Chats With Your

By ESTHER KIRMIS
The organization and re-organization
of 4-H clubs seems to
occupy my time these days. Oct
ober seems to be the month for
this activity, and I am trying to
make contacts all over the
county.
Tuesday of last week, 16 girls
visited the home of Mrs Robert
Jones who is starting a 4-H
knitting club. We had nine-year
old girls up through high schoal
seniors that showed interest. Sue,
Mrs. Robert Jones, put out a cry
for help. Mrs Bruce Spencer has
consented to help lead the club.
This week they received their
4-H knitting material and were
to bring their knitting needles
and yarn to learn the first steps
in knitting.
I also spent some time in lone
visiting leaders and prospective
4-H leaders. There, is interest in
a beginners foods and a begin
ners clothing club besides the
three clubs which were organ
ized in previous years.
We are making a letter sur
vey of girls in the lone com
munity to determine how many
clubs and leaders will be need
ed. Concern was also expressed
that there was no 4-H club for
young boys In the lone com
munity. With several interested
mothers working on the idea we
might come up with a boys club
in either outdoor cookery, pho
tography, electricity, or ento
mology. The field is wide open.
Irrigon 4-H leaders are on the
ball making plans for the com
ing year. Mrs M E Hadwick and

Mrs Larry Schaad, the spark
plugs of this activity, have done
some shuffling in the clothing
clubs and have come up with
the idea of having one club for
the grade school youngsters and
one for the high school girls.
"The Happy Sewers", Mrs Had
wick's club of grade school girls,
have already organized with
Mary Gerberding as president;
Susan McCoy as vice president,
Shirley Jackson as secretary;
Gloria Senn as news reporter;
and Sherry Williams as song
leader.
These girls are enrolled in
"Sew It's Fun" (2nd year cloth
ing;) "Charmingly Yours" (3rd
year clothing) and "Teen Wise
Clothing" (4th year clothing).
Members, besides the officers
listed above, include; Pamela
Hubbert, Georgene Hash; Linda
Senn, and Sheryl Witherspoon.
Mrs. Fred Murtishaw, Irrigon,
will act as assistant leader with
Miss Ann Schmeder as junior
leader.
Mrs Larry Schaad will super
vise the activity of the high
school group as soon as they organize.
Mrs Hadwick and Mrs Schaad
are also sampling the interest
in continuing the boys foods club
which was organized a year ago,
They have arrange for a 4-H
program to be given at the Nov
ember 16 Irrigon P-TA meeting.
Exhibits will be displayed and a
small style show is planned. Pins
and awards will be presented
to boys and girls that completed
this past year's 4-H club work.
I took the "Hawaiian Kit" over
to Irrigon on Thursday, October
8, and sat in on their extension
unit meeting at the home of Mrs
Maxwell Jones.
Mrs Margaret Weaver, Mrs
Marguerite Houghton, and I pre
sented a travelogue of the Ha
waiian Islands with the aid of
colored slides and native objects.
I think we all felt we had learn
ed a great deal about our 50th
state and it will revive our in
terest in our pen-pal exchange.
I found Mrs Rose Titus, chair
man of the Irrigon unit, doing
a fine job in presiding over the
business of the unit.

Over The
Tee Cup
I
By Jackie Labhart
I wish to apologize to you golf-. 4 and in trying lor her birciy
ers for not .brewing your weekly
cup of tee talk for the last
month; due to hunting season,
fall housecleaning and other
numerous and sundry chores, my
golf clubs have been somewhat
idle, therefore no ingredients for
this "cup."
But this aromatic autumn at
mosphere has become too intox
icating and I have finally suc
cumbed to its tantalizing spell.
Ton golfing gals turned out for
our weekly ladies day competit
ion and vou might say the
weather certainly suited us to a
"tee." Those playing were Cork
Norene. Hester Creswick, Gene
Case, Hazel Mahoney, Vi Lan
ham, Inez Meador, Dee Gribble,
Marie McQuarrie, Coramae Fer
guson, and myself. Vi shot low
gross score for the day, and
Coramae and Hester tied for
haying the lowest combined
scores on No 3 and No 5 holes.
LADIES DAY OBSERVATIONS:
Inez parring the No 3 hole (her
first par since she started play
ing, which hasn't been very
long) . . . Dee wearing new
ventilated type golfrhg attire. . .
Gene worrying about the bees . . .
Cork driving the green on No
'winged" her putt too much and
ended up by taking a 4 on the
hole (needless to say the "Cork"
popped) . . . Maxine Gray bring
ing coffee and homemade cook
ies to our rest stop at the No
7 hole.
ATTENTION GAL GOLFERS:
Tee off time for ensuing ladies
days this fall will be at 10:00
Tuesday mornings.
A beautiful new addition to
our golf course Is a handsome
glass case bulletin board, which
should make a grand weather
proof place for all handicap list
ings and other golfing gab.
