tit t Around About By Justine Ifeatfterford Maybe summer will realty settle In soon here. It certainly has made several false starts. Our long, wetter-than-usua! spring and early summer has been hard on hay farmers and on home gardners who find that repeated weed pulling' la pretty tiresome. Many patrons of the Heppner Post Office and 0 the Western Heritage Savings and Loan arc noticing how attractive the employees of these establishments have made the brick flower boxes along Main Street in their block. The blooming marigolds are offspring of those begun when Gwen Healy supervised the Union Office In that location. Jane Rawlins will be leading a tour group to Ashland's Shakespearean Festival again this summer as she has for many years. Last Wednesday when fair and Rodeo Queen Lottie and her princesses were guests at the senior citizen noon meal, Queen Lottie shared her musical skill by playing several piano numbers. On Thursday, July 7, a busload of seniors made a trip to Walla Walla, Wash., and to the Whitman National Historic Site. They learned lots of history. As busdrlver Bill Cox drove through Milton-Freewater, his brother, Charles, joined them with his folding chair. He helped guide the gorup through the area and the museums with their, great exhibits of old farm machinery, some pulled by lifelike fiberglass horses and mules, and most interesting displays of household items, clothing and a recreated Country Store. He also showed the travelers the Veterans' Hospital and its gift shop. The group had lunch in Walla Walla. Millie Harris and Grace Buschke are becoming experien ced1 tour arrangers. Just about two weeks ago they arranged a senior bus trip to Spray where 18 from Heppner enjoyed wonderful noon meal with the Spray seniors. On that trip their experienced driver, Bill Cox, also took them to Monument and drove around through the mountains above the John Day River showing off many lovely vistas. Millie and Grace find these bus tours are so popular and enjoyable that it is difficult to have to be limited to 17 riders and the driver many more seniors would really enjoy the outings. There are quite a few summer workers in south Morrow county who are putting In very long days on forest service and oil exploration crews. They find It Impossible to get Into Heppner during regular store hours. Central Market and the Laundromat have responded to their requests to stay open longer hours on one day of the week. It is hoped that this accommodation will make their working weeks here more pleasant. Some of them expect to be employed here during all of the next two months. Maybe you noticed that the story about Heppner golfer Charles Rawlins in the Pendleton newspaper called him a "professional golfer." Charlie is still an amateur and competes against other amateurs, although he is employed in a Pro Shop in Phoenix, Ariz. This week he is playing in the National Public Links Championship in Colls neck, New Jersey. Last weekend my traveling took me to Hermiston; again I enjoyed the jolly company of Ida Farra. It was awkward to find the Butter Creek Highway closed while the bridge across the Umatilla River near Hinkle is being repaired. The occasion that took many Heppner folks to the Hermiston United Methodist Church on Saturday afternoon was the lovely wedding of Kristi Haguewood and Mike Wick. That ceremony was so delightful the bride was beautiful, the groom so tall and handsome and all the members of the large wedding party looked so splendid. This carefully arranged wedding was very traditional am) included more than the usual special music. The lavish reception which followed at the Quartermaster in McNary was super with beautiful tables of refreshments and live music... the newlyweds led off the dancing. Ida and I stopped for a short visit with Fay and Gene Ferguson in Hermiston. Thej were busily answering cards and notes they had received on the occasion of theire sixtieth anniversary which was celebrated in Salem with family members and friends the same weekend that Madge and Jim Thomson were being congratulated on their golden anniver sary in Heppner. These two couples have been friends for years. Now some coming events will be calling for attendance 1 n Heppner Including the dedication of the Willow Creek Dam at which we hear Senator Mark Hatfield will speak, the summer Sidewalk Sale on July 30 and the fast approaching Fair and Rodeo in August. These are busy days for the grain growers of our area as they plunge into their annual harvest. Everyone hopes that there will be no more hail or rain during these important weeks. Some homemakers are busily preparing exhibits for the county fair, including home preserved fruits and vegetables and jams and jellies. We note loads of stove wood being hauled from the mountains. Prudent foiks, like the hard-working ants, are preparing ahead for winter months. Pioneer's granddaughter works toward rodeo crown A great-granddaughter of a Heppner pioneer is striving to win the race for the title of Queen of the Elgin Stampede Rodeo. Crystal Washburn, great granddaughter of Mrs. C.N. Jones of Heppner, is one of three princesses competing in personal riding ability, horse training and ticket sales for the crown.
