Summer School or
Summer Week
The events of summer begin
for 4-H members soon after
school ending. One of the
much anticipated events in the
lives of older members is an
opportunity to spend a week at
Oregon State University, par
ticipating in classes, and
meeting other members from
all over Oregon. -
While the name has been
changed from Summer School
to Summer Week, the op
portunities to learn and have
fun remain much the same.
Scheduled for June 13-18, the
event has attracted nine older
members from Morrow Coun
ty. They, along with chaper
one Marge Shade, will travel
to Corvallis by bus along with
members from Wheeler and
Gilliam Counties. Elva Mad
den of Wheeler County will
serve as delegate chaperone
for the three county groups.
Those attending are Melo
day Gochnauer, Lottie Laugh
lin, Debby Klaus, Sonja Bid
die, Heather Winter, Cathy
Palmer, Janet McElligott,
Nancy Miller, and Dee Dee
Rood,
Cathy Palmer has been
elected to attend the Marine
Science Workshop at Newport,
where she will have the op
portunity to learn about a wide
variety of subjects relating to
marine life. The Marine
Science workshop is con
ducted at the same time as the
Summer Week program in
Corvallis.
International
Summer also brings interest
in International programs
available to 4-H members, and
often brings International vis
itors to the county. The In
ternational Four-H Youth Ex
change program, which
brings college-age young
adults to America for a
six-month period, also sends
young Oregonians abroad for
the same period. Two Morrow
County families are hopefully
awaiting news that they have
been chosen to serve as host
families under the exchange
program this summer.
The IFYE program oper
ates under funds donated by
individuals, groups, or busi
nesses, and have recently
been much in need of ad
ditional donations. Oregon
was able to send only two
delegates abroad this year,
rather than the usual four,
because of funding problems.
To help finance the IFYE
program, the Irrigon Com
munity Club recently donated
part of the money they made
from their annual plant sale.
All such donations are ap
preciated, and the Community ,
Club members are congratu

For some years, twice
annually, a group of ladies
from the Rhea Creek Grange

4-H Camp Provides
Training Ground for
Boy Scout Leaders
Cutsforth Park has been
active this week, and many
new and different looking
structures have suddenly ap
peared around the park. In
addition, forty men and two
women have been busily
tramping the woods in their
khaki uniforms, topped with
red jackets and hats. The 4-H
is sharing their summer camp
facility for the week with
leaders of Boy Scout troops
from all over the Northwest.
The leadership training ses
sion for new Scout masters
and den mothers, with 27 of
those present in training and a
staff of 12 experienced camp
ers is designed to teach the
fine points of Scouting.
More Summer Fun Thru
4-H Coming...
Irrigon youth are reminded
a new and fun project will be
underway in that community,
just as soon as school doors
close for the summer. Creat
ive Arts through 4-H is the new
excitement, and plans call for
meetings on Thursdays, in the
park if the weather permits.
Francine Evans, a veteran
4-H leader, skilled in many
creative crafts, will provide
the leadership for the new
project, with assistance from
Birdine Tullis of the Extension
Office.
All young people are invited
to participate, and may re
ceive more information by
calling Ms. Evans, or the
Extension Office. Macrame is
the first project offered and
other arts and crafts will be
scheduled to provide summer
fun and education.
North End Office
The new office is completed
in Irrigon, which houses all
county agencies on alternat
ing days. Extension Service
has chosen Thursday as their
day to be in the office. Anyone
wishing to contact Extension
staff may call or drop by the
office that day. Messages may
also be left with the secretary
on duty for Extension, or any
agency that utilizes the build
ing. Office number is 922-4082.
The Dalles Livestock Show
Several Morrow County
youths will be showing ani
mals at the annual Wheat
Growers' Livestock Show in
The Dalles, June 5-8. All 4-H
members are invited to par
ticipate in a meats' judging
contest, held on June 6. Any
home ec. member interested
in participating in meats'
judging is asked to contact
Birdine Tullis, 676-9642. If
there is interest, a home ec.
team will travel to The Dalles
that day.

if his loss is one which may be helped. Some of the
causes of hearing loss will be explained, and diagrams
of how the ear works will be shown.
Everyone should have a hearing test at least once a
year if there is any trouble at all hearing clearly. Even
people now wearing a hearing aid or those who have
been told nothing could be done for them should have a
hearing test and find out whether the latest methods of
hearing correction can help them hear better.

stay in Bloss Hall, a modern
campus dormitory and meals
will be served at nearby

participants is staying in a
dorm and socializing with
others from across the state.

Refreshments will be provid
ed. make a very important uit
ference to any eligible cattle
operation in that any feed
purchased now for later use
could be eligible to be cost
shared when the feed is used if
the program is in effect at that
time. Eligible feed for cost
share assistance under the
Emergency Feed Program is
limited to the amount that will
have to be purchased, because
of the drought, in excess of the
amount normally purchased.
If this additional feed was
purchased before May 26, it
will be counted as feed on
hand. Any purchased from

caused by the drought.
More completed details are

The investment needed for
the program is provided by a
collection of .3 of one per cent
on the sale of each animal. It
is based on a value-added
system that guarantees each
person pays only his fair
share. The law provides this
could ultimately be raised to .5
of one per cent, but no more.
Sponsors of the program,
both local and national, urge a
yes vote if for no other reason
than the program is volun
tary. The law also provides
that any producer who does
not wish to participate may
ask that his contributions be
returned to him, and the Beef
Board will be obligated to
return these funds immediate
