i SIX The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, July 28, 1977 J fExtention Events... with Birdine Tullis (km I with Justine Wealherford s ) This week's column is being written in Portland where I am spending many hours at the Emanuel Hospital while Bill is having tests and is recovering from surgery on his neck. This large medical complex employes more people than populate Heppner, I think. It is a beehive of activity. Whenmy first son was born here over 36 years ago the entire hospital only covered one block now along with its out-patient services and extended-care buildings it must cover about seven or eight blocks and has acres of parking spaces. One change I don't appreciate is the closure of the nurse-training school. So many fine nurses came from Emanuel. Now the building where the girls lived during their student years is filled with offices. While I was waiting around I tried to reach our Lexington friend, Greg Davidson, for a little telephone visiting. I couldn't reach that busy, envolved, young businessman. His friend with whom I talked said that Greg had appointments for all of that day and was very busy most days. As we made four trips along the Columbia River we noted that many new islands have come into being during the low water period. I contemplated having the fun of naming some of those new bits of land. It was amazing to us to see the great number of expensive motorhomes and assorted recreational vehicles moving east or west along the highway. We wonder if the motels are suffering this summer because so many folks travel with their own accomodations? Also it is hard to understand how our country can be depressed economically when so many have invested so much in these deluxe travel arrangements. We know that they are not energy-conserving vehicles. Maybe all their owners drive little economy cars to and from the jobs where they earn the money for traveling so well. Ola Mae Groshen's mother lives very near my brother's home, where I stayed. I had a nice visit with Mrs. Hough on Saturday morning. Like her daughter, she is a pianist. She used to play in movie theaters, years ago. On Saturday evening I was able to take in some live theater. There is a good variety of live entertainment in Portland area this summer. My family arranged for us to attend the Portland Civic Theater's production of "Hello Dolly". It was a most delightful show easier to understand than the Shakespearean productions I have attended in Ashland quite a few summers past. Hopefully Heppner will be having live theater next winter under the leadership of Marsha Matthewson. Lt. Col. Lanham completes training Army Lt. Col. Michael C. Lanham, recently completed the 10-month course at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, Washington, D.C. His father, Conley J. Lanham, lives in Heppner.

Time is getting short for completing exhibits, putting the final pounds and polish on animals, and pre paring for contests and pre sentations. Four-H lambs were sheared at the fairgrounds last Sun day. Lee Palmer, lone, came in and skillfully removed the heavy coat of wool from a number of market lambs, which must be shorn to be shown. A 4-H thank you to Lee,. for spending a hot summer afternoon helping 4-H'ers pre pare for fair. If any member was unable to get their lamb in for shearing Sunday, Lee promises he'll be happy to shear one or two in the evenings, if members will call him at home and make an appointment, and bring them down to his home on lower Rhea Creek. Kids From Japan and Other International Things... Debbie Paustain and Tim Jones left Tuesday evening, July 19, on their long-awaited trip to Japan. Think about those two from Morrow Coun ty, and the many new exper iences they will be enjoying with their host families in Japan. Mardel- James, Heppner, has a Japanese pen pal who had told her she was coming to America this year under the same Oregon 4-H Japan La bo exchange. And Mardel lived in hopes that her pen pal, Yuko Endo, was coming to 17ociIc3 you sscsifico 2 oi youi? sflasid to save GIis wlioEe Held? So don't wait an other day. A couple of revolutions next month could make the year for you. Oregon. As time came nearer for Japanese exchangees to arrive in America, we sent in a request to our state office for information on where she might be staying. After many calls and much research, Yoko Endo was located. Much to Mardel's disappointment, Yoko is with a host family in Colorado, and will not be near enough for Mardel to visit, but it proved a point. The 4-H specialists at our state offices have a heart, and will do everything they can to answer a local request.' Zoi Michaeldon, PRYLE from Greece will be leaving our county on Friday, and she has been a busy girl while here. She was a special guest at Soroptimists and Chamber of Commerce, visited the Weavers Guild meeting in Pendleton, attended a wed ding in Roseburg, and a party in her honor by the women of Rhea Creek Grange, in addi tion to all the 4-H events and new experiences of living with a busy farm family during wheat harvest. Reminders... Horse Judging Contest will be at the fairgrounds Thurs day evening, July 28, 6:30 p.m. ' Eight 4-H members from Umatilla County will be pro viding the classes for our horse club members to judge, so it should be a good show of horsemanship, showmanship, and conformation classes, as well as the opportunity for members to check their skills on judging. State Fair judging team will be selected from the top judges at this contest. If you bet on rain and are about to lose, we can really help you. Put in a ValleyCenter Pivot, right now. And as a special incentive, we can offer the cash bonus from the factory for taking ad vantage of this in-season installation. Three summer finance plans are available, too. 1 . Flexible season payments 2. Lowest ever 10-year lease rate with minimum down 3.

There are other good reasons to install a Valley Center Pivot right now. Ask your self, do you think it'll cost less next year? Do you think good yields wait for rain?
