Patrick’s .Senior Center Bulletin Board The names of two winners of the stick horse race and mutton bustin' at the Morrow County Fair and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo were reported to the Gazette-Times incorrectly for the Aug. 23 newspaper. Chance Ford Day was first place in the stick horse race in the three and under category; and Cody Day tied for third in mutton bustin'. Chamber Chatter By Mertyn M m a tn I.ifi hr - It was in August, 75 years ago, that women attained the right to vote as the result of the suffrage movement. Women have con tinued to suffer over many decisions ever since. It's been said that more than half of today's voters in this country are women; it's called political clout, I guess. Yet if a wife decides to vote differently than her spouse, it can raise a domestic cloud that makes the eruption of Mount St. Helens look pale. Equal rights for women, of course! Women can rear families, hold down full-time jobs away from the home and manage a household all at the same time. If they are super women they can sometimes squeeze in a hobby or find time for special in terests like the inspiring project of catching up on the mending. Then there's the affirmative action debacle. Whether an in dividual is a native or a cigar store mannequin, the most qualified applicant should be the one that is hired. Continued employ ment ought to be based on work performance and incentive. The subject about my work ethic never rears its head; so it must be the "work-for-grub" wage scale plus being the only qualified toilet bowl cleaning expert that keeps me employed. For me, af firmative action takes place under duress like when our well pump motor slowly died during fair week and household water was toted in a bucket. It was like running out of water during a two week dry elk camp. After hoarding water by the eyedrop perful, it's almost sinful to now let tapwater gush down the drain. I'm perhaps over-qualified for some affirmative action tasks. When it comes to equal rights in performing certain household chores, husbands often have more important things to do like watching a football game on t.v., planning a state-of-the-art deer hunting trip or calculating ways for the wife to save money. Meanwhile the so-called weaker sex spins her wheels mopping up the spilled jam. Or sometimes husbands insist that they can't effectively operate appliances to measure up to the wife's standards. In fact, it's often necessary for the wife to move the furniture so that the vacuum cleaner will clean the rug in places besides the middle of the floor. Yet these super-helpers have no qualms about hav ing the "little woman” stand around handing him tools in an attack on some inoperable or broken down item; even though outside help is often necessary after said item has been completely disassembled and looks like it had been in a tornado. Too, it's unfortunate that after one's children become older, they can not only out-talk a parent, but they can no longer be browbeaten into performing slave labor (their interpretation) for even simple tasks like taking out the garbage. When it comes to unsanitary conditions in a teenager's room, it might be simpler to close off that part of the house and call a fumigator. The parents of-college-bound students can soon rejoice. But the downside happens on those weekends when home is where they bring a month of dirty laundry and in just two days they can wipe out a well-stocked refrigerator. When they depart again, you can be sure that more of your household items are missing. But if these young adults complain about grueling college classes, you can tactfully remind them that a little more effort in high school could have prevented enrollment in bone-head English. Viva for women who exercise their right to vote. May they also teach their sons about fundamental household tasks in prepara tion for husband roles. Perhaps some men will never excel as gourmet cooks; more of the peanut butter survival experts. But they do learn by experience that red clothing can dye white underwear a brilliant pink in the washing machine. For the men who have become "M r. Moms", a big hooray! It's a step in the direction of affirmative equality for the sexes. Women have in deed come a long ways, usually finding someone to baby! Summit Springs Village P O. Box 687 - 1 3 3 S.

Yes, I'm moving again. Seems my average stay in one spot is around three years. This is normal for all Chamber executive directors across the state, except they move to a different town and I just move to a different loca tion in one town. Guess you're stuck with me! For the last (could it really be?) almost ten years, my of fices have varied, beginning with my car, my home, the Ex tension Office, to Ray Boyce's Insurance, to Bev's Bookkeep ing (which burnt to the ground right before Cycle Oregon), then to Heppner T.V., GEODC and now an office all by my lonesome provided by First In terstate Bank. The Chamber has appreciated the space pro vided by the various entities. It keeps the Chamber from in creasing dues! Come visit about Chamber and your community on Tues days and Wednesdays (and some Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays). It will seem strange to have an office all to myself. I'm always open for ideas regar ding St. Pat's celebration, Town it Country, new projects for Heppner, economic de velopment, retail, downtown renovation, fair and rodeo, etc. The door is always open, but if it isn't, leave me a message and it will be soon! Speaking of fair and rodeo...one and all are to be commended for the long hours and hard work that went into these community events. Those heading west for a quick vaca tion before school starts, be sure to stop by the Oregon State Fair and check out the Morrow County booth. Greg Smith and Dave Green have spent long hours getting the booth ready. We think you'll be pleased. Greg has been amaz ed at all the donations of time, talent and money that have been generously given to the project. That's Morrow Coun ty! When we all work together, not only does "Your fun go fur ther at the fair", it goes further everywhere. Next week: Chamber busi ness meeting for all members at the Elks at noon.
