For Many Years of 4-H Leadership
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wright admire the plaque wnbyMri.
for her many years of service In 4-H activities.
By ESTHER KIRMIS
The ghost town of Hardman
in Morrow county, Oregon was
the site of one of the first 4-H
clubs in the county. In fact, 36
years ago, Mrs. Walter Wright,
Heppner, winner of the 1960
State 4-H Alumni Award, enroll
ed in a 4-H clothing club under
the supervision of the county
superintendent of schools. That
decision Influenced the rest of
the life of young Mildred Far
rens. Mrs. Wright was one of four
individuals in the state to re
ceive a burnished copper recog
nition plaque honoring former
4-H members whose accomplish
ments exemplify community
leadership, public service, ser
vice to 4-H club work, and suc
cess In their chosen careers. The
plaque was presented to the
blonde former 4-H leader by
Esther Kirmls, Morrow county
extension agent, at the annual
4-H leaders banquet held In lone.
The Wrights, Mildred and
Walter, operate a large cattle
ranch in the Hardman area. It
is a part of the homestead of
Walter's father who was one of
the early settlers in the county.
Their family includes two daugh
ters; Patsy (Mrs. Don Anderson,
Arlington) and Janet a medical
student at the University of Ore
gon School of Nursing.
This rancher wife was inter
ested in 4 II as a member, but
it really took her two daugh
ters to focus the zeal of her 4-H
club work. Over 30 girls were
involved In hc-r 12 years of 4-H
leadership which included foods,
clothirg, art, and woodworking.

Honored
Wright
agent, "Mildred was helpful in
assisting me to Decome acquain
ted in her community and kept
me informed on 4-H organizat
ional opportunities."
Her untiring efforts and Inter
est in facilities for a county 4-H
summer camp have paid off with
one of the finest camp sites in
the state which now provides
an annual week's outing for al
most 100 Morrow county 4-H
boys and girls. She is also a
member of the 4-H and FFA
state fair facilities committee.
The pinnacle of her 4-H lead
ership came to Mrs. Wright in
1956 when her daughter, Patsy,
attended the National 4-H club
camp in Washington, D. C. and
was there voted outstanding 4-H
girl of the entire United States.
Patsy received a trip to New
York where she appeared on hte
Firestone TV program. Mildred
accompanied her daughter on
nernrded hon-
me my, "- -
ore for contributing toward her
daughter's development.
"This trip to New York raised
a minor crisis in our household,"
remembers Mrs. Wright. "It was
right in the midst of haying
time. But Walter and 17-year-old
Janet urged us to go, saying
thev'd get along."
Not only was this 4-H alumni
interested in her daughter's pro
gress, but she took individual
interest in each of the 30 some
girls that came under her 12
years of leadership.
Other organizations that have
benefited from Mrs. Wright's
leadership include the Episcopal
Church of Heppner, the Rhea
Creek Grange, the Rebekah
Lodge, the Rhea Creek Exten
sion Unit the Morrow County
advisory committee, and the
Morrow County Fair and Rodeo.
