The high school class reunions and the Memorial Weekend picnic drew many former residents back to Morrow County. Groups have been taking off for May outings and sightseeing trips, such as the County Historical Society and Senior Citizens from Heppner and lone, and families that have been Impatiently waiting for the prolonged spring rains to stop. Organizations are sending delegates to conventions and conferences In Oregon and elsewhere. Eighth graders from Heppner have again traded places with youths from Lynch Terrace School east of Portland. Candidates, voters and election workers kept busy with the primary election. The Extension Women honored Delpha Jones. Cara Costa was sworn in as a member of the Heppner City council. The planning for the recreation area beside the lake created by the Willow Creek Dam was anxiously reconsidered by the Heppner Development Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce and the Army Engineer Corps. It was Interesting to learn that Portland's Mayor-elect, Bud Clark, had a grandmother who lived In the Little Butter Creek area. Much confusion beset flag flyers over when to fly their flags Memorial Weekend. The Heppner Legion Post chose to have flags up on Main Street on Sunday. Many calendars proclaimed Monday, May 28, as Memorial Day. Old timers knew that the holiday called Memorial or Decoration Day which began in 1868 was originally programed for every May 3oth, until the big swing to more three-day weekends caused it to be shifted to the last Monday in May by most of the U.S. So some householders flew flags on the one, two or even three posoible Memorial Days.

It seems one family with roots in the old south chose to display a Confederate flag. Hundreds of persons had visited the cemetery by Sunday evening and more came on Monday with flower remembrances. The overflow crowd at the 1984, sunshine-blessed Pioneer Memorial Picnic surely made it the most attended sit-down dinner In county history, but some folks, recalling the 1978 U.S. Bicentennial wagontrain stop at Cecil and remembering that toward 1,000 attended the big barbecue hosted by the Krcb Brothers, think that may have been the "largest-ever" picnic. One sad news item circulated at the Doherty-hosted picnic was that Cecelia (Kenny)Bucknum, one of the two living grandchildren of Irish pioneer Catherine Grant Doherty, broke her hip the Wednesday before and was taken to the hospital In Pendleton. Helen (Doherty) Dyer, the other grandchild, said this accident was a very great disappoint ment to Cecelia and to all the family. Next year the picnic's ethnic emphasis will change from Irish to Swedish as the Louis Carlson Family takes charge. Quite a few changes have been taking place in the south county business community. Heppner's mayor (until the first of next year) Cliff and wife Cindy Green are now operating the Coast-to-Coast store. The Burkenbine-McCabe Central Market has about doubled its size and has changed its front. Those changes were made possible when Heppner Auto Parts and Heppner Cylinder Head (DeSpain enterpris es) took over the enlarged and remodeled Morrow County Creamery Building. The Mabens of Court Street Market have greatly enlarged and improved their store inside and have built an attractive brick planter across its front. Swanson's Insurance at lone proudly showed off its new office at a recent Open House. Those of us without children in school don't regularly hear about some local school problems. We understand that all over America the matter of celebrations for high school graduation nights is causing much concern. Many people agree that a big party may be in order. Keg parties have become traditional here and lots of other places. They are accepted by many as "rites of passage" from high school days into the adult and very real world. A trend has developed in school districts, usually led by parents' groups, to try to put on safe and sane graduation celebreations. Now some organizations in Heppner were asked to help fund a chartered flight to Portland for dinner and entertainment which some parents projected with approval of their Heppner seniors. High School Principal Jim Bier said the projected outing would not be a school-sponsored affair, although school buses could be used to travel to the Pendleton Airport and back to Heppner. . Many of us have not heard the final planning for the night of Friday, June 1. We all are proud of the graduates of our county high schools. We want them to be happy at oraduation time.

Country Store sale Lack of funds keeps grads 'on the ground' and At the May IS meeting of the central committee of the so uth Morrow County Youth Commiaion plans were begun for a "senior party" which, it was hoped would entice the graduating seniors away from the unofficial senior kegger which traditionally follows commencement exercises. The committee envisioned chartering an airplane to fly the graduates to Portland for a late dinner and entertain ment at the Rhlnelander res taurant. THe management of the restaurant agreed to stay open late to serve the Heppner grads, and arrangements were made with Horizon char ter service for an airplane, however, the committee was unable to raise adequate funds to cover the cost of the air plane and the dinner in such a short time.

Next year, we'll know to start earlier and have fundraisers." A less expensive party, the commit- I tee felt would not be spectac ular enough to have the desir ed effect of luring the grads away from the traditional celebration.
