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.

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.

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.
