Second Cltu Matter.
Everything about 4-H is Good
Nothing but good thoughts come to mind when a person
thinka of i ll clubs. Maybe the organization hu some faults,
but they arent apparent outwardly.
Their objectives are of the beat, their activities are construc
tive and worthwhile, and they are constantly striving for better
things for IL How can person find fault with their noble
goals?
This Is an organization where cooperation, enthusiasm. ain
cere purpose and hard work prevail The members accomplish
ments can readily be measured In individual achievement as
well as In their croup activities.
In Morrow county there are 318 members In 4-H. some of
whom are enrolled in more than one local club, and 62 leaders
are actively working with them. With leaders and members
totaling nearly 400. this means that one out of every 12 persons
in the county is participating In 4 II. a respectable percentage
and one that could not fall to have Influence and impact on
the county.
The club is expanding all the time, and coincident with
National 4-H week. September 26 to October 3. the club would
like to enroll new members. The local clubs cover many fields
as one can see by checking page 5 of section 2 of this paper.
Clubs of particular Interest that are not now organized could
be formed if a few young people decide that they would like
to pursue this interest under the 4-H banner. This would be
good time to call the county agent's office and tell them that
youngsters In your family would like to sign up.
Through the special section of this paper, special window
displays in stores and special services and programs, 4-H
clubs of the county are emphasizing 4-H week this week.
We Join all other firms and organizations In the county
In a salute t 4-H. We're mighty glad they are so strong and
active in Morrow county, because their work certainly con
tributes to making a better county. '
To those adults who know so well the meaning of 4-H and
take so much time to work as leaders with the members goes
a special word of commendation. The extension service which
contributes so much to the 4-H program has been working under
handicap here this year since one agent was removed on the
budget cut, and the untimely death of Esther Klrmis took
away her fine leadership. County Agent Nels Anderson has
been carrying on, handling a multiplicity of chores including
4-H, and doing a good Job of it Now Miss Donna George has
arrived to help with 4-H as well as home economics, and the
program will get some new zest
If one ever doubts the quality of leadership given In 4-H,
all he has to do is see the members showing their project work,
whether it be livestock, clothing or cooking, at the county fair.
By their demeanor and their manner, as well as the quality of
what they show, one can tell that the youngsters have received
some excellent training and are on their way to responsible
citizenship.
And responsible citizenship in this broad land of ours was
never more important than it is now.

TO THE EDITOR...
Dear Sir:
- Since coming to Heppner to
perform the relief on the agency
here. I have been noting with
great interest some or trie line
articles which have been ap
pearing in the Gazette-Times
Some people take a dally or
weekly paper as a matter of
course. I would not hesitate to
say that you have a first-class
paper and one which Heppner
and in fact all of Morrow county
can be proud or.
In my travels for the Union
Pacific and other roads, 1 nave
worked in practically every state
west of the Mississippi River and
even in Anchorage, Alaska for
a year. Sometimes in a town
this size, youngsters growing up,
about all in their minds Is to
get to the big cities and really
make a big splash. Let me say
that I grew up in a town this
size, Coalgate, Oklahoma, and
have been klnda sorry ever
since I left there. One can never
go back things change too
much. I went back after 25 years
and only knew a couple of faces.
- Around Heppner, you folks
seem to have a little bit of
everything, such as an ideal
climate, never too hot or too
cold. Also you have a lot more,
like the trip we made yesterday
up to Bull Prairie reservoir,
beautiful country most all the
way, and I caught my limit of
trout. What more could a man
ask. You have the most honest
and friendly bunch of people
around Heppner or any town
I have been in in a long time.
As I check out on September 24',
I would like to leave you with
just one line: You have a town
that I should be very happy to
spend my last ten years with
the Union Pacific in. Also, I
have handled with superinten
dent's office to get this depot
painted and hope to see the
Paint gang in here before I
leave. They can make a world
of difference if we can get this
place spruced up a bit
