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

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.

Sears Uses OSU Information, Too
Mrs. Douglas Drake, former
extension worker, told me the
other day that the specifications
for Sear's unfinished case goods
(chests, cupboards, headboards,
etc.) that are made at the Pilot
Rock lumber mill came from the
Oregon State University.
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.

So aptly put by John Mc

took a ring off her finger and
placed it in his hand and it
was no more!"

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

partment supervisor in Portland,

ELECTRIFICATION
enterprise at
In the early 30's, rural electrification was
at a standstill. 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
