The Heppner Gaze tteTim, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, August 11, 1983 THREE Around About Wy Justine Weatherford Isn't it good to see the bright flags flying aeroBi Hcppner's Main Street reminding everyone that the Fair and Rodeo arc almost here? That is the only significance that more than &9 plus percent of us attach to those flags; however, one family in town sees a very special significance In one of the banners-the half whtie and half red flag. Last Saturday I spent some Hme In the park while my grandsons were playing there. The very a ttractl ve Polish girl and boy came to play at the same time. Young Wojtec played on the equipment along with Adam and Thomas, and his sister, Inga, sat beside me in the shade and visited. She told me she expects to be In the third grade in school here next September. She converses very nicely In English, which means that she has learned our complicated language quite quickly. It would take me much longer to learn some very simple Polish, I am sure. Inga Informed me that she was very happy about one of the flags fluttering across the street near Dr. Wolff's office. She asked if I realized that the half-white and half-red flag symbolize Poland. I admitted I did not. After I returned home I decided to check out the flags now being displayed here. None of trie others seem to have any national significance, but I found that white and red combinations are rather popular. Poland's flag has the white above the red, Indonesia's and Monaco's flags are also half red and half white, but each of them has the red above the white. I found this Information interesting and was also pleased that inadvertently we have pleased our community's newest immigrants. Many county folks have had the pleasure of visiting with Bobbie and Jim Driscoll have recently. This former postmas ter and his wife spend most of their time in the sunny south these years, but this month they have elected to see our sunshine and to visit Oregon friends. When I visited with Bobbie last week she said they had their travel trailer in the Skow's R.V. Park. My out-of-town travelikng last week got me to Mitchell and back . Eleanor Con ty and I left town by 9 : 30 a m . on Thursday with the intention of reaching Mitchell by noon, but we were a bit late. We had several brief stops in Hardman and then we decided to go over the road through Kinzua. We found that well-graded, gravel road made for slow traveling although it did not have too many really rough spota. Mrs. Gonty, who travels to Penland Lake at least once each week, said she wished that the lake road was as good. How the Kinzua location has changed since I last drove through that bustling mill community. I have memories of the big mill, the stores, the church, the many homes there. Now all that is gone. The area is inhabited by a few cattle. I am sure most persons who had never been through there years back could not believe that the present pastoral scene was once a really lively, thriving community. After we turned toward Service Creek on Highway 19-207 we came to a busy road crew at work and were held up while we waited to be led through the construction by a pilot car. Just beyond Service Creek's store we turned across the John Day River and wound over the hill to Mitchell. There we enjoyed having a picnic lunch in the pleasant Municipal Park with my son and family from Medford. who had driven that morning from their vacation home at Sun River. Eleanor and I made the warm afternoon trip back to Heppner through Spray and Hardman with two of my grandchildren who 'would have liked to have seen some ghosts In the ghost town. Last Friday my daughter. Ann. and her family, came from Cheney, Wash, to visit and to make a child exchange leav ing me their son and taking home a niece. They left Heppner about 9:30 a m. on Saturday expecting to be home In under five hours. On Sunday morning, Ann telephoned to say they had a very bad trip their new car misbehaved, and then stopped about Lind, Wash. They could not get any help or find any parts it needed for many miles around. They finally prevailed on greata friends and neighbors to come tow them home more than 13 hours after they left here. Ann said, "I kept remembering Bill (Weather ford) saying we should all stisck with American made cars. He probably wouldn't have sympathized with us. Now I feel in agreement with Bill and want an American car." All day Monday, August 8, over 100 persons who are members of the Columbia Blue Senior Golfers were at the Willow Creek Country Club for golfing competitions, socializing and a shared noon meal. Early that morning Jane Rawlins and Marty Baker, Beth Forrar and Ken Curtis left for Ashland on the annual Heppner High Shakespearean Tour. They will return Friday night. Although i ll exhibits have already been pre-registered at the Extension Office and although many individuals and groups have been thinking and planning for this year's Fair the real rush of activities gets underway this week because all of the Community Booths must be registered Friday before 5 p.m. Also, registration for the Wrangler's Saddle Horse Show will continue lYiday from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. according to the Fair Premium Book. Then Saturday at 8:30 a.m. the 4 H Judging Contest will begin, and at 9:30 a.m., the 4 H Horse Show starts on the rodeo grounds. Sunday is a most important fair preparation day, a community worktime, which will begin at 1 p.m. and continue until 6 p.m. Workers are asked to bring along potluck food to go with the meat that is being provided by the fair board. After getting a little work accomplished, everyone will have awakened appetites and will be happy to share a potluck meal. Work will continue afterward. A feature, which rather unfortunately, overshadows all else for many persons, the amusement carnival will run from the opening day of the fair, August 22, until August 28. The fair ends at noon on Thursday, August 25. The rodeo performances begin on Friday evenlg; the street parade is Saturday morning ; and thesecond and third rodeo shows are on Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
