Women four
It was a bright, sunny
Friday morning, when about
40 women boarded a school
bus for an Extension tour of
the north end of Morrow
County. Harold Kerr and
Birdine Tullis were in charge,
BIrdlne taking count of the
heads and Harold being our
guide. After two men boarded
the bus In Lexington, it was
decided the tour should no
longer be called a women's,
tour.
With the but -full and a
station wagon trailing behind,
we met Bus Clough, repre
sentative of Portland General
Electric, In Boardman, who
along with Tom Kingston,
construction engineer, gave a
tour of Boardman's Coal Fire
Generating Site. The site Is
located approximately 11
miles southwest of Boardman.

view of the two dams that
were being constructed. There
are no permanent buildings on
the site, but by July 1980, this
site will have about 1,000
employees and be operating at
full capacity. It takes a good
Imagination to vision that the
now bare desert, with only a
few trailers and earth moving
equipment in sight, will have.
In less than three years,
permanent buildings, land
scaping, generating plants
and full dams that will cover
about 1600 acres.
It was then to a buffet lunch
at the Nomad Restaurant, and
then our guide, Harold, show
ed us the new construction in
the city of Boardman. The new
homes are all nice and the city
can boast that it is building
with all the right toning.
Next, we were given a tour
of the Oregon Potato fresh
packing plant. We were shown
tons and tons of potatoes In

storage sheds that hold up to
13,000 tons. In the fresh
packing plant, we watched the
employees sort, grade and
pack tons of Norgold Russet
Potatoes. This plant has the
capacity to receive and ship
about 800 tons in a 10 hour day.
We also recognized some of
our local people who are
employed by Oregon Potato.
Back on the bus to the
Columbia River where Oregon
Potato has their pumping
plants.
Then a tour of the farms,
canals and watch the sprink
lers circle. As it was the end of
the season, the sprinklers
were still, with a few potato
harvesters moving at the
Sabre, Eastern Oregon, and
Western Empire farms.
The tour was a success with
Harold almost losing his voice
