PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, 1929. JIT IRBIGONSUCCESS Club Work Big Feature; 0. S. C. Scholarships Awarded. (Mrs. A. T. Hereim, Boardman Correspondent.) The most successful North Mor row County fair yet held closed Sat urday night with a big dance with O'Sullivan's orchestra playing. The fair was held at Irrigon September 6-7, with a good display of products of the project The monstrosities in tie vegetable line were mon strous, the sunflower heads were almost as large as wash tubs, the melons looked luscious, the fancy work displayed excellent handiwork, the grapes looked tempting. That canning is not a lost art in this mod ern age was evident by the rows on end of fruits, jellies, preserves, pickles and meats, but that the mod ern housewife prefers to have her bread baked by a baker instead of the drudgery of the old method was shown by the lack of entries in that department only three loaves being entered and one plate of rolls. How ever, there were a number of deli cious-looking cakes and pies. Jess Badger was superintendent of the vegetables, Frank Frederick son of the fruits and melons, Chas. Saling of the farm crops, Hugh Grimm of bees and honey, Roscoe Williams of poultry. Mrs. Geo. Has kell and Miss Snow McCoy domes tic art, Mrs. Smith flowers and plants which were exceptionally beautiful, Mrs. Reiks, Mrs. Alquist and Mrs. Nick Faler domestic sci ence which had the greatest num ber of entries, Geo .Haskell live stock, always a small exhibit for local ranchers do not like to take their milk cows away from home for it always means less milk in the pail for a day or so. Outstanding was the boys' and girls' club work, Mrs. Lucy Rodgers superintendent of sewing and cook ing exhibits and Chas. W. Smith superintendent of boys' exhibits. That Mrs. Rodgers and Mr. Smith are beginning to see the fruits of their labors in this work was shown by the fact that there were 98 ex hibitors this year. Last year where one calf and a few sheep were shown, this year there were 19 calves and 25 sheep. Irrigon de serves special praise for her club work, most of her clubs completing work 100 per cent To Mrs. W. C. Isom who had charge of sewing, Mrs. L Coryell, cooking, Frank Frederickson, sheep, and Mr. Leicht, calf, should go much credit for this success. W. O. King, leader of the Boardman calf and lamb clubs, had an excellent showing, most of his boys and girls also completing their work. A truck load of calves and sheep were taken from here. All the first prizes in the lamb club went to Boardman members. It is hot here in the summer and chil dren lose interest unless they have constant encouragement, help and prodding on the part of both par ents and leader. There were 98 ex hibitors this year. Miss Helen Cow gill of O. S. C. judged the sewing and cooking and Richard Kuhener also from the college judged the sheep and calf club work. Prize winners in the various div isions were: sewing, division 1, Francine King first, Bessie Wilson Francine King, Boardman, first, Bessie Wilson, Irrigon, second Francine was the only girl to com plete her work in this club; division 2 sewing, Dorothy Isom, .Irrigon, first, Murl Farrens, Hardman, sec ond; cooking division 1, Norine Ol son, Boardman, first, Lillian Hango, Boardman, second; division 2, Dor othy Isom, Irrigon, first, Eleanor Corey, Irrigon, second. Owen Bleak man of Hardman received first for his work in the garden club and his sister Neva second.' In the Iamb club Delbert Machan of Boardman received first for the best ewe raiBed lamb for market, and Freda Frederickson of Irrigon was second. John Partlow, Board man, had the best bummer lamb for breeding purposes, and Donald Isom, Irrigon, had second best George Wicklander of Boardman had the best bummer lamb for market purposes, and Geo. Graves, Boardman, the best ewe raised lamb for breeding purposes. George Wicklander received the blue rib bon for the best bummer lamb for market, Clayton Shane, Boardman, second. Clayton had an especially well trained lamb which "led like a lamb." That a bummer lamb hai an equal chance with a ewe-raised lamb was shown by some of the fine specimens exhibited. The boys and girls showed a lack of training in -handling their animals at judging time but since this was their first attempt they will no doubt show marked improvement next year. The calves were shown in four div isions, the Jersey Jr. blue ribbon going to Mabel Cool of lone with Ernest Johnsted of Irrigon second. Jersey Sr. first went to Arthur Col lins of Irrigon and second to Calvin Allen, also of Irrigon. Wiley Bene fiel had the best Holstein in the senior class and Kenneth Duggan, Boardman, second. Delbert Machan of Boardman won first in the Hol stein Jr., and Verna Jones of Irri gon second. Through the efforts of County Agent Smith money was raised from various sources contributed by Heppner banks, business bouses and interested farmers for the champion in each division, and