TfUUHKS
Gene, who is a former 4-H
member of many years ago, is
farming the home ranch. He is
enthused over this club, saying
that anything he can do to help
the 4-H program is worthwhile,
as he has a family of boys and
girls who someday will be 4-H
members. He remembers the
start he got in livestock through
his club work, which now, tho
his interest was in Holstein dai
ry cows, has been converted to a
small farm beef herd. Gene met
with his club at the home of
club member Jean Marie Graham
on Sunday to complete a program
of work for the coming year.
Peggy is enrolled in her fifth
year of 4-H club work, and is
carrying agricultural projects of
sheep and beef with a home ec
onomics cooking project, too. She
has in the past four years carried
projects in both fat and breeding
sheep and beef, cooking and
knitting, proving that Peggy has
interests in and has taken an
active part in 4-H activities. As
a result of her participation at
county fairs and other 4-H events
she has many first-place ribbons
in sheep exhibits, taking first in
sheep showmanship in her first
year of club work. One of the
first 4-H members to carry a reg
istered sheep project, Peggy now
has a sizeable flock of registered
Hampshires. She has had the
distinctions of exhibiting a first
place fleece at the Pacific Inter
national Livestock Exposition
and winning the county award
given by the Oregon Wool Grow
ers Auxiliary for the outstanding
sheep project. Peggy was Pres
ident of the Willow Creek Chefs
Cooking Club in 1950 and is sec
retary this year. She was Vice
President of the Junior Stock
mens 4-H Club in 1950 and is
news reporter in 1951. Mrs. N. C.
Anderson and Gene Majeski are
her present leaders with Vernon
Munkers as leader in 1949 and
1950. She was first place winner
in the Home Economics judging
contest at the 1950 Morrow Coun
ty Fair and Rodeo. Winning the
Safeway Scholarship will pro
vide her with her first trip to 4-H
summer school at Oregon State
College. Safeway Stores sponsor
the 4-H Food Preservation and
Preparation demonstration and
the Dollar Dinner contests as
well as the breeding project. The
activities themselves are carried
out cooperatively with the Agri
cultural Extension Service of Or
egon State College.
