4 HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES. Thursday. July Gene Winters Entertain Visiting Turks at Luncheon By MARION ABRAMS Mrs. Gone Winters, wife of the Morrow county extension agent, handled a problem in Internat ional relations last Saturday and reports that it proved to be a pleasant and gratifying exper ience tor those who participated. In order to provide a restful and hospitable stop for the fast tourinc croup of Turkish agri culturists in Morrow county last week, the Winters decided to en tertain them for luncheon at their own home, and Lee. who Is an experienced home econom ies teacher, planned a largely do-ahead" menu to ensure prompt and easv sen-ice. On advice from Dr. Norman Goetze. OSU farm crops special ist, who was guide for the tour, the menu was planned to In clude cottage cheese, a favorite food of the Turks, and to ex clude pork which is not eaten bv Moslems. Sliced cold turkey, stuffed cabbage rolls (a dish often eat en in Turkey), assorted fruit with the cottage cheese, rolls, butter and jam. and a dessert of cantaloupe with ice cream and raspberries completed the menu. The 23 guests, plus Win ters and Bob Jepsen, Oregon Wheat Growers League presi dent, were served from a buffet table and ate at tables set on the patio of the Winters' home. Mrs. Robert Jones, Mrs. Robert Jepsen and Mrs. Roice Fulleton assisted with last minute prep arations and with the service of the luncheon. Mrs. Doug Drake contributed fresh raspberries from the Drake garden. Verv noticeable to Americans Is trie Turkish fondness for quantities of bread with meals. Turks consume considerably more wheat products per person than Americans and Mrs. Win ters was happy to have had a generous supply of rolls. For half the guests, conversa tion with the hosts was limited to speaking through their inter preter, but all expressed grati tude and pleasure and repeat edly stated that they had found Americans everywhere much more friendly and helpful than they had expected. Because the Turks did not realize that they were to be entertained in a pri vate home in Heppner they had not brought a gift and were greatly embarrassed at not being able to do so. It is their custom to always present a gift of some sort when accepting hospitality. After their restful luncheon the visitors proceeded in a char tered bus to Gilliam county. County Agent Winters, who ac companied them on the bus, was highly entertained by the good spirits and enthusiastic singing with which the group speeded traveling time. He and Mrs. Winters, who drove to Con don, had further opportunity to get acquainted with the Turkish men at dinner that evening. According to Mrs. Winters the men were mostly family men pl.-iil to show nietures (of and talk about their families at home. erv few wives worn i TNirWuv nlth.Mi.'h in fitlfrrtl thev wear slacks, bikinis and1 other Western clothes; women j spend a great deal ot lime pre paring meals with care and do not as vet have time-saving in stant foods. These upper-class and progressive men did not re act favorably when someone suggested that their wives might gradually become working wom en using time-saving methods of housekee ping as American wives do now. Following the dinner at Con don the Turkish men performed some Turkish dances for their American friends. The dances are very" high-spirited and ath letic a most memorable spec tacle.
