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.
