4-H foods leaders and I got
together on December 2 at the
home of Mrs E C Daniels, Board
man, for a training session on
this popular 4-H project.
Alice Daniels has a large
kitchen in her Boardman ranch
home so the six leaders had
plenty of elbow room for food
preparation.
We began with a review of the
objectives of the 4-H food pro
gram which are preparation
skills, meal management plan
ning and buymanship, house
keeping details, eating for
health, table service, etiquette,
social graces, entertaining with
food, and sharing knowledge
with others.
The women then discussed fac
tors in teaching foods to young
sters such as patience, short in
terest span, safety, etc. Project
requirements for all five years
of 4-H foods were gone over and
I gave a demonstration on muf
fin preparation to show tech

Each region of the
world, each period in
history, has recorded
knowledge of the art of
brewing. Authorities
have found that, while
brewing methods varied,
one ingredient remained
constant wherever beer
of exceptional quality
was made. The one
priceless ingredient
was water.
Whether it be the British
Isles or the Continent, the
Old World or the New
... the character of the
brewing water is
largely responsible for
the excellence of the beer.
That is why Olympia
Beer has gained such
fame! Water that is
naturally perfect for
brewing flows from
Olympia 's own artesian
wells. It is this rare
brewing water that
achieves for light

that is refreshingly
different, yet always
just the same.

muffins were judged after they
were taken from the oven.
All the 4-H leaders had a
hand in preparing a "4-H foods
luncheon" which consisted of a
shrimp luncheon salad, green
vegetable, carrot sticks, muffins,
fruit pudding, and a milk drink.
(All a part of 4-H food project).
Table setting, dishwashing
and the "basic four" a guide
to good eating were touched
upon and a model program for
"Mealtime Fun" (Foods I) was
prepared.
Attending the training session
were: Mrs Douglas Drake and
Mrs Herbert Case of Heppner;
Mrs Perry Pummel and Mrs
Ward Honey of Irrigon; Mrs E
C Daniels and Mrs Delbert Car

Myron Watts, Boardman was a

I think all the foods leaders
felt they had a better knowledge
of the foods program after this
meeting and felt better prepared
to lead their 4-H clubs.

County agents N C Ander
son, Joe Hay and myself spent
the week of December 7-11 at
the annual conference for Ore
gon research, extension, and resi
dent staffs in agriculture and
home economics on the Oregon
State College campus.
This conference is quite a cli
max to the extension year as you
meet with agents and other staff
from all over the state; listen to
nationally known speakers who
are tops in their fields; attend
county agent's association meet
ings and banquets; and confer
ence with OSC specialists.
You feel like you've been "re
charged" by the time the confer
ence comes to a close.
You should perhaps be inter
ested to know that Charles A
Tom, wheat producer of Sherman
and Morrow counties, was one of
a panel of speakers that spoke
on "Human relations in a chang

December sees homemakers
shifting into high gear as they
prepare for the festivities. Each
year seems to get busier with
children requiring more cos
tumes, family traditions growing
and also the gift list! Any won
der the homemaker views the
approaching holidays with mix
ed emotions? Here are some do-it-now
suggestions that will help
prevent night sessions those few
days before Christmas.
Take advantage of meat sales
and roast a large cut of meat.
Cut it into slices and cover with
gravy. Freeze for a quick meal.
Make several batches of favor
ite cookies and freeze an assort
ment wrapped together. This
way variety is offered without
having to open a number of
packages.
Prepare foods now that must
mellow immediately. Fruit cake,
peppermints and various cookies
come under this listing.
Invest In plastic placemats
that harmonize with family dish
es and cloths. Informal meals
that take a minimum of prep
aration time and energy, plus
handy plastics that do not need
to be laundered, will save min
utes at a time that it is really
appreciated.
