Chats With Your
Home Agent
By ESTHER KIRMIS
If anyone passed by the little
park behind the Morrow county
courthouse on April 22, I'm sure
they thought It was just another
picnic. But this one was differ
entit was a picnic with a pur
pose! The picnic was a project train
ing meeting for the Morrow coun
ty extension units on barbecuing
their unit lesson for May.
With the generous assistance
of D E Hudson, courthouse care
taker, we set up shop for the
day by the spacious fireplace
(which even had running water).
A.; manner of charcoal burners
were used, varying from the
courthouse wheelbarrow and a
5 gallon grease pail up to an
elaborate grill complete with
hood and an electrically turned
spit. Funny part, each served
equally well.
The 18 project leaders were
divided into four groups to pre
pare an outdoor meal that con
sisted of barbecued chicken,
shish kabobs, foil grilled vege
tables and fruit, ala pllaf, toast
ed garlic bread, fruit dumplings
and campfire coffee.
The Oregon extension depart
ment has printed a new pam
phlet called "Outdoor Cookery
for the Family" which Is excel-,
lent. It Includes Information on
equipment for outdoor cooking,
meat buying guide, tips on bar
becuing meat, suggested menus,
recipes, and outdoor cookery for
large groups. These bulletins will
be distributed to all the unit
members at their May lesson.
We have a few extra copies at
the county agent's office so If
you'd like one Just call In.
More and more families are
discovering the enjoyment and
pleasure of cooking food out
doors. It fits with our pattern of
living In Oregon, doesn't It?
Project leaders who attended
included: Myra Skoubo and
Gerry Morlan, Boardman; Mar
garet Blake, Marie Martin and
Pat Brindle, Lena; Millie Evans
and Dimple Munkers, Lexington;
Shirley Palmer, Mary Campbell,
Marilyn Bergstrom, Rhea Creek;
Joanne Warren and Mary Holtz,
lone; Lucille Coleman and Isa
belle Jones, Irrlgon; Barbara
Witherrlte and Mrs Wm Doherty,
Pine City; and Bebe Munkers
and Mabel Heath, Heppner.
Mrs John Bergstrom, Mrs W A
Ruggles, Mrs Anne Smouse, Mrs
Jasper Myers and myself went
calling over to Umatilla county
last Saturday, April 25. The oc
assion was the Umatilla Home
maker's Festival held In the
multi purpose room of the Haw
thorne school in Pendleton.
The Centennial theme prevail
ed with many of the women ap
pearing In sunbonnets and long
dresses. The program was under
the direction of Miss Frances
Harvey, Umatilla county exten
sion agent.
Speaker for the ocasslon was
Dr Frank B Bennett, president of
Eastern Oregon College, La
Grande. Ills talk entitled. "Lest
we Forget," outlined the progress
made In homemaking since pio
neers came across the plains to
Oregon. He stressed, however,
that responsibilities to our fam
ily are greater now than ever,
because of the spoeded-up pace
of living. He quoted Sam Leven
son's (well known TV person
ality) 10 commandments for par
ents. I think they bear repeating:
