HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, May 21, 1964 By ESTHER KIRMIS A well-known speaker in the state, lively music, good food, installation of officers, and pro gram and convention reports filled the day for 80 Morrow County Extension women as they gathered for the annual Homemakers Festival Day, May 13, at the Willows Grange hall in lone. The theme, "ACWW Down Under" was in deference to Mrs. Athalie Lage, an attractive Hood Kiver homemakcr, wno was ure eon's onlv delegate to the Assoc iate Country Women of the World's Triennial in Melbourne, Australia, in 1962. Mrs. Lage was one of 3,000 women from 25 countries who attended the ACWW conference. Seventv-two attended from the U. S. "The main concern of the women at the ACWW confer ence," reported the former state president, "was to raise the standard of living among the world's families and at the con ference end they pledged fin ancial support to the Freedom from Hunger campaign. They also supported scholarship pro grams (Lady Aberdeen scholar ships) for young women in all countries of the world." , Special sessions at the con ference were devoted to food, friendship, leisure, and learning. Homemakers the world around, she said, are concerned about the best way to help youth prepare for off-farm jobs. Australia Visited After the business sessions, Mrs. Lage and other delegates had oppor tunities to see some of Austral ia's landmarks and products. They visited in Australian homes, and visited a 50,000-acre sheep ranch that included a building about a block long full of silver trophies won by Aus tralian Wool Growers. On her return to the U. S. she took time to visit Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Phil ippines and Japan. In the Phil ippines the home extension agent took her into some of the homes and to visit some of their 4 H clubs. Improving the family living status in the Philippines is best being achieved through the youngsters, she said, because getting to the adults is often difficult when they speak in 80 different dialects. In Tokyo she visited a center where local homemakers are brought in by the Extension Ser vice to learn the basic skills of good nutrition, sanitation, clothes making, and food pres ervation so they in turn may go out and teach others. Homemakers interested in U. S. were intensely interested in anything they could learn first hand about life in the U. S. Many found it hard to believe that homemakers in the U. S. do their own housework, work in their own gardens and take re sponsible jobs in their commun ities. School children swarmed the delegates, eager to try out their English on Americans and anx ious to check their knowledge of U. S. Geography. A common question from the youngsters was "What part of the U. S. are you from?" "Letter Friends" Sought An eagerness to share ideas was also noted. Before she left Aus tralia, Mrs. Lage had a note book full of names and ad dresses of persons who wanted "letter friends" in the U. S. Since her return she has received many more requests from Ore gon women than she has names. ACWW membership comprises more tnan b million women from around the world joined together for the common pur pose of betterment of family life. No U.b.S.R. women are members. Australian Display Complimenting the speakers talk was an Australian display put up by tne Fine City unit. They had contacted Mrs. John Ramos, Echo, (a former Aussie school teacher now married and living in this country) for auth entic luncheon clothes, table mats, books, Aborigine paintings and stuffed native animals etc. lor this exhibit.
