Mrs Kooert reniana, mis Claude Graham, Mrs Gene Fer Chats With Your Home Agent By ESTHER KIRMIS GREAT DECISIONS . . . Sounds very regal and important doesn't it? But what is it? In a nutshell, "Great Decis ions" is friends, neighbors, teach ers and class mates talking over the great international issues of our time. These informal groups of six to fourteen people usually meet in a home and combine discussion with a sociable get together. An evening begun with "Decisions" will frequently end with coffee and cake. Oregon was pilot state for the entire country in developing the Great Decisions program which has now, five years later, spread to every part of the nation. Using materials developed by the For eign Policy Association (a non partisan educational organizat ion now in its fourth year), Ore gon citizens developed the Idea of a weekly topic series for adult discussion groups and school study based on reading or ob jective fact sheets. Combining discussion with simultaneous TV and radio broadcasts, newspaper i articles, public forums and li brary displays, citizens through out Oregon for the past five years I have lnlormed themselves on crucially important problems. Last year, primarily through the efforts of the Oregon State College extension service, almost all of Oreeon's 36 counties tar- ticipated in the program. Morrow county, however, has never participated in this Great Decisions program. This year we are attempting to organize dis cussion groups, because several of the topics to be discussed deal with the Oregon Centennial year. The introductory fact sheet is en titled "1859-1959 Building To day's Oregon." Things to be dis cussed under this topic include (1) Who were the builders of Oregon? (2) A century of state hood (3) Making of modern Ore-" gon (4) Can Oregon build on it's past? (5) Can we expand com merce and trade? Another topic is "What Fron tiers in Oregon's Future." This fact sheet includes (1) What challenges in a changing world? (2) Building a better life for HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, January IS, 1959 Oregonians (3) Building better communities and schools (4) Tooling up for the future in a world of change. The succeeding fact sheets deal with a world In crisis and revolutions. The United States, facing the most serious challenge in its history, depends 6n its citi zens. In our democracy, the basic decisions must be made by the people. Wise or foolish, inform ed, your opinion counts. After each topic is studied, each person can fill out an opin ion ballot to register his opinion. These ballots will be tabulated, the results made known in the community. Through special ar rangements these opinions go to the state's congressmen and to the state department and policy makers in congress. Rev Lester Boulden, pastor of the Methodist church here in Heppner, has been appointed Great Decisions chairman for the county. An Invitation has been extended to the heads of all civic and fraternal groups, churches, public schools, newspaper, and other organizations in Heppner to attend a pilot meeting where the "Great Decisions" Program will be explained In detail by Pastor Boulden and your exten sion agents to see if discussion groups can be organized in Hepp ner. The meeting is called lor Monday evening, January 19, 8:00 P M at the conference room oi the Bank of Eastern Oregon. If this proves successful, similar meetings will be scheduled in other parts of the county. If your "Coffee Kluch" would like to discuss something more uplifting than local gossip why not stop ud to the county agent's office and ask to see a copy of the fact sheets of "Ureat Decisions."
