Bill Jepsen Named to Host Families for Japanese Children Shrine Team My A XX TON' FY Equipped with back packs and armed with a can of beans, a half a jar of pickles, a bottle of Dristan ("in case we got a headache") and a change of clothes, three modern-da'y Daniel Boones set out in quest of travel and adventure. -What started out with an innocent statement of "we're going to play soldier, Mom" ended in a few anxious hours for the parents of our trekking trio. Donnie Lott 9, Harry Gro shens 9, and Greg Groshens 10 started out on their hike about 4:00 p.m. last Tuesday night declaring their intentions to Bernice Lott. About 5:00, brother Mike Lott began to look for the trio and was unable to locate them in the immediate hills behind the Lott house where the boys usually play. After about a half an hour when it began to get dark, Mike still had not located them. It was then that Bernice discovered that perhaps the hike was to encompass a little more ground than supposed as Donnie's back pack was gone. She called the other boys' parents, the Vic Groshens and then alerted the neighbors who joined in the search. Still unsuccessful, they enlist ed the aid of a group of high school kids as they were leaving basketball practice at about 6:30 p.m. The area covered was increased, as the kids used 4-wheel drives and Hondas, some of which had spot lights. The Lotts still thought that the boys would be in the immediate hills, but that still covers a lot of ground. After this failed to turn up any sign of the boys, the Lotts then called Forrie Burkenbine. who. brought the more powerful search light on the fire truck as darkness had engulfed the hills. Still no boys. Finally, Archie Ball and a group of Search and Rescuers joined the worried parents and the others to intensify the search with walkie-talkies. Everyone loves a happy ending, and fortunately our tale has one as about 8:00 p.m., the now weary travelers walked in on their own. ..very quietly. It was learned they had ventured three or four hills away, cross-country. In spite of their "well-provisioned" gear, they had neglected to take a flashlight and as any latter day Tom Sawyer can tell you, the dark and cold becomes mighty foreboding and home looks mighty good. The first meeting for Morrow County host families in the Oregon-Japan Youth Exchange program was held Feb. 26 at the Lexington School.

WOW Day Set Students in the 9th through 12th grade in Umatilla and Morrow Counties are invited to a career day, Saturday, March 3, according to Jerry Brog, County Extension Agent. Entitled "World of Work" (W.O.W.), the one day program is sponsored by the Extension study groups in the two county area in cooperation with Blue Mountain Community College. All schools in the two counties are cooperating with the study groups. The objective of the WOW day is to introduce students to careers and give them details on each job. "We hope every freshman and sophomore in the area takes advantage of his opportunity", Brog said. "It comes at a time when students at these grade levels can adjust their study program to better prepare themselves for job entry." Juniors and seniors are also urged to attend so they too can learn about a variety of careers. Over UK) resource people will spend the day explaining their job and how to prepare for it. One highlight of planning this program has been the terrific suport from businessmen, agencies and schools, Brog explained. A frequent comment from students last year, Brog noted, was that their first choice was not what they expected. By registering for four different career groups, students will be introduced to a group of fascinating careers they might not have known existed. Careers to be considered include agricultural production and business as well as techni cal professions, veterinarian, air service from pilots to air traffic control, radio, news reporting, advertising, dental work from lab technicians to dentists, medical careers, including nurses and techni cians and cosmotology which encompasses barbers, beau ticians and modeling. Other fields of interest are all phases of mechanics, secre tarial jobs, all types of sales positions, armed services for men and women, forestry, fish and wildlife work, law inforce- nient, legal professions, en gineering and engineering technology. Students interested in social services will find about the jobs of case workers and counselors. Building trades will feature carpenters, plumbers and electricians. Education jobs will cover primary and secon dary schools and special educa tion. New careers this year include driving occupations, manu facturing, and service trades. The program for the day begins with registration at 9:30 a.m., an orientation at 10 a.m. followed with four periods of 50 minutes each to discuss the careers. There will be a lunch break at 12:30 p.m. with students being provided a lunch which is included in the $1.00 registration fee.
