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. .

Milk refund program begins
The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September IS, 1983 THREE
Dairy producers who wish
a refund of their second 50
cent per cwt. deduction for
milk marketings should es
tablish their base marketings
at their county A.S.C.S. office,
said Everett Rank, adminis
trator of the U.S.D.A.'s Agri
cultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service.
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.
