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."
