f Extension Events... Birdine Soup in the News If the numbers turning out to learn about soup... and slow cookers.. .at the training ses sion last week are any indication of what everyone is eating right now, there is a lot of soup being consumed in our county! The leader-teacher training in Irrigon attracted a crowd, and Molly Saul tells me the Milton and Pendleton sessions also brought out a lot of soup lovers! Have you tried peanut soup? Well, you might like it the gals who sampled at our training session found it an unusual change! We have copies of a variety of soup recipes from home makers in Morrow and Uma tilla Counties, and we'll be happy to share them with anyone wishing to come by and pick up a copy. I tried a number of them before the training session, and like them! "Is It Soup Yet?" is the name of the game for study groups in the two-county area in February. ..and anyone is welcome to attend a meeting and share the soup! Ron Campbell of 4-li Founda tion visited County While making a tour out to counties he had not yet visited, Ron Campbell included Mor 4-H Salute of the week.,.. Merlyn Robinson guides Two-Trackers This week we hope to give a pat on the back for work well done.. .and loyalty to the program to Merlyn Robinson, Heppner, leader of the Two Trackers! As I visited with Merlyn a few days ago, I was so impressed with the amount of time she devotes to the 4-H group, and also with her thoughts on the value of the club to each young person involved. Merlyn spends at least five hours a week with her club and program. ..and that is the winter months. Summer finds her devoting many more hours as the kids tool up for both Western and English events. She cites her rewards as "kids working together, helping each other" and the fun of new ideas and events to keep them interested. She feels the addition of English events has added to the overall horsemanship skills of her club. And her club keeps growing.. .like all 4-H leaders, it is hard for her to say "no" when a new member wants in! This year she has felt lucky to have the able assistance of Ann Schwarz and Judy Eckman to help her keep the group growing and going. We say. ..it is a really great horse club.. .and thank you, Merlyn!

It is interesting to hear that the Foundation is broadening their program, making grants available to 4-H clubs, or county programs, who need financial help for special programs, as well as an update on progress of the 4-H Center near Salem. Ron has quite recently assumed the position as direc tor of the 4-H Foundation, and planned his trip to the counties to become more aware of programs in all counties. While in the county he met with Louis Carlson, our repre sentative to the Foundation, and Jim Hayes, president of south Morrow 4-H Council. Working on Fair Plans All 4-H Home economics and creative arts leaders were mailed letters this past week, asking if they wished to serve as superintendents at county fair next summer. It is necessary that we have names of those willing to help prior to the publication of the county fair premium book. Parents are also very welcome to help with the events of county fair, in fact we'd be super delighted to have some volunteer! We will surely appreciate hearing soon! AUTO. TRANS.
