Chats From Your Home Agent Home Ec Units Study Wise Furniture Choice By ESTHER KIItMIS "We're not buying new furn iture while my kids are still in the pounding stage," explain ed Lynn Haguewood, voung pro ject leader from the Rhea Creek Extension unit taking training, "but I will be in the market in a few years." She, along with eleven other project leaders from Morrow county met with the agent for training in "Wise Choice of Furniture" on Thursday, Novem ber 21, at the Lexington school (our new project training home). We used a filmstrip, "Furn iture Styles and Selections" from Sears Roebuck and Co. as the basis of our teaching. Their con- sumer Education Division has put out a very colorful and in formative film on this subject. The leaders will show this film strip to their extension unit members when they meet in De cember. The women learned that one's family needs and desires, the color scheme, style of furniture, the kind of space you have, and your budget limitations all need to be considered before you act ually buy furniture. Visit Case Furniture In the afternoon the twelve visited Case Furniture store in Heppner and had an educational time browsing among Arnie Hedman's wares. "In the morning we learned what to look for," said Mrs. Jerry Myers of the Pine City area, "and in the afternoon we put it to practice." A quiz on furniture styles, wood and upholstery started the women in their training. They For Your Protection Turner, Van Marter and Bryant Answers Your Insurance Questions QUESTION: Insurance agents keep talking about the need for bigger limits in liability insurance coverage and tell about big damage awards to justify it. Is that true or is it just a good sales talk? ANSWER: It's only too true. Some of the damage suit awards are so large as to seem almost fantastic and the lower limits in liability insurance no longer give ade quate protection. This public service is our way of advertising.

Maude Wilson, former OSU housing specialist, was called upon by Sears for information that she had been giving the women on right heights, depths, etc., of their cupboards. So you see, even large com panies get their first information from extension. Farm Management Workshop Coming "I think it's a good idea to ask rancher wives to attend the Farm Management Workshop in Heppner in December," says Dean Graves, Hardman, who ranches with his father. "I know Marg (his wife) keeps all our books. I'll bet 30-50 of the ranchers wives in the county do." We approach Manning Becker, OSU Farm Management special ist, (the workshop instructor) on this matter and he heartily agrees. In other counties, he says, women have made up 20-30 of the attendance. The dates of the workshop are December 10, 11, 17 and 18 at the Heppner Fair Annex, start ing at 10:00 a.m. On the docket is: "Income Tax Management," Decision Making and Economic Principles," "An alysis and using Farm Records (including budgeting," and "Machinery Cost Analysis." Paul Tews, Louis Carlson, lone; Kenneth Turner and Dean Graves, Heppner; are members of the workshop steering com mittee. Why not sign-up with them? This workshop is another "Man and Wife" shortcourse sponsored by extension. Death, No Respector of Persons Death is no respector of per sons even presidents die!

Conditioners No Deterioration Of Grain stored in ships at As toria and Olympia under the Fleet Storage Program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture show ed no deterioration in grade dur ing the period of its storage. The first of the grain was placed in the ships March 11, 1954, and the last unloaded in early October of this year. Figures supplied the grain division of the Oregon Depart ment of Agriculture by the U. S. Department of Agriculture show ed 93 percent of the overall total of 41,992,488 bushels of wheat unloaded was of the same grade when unloaded as when loaded. An increase of one numeric grade was actually shown on 1,447,838 bushels of the grain stored in the ships. This was due to an increase in test weight while in storage. A decrease in grade was re corded for 1,646,629 bushels of the stored wheat, but this was the result of a change in stand ards during the storage period rather than deterioration. Ships at Astoria had slightly more than 64 per cent of the total grain in storage on the ships. Grain unloaded from these ships totaled 26,926,919 bushels and 24,194,146 bushels of this grain remained in grade. Show ing one numeric grade increase were 1,268,144 bushels. The grower organization.

Scattered farms were sup posedly too costly to reach. Only one farm family in ten had or could get electric light and power at a price it could afford. Then, in 1935, came the Rural Electrifica tion Administration. Rural people like us could form groups, incorporate, borrow funds at modest interest rates from REA, and build lines to serve ourselves. Up to now about 1.000 rural electric svs- terns from coast to coast have billion Amcric Diiuon trom KLA, to build l of line which serve over 16 Americans.
