Ruth Locust start fall meetings
Ruth Locust Chapter No. 32,
Order of the Eastern Star,
resumed regular monthly
meetings on Monday evening
with a full slate of newly install
ed officers.
Leaders for the new year are
Pat Hyatt, worthy matron, and
John Wood, worthy patron,
with the following elected and
appointed officers: Gloria
Guthery, associate matron;
Stewart Guthery, associate pa
tron; Dot Halvorsen, secretary;
Lorraine Ladd, treasurer; Susie
Cooper, conductress; Rosalie
Meads, associate conductress;
Sylvia Sandford, marshal; Ken
neth Smouse, chaplain; Mary
Helene Shaw, organist; Florene
Robinson, Adah; Katherine
Lindstrom, Ruth; Frances
Smouse, Esther; Alice Hansen,
Martha; Laura Searl, Electra;
Lucille Berry, warder and
George Bennett, sentinel.
A report on Grand Chapter
held in Pendleton in June was
given by jr. past grand patron,
Stewart Guthery. Guthery said
it was a very successful conven
tion at which the elected del
egates voted to allow the full
membership in Oregon a vote
and full participation in the
business of Grand Chapter,
rather than the chosen
delegates to represent them.
The changes will begin with
next year's convention which
will be held at the Pendleton
Convention Center.
All benevolent projects of the
Grand Chapter were most suc
cessful,* said a group spokes
person. It was announced that
the Cancer Fund, begun about
1970, has contributed $825,000
to date. This fund is annually
given to Oregon Health
Sciences University for cancer
research. Other projects in
clude the Eastern Star awards
for religious training, which
awards about 25 scholarships
yearly; the Home Endowment
Fund, which supports the
Masonic and Eastern Star
Home at Forest Grove; the
Shriners Hospital and other
special projects chosen by the
worthy grand matron.
The next meeting will be Oct.
9, when Sue Mills of Klamath
Falls, associate grand conduc
tress, will be here for her official
visit and school of instruction.
A potluck dinner will be serv
ed at 6:30 p.m. with members
bringing salads and desserts.
The Eastern-Central Oregon
Assoc, will meet at Cherry
Chapter in Cove on Sunday,
Sept. 24. Members are invited
to bring salads and desserts for
the noon luncheon preceding
the meeting.

Jane Rawlins to travel to Poland High School rodeo team lists results
Jane Rawlins of Valby
Lutheran Church has been
selected by the Oregon Synpd's
Global Missions Committee to
be one of 14 representatives of
the Synod to the Evangelical
Church of the Augsburg Con
fession (Lutheran Church) in
the Republic of Poland. She
and the others will leave
Portland on Monday, Sept. 18
and return Tuesday, Oct. 3.
The purpose of the trip is to
gain better understanding bet
ween the Lutheran Churches of
the two countries and to
establish a companion synod
relationship between the
Oregon Synod of the Evangel
ical Lutheran Church in
America and the Kosciol
Ewangelicko - Augsburski w
PRL, said Reverend Stan Hoob-
ing pastor of the Hope-Valby
Lutheran Parish. Both churches
have about the same number of
congregation and pastors, but
differences in population and
area. "It will be a chance for
Bishops Jan Szarek and Paul
Swanson to meet and share
ministry concerns," said the
Rev. Hoobing. One of the goals
of the program is to establish
sister congregation. Rawlins
has been teaching various
Polish phrases and incor
porating them in the worship
services over the summer
months.
Students receives sch o larsh ip s
The University of Idaho has
awarded over $2.7 million in
scholarships to new and conti
nuing students for the 1995-96
academic year. Brent Sheirbon
and Jim Tellechea, both Lex-
ington, were among those
receiving scholarships. Sheir
bon and Tellechea both receiv
ed the Charles Ambrose
Adams award. Tellechea also
received the Washington Water
Power scholarship.
One doesn't have to leave Heppner to view scenic beauty. The
Heppner Garden Club knows how to stage a progressive garden
party. There are hidden treasures in city dwellers' backyards.
Gee, those dirt dabblers can grow more in the limited space of
once-barren unlevel lots than I could grow on 40 acres. Maybe
it has something to do with my irrigating technique using what
my grandson labeled as "th e sprinkler head from hell".
Some 30 plus years have gone into the development behind
houses belonging to Daisy Collins and Mary Goheen. One could
get lost in a forest of trees. While "oohing and aahing" at that
steep hillside, abundant with plants and flowers, members and
guests sampled tasty hors d'oeuvres and Daisy's homemade
wine. Further taste testing on my part and I wouldn't have been
able to distinguish between flowers and trees. I could only marvel
at the work that has gone into making and maintaining such a
hillside attraction.
Roses and flowers in the Riley Munkers' front yard along with
the magnificent cedar and spruce trees in back speak of lots of
work. They have their own source of Christmas greenery and
I suspect that more boughs of cedar will be sacrificed for
Christmas wreaths. After taking a minute to "smell the roses",
it seems that some roses aren't worth a scent. Meanwhile guests
sampled delicious fruit nestled in an artistically carved
watermelon shell.
An eye-catching rock garden including a wishing well at the
Adlard home is hidden from viewing on the street side. All that
rock and dirt toting has commanded a strong back and dedica
tion. And the Laceys have updated the former Justine Weather
ford yard into an inviting garden scene complete with hot tub,
deck and a covered barbecue area. Janell's sunflower patch may
be partially "for the birds" but her flowers bring human
enjoyment.
The trumpet vine in the middle of the Rawlins' patio was in
full glory complementing a host of petunias, geraniums and
marigolds plus other flowers that anyone would die for, heaven
forbid. A vine-covered shed there is the best "cover-up" job in
town. Jane must have a flock of genies, including son, Tom, to
grow and water all those posies.
Master gardeners and "w anna-be's" trooped along to admire
the flowers and landscaping. At various stops there were taste
treats. From appetizers to dessert, it was a food lover's holiday.
Garden fresh corn from the Rawlins' patch would make even
a scarecrow clap hands. The chicken and brocolli casseroles were
scrumptious. Yum!
Trust me to pig out, though I didn't get to complete this tour;
therefore missing some of the highlights. It's amazing that these
gardeners find time to provide beauty on Heppner's Main Street
which outshines the flower beds in front of the Portland VA
hospital planted by other flower clubs. But how do these women
keep their hands so nice, when mine usually look like bear paws.
For instance, I became Grandma Black Bear after riding drag to
bring cattle home last week, but that's another story.
Be sure and invite yourself to take a peak at some of these yards.
Before the frost hits, take a close-up at the Rawlins' dahlias in
full bloom. If the "Rest the West" advocates could see this sam
ple of increased productivity by rural area folks, I'd doubt they
would recommend turning formerly bleak areas back to cheat
grass and weeds. However the no-growth managers, the en
dangered species fans, the wetlands regulators and the wilderness
perpetuators all seem to have a common cause which is to limit
healthy growth in this part of the state while the rich loam of
the Willamette River region has become another Silicon Valley.
