Columbia Basin E 'Family Togetherness' In Honduras Culture Impresses Speaker Life in Honduras with his six host families last year provided Don Walls, International Farm Youth Exchangee, with memor able experiences that he shared with members and guests of the Soroptimist Club at their lunch eon meeting last Thursday noon- Mr. Walls, a former 4-H club member in Hermiston and a sen ior student at Oregon State Uni versity, was accompanied and introduced by Miss Esther Kir mis, home extension agent. His talk was illustrated by colored slides showing the wide range of living conditions. He found the South American country well or ganized in youth clubs, under the name of "4-S" clubs, with aims and objectives much like those of our own "4-H" clubs, but their motto given in the Spanish language. One of his most memorable experiences was living with the Carlos Lopez family on a large banana plantation owned by the United Fruit Co. All homes were very cordial to him and he was most impressed by the "together ness" of the family unit. According to the speaker, ba nanas are the most important cron in the economy of the country, with about 100,000 acres under operation of the United Fruit Co., whose employees fam Hies make up the upper class segment. The lower or laboring class receive very little education and live in very meager condi tions. He found his blue eyes to be quite a popular subject of con versation, by his brown-eyed Spanish and Indian friend i. Catholicism is the religion of 98 of the native people. Hon duras is considered to be the most underdeveloped country in South America, according to Mr. Walls. Many souvenirs of art and other culture of the country were on display after the meeting. His appearance was one of many made before schools and grange groups during the week Ed Gonty was in The Dalles Monday where he met a shoe-salesman. 5 million families just like yours Mrs. Robert Rengel, farmer's wife and mother of three, has been a director of Corn Belt Electric Cooperative, Inc., Bloomington, Illinois, for the past six years. their own rural electric systems Milton B. Scott, partner in a general store in Pinetops, North Carolina, is also president of the board of Edgecombe-Martin County Elec tric Membership Corporation at Tarboro. The REA doesn't own or operate a mile of line. It acts only as a banker whose Job it is to make and collect loans and interest. Ownership of America's 1,000 rural electric sys tems rests solidly with the five million families -the 20 million people they serve. They're as local as your newspa per and as private as your signature.
