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.
