Sewing Club Keeps Active Through Year The Ruralettes 4-H club held seven meetings last year. We met during spring vacation at the home of Shauna and Carley Bergstrom for an all-day meet ing. Our leader, Mrs. Roland Bergstrom, showed us how to put in a bound buttonhole, shrink wool material, and how to fill out our record books. Then on Monday, June 10, our ciub went to the Pendleton Woolen Mills. Here we bought some wool fabric. We held all- day 4-H meetings the rest of the week in the Home Ec. room at lone High school. We brought our sack lunch and sewed all day. For relaxation we went swimming. On Monday, September 23, we held our last meeting in the Home Ec, room. We elected our officers for the next year. Presi dent, Shauna Bergstrom, vice president, Cheri Carlson; secre tary, Carly Bergstrom; news re- New County ASC Committee Chosen Ronald W. Haguewood of Heppner, Paul W. Tews of lone, and Ival Sullivan of Irrlgon were elected to the Morrow county ASC committee at the county convention September 27, l!Ki8. Haguewood Is chairman. He has completed a three year term and was re-elected for one year. Tews is vice chairman and was elected to a three year term. Sullivan, regular member. was elected to a two vear term. The term of office begins Octo ber l, iywj. Terms of office for county committeemen are on a 3-year basis, with one new member normally being elected naeh year at a convention of newly elected community ASC commit teemen. The situation varies, however, according to the num bei of actual vacancies on the committee. In addition, first and second alternates are elected for one year each. The newly elected alternates are Norman Nelson of Lexington and Leo Ashbeck of Echo. The ASC farmer-committee system Is unique, according to Duvid McLeod, manager of the ASC office here. No other group of citizens has so direct a voice in developing and running gov ernment programs. Farmers eli gible to take part in programs administered by the committee first elect community commit teemen, who in turn elect coun ty committeemen. While the county committee is in actual charge of administering the pro gram locally, the community committeemen lend operating assistance where needed and are particularly responsible for keening their neighbors inform ed about the programs avail able. The elected committees are not Federal office holders. Con gress holds the Department of Agriculture responsible for pro gram activities, and the Depart ment in turn relies on the judg ment and leadership of the lo cally elected farmers and tha county office employees. The county office serves as the headquarters for farmer busi ness connected with program participation. Major ASC actvities in Mor row county include the Agricul tural Conservation Program, price-support loans on wheat, barley, oats and rye, the feed grain program, the wheat pro gram, the conservation reserve program nad wool incentive pro gram. Total farm program business handled by the county ASCS of fice in Morrow county last year amounted to $4,185,500.00, which both improved the income of farm producers and strengthen ed the economy of the whole area, McLeod said.
