Soroptimisfs Hear The Why of 4-H and Fairs . With the Fair coming the program at Soroptimists on Aug. 19 emphasized 4-H and Why Have a Fair? Joan Healy who had been awarded the Soropti mist 4-H Scholarship to 4-H Summer School at Oregon State spoke first. She had been sel ected as Morrow County Repre sentative and it was her duty to see that the delegates all got to their meetings. She is an enthusiastic 4-H member with her dairy cow and horse proj- . ects. Her sister Patti Healy had . praise for her 10 years mem . bership In a 4-H Club. She has had horse and beef projects. Preparing and showing her an . imals gave her leadership train ing and helped her to win sev eral scholarships. She attended 4-H Summer School for four .years, part of them as "County Rep", which she said was a "worthwhile experience". Patti is this year's Queen of the Pendleton Round-Up and she invited everyone to the Dress Up Parade on Sept. 11 and to the Westward Ho parade on Fri day of the Round-Up and to the Round-Up on Morrow Coun ty Day on Thursday. Ut Curtis Liz Curtis spoke as a 4-H member, a 4-H leader, a Home Extension leader, a 4-H judge and as a future parent of a 4-H member. She began with her exper ience as a 5 year old when she tagged along to the Fair with her dad who was a 4-H leader. As she continued going to Fairs, she was more and more impressed with what the kids were doing and the im pression their activities made on others who said "It's good . . . it's ok"! These 4-H accomplish ed members were looked up to individuals. Four-H members learn to take their losses and wins. They learn standards and basic prac tices. Learning is fun. Her friends she made at Fair are still good friends. She stunned her audience when she "told it as it is". "It's the parents who can't take the losses". Every fair brings out the fact that some parent has cheated to make their child's exhibit look better. This is a sad and shocking thing.

LESTER GRASSER displays the large family Bible that Is to be given away at the Seventh-day Adventist booth out at the Fair. It is in the King James version with a place to re cord family statistics: weddings, deaths, births, military rec ord, etc. off the learning that has been going on all year. Mrs. Curtis favors interview judging in stead of the written suggestions. The judge can help the con testant take criticism and there by learn to do better. She suggested that older 4-H members be involved in the Fair planning to take advant age of their enthusiasm. Birdine Tullis, extension aide, said "The Fair is part of the total 4-H program." We have the largest pre-registration in FFA and 4-H that we ever have had". The Fair is growing with a changing concept. New this year is an on -competitive square dance exhibition. Members were reminded of the Northwest Regional meeting at Village Green near Cottage Grove on Sept. 25-26.

(Signed Morrow County Court) 34-36c Power Exhibit At the Fair One of the most colorful and timely exhibits of the 1971 Mor row County Fair will be the Col umbia Basin Electric Co op, Inc., "More Power To You" up beat display. The exhibit offers the visitors a brief, dramatic audio-visual trip into mankind's development of power, the status of the sup ply versus demand of North west electrical energy and the reasons behind the increasing demand for new supply sources. The demand for electricity in the Northwest will increase three-fold in the next twenty years according to Mr. Harley Young, Columbia Basin Electric Coop manager. "More Power To You" means more power to ciean up our en vironment, he said. While residential demands for electricity will increase as a re sult of more residential units, the heavy demands will come from the requirements of elec trical equipment used to pre vent pollution, air pollution con trol equipment, machinery that processes municipal sewage and solid waste, machinery that will replace pollution sources of ma chinery for labor and heating, as well as requirements for in creased productivity, more jobs, food processing and storage, and commercial uses that direct ly affect the comfort and con venience of every household, Mr. Young said. The exhibit is sponsored by the Columbia Basin Electric and was developed with the Public Power Council, which is a power resource planning alliance of 103 Northwest public, municipal and rural electric utilities, on the theme, electricity and the quality of life. lone Football Call Coach Jerry Martin issued his first call for Football for the lone Jr. High for Aug. 30 at 8 a.m. at the lone Field. 4-H Favorite Food Show Contest The 4-H Favorite Food Con test new last year drew lots of favorable comments and enthus iasm.
