businesses staying open late By JUSTINE WEATHERFORD The summertime forest service and oil exploration projects being carried on cur rently in south Morrow County require long working days and make it difficult for those employed on them to get to Heppner to shop before busi nesses close. Some of these workers have requested longer business hours on one night each week. Last week, two Heppner busi nesses agreed to stay open until at least 10 p.m. on Wednesdays from now until further notice. Those who want to shop after the usual closing hours will find Central Market and the Heppner Laundromat ready to help them Wednesday nights. Co.
