Horse Christmas Party
4-H leaders always impress
ni with their creative ideas
for CKb activities, and this one
has to op the list! The
Two-Trackeis 4-H Horse Club,
with leader Merlyn Robinson,
are planning a "Horse Christ
mas Party" Sunday after
noon, December 11, 1 p.m.!
The barn at the fairgrounds
will be gaily decorated follow
ing the Christmas theme, and
horses are to come in costume
suitable to the season! The
club invites other local 4-H
horse groups to come join the
fun, and I believe they will let
anyone in to watch, as they
have planned games on horse
back, prizes, and fun, plus a
gift exchange and refresh
ments. (Any gifts for the
exchange should not be valued
over $2.) What a jolly holiday
idea. ..hats off to the Two
Trackers !
Sharing.. .A Part of Christmas
A special pat on the back to a
new colthing club! Members
Jennifer, Carolyn, Kimberly
Hughes, and Trish Mahoney,
the 4-H "Super Sewers", have
completed a delightful sewing
project, a gift of hand sewn
stuffed Christmas ornaments
for the state hospital. (Super
Sewers leader is Gail
Hughes.) Community service,
caring and sharing are impor
tant lessons we hope all
4-H'ers learn in their clubs,
and this group of beginning
sewers re-inforce our belief!
We know their precious gifts
will be enjoyed by those who
receive them!
LABO Exchange Coordinator
Shirley Palmer, Heppner,
has agreed to serve again as
coordinator for the exchange
program which offers our kids
the opportunity to travel to
Japan next summer, and at
the same time, for local
residents to act as host
families for incoming Japa
nese students.
The Palmer family are
believers in the value of
international exchanges, hav
ing served as host family for
two Japanese students, and
also for an exchange from
Greece last summer. Shirley
was coordinator for the Mor
row County-Japanese ex
change in 1976. Daughter,
Kathy, traveled to Japan as
one of the first Oregon and
Morrow County 4-H members
to be involved in the cultural
exchange. Any member of the
Palmer family would be
happy to share their enthusi
asm concerning the exchange.

Christmas Shopping Advice
Jan Weber, OSU Extension
Home Management specialist
tells us that manufacturers
have spread a mind boggling
array of small appliances
before this year's Christmas
shopper, and urges all shop
pers to consider two questions
before buying. Do you, or your
prospective gift recipient,
need it, and how much do you
have to spend on such a
purchase?
She also urges shoppers to
compare prices on small
appliances, as Christmas is
one of the biggest sales
periods for small appliances,
and competition for the con
sumer dollar is great. More
importantly, the purchaser
needs to decide if the appli
ance is really needed and just
what jobs need to be done.
Many appliances, such as an
electric fry pan can do many
jobs in the kitchen, actually
replacing a wide variety of
other small appliances.
Other factors to be consi
dered are where the appliance
will be stored for convenient
use, and size of the household..
..what works well for a two
person family may be totally
impractical for the family of
six.
Ms. Weber has recently
completed fact sheets which
give complete information
about electric fry pans, slow
cookers, mixers, blenders,
drip coffee makers, toaster,
and toaster ovens, and vac
uum cleaners. All are avail
able, free, at your lacal
extension office, and all con
tain valuable thoughts to be
considered before you buy!

At the Wednesday, Nov. 30,
meeting of Morrow County
Court, members discussed the

in early 1978. Discussion of the
levy was planned to be
continued at future meetings.

Brand fees higher
for ensuing year
Nearly half the 17,500 live
stock brands in Oregon have
not been rerecorded as re
quired by a law passed by the
1977 Oregon Legislature.
The new law shortened the
time a brand remains re
corded from five years to two
years and requires the rere
cording of all livestock brands
before December 31. The law
supersedes the old law which
did not require rerecording
until December 31, 1979.
All brands not recorded
before the end of the year will
be treated as new brands and
the fee for recording of new
brands is $25 per location of
brand. The fee for rerecording
on or before December 31 is
$10 per location. Location
refers to where the animal is
branded, as the hip, side or
shoulder. If an animal is
branded in more than one of
these locations, each location
is treated as a separate brand
and a fee is charged for each.

City of Umatilla post
Last week, Ann Spicer, a
new member of the Abrams
and Kuhn law firm in Hepp
her, was hired by the Umatilla
City Council to work three
days a week as city attorney
for Umatilla.
"It's just the kind of job I've
been looking for," she said,
adding that it would be some
time before her position with
the law firm would be more
than part time.
Spicer will prosecute justice
court cases, advise the city on
comprehensive planning and
update city ordinances. She
commented that in the past an
attorney has come in on an
irregular basis but growth in
the Umatilla area made the
three-day-a-week position ne
cessary. Spicer serves as a consult
