A wee bit o f Ireland
Newspapers offer glimpse
of earlier time
Richard Paris with a 1920s Heppner Herald.
Who needs fiberglas insulation
when you have the Heppner
Herald newspaper?
Richard Paris of Heppner
found an August 7, 1923, issue of
the newspaper used for insulation
under old linoleum in his house
when he was in the process of
installing a gas stove. The house,
the old Archer house at 315
Waters Street, was built in 1890
and survived the 1903 Heppner
flood, says Pans.
Pans also found issues of the
East Oregonian and the Saturday
morning Oregonian newspapers.

While some items in the Herald
were very dated (the death of
President Harding, for example),
other things don't seem to
change—there was a Central
Market in Heppner in 1923 and
voting on a school tax was just as
much an issue back then as it is
now.
A Hardman column in the East
Oregonian on October 26, 1933,
listed many local family names,
such
as

Casons and Leathers.
Eighty-six people were present for the senior dinner on March 1
and 18 meals were home delivered. Members of the Methodist
Church served. Blood pressures were taken before the meal.
Marian Murchinson conducted a tour of the apartments at 1 p.m.
Margaret Dubuque won the floral arrangement and Mary Wright’s
name was drawn for the first month's free rent.
The menu for the St. Patrick dinner on Wednesday, March 15, is
corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, carrots, lime Jell-O with pears,
rolls and Rice Crispy treats. Members of the Christian Missionary
Fellowship will serve. A guided tour of the apartments will be
given following the meal.
On Tuesday, Feb. 29, the volunteer group folded 4-H letters for
the Extension Service.
On Thursday afternoon, March 2, the office staff met to review
office procedures, telephone etiquette, Dollande scheduling, etc.
Two of the newest Senior Center Board members, Archie Padberg
and Doug Dubuque, were there to meet the receptionists. The
Heppner Senior Center is the only center in the district that is open
five days a week with an entirely volunteer staff.
Tuesday and Thursday exercises were held at 10 a.m., Tuesday
and Friday, pinochle was played at 1 p.m., with two tables in play.
Tuesday Bingo is played from 7-9 p.m. A movie was shown
Thursday.
The "Go-For-It" table is in operation again and in need of
useable articles to sell. This is a fund raiser for the Senior Center.
Also remember to bring in your Red Apple receipts. They are
totaled and turned in at the store once a month.
. An RSVP appreciation dinner for the volunteers will be held at
the center on Tuesday, March 21, at noon. All those RSVP
volunteers who wish to attend should make their reservations by
Wednesday, March 15. Names may be added to the list at the
office to be sent in or call the RSVP office to make your own, by
mail or telephone.
