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. Friday and
Saturday nights there will be rodeo dances. AH the annual
excitement will end after the third rodeo performance on
Sunday, August 28.
