Birdine The excitement, challenges, and events of the county fair have now become a memory for all who participated, and 4-H moves on to thoughts of a new year ahead. But before we close the book on that important event in the 4-H year, I would like to share the contents of a brief note I found on the seat of my car late one evening as I started home from the fair. ..I think it said a lot. "Dear 4-H Leader, Judges, 4-H Committees. ..Thank you for helping us 4-H'ers on sewing & cooking, etc. We all appreciate it! Thank you!" The note was not signed, except for "Love.. .all 4-H'ers" and it was written by a young member, as evident by the handwriting. To me, it is a great feeling to know that the members do appreciate all that leaders and others do for them throughout the year. That's 4-H! State Fair Reports More Morrow 4-H'ers than ever before have trekked off to Salem to participate in events at the big State Fair this year. I saw them everywhere around the fair grounds, participating and just enjoy ing the sights of the fair. Also much in evidence were Mor row FFA members, there to participate in events special to them, along with their ad visors. The outreach of the 4-H program is evident, as kids from Morrow County im mediately identify those from other counties they have met at summer school, camp, and other multi-county events. Reports are coming in on exhibits sent down to state fair, as well as those who are there participating, and Mor row County fares well in state FFA officers attend camp Heppner Future Farmers of America officers recently traveled to Cove where they attended a co-district leader ship camp. President Krynn Robinson, Vice predisent Geri Grieb, .

Planners deny zoning request The Morrow County Plan ning Commission last week denied an application by Dallas Wilson, Boardman, for a zone change from Farm to Farm Residential for a 3.5 acre tract of land in the Boardman area. An accompanying applica tion to build a multi-family dwelling on the same property was also denied. In making his application to the commission, Wilson said the property is not suited for irrigation due to the slope. He said the area could best be used for residential develop ment.

Local author tells family story By Justine Weatherford An K8-page book "A Certain Time. ..A Special Place" is the latest publication by a Morrow County author. The new author is Lexington ranchwife and Heppner teacher, Lucile Urey Peck. Her family chronology relates the story of her husband Kenneth Peck's historic family and of the growth and development of their farms in Morrow County during the past century. The author handles her narrative material from an impersonal viewpoint, writing as if the land itself is telling the story of what has taken place on it, of the non-humans and humans who have trod on it and come to dwell there and of their enterprises. The first white man of consequence was Clinton North Peck who came from Michigan. His story is very interesting. The land where he settled is known as Clarks Canyon which was named after a Clark who settled at the mouth of the Clarks Creek where it flows into Willow Creek in 1864. The Kenneth Pecks still live on this land. Other Pecks are also farming in the area. Lucile dedicates her book to her husband Clinton Kenneth Peck whom she married in 1943 when he was an officer aboard the USS Enterprise. They settled on the Peck farm logether after the war's end in 1945. Kenneth now farms with his son, Stephen Kenneth Peck. Lucile and Kenneth also have a daughter, Martha Lucile Peck Andrews, and now both Steve and Martha have brought them grandchildren. Near the ending of Lucile's book she has included a lovely poem "Windy Day" which was written by Martha about the time she was graduated with many honors from Heppner High School. Martha and her husband, Jim Andrews, are both Portland architects. Lucile states that she had long wanted to write this story and only recently, when she was on leave from her public school teaching, could she find the time to set it down. It was her sort of special Bicentennial Year effort. Six trial copies were printed in 1976 before Christmas, and now the East Oregonian has printed 100 copies, which Lucile is offering for sale. This book has been copyrighted and carries a library of Congress number.. The attractive, golden-covered "A Certain Time. ..A Special Place" includes 30 pictures and diagrams and concludes with a careful bibliography and index. If you enjoy local history this is definitely a volume you should add to your Morrow County shelf. I could not put it down until I had read and enjoyed its every page. I think I shall be refering to it every now and then from now on. A few of these books are being offered to the public, at the Peck's home, at Turner, Van Marter and Bryant and al the Heppner Public Library. Mrs. Peck presented an autographed copy of the book to the library where it will be circulated A Central Market Oregon Potato Inc.
