New 4-H Projects
To Be Explained

part of our council and need
encouragement to attend," ex
plains Deane Graves, 4-H Coun
cil president, "so perhaps this
method might help."
It was announced that Dean
Wimmer, Oregon's IFYE to
Northern Ireland, will be in the
county March 13 and 14. He will
be the main speaker of the 4-H
leaders banquet to be held at
the Rhea Creek grange hall on

Suggestion was made by Es
ther Kirmis, Morrow county ex
tension agent, for a "Money
Management" day for 4-H mem
bers in the spring. Leaders ac
cepted this proposal.
She also announced that Ar
leta McCabe of lone, and Dale
Van Blokland of Heppner will
represent Morrow county at the
Oregon 4-H conference in Salem
