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!

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!

row County, to bring us up to
date on what is happening
with the 4-H Foundation. 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!

The conference report ex
plained the hard work, the
many accomplishments, se
veral problems and various
interesting events the 2,000
official delegates and about
17,000 observers experienced
in Houston. Hilden pointed out
that there were two large
factions, the "pro-plan" dele
gates, about 80 per cent, and
the "pro-life" delegates who
opposed the E.R.A., abortion
and gay rights. Hilden worked
with the pro-plan group.
