Now as it* sh"rt second month end* and we move into longer March, how we
all hope that our thinking sunshine" will really bring positive results, and
before our Irish joy breaks forth over March IS. 16 and 17. we will be
surrounded by our beautiful green again hills and new life will be re born in
lovely Willow I'reek Valley
One joyful project that seems pretty well assured is the coming
remodeling of historic Heppner Hotel Meg Murray deserves much praise
for "mothering this project, for spending lots of energy tune and
developing know how in getting it rolling She made a fine statement before
the very supportive Heppner Chamber of Commerce to the effect that the
soundly constructed hotel building in the center of town has been looking
»ad. looking like a community liability, and with the good support of all
citizens can become a real asset to our area ‘
Some of us had not known that the local odd Fellows lodge made a fine
contribution in getting the hotel project going by paying the Woo filing fee
required with the application for the loan fund Cheers to them'
Vfuiet. friendly rural communities which offer good sociability and many
opportunities for voluntarism, and which are surrounded hy attractive
mountains, lakes and rivers will surely be drawing more and more retirees
who know the\ would rather finish out their lives in this sort of environment
than in the hustle bustle and crime prone larger cities where they may have
lived during then working lives
You have probably read that Governor Atiyeh's Fourth Annual Volunteer
Recognition Week is coming in April one of his theme* since his 1979
inaugural has been 'Government can do many things, but it can't hire love
As all budgeting becomes more difficult with the cuts coming in federal
assistance programs, the re awakening of and appreciation of the
importance of voluntary workers like those who did so much during pioneer
days is happily again drawing attention It is good to note that the American
Association of t niversity Women here is planning to honor Morrow Countv
volunteers Just think a few minutes how much these unpaid individuals
give to our communities in loving service
From youth groups through senior citizens, as volunteers give to others
they often gain in personal growth, strength and understanding A hasty
listing of a few of the places volunteer services make our community a much
better place in which lo live would include our firemen, ambulance drivers,
persons on many boards, commissions, committees and auxiliaries
member* of civic organizations, those who help in libraries and museums,
garden club members who spread beauty, all church folks who provide
comfort and encouragement, lodge members who provide scholarship and
bolster civic pride and on and on
Isn't it great lo be reading the announcements of scholarship winners’1
How proud we feel to see young people achieving excellence in their studies
and setting lofty goals The organizations which provide their money,
assistance and encouragement to outstanding youth are surely investing in
America's most valuable asset
Were you surprised to see all the flags flying on Heppner streets last
Saturday'1 Those of us who are not too sold on having Lincoln s birthday
celebrated on February :t and Washington's birthday come of February 17
feel delighted that in Heppner. and in George. Washington, those who put out
the flags are holding to the "real" birthdays of our two greatest presidents
I won't be "talking" to you again until after we all enjoy Heppner s happy
celebration in rememberance of Morrow's Irish heritage over the weekend
of March H. IS. lfi, when we so hope bright sunshine will bring joyous
sparkle to this early springtime celebration of dear St Patrick s death See
you then'
