Morrow 4-H Auction Proves Spirited Affair Members Earn Honors Af Wheat Growers 'East Oregon State Fair' By N. C ANDERSON "Four-II club members selling livestock at the first annual 411 Fat Auction Sale are still hardly able to believe that their an imals set u price record for East ern Oregon when auctioned off September 3." says N. (J. Ander son, county extension agent. This miction was part of the r.Ho Morrow County Fair and Rodeo program The sale, auctioned by Bob Kunnion, Heppner, with Harold Irwin. Kay Icrguson, James vai eniine and John Varner In the rind, was perhaps the most spir ileil sale ever to be held In Morrow county. To put the buy ers in the right mood, five rab bits were auctioned off to high bidders, I'hil Mahoney and liar old Irwin. These high grade an irnals brought approximately $5 per head to net "Butch" Ren nicker, their owner, $21. Moving into the fat lambs, Tom Michos of the Jolly Joan Cafe, Portland; Orville Cutsforth, Lexington and I'hil Mahoney paid $1.10 per M)und for one of two animals sold by Ronald Baker, lone, Ron Ciirrin was owner of the other fat la ml). Next to be sold was a group of three registered Hamihire breeding rams which sold for an average of $125 per head. Owners of these rams were 1'eggy Wightman, Sally Palmer and Eddie Brosnan. Buvers were Jerry Brosnan, Frank Wilkinson and Fred Hosklns, Sr. Bidding on fat steers began with the grand champion of the fair, a shorthorn, owned by Betty (iraves. The KJks club of Hepp brought a higher price of $1 a pound. This steer owned by Dean Craves was bought by Smcth urst and Craves. Trices were high throughout the entire sale bringing an average of T7c per pound to the seller. The one pig of the sale owned by Nell Beam er, Heppner, was sold for 7.c iht pound to Tom Michos, Port land. First event of the sale to Indi cate a desire to make donations to Institutions, besides helping to encourage our 4 II club mem bers, was a donation of a steer bought by Kill Kilkenny. This Shorthorn steer owned by Jim Green was resold by Bill Kll kenny, proceeds to go to the Morrow County Hospital Fund The animal purchased by Ralph Beamer was again donated and purchased by Frank Wilkinson and finally by Orville Cutsforth. rhis series of sales brought $1,617 for the hospital fund. Prices like these were the start- ng of an active 4-H and btA ivestock sale that has lasted during the years. Developed from necessity, since our boys nd girls had no means of marketing their livestock, the sale has provided an outlet for several hundred head of beef, heep, hogs and dairy animals. he 19ul sale, while not Dring- ng near the price the 1948 sale, provided an outlet for 11 steers that averaged 33Vic per pound; hirtv-three fat lambs averaging 2G.4c per pound while thirty two market hogs averaged 24.8c.

HkXUAM-t Junior 4-Hrers Get Good Training As Club Leaders of Tomorrow "Gee, you did a fine job pre- eight project divisions available. siding at the meeting.. You did an excellent job of getting those club members to do that job. Such statements as these are being said about 4-H junior leaders as they train to be lead ers of tomorrow, indicates Joe Hay, County Extension agent. The 4-H Junior leadership pro- ect can be carried by those 4-H members who have completed two or more years of satisfactory 4-II club work and are in the ninth grade in school. The pur pose of the junior leader pro gram is to give older 4-H boys and girls the opportunity to de velop their own leadership abil ities. It was never meant that a unior leader should be just an errand or chore boy for an adult leader. Kather, it is an oppor tunity to learn real leadership responsibilities. "We know that good leaders re developed, not born," Hay said. A junior leader shares re- ponsibility with an adult leader for a project club. They assume full leadership responsibilities for their choice of txvn of the These project divisions are club organization, demonstrations, and judging, activities, project xvorn, recreation training, pub licity, community service and citizenship. A special training meeting for junior l.eaders was held on Jan uary 20 at the Heppner Fair Annex. Background for leader ship was given and the eight that attended were assisted in planning their junior leadership plan ot work tor the year. Those attending included Eric Anderson, Gary Van Blokland, Kenneth Wright, Douglas Ander son and Dick Struckmeier, Hepp nor; bteven Lindstrom, lone; Marlene Fetsch, Lexington; and David Proudtoot, Echo. Others who have indicated an interest in junior leadership are Beverly Davidson and Leora Van Winkle, Lexington; Chloe McOuaw, Boardman; Ann Schmeder, Penny Jones, Shirley Jackson, Mary Williams and and Mary Gerberding, Irrigon Sue Townsend, lone; and Martha Doherty and Tanna Valentine, Heppner.
