"0l"t 'I HHgpussjn The Heppner Gazette Around About By Justine Weatlwrford On this last Thursday of tills 10th month, I shall attempt to recall and reflect upon some happenings here between September's last Thursday and today, A month ago fall activities were well started, citizens were preparing for winter cold by hauling lots of firewood, by having flu shots, by getting set for the rush of hunting season and by worrying about the coming Increase in the cost of electricity. There was much alarm In our area about the spread of toxic weeds. High school sports for both boys and girls were well underway at the three county high schools, and 4-H week brought achievement recognitions and pleas for more volunteer leadership. The distressing matter of the burglaries at mountain cabins was cleared up pretty satisfactorily and some of the stolen articles were recovered. Bird hunting drew more folks toourarea. State Senataor Eugene Tlmms from Burns came visiting and told the Chamber of Commerce about various financial problems which were considered by the state legislature. An open meeting for persons enthusiastic about forming a community theater group drew aboaut 30. Committees were formed and organizers Jane Rawlins and Cheryl Greenup slated a second meeting for Oct. 17 when reports were given considering various 'possible productions. The group now feels that a non-musical may be ready for late January and a musical for sometime next May. On October IS new and changed laws took effect which can ground drinking drivers for five years and can inaugurate action against uninsured drivers. Police were given new authority to cite and arrest drinkers. It was good to have Dewey Kennedy, who worked in the Condon area many years, honored by the Pioneer Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and Nursing Home as the Resident of the Month. As the fall season cooled, the rash of Saturday yard, garage and rummage sales began to end. During the big summer sale season many residents have found the practice of attending these sales most interesting and practical. Several Important agricultural programs were held during the month for cattlemen, and wheat and other crop growers. Much discussion was stimulated In this area and throughout the state concerning tax changes. The closing of some state schools and the uncertainty about tax matters that were not settled during the recent special session of the legislature which did plan for the voters to consider a sales tax plan next spring are forcing the public to be ready to make a big decision about significant changes. The arrival of our county tax statements last week probably stimulated more serious discussion in homes and businesses here. Because I went traveling with a fine group of area ladies during the first half of October, I missed several activities I usually enjoy, such as the annual meeting of the Morrow County Historical Society. However, it was good that we returned home in time to observe Heppner High's homecoming activities, the good parade and the good football game. Thursday's Moonlight Madness Sale from 7 to 9 p.m. should draw many folks into downtown Heppner where merchants and various organizations will offer special buys and prizes. Some of the plans for that evening include a costume contest which will see prizes of gift certificates being awarded to a man, a woman and a boy and a girl whose costumes are judged best by a committee of merchants. Most merchants will be costumed all day. The Soroptimists International members will sell caramel apples and popcorn balls and give away samples of soda pop and will offer the last chance to buy tickets on the afghan drawing for the benefit of the E.V. Bievins fund. The afghan will be presented to the lucky winner about 9 p.m. near the entrance of Peterson's Jewelry. The Boy Scouts' cake walk and firewood drawing will take place at Les Schwab Tire Center where the. Heppner Lions Club will show a kids movie for a nominal charge beginning at 7:13 p.m. Next Sunday, we will all set our clocks back to standard time; this has been a regular ritual since 1966 when the U.S. Congress established uniform daylight time after several irregular, unofficial, earlier trials of the plan to allow more daylight hours during the warmer months between the last Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October. Be sure your calendars are marked for the annual Columbia Basin Co-op dinner meeting on Thursday evening, Nov. 10, and for the big Annual Artlfactory and Greens Workshop coming Saturday, Dec. 3 both In the Fair grounds Pavilion Building. It has been kind of folks around here and out of town to tell me they are missing my weekly writing efforts. My next monthly column should appear during Thanksgiving week. r most advanced design 4WD Case ever built.
