-TV Around About By Justine Weatlwrford What a busy month was March. A new hospital admini stration under John Oschner began on March 5; the ownership of several Heppner businesses changed; the former Morrow County Creamery Building and Its new addition became the spacious home of Heppner Auto Parts, Inc. and Heppner Cylinder Head businesses; a new aviation company was formed out on Little Butter Creek ; Lexington's new park became Friendship Park and Heppner was on the way to having a new city well. The month's biggest day here, Saturday, March 17, brought a tremendous swelling of Heppner's Irish population for the msot successful St. Patrick's Day celebration so far. Rightly it especially honored Pete Lennon and his sister Maggie Mealy. Those who arranged and supervised the day's many activities lurely deserved praise. Many out-of-town visitors were most favorably impressed. Local businesses had a really great day. The dinner that night at St. Patrick's Church parish hall was served to more persons than ever before. The music there by the Lindsay Family and by Ron McDonald was delightful. The TOPS breakfast, the afternoon social times and the dinner at the Elks were all well attended, too. The KUMA broadcast, the Kilkenny Irish slide show, the brunch at the Elks Lodge, the kids coin scramble and roller skating and the sheep dog demonstration at the fairgrounds all drew good attendances and the dancing continued into the next day. The parade was joyfully musical thanks to the fine school band from lone and to the visiting musical groups from Baker and Athena. Everyone was cheered by the Irish family groups who participated. Terry Voltz has now become known as a succesful parade director. Next year's Merchants Committee will really be chal lenged to present a program equal to this year's efforts. There is some talk that it may need more than one day maybe most of a week. Wasn't it great that Election Day went so well here with all tax measures approved and with good people named to county positions. The one complaint rests with the turnout of voters it seems that too many just can't be bothered to discharge this primary citizenship responsibility. Those apathetic non-voters had better never complain about the decisions ituched by those who do vote. As Spring has arrived and our days are growing longer, it is good to have important annual rituals carried on. The naming of tone's Jim Swanson as Conservation Man for the year and the installation of tone's Queen Sylvia Ladd and Heppner's Princesses Bridget Greenup and Shelly Stroeber pleased everyone. It was good to hear the fair royalty and their faithful pennant bearers speak out at the coronation dinner and introduce their parents and family members. Also speaking out at this community affair were Rodeo Chairman Don Stroeber, who was M.C. for the evening; Fair Board Chairman Charley Daly and Fair Committee Chair man Jane Rawlins, who both gave pep talks about next August's Fair and Rodeo and who stressed the importance of community support and voluntary participation in the carrying on of the good county lair. Especially enjoyable were the reminiscences presented by Shorty Peck, a fair worker, and by former queen and present Fair Board Vice-Chairman Merlyn Robinson. Now we have moved into April. Its first fooling day is past. Its final Sunday which will see the ending of standard time and the beginning of daylight saving time again will arrive quickly after the world celebrates those annual Christian holy days Palm Sunday and Easter. In Heppner several people-pleasing events are scheduled . this month. First, the now well-established Rolling Hills Run this coming Sunday afternoon, April 8. Then a new event here, the First Annual 4 Wheel Drive Road Rally on Saturday, April 14, will begin at Cutsforth Park. The Child Identification and finger printing program set for the night of April II and 12 in the Heppner Elementary School Cafeteria can be a most valuable service provided to the community by the Lions Club, the A.A.U.W. and the Soroptimists. It fits in with national programs this month which focus on problems relating to children and happy, healthful childhoods. As warmer weather comes to stay, the humming of lawn mowers and the stretching of gardeners' muscles will make us know that as spring is here and summer is not far away.
