Demonstration day for Morrow

a "whimsey" (hat); 2. How to
make a "terry top" sports blouse;
3. Fashions, fabrics and you; 4.
How to make "Glutenburgers";

Premiums Total $3500
A fair premium check in the
hands of a 4-H youngster or
an interested adult might scorn
like "peanuts" to most of us, but
added all together last year they
amounted to $3528.00, announces
Mrs. Glenn Smith, secretary for
the Morrow county fair hoard.
A break-down of this amount
shows that the following
amounts were won last year:
Community booths $265.00 open
class exhibits $1750.05, Morrow
county schools $160.00, Future
Farmers association $18.00, total
4-H exhibits and contests
$1335.75, for a total of $3528.80.
The state legislature support
the belief that county fairs pro
mote agriculture, industry, and
youth activities by each year
assigning a portionment of the
state's racing receipts to each
county to produce these county
fairs,' explains Mrs. Smith.
Fair board members in the
county include: Al Fetsch, Lex
ington, chairman; Bernard Do-
hcrty, Heppner, and O. W. Cuts-
tort n, Lexington.
'Shack' Chairmen Set
Eighteen 4-H mothers were
selected as work shift chair
men of the newly built "4-H
Snack Shack" on its inaugural
run at the Morrow county fair,
August 21-24, according to Mrs.
Earl McCabe, lone, 4-H dinner
committee chairman.
Each year the 4-H leaders
council has a money raising ac
tivity to help carry on such ac
tivities as record book contests,
achievement parties, IFYE do
nation, 4-H leader's banquet,
fair and camp expenses, maga
zines and dues, conducive to the
4-H program in the county. This
Judging Of Knitting Added to 4-H Contests
Forty-five boys and girls are
enrolled in 4-H knitting this
year which proves that interest
for this art goes on from one
generation to another, comments
Miss Esther Kirmis, Morrow
county extension agent.
Because of this enrollment a
separate judging contest in knit
ting has been set up for Wed
nesday, August 22, at 1:00 p.m.
In the annex building of the
Morrow county fair grounds.
Four classes of knitted articles
will be set up for the youngsters
to rate in one, two, three, four,
positions. That would mean like
four sweaters, or four pot hold
ers, or four mittens, etc, ex
plains Miss Kirmis. The purpose
of judging contest is to help 4-H
members make decisions and
give reasons for their thinking.
Mrs. Gene Cutsforth and Mrs.
Dean Hunt, Lexington, are lead
ers of the Knifty Knitters with
a membership of nine; Mrs. Wil
liam Schmeder, Irrigon, super
vises the Knit and Purl club
with 19 enrolled (six of these
are boys); and Mrs. Joe Tatone,
Boardman, directs the Knutty
Knitter with 13 enrolled. Four
girls from Heppner are enrolled
as individual knitters.
Mrs. Clifford Brown, Hermis
ton, will bo the knitting judge
at this contest and give the girls
and boys pointers.
year the ways and means com
mittee came up with the idea
of a "4-H Snack Shack" on the
fair grounds as a long-range
money raiser for the council. It
will run all four days of the
fair (6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
selling such things as hamburg
