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.

4-H Events Point To County
Fair
On the 4-H scene, most
activities will be pointing to
county fair. 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

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. Interest free interim financing
So, call us today and keep in mind that
you don't damage more than 2 of a stand
by installing AFTER the crop is in. We'll
treat your field like it was our own.
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? And
you could probably swing a deal easier
with a well driller at this time of year.

New Addition To Fair Plans

has been added to county fair
plans.. .and it is just for 4-H
leaders. Thursday morning,

Louis Carlson, lone, is in
charge of plans for the special
event, and he encourages all
leaders to check this date and
plan to be there. The event is
planned as a special appreci
ation to leaders and the many
contributions they make to the
program, as well as a time to
discuss and evaluate fair
events while they are fresh in
mind.
Pre-Registration For Home
Ec Events At Fair
All home-ec members will
receive a pre-registration
form this week for events at
county fair. They should be

or no later than August 12th.
Anyone with questions should
call Birdine.
Food Drying
There is much interest in
drying foods that was evi
dent at the special program on
drying fruits and vegetables
presented in Irrigon last week.
Everyone likes the dried fruits
and leathers, and many people
are making their own dehy
drators from extension plans.
Almost as many men as
women attended the program.
Information on making the
dryer, as well as drying fruits
and vegetables, and fruit
leathers, is available free at
the Morrow County extension
office.
