i SELF PROTECTION FOR WOMEN :
"Lady, beware," was the message carried to Morrow
;.' County women by Jim and Evalou Carey, and Hal Galloway, Ij
: of the Umatilla Sheriff's Department, at a training session :j:
last Monday night in Irrigon. The trio presented information ::
: on high risk situations for women, ways to avoid or be
: prepared for such situations, protecting your home from :
: burglars, rape, and reporting of attacks, as well as other :
valuable information relating to safety. ::
Both the Careys have worked closely with rape victims in ::
: the investigation of such crimes, and have developed the ;
: program at their own expense. Galloway, a locksmith, also :
donated his time to the program. He specializes in :
; acquainting groups with better locks and protection for i-j
: homes and property, with many easy to do and inexpensive :;
methods. The dedicated group are willing to present their g
program for any interested group. :
"Women and girls are concerned for their safety ; that was
: evident by the great number of questions following the
session," says Birdine Tullis, Extension Service. :
Over fifty women and girls attended the training session. ::
SPRING SEWING HINTS jij
BUYING THE NATURAL-LOOKING FABRICS
The trend in fabrics for spring is toward the natural-look,
reports OSU Textile Specialist, Ardis Koester. It's the look :
for all ages! The fabrics may be 100 per cent cotton, or a ij:
blend or cotton and man made fibers. You'll be seeing it in all .::
the ready to wear departments, as well as in the fabric S
stores.
Many natural-looking fabrics are 100 per cent man-made, :
with a softer, more natural appearance and feel.
Textures also are tending toward the natural look. The i
linen-like texture, with slubs and nubs has become important :
this spring. Seersucker, fancy piques, and other textures are
showing up everywhere.
The fun fabrics for spring and summer include woven
utility fabrics such as dishcloth and tablecloth checks. Knits
include lightweight raschel knits in a wide range of textures
and lacy patterns.
When buying all fabrics, check the fiber content, and the
directions for care. Both are required to be listed on bolt for g
your information. If no information is given on permanent :
press or durable press finishes, crush a handful of the fabric, :
release it, and determine how it resisted wrinkling. If
shrinkage information is not given, consider the fiber content
and fabric finish. Man-made fibers tend to shrink less than gi
natural fibers, and close weaves tend to shrink less than loose
knits.
Over the counter fabrics should be prepared for cutting by g
laundering or dry cleaning in the same manner the finished g:
garment will be cleaned.
Watch for whites, and brights. Crisp, clean white is a g:
runaway color for spring and summer. But along with the
whites are black, and super brights with names like peacock g
: blue, marigold, and emerald green. The colors, combined g
: with the wide array of textures and patterns, as well as new g:
j softness of fashions, are making spring '77 a whole new
I scenc.and one that will make you want to get to the sewing :
machine, says Birdine Tullis. And the gal who sews is really
: lucky, for she'll be saving lots of dollars, as well as having
: personalized fit and fashion. :

Weather influences prices
Weather continued the gov
erning influence on grain
markets for the week ended
Mar. 3, according to the
USDA's latest Pacific North
west market summary.
White wheat bids were gen
erally 14 cents over Chicago
May and producer selling vir
tually stopped. Producers con
tinue to think in terms of flat
prices of $3.00 per bushel or
more.
Future markets broke
sharply due to weather as
reflected in cash wheat mar
kets. New crop position bids are
ranging 2 to 5 cents per bushel
over Chicago July-for July
August shipment.
Hard red winter wheat
markets dropped substantial
ly on the heels of beneficial
rains. Premiums being paid
for Northwest Coast desti
nations are holding mostly
steady.
Active domestic demand
and limited farm selling and
drought conditions persisted
in some of the spring wheat
growing areas. Export ac
tivity off the Pacific North
west was fairly good with
some business directed back
to the U.S. instead of Canada.
Dryland farmers are more
optimistic while farmers de
pending on irrigation are
pessimistic with the snow
pack at record low.
Export activity was moder
ately good through February
in filling outstanding sales.
The Japanese Food Agency
brought 26,500 metric tons for
May loading. Korea bought
13,000 metric tons for May
shipment using Korean For
eign Exchange funds and
General Sales Management,
which carries 12 months'
credit. The Philippines bought
25,000 long tons for June de
livery. Barley markets closed
sharply lower compared with
the previous week.
Oats markets quoted $1.00
per ton lower.

It Makes Good Cents
to Conserve!
Any way you look at it, conservation makes good cents
or good sense.
In view of the regional problem of lack of moisture, it is even
more crucial than ever to practice good energy conservation.
We urge our members to -
Conserve on Heating;
Set home thermostats at 68 degrees
daytime or lower and at 58 degrees night.
Close shades and drapes at night.
Eliminate dirty furnace filters.
Install better insulation.
Install storm windows.
Add weatherstripping.
We also urge our members to
Conserve on Water Usage:
Minimize use of hot and cold water.
Insulate hot water pipes in unheated spaces.
Add shower flow restrictors.
let water heater thermostats at 120 degrees.
Utilize warm water for laundry.
Eliminate leaky faucets.
Shut off power to water heater when gone 3
days or more.
The prospect of a servere water shortage appears imminent.
Once again, we urge your cooperation with a regional need.
