(fjE o x g z Mut/uuji D juu ) Cellular service comes to Heppner mu My cup perhaps runneth over, along with kitchen counter space and closets. It's so easy to take for granted a cozy shelter, home warmth and abundant foods, not to mention family and friends. Layers of warm clothing ward off winter's chill. But it does seem strange to see young people cultching expensive jackets while leaving their lower extremities somewhat exposed to the elements. However this is in line with today's fashions of wear ing shorts year around or even donning shorter skirts. However fickle the fashion world, there are some family customs that persist for traditional holiday meals. Yet I'd delight in passing on the experiences of chasing that turkey or goose through the muck, chopping off its head and the causing the kit chen to look as though it had been tarred and feathered. Pluck ing a bird indoors caused elusive feathers to waft to the ceiling. Then that unfortunate bird had to be shinged, eviserated, washed and carefully inspected for pinfeathers. How simple to purchase a tidy, smooth-skinned, plastic- wrapped turkey. No more hoarding dried bread for months. Along with the prepared stuffing mix there are cans of cranber ries and yams. For a quick fix there are salad greens ready to toss. Bake and Serve rolls add that homey touch. And the culinary expert can prepare a pie disguised in a store-bought pie shell. Times have changed since we used to stock enough flour to thoroughly dust an elephant. The rolling pin doesn't get wash ed as often anymore. That sourdough pot contributing to biscuits and sweet rolls plus endless loaves of light bread are staples that expanding waistlines can do without. Yet this traditional holiday food orgy brings to mind that it's time to find suitable family Christmas gifts. Many of today's gadgets, which are highly advertised, perhaps are only status symbols. Few of today's kitchens lack a toaster, coffee maker, a mixer and a blender or food processor. With a microwave oven it's much easier to keep the stove clean. How many kitchen counters or cupboards have storage space for all the appliances including a wok, electric skillet or griddle, waffle iron, crock pot, deep fryer, electric roaster and popcorn popper. Then there's the automatic bread maker, the coffee mill and the espresso machine, the juicer, the hot dog cooker and of course, the salad shooter and the food dehydrator. It's been less than 50 years since ranches in this area came on line for dependable electric service. The cooks of that former era can remember defending their space with a cast iron skillet as pots bubbled merrily on the old Monarch wood range. Today's chef probably spends more time at a computer than at the kitchen stove Brownies often come from a package and the cold cuts and bread for lunches are conveniently purchased at the store. Hooray for such conveniences. I don't even want to think about firing up a wood stove just to have hot water when outside temperatures reaches 100 degrees. However today's Christmas giving seems to boil down to disposable items like kleenex, unless the latest in electronic gadgets is a must on those "w ant” lists.

L o u is Butch Laughlin, Heppner, Mark Pointer, Lexington, and Ashley McCabe, lone, of Mor row County Grain Growers in Lexington and Wasco, traveled to St. Louis for an in-depth look at the latest in Case IH agricultural equipment. Among other products, they saw the next generation of Case IH Axial-Flow® combines. "The first Axial-Flow com bines, introduced nearly 20 years ago, redefined a good harvest, providing better quali ty grain and more of it from an exceptionally dependable machine," said a Case IH press release. The new 2100 Series machines provide the same superb grain handling and reliability while setting new in dustry standards for operator comfort and convenience." The new 2144, 2166 and 2188 combines feature an all-new cab, as well as upgraded elec tronics, hydraulics and power train. "I'm looking forward to getting these out in the field with my customers," said Laughlin. at the dealer meeting they received an update on Case, including its business and product development plans. Earlier this year, Case stock was sold in a public offer ing for the first time in many years. Immediately prior to that, the company appointed a new president, Jean Pierre Rosso, who has been spear heading important changes to improve product development and distribution, and customer service. Case IH dealers also had the opportunity to involve their parts and service personnel in seminars on more than 30 sub jects, as well as a parts trade fair featuring the latest products and services from suppliers allied with Case. Headquartered in Racine, Wis., Case Corporation is the second-largest maker of agricultural equipment in North America and the largest manufacturer and distributor of light and medium sized con struction equipment in the world. Case products are sold in approximately 150 countries through a network of about 4,100 independent dealers and distributors. Looney still in intensive care John Looney of Heppner, re mains in intensive care at Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital in Portland following a motor vehicle acci dent Nov. 7 that left him in critical condition. Looney sustained injuries to his head, ribs and left knee in addition to a bruised lung. Following the accident he was taken by ambulance to Good Shepherd Community Hospital in Flermiston and life-flighted out to the Portland hospital. Looney's wife Rhonda says that while he is improving dai ly, the family doesn't know when he will be able to return home. Following his discharge he will need lengthy physical therapy. "He has a long way to g o," said Rhonda. "H e won't be able to work for at least a year." She adds that she is grateful for the support given to her by the Heppner com munity. "The strength of this town amazes m e," she said. The Looneys have four sons, Bill 19, John a seventh grader, Matt, a sixth grader and Tony a fourth grader.
