' Looking for History
Oregon Extension Home
maker's State Council will
publish a history of Extension
home Economics and Study
Group activities this spring,
and has requested a brief
history of such from each
county in Oregon.
Thursday, Nov. 10, a group
of women will meet at West of
Willow, Heppner, at 11 a.m. to
pool their thoughts and mem
ories, and launch an effort to
put together information of
interest relating to the local
history of Extension activi
ties. Anyone with information
they feel would be valuable is
invited to join the group, and
assist with the effort! .
Speaking of History...
Twenty-seven homemakers
and one man, journeyed to
The Dalles last Wednesday to
observe the historical homes
and buildings there, and were
totally amazed and delighted
with their look at the history of
The Dalles. We recommend it
for everyone interested in both
history and architecture!
A free guided walking tour
is available, with informed
guides to share insights on
each restored home and
building. It is well worth the
hour's walk from the very old
courthouse, which is located
next to the chamber of
commerce, around the resi
dential area with the very old
home, and through the busi
ness district.
The tour group enjoyed
lunch at the Portage Inn,
where they viewed the old bar
from the "Umatilla House",
the ancient Indian worship
rock, and the remains of the
original Indian Settlement
Houses at the site.
Several museums and old
churches are included in the
tour, and many came home
with plans to return for more
extensive research and view-
ing of these. ?
The tour was sponsored by "
Morrow Homemakers Exten
sion Advisory Committee, and
included women from lone,
Heppner, Lexington, and Irri
gon. Leaders Training, Saturday,
