I960 school superlnte ndent's wife went to Texas in 1945 and left five little 4-H girls stranded. Someone had to take over," de clares Mrs L A McCabe, lone. Oregon, In her matter-of-fact way, "and with my own daugh ter, one of the five, guess who got elected?" That pretty well tells the be ginning of the 15 years of 411 club leadership of Ruth McCabe, lone farmwife, who was recog nized for her outstanding a chievement at the filth annual 4-H leaders banquet of Morrow county on January 6 at the American Legion hall. County agents N C Anderson and Esther Klrmis presented her with a pearl clover pin, a symbol of 15 years of 4-H leadership. Looking back over the 15 con tinuous years of leadership, Mrs McCabe recalls the faces of some 45 girls who were enrolled in the program under her. Records in the county agent's office show these girls carried close to 150 projects in clothing, foods, food preservation, and home improvement. "The majority of them are now married and have families of their own," comments this amaz ing mother of five, "I have a great pride in them as I see them take their place in our community ae homemakers and leaders." it Is interesting to note that four of the first five members are living in the county or near by. Mrs Dean Rohde (Ruby Ann Rietmann) lives in Echo, Mrs Tnmnc Ppttvlohn (Lola Ann Mc Cabe), Mrs Robert Crowell (Lila Botts), Mrs Eldon Tucker (Pat ricia Drake) in lone; and Mrs Ronald Tye (Jane Seehafer) lives in Enterprise. Mrs McCabe's roots are set Anpn in Morrow county. She was born on Rhea Creek, the daugh ter of Mr and Mrs Arthur Keene, Hpr grandfather.

A person would think Mrs Mc Cabe had little time for other activities, but one finds that she is a charter member of the lone extension unit, in fact, it was through a petition started by the Farm Bureau (who became con vinced by Ruth's campaigning) that a home extension agent was voted Into the county budget.
