Around About Justine Weatherford Several tlmci recently, there has been some discussion about the floats In the recent Rodeo Parade here. Many didn't understand the significance of what they saw as the sweepstakes winning float. The first float entered by the Heppner Garden Club rolled by. The Idea for the float was presented to the club by Babe Harris, who worked on Its construction along with Bill and Jane Rawlins and who rode in the flower-loaded pickup driven by her husband Bob. The center of the float held a real apple tree. Leading away from the tree was Johnny Appleseed (Pete Lennon) in striped overalls with a cooking kettle over his head. (Pete had kindly substituted for Bob Lowe who was not feeling like playing the role that day.) So Pele represented the old part of this year's theme "New Ideas from Old Trails." The new way was shown coming toward the apple tree in the person of Pradidth Thongdy, a young man dressed in modern sports wear, wearing a backpack and carrying a tape player which was playing the "Johnny Appleseed Song," that was inaudible much of the time because the fine Stanfield Junior Drum and Bugle Corps was placed Immediately following the float and its volume drowned out the taped song Young Pradidth and his family are quite new to America and are the first Laotians to live in Morrow County. A little research proves that there really was a Johnny Appleseed. His real name was John Chapman. He was born In Massachusetts in 1774 and lived until 1M7. He was known as a strange mixture of plant nurseryman, herb doctor and religious enthusiast. Early in the 1880s, he appeared along the Ohio River distributing apple seeds and sprouts. He accepted no money. It is reported he wore his single cooking pot over his head and carried a sack of apple seeds as he roamed about barefooted and simply dressed. "Chapman was religious; he preached the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg with force. To the Ohio frontiersmen, he seemed like an American version of a Hebrew prophet wandering in the wilderness. He combined the services of herb doctor and botanist with his religious sayings. He also served as a frontier messenger during the War of 1812. "By the time of his death, Johnny had become a legendary figure in American history. His apple trees strengthened the economy of the rich farming areas of northern Ohio and Indiana" according to the article written about him for the World Book by Thomas D. Gark. Last Sunday quite a few churches here marked their fall Rally Day with congregational meals breakfasts or noon diners. That morning's Sunday "Oregonian" held a fine article by its staff writer Eric Coranson, Tiny Port of Morrow Undertakes Expansion in a Big Way, which featured a picture of the port's new dock and of Port Manager Wayne Schwandt. "Circle City," which we usually call Boardman, was a busy place last weekend with its Harvest Festival. Now most attention will be turned to Pendleton's Round-Up. ' It is sometimes difficult for some of us to realize why we don't seem to have time for various activities. Each year more of us get caught up in time-stealing T.V. viewing. The recent championship tennis matches held my attention. Before long, I'll want to enjoy many hours of the World Series. It is so good that the public schools are rolling in Eastern Oregon. Many of us are disturbed that children and teachers in the state's coastal and valley areas are idle because districts have not passed school budgets. Very soon college and university people will be registering for fall classes. It Is exciting to hear that 17 of Heppner High School's 1983 graduates along with students from lone and Boardman-Ir-rigon are expecting to enroll at Blue Mountain Community College. The classes being offered In the Heppner area by BMCC look interesting some daytime and some evening choices are being given. The September "Oregon Stater" which comes to all OSU Beaver Alumni arrived last week full of pictures and names. The first picture atop its page two shows a smiling Lillie Currin Happold chatting with University President Robert MacVicar. Little attended the 1983 Golden Jubilee reunion in Corvallis last June. She represented the class of 1908 and was celebrating the 75th anniversary of her graduation. She was accompanied to the campus from Portland by her daughter, Elizabeth Lind, three granddaughters and a great-granddaughter. Lillie has both Currin and Happold relatives living in Morrow County where she taught when she was a young woman. The alumni paper states "Lillie is an exceptionally alert and sparkling 97. Some of her story and recollections will appear in an upcoming issue of the "Oregon Stater." Last week Birdine Tullis reported at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon that this year's County Fair was the best ever, but that unfortunately, attendance was down. Before next August perhaps some helpful citizens can come up with plans to promote a better response to the annual fair. Don't forget the Annual Soroptimist Rummage Sale on Saturday, Sept. 24. That day the 20th Annual Auction will be held in Arlington, too. As the days become shorter, we all certainly hope this area will continue to have its lovely fall weather with lots pi. . sunshine. sjbbbbbsbjbsjbsjsbssbjsjbbbbssbssbi School Lunch Menus Heppner High School Thursday, Sept. 15 -chicken, baked beans, fruit bars, vege table salad and milk.

The dairy refund program went into effect September 1 with implementation of the second 50 cent milk marketing deduction. To be eligible for a 1982- 1983 marketing year re fund, producers must reduce their commercial mile mar ketings for September 1, 1983 through September 30, 1983 by 8.4 percent from the Septem ber average of the two mar keting years that began Octo ber 1, 1980. To be eligible for a 1983- 84 marketing refund, producers must reduce their commercial milk marketings by 8.4 percent for that period October 1. 198.1 through Sep tember 30, 1984. Rank said. Acceptable documentation of milk marketings are pay ment receipts of statements from milk handlers that show both the amount of milk sold each month during the base period and the upcoming re fund period. Receipts for the refund period should also show the amount of money deducted for U.S.D.A's Com modity Credit Corporation (C.C.C.) to help offset the cost of the milk support program. Producers who sell milk directly to consumers should provide the county office with sales records and cancelled checks as proof of marketings and the amounts paid to C.C.C. Rank said that producers may establish their bases at A.S.C.S. offices any time dur ing the marketing year. They may file applications for 1982- 83 marketing year refunds from October 1. 1983 through December 31, 1983. Applica tions for the full 1983 84 mar keting year may be filed be tween Octolr 1, 1984 and December 31, 1984, The amount refunded will be the amount the producer paid to C.C.C. in excess of the first, nonrefundable, 50 cent deduc tion. If they wish, producers may request an advance of 60 percent of the refundable de duction paid during the first six months of the 1983-84 marketing year any time on or after April 1. 1984. Producers requesting this advance must furnish pertinent milk mar keting records and certify that (he required 8.4 percent re duction in marketing will be made for the entire marketing year. Both the milk marketing deductions and dairy refund program are authorized by the Omnibus Budget Reconcilia tion Act of 1982. These actions have been taken to reduce milk production and to reduce cost of Hie dairy price support program. Rank said. C.C.C. expects to purchase more than 16 billion pounds during the 1983-84 marketing year. lone 4-H'er takes champion award at State Fair Deena Hams of lone took a championship award in the final round of 4-H food prepa ration contests at the Oregon State Fair.
