Val Toronto, city engineer, report Extension Service news By Birdine Tullls, Morrow Extension Service Spring Events of Interest The mention of herbs and spices brings a glint of interest to most women, especially those who garden and want to know more about growing and preserving herbs. The upcoming training session for study group leaders should be of interest, as both growing of herbs, and preparation of tasty dishes using herbs and spices will be combined to offer something of interest to all. Two training sessions are planned, with the first to be given in Hermiston, April 20, 10-12, at the Civic Recreation Center, 215 W. Orchard, and the second in Pendleton, April 25, 10-12, Christian Church. The subject will be the topic for study group meetings in both Morrow and Umatilla Counties in May. Herb culture and preservation will be presented by Birdine Tullis, with the cookery, storage, and identification by Molly Saul. The two promise lots of good sampling, as well as an opportunity to pinch, smell, and enjoy fresh growing herbs! Anyone interested is invited to attend the trainings. Extension study group membership is not a requirement.