a $15 club scholarship to attend sum mer school at O. S. C. will be given. The fortunate winners of these scholarships are Eleanor Carey, Ir rigon cooking; Dorothy Isom, Irri gon sewing; Owen Bleakman, Hardman garden; George Graves, Boardman sheep; Mabel Cool, lone calf; Myrtle Green, Eight Mile poultry. Mrs. Cool of lone has offered a purebred Jersey calf to the winner of the champion calf next year. Saturday morning the 4-H clubs had a parade, lambs and calves be ing led by their owners and the cooking and sewing clubs forming groups of marchers and with the 13 calves and 25 lambs made quite a pretentious array. In the after noon the various clubs put on an entertainment before an audience that taxed the capacity of the gym nasium. Tableaux, a playlet, musi cal selections, recitations, duets, etc. comprised the program with Mr. Frederickson, sheep club, receiving the prize for a clever little negro comedy skit ending with a melon eating contest which proved popu ular, although some of the other numbers had taken more prepara tion. Geo. Bleakman and S. E. Notson of Heppner were judges of this program. The Pomona granges each had a booth this year which was a new departure and a pleasing one. Boardman carried off first prize for her booth, having scored the most points. The Willows grange booth was beautiful in colors and arrange ment but Boardman had a greater variety of products. Irrigon re ceived third. Only one farmer en tered the general farm display but his was a fine booth arranged by Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Reiks. Miss Irma Dennis, home economics teacher of Heppner judged the fan cy work and cooking. Walter Holt of Pendleton judged the fruits and melons and farm products. The Boardman Home Economics club has been working all summer filling a hope chest which was on display in the booth. It is a beau tiful chest and filled to capacity with things that would delight the heart of any prospective bride or mature housewife. This with a cov erlet were given away. The fair will be held next year at Boardman and it is hoped that our community will do as well as our neighbor. Friday, September 6, was Miss Francis Spike's birthday, so Mrs. Marschat and Miss Henry enter tained a few friends for the eve ning, having two tables of bridge. At the close of an interesting game a dainty luncheon was served. Pre sent were Miss Katherine Brown, Eldon Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Gorham, Miss Henry, Mr. and Mrs, Marschat and the honor guest, Miss Spike. Mrs. Glen Hadley was pleased to have her sister, Mrs. Ralph Gribble and family of Oregon City with her for a visit On Friday in addition to the Gribbles, Bert Bleakman and children and Mrs. Mary McDaniel of Hardman were overnight guests. All attended the fair on Saturday. That greater interest is being shown each year in the fair was shown by the fact that visitors were present from Echo, Heppner, Her miston, lone in fact from miles in all directions. Dorothy Isom and Verna Jones of Irrigon were the winning demon stration team at the fair and will have a trip to the state fair where they will demonstrate. They were members of the sewing team dem- onstrating on Friday. It is not j known whether Dorothy will get to go or not as she leaves shortly to attend the Cheney normal. If she cannot go, Mrs. Isom, club leader. must train another girl to take her place. Mrs. Elva Perry is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Guy Barlow. She came with Mrs. Ida Harlow and daughter Juanita f Monument who returned to their home on Fri day. A sort of summer flu has been prevalent the past two weeks. The Chaffees are having a siege this week. Mrs. Chas. Goodwin left this week for Burns where her husband is employed. Jess Mathis drove to Burns on Tuesday, driving his truck. On Friday evening members of the Greenfield grange put on some degree work at Irrigon some tab leaux that were well portrayed. On Saturday evening the Willows grange put on some fine floor work preceding the dance. Mr. Kuhener of the college who judged the club livestock at the fair stated his reasons for the var ious decisions. Many of the sheep were thin, he stated, and a number had weak backs. He was handicap ped also by having to judge Ram bouillets with black face or coarse wool sheep. One reason George Graves was awarded the championship was be cause of the excellent report he had, being the most complete and com prehensive of any of the reports in the sheep club and containing also the story of his work. Boardman girls who joined the cooking and sewing clubs will have until November 1 to complete their work, and thus will be able to ob tain their club pins, so if mothers will urge the girls on a bit they will complete their work. The hon ors in club work are unlimited for one having the patience, persever ence and ambition. William Harju spent the past week in Pendleton visiting friends and returned Monday evening.
