A learning
vacation offered
i When did you "Take Time for Yourself?" If it has been a
time since you had the opportunity to take a learning
vacation, you'll be interested in the program offered on
campus at Oregon State University in June!
What is the Mini College all about? A full schedule of 101
different classes has been planned for the week of June 20-24,
ranging from auto mechanics and emergency health care, to
new knowledge about textiles and clothing, and strictly for
fun craft classes. Many of the more popular classes of
'previous years will be repeated, and many new ones have
' been added.
Costs are kept to a minimum, with only $58 paying for room
land meals, and registration fee. Participants live in the
;; newest of dormitories right on campus, with meals served in
: an adjoining facility.
All Oregon women and men are invited to attend the full
week of activities, or attend only a part of the program.
; Registration forms are available at all Extension offices,
v Although June 1 is the final deadline for registering, it would
; be wise to get the registrations in early, as classes are
( assigned on a "first come" basis. The registration form
'"'contains a complete list and description of each class, for
t your choic!
If you'd like to visit with someone who attended previous
. Mini Colleges, you could talk to Dorris Graves, Julie Nelson,
Judy Wright, Claudia Hughes, Carol Kerr, Virginia Grieb, or
' many other Morrow County women. They tried it, and they
liked it!
A call to 676-9642, Morrow County Extension Office, will
! also get you information!
Tour shows North
Morrow changes
' Things really do change in our fast developing northern
part of the county! That's what forty-six men and women
discovered this week as they enjoyed another look at the
Carty Site, Boardman town, agricultural developments, and
all the other new and exciting developments. The tour was
sponsored by the Home Extension Advisory Committee, with
Harold Kerr serving as tour guide. The agent keeps well
informed on all activities in the county, and was able to point
out many crops, buildings and developments that would have
' escaped a less practiced eye!
First stop on the tour was the ultra-modern Gantenbien
dairy, where everyone had the opportunity to learn from
start to finish how and where milk production is
accomplished in modern times. Kurt and Dee Gantenbien are
very proud of their new facility, and enthusiastic in sharing
details with visitors.
A no host luncheon at the Nomad Restaurant in Boardman
provided a break, as well as a time for Bus Clough, PGE
representative, to join the group for the afternoon tour out at
the completed reservoir at the Carty Site. The tour then
traveled to Simtag Farms, where manager Sam Martin
acquainted the group with details of the huge operation,
" which includes potatoes, wheat, pasture, and livestock.
Around the Boardman town, many new homes and
businesses under construction were observed. Final stop on
the tour was the new County Office in Irrigon; then home
through the many new crops growing where once was desert.
Participants were: Vera Cooley, Ruth McCabe, Charles
and Bev Doherty, Miriam Brosnan, Carl and Mildred Rhea,
Sharon Biddle, Mike and Edith Mathews, Harold and Julie
' Hill, Harold and Edna Peck, Francine Evans, Rose Frances,
Ann Witt, Ralph Crum, Albert and Mildred Connor, Herbert
and Ann Imel, Delsie Chapel, Johanne Wood, Rachel
Harnett, Alvin McCabe, Mike and Jeanne Howell, Shawn
Howell, Bernard Doherty, Glenn and Bert Campbell, Pauline
Ewall, Laurel Cannon, Kenneth and Leila Palmer, Stan
Kemp, Frieda Slocum, Barb Bloodsworth, Birdine Tullis,
Harold Kerr, and Evelyn Black.
Women's Day'
receives praise
Three ages of women provided program for the "Women's
. Day" sponsored by Extension Homemakers' Advisory

, day's activities was a brief welcome and words of praise for
the women of the county by Harold Kerr, Staff Chairman,
Morrow Extension Service.
I A challenge to all women, "think about your successes, and
feel good about yourself," was part of the message from
special guest speaker, Marcelle Straatman, OSU specialist,
' as well as encouragement to those who chose to be
homemakers providing love and care to families in the age
when many are choosing work outside the home.
f Creativity was encouraged in a special presentation by
Erin Evans, 4-H member. "My Dad has the denim blues."
She then demonstrated how to make many attractive
garments and home furnishings from recycling old denim
jeans.
Following a no host luncheon, served by ladies of the Elks'
Lodge, Valerie Madison, IFYE to Switzerland, and OSU
graduate in Animal Science, showed slides of her stay in
.Switzerland, and shared impressions of the country and the
people. Valerie is an excellent representative of young
women from Eastern Oregon, choosing new and unusual
occupations or careers, and the accepting challenges.
' , Mistress of ceremonies for the event was Claudia Hughes,
with assistance and arrangements by members of the Home
makers' Advisory Group. Coffee hour and refreshments were
by Irrigon Study group; registration by Rhea Creek Study
group, and the attractive geranium table decorations by Pine
City Study group.

Homemakers help
senior citizen's homes
A new service to help the senior citizens is now
available in Morrow, Wheeler, and Gilliam counties.
Tri-County Homemakers Service is designed to
provide part-time help with household routines to older
adults who without such help would require
institutional care. These people are unable to hire
someone to help them with household chores.
Margie Robbins, supervisor of the Homemaker
program in the Tri-County area, said the office is
located in Heppner at the Gilliam Bisbee Building,
room 2 of the Tri-County Health Services Commission.
The phone number is 676-5131. Residents outside of the
area can call a toll free number, which is
1800452-8112.
Cost of the services is on a sliding fee schedule.
Priority is given to seniors who are over 65 and
disabled or homebound. Many senior citizens qualify
because they are on fixed incomes and the service is
free. The program is also available to other age
groups, but emphasis is placed on aiding the older
citizens.

related article in this issue.)
The meeting will close with
a film, "A Sense of Place,"
depicting the root causes of
hunger around the world and
what the Christian community
is doing to help to alleviate
this problem.
Tews said the meeting is

noted.
