Eric, a junior, traveled with about 60 other football players and two coaches from around Oregon to England where they played two games of American football against local high school teams. On the business end of things, Eric’s team won a game and lost a game. They fell to the Stockport Falcons, 2-0, in six inches of slop py English mud in their first match up, but they walked over the St. Helen’s Cardinals, 46-6, in their se cond outing. The second game was played in Liverpool in a rugby stadium on artificial turf, a new ex perience for Eric. Eric was a starter on defense, playing outside linebacker. The boys had the opportunity to do a fair amount of sightseeing between games and practice. They were lodg ed at the Britannia Delphi Hotel in Liverpool, one of the nicest hotels in town. They toured the Church of England and even got to see the Queen and her motorcade as they were leaving the church. They spent a day in London where, among other things, they toured Old Scotland Yard and rode on “ the tube” . According to Eric, London was “ spotless” with no trash thrown about and well-manicured parks. This was quite a contrast to Liver pool which was not nearly so tidy. Eric reports that the natives treat B a rg a in London like a parlor used strictly for company but Liverpool and other cities are more like home where they don’t feel bad throwing their things around. Eric also enjoyed viewing the countryside which consisted of miles and miles of green rolling hills broken up by rock fences. He said the terrain was similar to here, main ly because of the lack of trees, but the greenness and the dampness reminded him of the Willamette Valley. One thing that did not impress Eric was the food. “ They call it Old English cooking,” he said. He said he found the food bland and the meat raw. He reports that he relied on the local McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut to stave off starvation. “ It was very exciting,” said Eric, noting that the trip was a great ex perience. He made some new friends and was able to sample a bit of another culture. Eric is the son of Joe and Anita Orem of lone.

Lynda Crane The Reverend Lynda Crane, pastor of Heppner Christian Mis sionary Fellowship, recently return ed from Moscow, USSR, where plans were made for taking mis sionary teams into Russia in the future. The Reverend Crane, along with Flo Ellers of Alaska, report hearing of empty grocery shelves and severe shortages. They said they experienc ed exorbitant prices and aft “ eXfctte1 ment among the population for the Word of God and the re-opening of their churches.” Century old church edifices, originally part of a Christian nation, were closed down by the govern ment over 70 years ago. “ Burning zeal for God’s truth has remained in the hearts of the people, however, and they now cry out to the world for evangelism, and ministry of the Gospel of God,” they said. Moscow has a population of over 5,000,000, with only 3,000 known Christians. Crowded living conditions were experienced first-hand. A Russian pastor and his family entertained the Reverend Crane and Ellers in their home, a tiny three-bedroom apart ment. This tiny dwelling housed 16 people with a baby soon to be bom. Public areas of the apartment building were dark, damp and soil ed but the personal living area was pleasant and remarkably orderly, considering the excessive crowding. This pastor was asked what word he would give to the American Church. According to Pastor Crane, he said, “ You spoke of hearts grow ing cold in America. Remember also, America, the blessing God has given you over and over. I have a story to tell you. A thief was arrested and put in prison. At that time the keys to a very important safe in the city were lost. He was offered freedom if he would open the safe with his sensitive hands. There were no instruments available. His sen sitive hands opened the safe. We NAPA HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS SEE FARTHER. DRIVE SAFER! LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF OROINARY HEADLIGHTS FOUR-LAMP SYSTEM «H46S1.5S. H5001,06 Christians must feel the pain of others. The government influenced the Church. The problem of the church in America is our problem as well. We have common problems and we must pray together for the problems of ail human beings.” Invitations were extended to Heppner Christian Missionary Fellowship to bring ministry teams to Russia to evangelize and teach God’s word. Plans are now being formulated to send teams from this Heppner base. The first such team will go early this summer. Heppner Christian Missionary Fellowship has functioned for the past six years, following a vision the Reverend Crane said God gave her in the early 1980s. This vision directed Heppner Christian Mis sionary Fellowship to send mis sionary teams to all parts of the world, the USA and the local area. Teams have since gone to Nigeria, Ghana, Mexico, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Russia, Canada and the Philippines. Within the USA, teams have ministered in Texas, Arizona, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Oregon. Currently, team leader, Jane McDougall of Canada, is in the Philippines for two months. On April 4, the Reverend Crane’s daughter, Kim, and Robbie Smith of Portland, will join her in the Philip pines foe two months of missionary ministry. Christians from many parts of our country join the Heppner Christian Missionary Fellowship teams. This fellowship is non-denominational and is affiliated with Full Gospel Fellowship International of Oregon and with Samaria Ministries, Santa Maria, Philippines.

Alice has just received a letter from Paula that contains an important clue. She confides this to only one of the girls who instantly snatches the letter and bums it. Alice may have made a fatal error in choosing her confidante. The killer strikes at Alice, cleverly making her death seem like a suicide. Only shrewd Eve rejects the suicide theory but the she, too, errs in her choice of a confidante.

Library district topic of meeting Formation of a Morrow County library district was the topic of a meeting held March 25 at the Irrigon City Hall. It was attended by representatives from Boardman, Heppner, and Irrigon. Mary Ginnane, rural consultant from the state library, was on hand to help with the planning process by providing comparisons with other library districts in the state and with the standards for Oregon public libraries, voluntary standards ap proved by the Oregon Library Association. Ginnane discussed the advantages of a county library district, including stability of funds, an elected board whose only focus is libraries, cen tralized planning, discounts from booksellers for combined orders, an automation system allowing anyone to know what books are in each library, and a professional librarian. The district would also be eligible for LSCA Federal Grants to improve library buildings or build new ones. Budget needs for personnel, facilities, materials, and transporta tion were explored. The benefits of a bookmobile versus a courier van servicing drop stations at smaller locations were discussed. Since on ly Heppner has an adequate library facility, alternatives for facilities at all other locations were explored. The task force hopes to have more specific information on the options available by the next meeting. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday. April 10, at 7 p.m. in lone. The agenda will include con tinuing work on a plan and propos ed budget for the district. The public is invited.
