i" pi w f m Around About liy Justine Weatherford Oh what a variety of weather April brought to all of the U.S. Fortunately we had no tornadoes or earthquakes here, South Morrow County saw many activities taking place, such as the Uollling Hills Hun, the Four-Wheel Drive Rally, the finger printing of many children, the Heppner High Music Department's Spaghetti Feed, a remarkable Easter Week, the Soropllmist Senior Girls and Moms luncheon, some exciting athletic contests and a variety of to other events. Everyone was delighted by the Open House in the greatly expanded new location of the Heppner Auto Parts, Inc. and Heppner Cylinder Head and by the great new space added to the Burkenbine-McCahe's Central Market, Important peopla came or will be coming to this area: Joseph DeVito began his duties on April 2 as director of the Mental Heulth Services, Otto L. Burden began work as county Public Works Director, and we learned that Doyle McCalin will assume duties as new School Superintendent on July 1 . It is sad to see Matt Doherty leaving the county and to know that Sheridan Tarnasky is leaving the Home Health Agency on June 1. How good to know that the Heppner community is very concerned about the safety of children and is eager to see a fence erected along Willow Creek In Hager Park. When people speak out about local needs they demonstrate that they are thinking of community betterment. When citizens of the world really focus on peace, and speak out loudly for the elimination of nuclear and other weapons, perhaps world leaders will listen. After church Faster Sunday, while the sun was still shining Mary Goheen and I again climbed up to the cross on Heppner's east hill. We were so delighted by the various wildflowers we walked among-yellow, pink, lavender, blue, white. Beauty grows on that rocky hillside quite a climb alove Hock Street. How sadly weather beaten and neglected the landmark cross is. The wheel track we followed upward indicated that some vehicle had recently been driven right up to the fencing around the cross. How fine it would be if some group would again repair and repaint that old rugged cross that is more visible to many since the relocation of the Willow Creek Hoad. As we looked down on the Willow Creek Dam and the enlarging hike, I was thinking that it seemed strange that more folks don't make the hike up to that viewpoint which might be a good spot for a small park someday. When we started down we happened to walk in a partially circular direction below the cross and were surprised to come upon a large concrete "H" with "57" cut into its crosbar. So, about 27 years ago some group must have made quite an effort getting concrete up that far. The "H" is not visible very far- it is unpainted and is crumbling some. It seems like many moons have passed during the big improvement effort on the highway connecting Lexington and lone. Many tires have been cut badly by the sharp rock needed in the road building process. Now that most of the worst is over, in due time we can all look forward to smoother journeying between these two important south -county towns. I am already hearing reports of good spring fishing. The Carl McDaniels generously shared some of their early proof with me. Oregon's Primary Flection on Tuesday, May 15, is a big date for ail citizens to keep. The cover of the Voters' Pamphlet states that voting is the responsibility of every concerned and well informed Oregonian. We have a group of well -qualified Morrow County candidates running in this election. We need to indicate our feelings on two measures and to mark our preference for condidates for the President of the United States, for a U.S. senator, a representative to Congress, for Oregon ! secretary of state, treasurer and attorney general, for our state senator and state representa tive, for two state supreme court judges, for a Judge of the court of appeals, a judge of the circuit court, for a county commissioner and a county clerk and for party committee persons. Now we have reached May when the lilacs bloom in Morrow County and when all of the north temperate zone bursts with new life. It is easier for me to realize that the world south of the equator is getting ready for winter since I visited there during their very warm January summer. This month will see the Heppner Methodist putting on their Lawn Sale on the first Saturday. All mothers will be honored on Sunday, May 13. Many school ending activities, such as graduations will take place. A final all-county event will be the Pioneer Reunion and Picnic to be held at the county fuirgrounds on Sunday, May 27. Everyone is invited whether or not they are of early pioneer stoek-everyone's family must have pioneered somewhere at sometime. June will begin with the annual lone Church of Christ Auction on Saturday which always brings a crowd to that pleasant community. Heppner news bits Fdith C.Carter marked her 93rd birthday on Thursday, April 20, at the home of her daughter, Joan Reiber, 560 N. Minor, Heppner.

The Friday, April 27, Dist rict 10 Garden Club spring meeting in Hermiston drew six members of The lone Garden Club and three from The Heppner Garden Club (Theta Lowe, Jane Rawlins, and Adelle LaTrace). Every one was pleased with the day's program "Preserve the Col umbia Gorge." In the Flower show in con junction with the meeting, Jane Rawlins won a blue ribbon for the outstanding horticulture exhibt and the sweepstakes award for the most blue ribbons in the horti culture division.
