Ma> I**K7 surely hrough u \ a variety There were some very warm Jay»
anti some guile cool ones Sonic expected happening ami some unusual
events brought joy and sorrow In many ways the month repeated the pat
tern set by other Slavs in Morrow Countv
Some lolks might know o f a month with a greater spread in temperature,
but it would be hard to match the change Irom the nearly UK) degrees of
May 7 . 8. and 9 and the drop into the low thirties that same about ten days
later Other homemakers may have put away a blanket or two, as I did.
and then needed them bask on the bed
Having Memorial Day some at its earliest possible date was surprise to
some ot us who had forgotten that federal law had established its slate as
the last Mondav in May bask in I9 7 | Therefore, this year brought the
holiday to Mas I V as the last tlav ot the month. May H . tell on Sunday
Before the I'D I law Memorial Day. »*r Decoration Day hasl been celebrated
on May X). the slate chosen during C ivil \kar years when the custom «»I
honoring our war slcasl was establishs'd As the population grew and many
lamily members moved away from their roots and holislay travel over longer
distances became more custsnttary. Americans began asking l\»r more three-
day holidays, and the tederal government responded
Although some think ot Memorial Dav as the beginning ot summer, most
ot us don't really say summer's come until alter public schools end and
the third week ot June arrives
Durng the brief, hot pre summer" ot May v second week, a Heppncr
( iarden Club tour group s first goal was to see the Leach Botanical < iarden
on upper Johnson Creek near 122 and Powell in S K Portland which com
memorates John R I each the son of an outstanding Ixxington lamily that
came to Oregon in IHA2 John and his wile l ilia, a botanist he met at Oregon

flowers, shrubbery and trees on their attractive acreage which they left to
be cooperatively sponsored by the City ot Portland Bureau ot Parks and
Recreation arid l eash (iarden Triends (members ot S I Portland Garden
