Page 5, THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Heppner. OR. Thursday, May 6. 197J RSVP volunteers retire n OSU Extension Service News 1 s by I BIRTHS vvrsathar w I Iva Booker and Doris Cut ting, two of the most depend able helpers at the Heppner Nutrition Site for Senic. Citizens are about to retire. They have a long record of service setting tables, pouring coffee, etc., and they some times work twice each week.. The two women are mem bers of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), for Morrow and Umatilla Counties, and long ago were presented pins denoting 100 hours of service to the Senior Citizens of Heppner. The Nutrition Site cooks are lamenting the state of affairs and have put In a plea to the community at large for people who are willing to help the Nutrition Site operation. Sum mer is not the best time of the year for locating volunteers who would commit them selves for the 2-3 hour shifts, once a week. It might be easier to obtain volunteers ( who would help once a month, ! or whenever called, if they are available. Senior citizens are preferred, but no one would be turned down because of their youth such as high school , girls. Many people who have sometime resolved to do something useful for their community or the Senior Citi zens, could find an hour spent at the Nutrition Site at the Elks Club rewarding in new friendships formed and be sides the cooks put out a fine dinner.

Published May I, 1976 PRISIOT PEiflSifl! f t i af ifc tfh v.s) xJr (tesy I I Morrow Extension Staff j The cost-sharing program available to Morrow County farmers should not be overlooked. This year there is a wider range of practices available than in recent years and all practices are cost-shared by the 75 per cent rate. Growers should contact the A.S.C.S. office for detailed information. One practice which a number of growers are signing up for this year is spraying rabbit brush. This week has increased on much of our rangeland and is very competitive with the more desirable grasses for the available moisture. Control can be obtained with 3 pounds of 2, 4-D applied when the brush has made 3 inches of new growth. Landowners must sign up in the A.S.C.S. offic before they spray to be eligible for cost-sharing. There are many other conservation practices which are eligible for cost-sharing, so landowners should contact Dave McLeod in the A.S.C.S. for further details. SEPARATES FOR SUMMER WARDROBES Stretch your clothing dollar with separates, purchased at a moderate cost to add importance to garments already in your wardrobe. Separates, mixed and matched are the perfect answer to a summer wardrobe, according to Birdine Tullis, Morrow Program Assistant. , But thought needs to be given to how you will use the separate items in your total plan for looking well during busy summer months. Purchase the more expensive separates . . . jackets, for instance, in basic colors and textures. Think of all the ways you could use a really sharp looking white blazer this summer, or a good bicentennial red! Pants or skirts can be purchased or .nade at less expense to provide variety. Shirts, blouses, and sweaters suitable to the season can add great variety to a wardrobe worn with pants, skirts, shorts,' or longer skirts for evening. Choose accessories to provide the current fashion look. This year the cotton scarf seems to be a perfect accessory for both the popular T-shirt and other blouses. . Separates can also help span the seasons, another way of stretching the clothing dollar. Good basic separatee with changes of shirts and blouses are wearable through a wide variety of temperatures, providing a longer period of use for more expensive parts of the wardrobe. A wide variety of types of separates currently on the market will help you express your personal taste and style. However, thought and planning are needed as well as careful buymanship to make as many combinations as possible. One way to coordinate separates is to shop with a small swatch of fabrics for matching. Trim small pieces of fabric from inside a garment facing or hem and keep in your purse. Small samples could be taped to a card and always handy for matching. Having color samples available will assure you that a newly purchased item will combine and match or contrast well with your garmenls at home. Separates have become a way of life for well dressed women. Have fun and look lovely by playing the mix and match separates game.

At Chamber Dan Wilson, project coordi nator for the Stanfield-Weston Project was guest speaker at the Chamber of Commerce Monday. Wilson presented a series. of slides depicting certain areas in Umatilla and Morrow Counties taken 90 years ago and compared them with pic tures of today. In the early 1890s simply diversion ditches and ponds were used by farmers to retain water for farming. In 1950 some farmers start ed drilling wells on their property for irrigation pur poses, however, in 1960 future wells were prohibited when it was found there was a consid erable drop in the water level in the area. In 1967 there , were 12 sprinklers in northern Morrow County, today there are untold numbers. At one time wheat farming was the leading agri cultural business in the county but today wheat has fallen to second place to the potato industry.

TTea "Hi 2 I was negligent in my duties last week and didn't get the news in on time so will include two weeks in this report. The women are proving to be ardent and hardy golfers to brave the lousy weather on Tuesday mornings. The num ber has been holding steady at eight since their play began. Two weeks ago Doris Hunt was a winner of low gross and Dee Cribble took low net honors. Was a nasty day. Last week a regular winner, Bev Gunderson had low gross with Norma Harrison taking low net award. Familiar names also appear as winners in men's Sunday play with some obvious sand baggers also showing up. Two weeks ago Francis Doherty was awarded for low gross with Ed Struthers a repeat winner of low net. Struthers also captured long drive honors. Judge Carmichael won both KP and least putt awards. This past Sunday Gary Hunt shot a 66 for low gross honors. There was a tie for low net between Ron Jones and Bob Jepsen. Both these fellows were repeat winners with Jones taking KP honors and Jepsen popped the long drive.
