The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, March 9, 1978 FIVE Extension Events .... ' Cathy Palmer Receives Union Faciiic Scholarship . Heppner High School senior, Cathy Palmer, who has been a 4-H member for eight years is one of five Oregon 4-H members named as winners of $400 college scholarships gi ven by Union Pacific Rail road. Seventeen-year-old Cathy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Palmer. Her plans for the future will take her to Southern Oregon Col lege at Ashland next fall, where she will enroll in pre-medicine. Cathy has been active in both home economics and livestock projects, serving as a club officer and junior leader. In addition, she is serving as student council secretary and member of the high school yearbook staff. Other school activities include girls sports, music and mem bership in the National Honor Society. Additional 4-H high lights were a trip to Japan under the Oregon-Labo ex change, and assisting with two Japanses exchangees and an IFYE hosted by her family. Union Pacific makes eight scholarships available to 4-H and FFA seniors in the seventeen counties served by their company. Three are awarded to 4-H; three to FFA, and two are at-large. This year both at-large scholar ships were awarded to 4-H members. We congratulate the out standing 4-H member for her achievements, and the recog nition of receiving the scholar ship.

A Thought to Share from Oregon Wheat Growers League Wes Grilley of the Oregon Wheat Growers gives us this fact for farmers to share with their city neighbors: There has been an increase of 24 per cent in the farm debt in just two years.. .and at the same time net farm income has also dropped 15 per cent. Morrow County is an agricultural county, and most residents un derstand farm economics. We sometimes forget that there are those who do not live close to the land, and do not understand !

There is never an attendance problem at this exceptional club... every member is eager to be there. Meetings take Saturday mornings. ..and many hours of preparation are carried out during the week. The articles the girls produce show the skills of both teachers and members. ...and usually win all the championship ribbons at the state fair.
