Labor Day should rightly mean something apecial to all
Oregonians because Oregon wai the first atate to make the
first Monday In September a legal holiday In 1887, seven
years before President Grover Cleveland signed a bill in 1894
making it a national holiday. The same day is now a holiday
throughout Canada and Puerto Rico. In Europe, Labor Day
falls on May 1 ; in Australia the day Is called Eight Hour Day
and its date varies in the various states.
This holiday has become a symbol In the U.S. of the end of
summer and the beginning of fall. Actually the autumnal
equinox falls on September 23, and the fall season lasts until
December 22 when winter officially begins. It was Peter J.
McGuire, founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters,
who suggested that a national holiday honor working people.
In 1882 the workers staged the first Labor Day parade in New
York City and began campaigning for the holiday.
Wasn't our weather here lovely? Most of those who left
Morrow County probably found pleasant weather also. Some
who stayed near their TV screens found pleasure watching
the end of the latest space flight, and seeing the first N.F.L.
football game and many hours of tremendous tennis. Some
stay-at homes caught up with reading magazines pushed
aside during the busy summer months. Some prudent people
spent time preserving fruits and vegetables by canning,
drying or freezing. Some enjoyed attending the reunion at
Valby Lutheran Church.
Schools began here this week and school sports will capture
much attention. There are new coaches In some schools who
are eager to try new strategies with their players. Returning
and new teachers are getting acquainted with their pupils
and with the families and communities of this county.
Most of the oil company crews are gone now. For the first
time in many months, the Northwestern Motel has its sign
showing vacancies. Probably the Hedman-Heppner Hotel
will be a bit quieter now, too. Of course the big Eastern
Oregon fall rush of deer and elk hunters will be here before
many more weeks.
Last week it seemed that several events somehow were
bunched on Tuesday evening. The teachers get-acquainted
dinner, the first fall Ladies' Night at the Heppner Elks and
the A.A.U.W. sponsored Chautauqua program, "The Celtic
Tradition in Story and Song." which was a good show at the
Junior High gymnasium. Experienced story teller, Rachel
Foxman, narrated the fascinating introductory slides, and
then she held the audience spellbound with her telling of the
early tales of Wales and Ireland.
When Foxman spoke of the first bard of Wales, Taliesin,
Borne of her listeners realized where famous architect Frank
Lloyd Wright found the name for his outstanding residences
near Spring Green, Wisconsin, and in Scottsdale, Arizona,
and for the Taliesin Fellowship for architectural students
which he founded.
Charlie Anderson, the musician who shared the Chautau
qua performance, has specialized in Celtic and British
music. He plays guitar, concertina, penny whistle and the
harp. Anderson made the harp he used in the program here of
walnut. After the show the two performers and a few
A.A.U.W. members and friends enjoyed further learning and
visiting at supper at Inez Erwin's home.
A great many Dutch Elm trees scattered around in
Heppner suffered from infestation this year which turned
their leaves brown and caused them to fall very early. The
trees should have stayed green much longer without this
disease that is caused by a virus carried by the leafhopper.
Owners who enjoy the great shade afforded by these large
trees have had their trees sprayed each y ear. However,
many trees are not sprayed and the disease spreads widely.
A friend told me that In some towns the municipality takes
the responsibility for spraying all the elms and thus keeping
this disease controlled. Those who treasure their elm trees
and want them to stay green and healthy think this would be
a great idea here in Heppner.
If you happen to be a reader of "Oregon" magazine,
perhaps you may have noted that the last page in the new
September issue has an article titled "Headlocks and
Heartbreak" by J. Kingston Pierce. It is about the Portland
wrestling scene. The opening two sentences grabbed my
attention! "She doesn't look like the type of young woman
who'd go ga ga over some paunching, sweating pro wrestler.
Honest. She's more the innocent. ex-Heppner Harvest Queen
sort, the type you'd trust at home looking after your kids and
a full refrigerator."
Well, I guess that isn't very helpful or very harmful
publicity for Heppner. I don't know anything about the writer
J. Kingston Pierce, but I wonder how he happens to know
about Heppner Harvest Queens?
Let's all of us get organized for school-year activities.
There are many such worthwhile programs which need
volunteer assistants. There are many helpful groups and
organizations, including more than a half dozen churches,
beginning fall schedules. There are young peoples' activities
eager for adult assistance. It would be sad to let the fine 4 H
programs here suffer 8ny from a dearth of leadership.
Don't Just sit home and feel lonesome. Join something.
Volunteer.
