' 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. Consumer Services Directory

copy of the "Consumer Ser
vices Directory" is waiting for
any one wishing to have a list
of agencies and the consumer
areas that come under their
:u:l:t.. T 1
statewide independent agen
cies are listed, as well as state
agencies. The resource was
prepared, and recently re
vised, by Debra Slater, OSU
Extension family and con
sumer economics specialist.
Any one attending a study
group meeting in March will
receive a copy; or they are
available by calling 676-9642.
What do you do when you
have a problem with a
purchase or a service? Debra
shared information with
leader-teachers recently on
how to write a letter of
complaint... and other ways to
handle problems. Attend a
March study group meeting,
and learn all about it.

League Cake...
We have received a copy of
the official recipe for this
popular contest. ..and oh, boy.
it sounds like one every one
will like! A fudge-mallow cakt
with chocolate cream cheese
frosting.. ..not as simple to
make as last year's cake... but
sounds mighty tasty. Watch
for the recipe to appear in this
newspaper. Any county resi
dent over 21 may enter the
contest, except professional
bakers.
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 !
College Student Opportunity
College students wishing to
serve as counselors for 4-H
Summer Week, June 12-17,
will find application forms
available at any extension
office. Applications are due in
Corvallis by April 14.
Focus on Women
Have you heard about the
Women's Day at Blue Moun
tain Community College, April
14-15? Sponsored by BMCC,
Women's Concern, and others
....I picked up a flyer concern
ing the program, and felt it
might be of interest to a lot of
women I know! Child care is
provided, and workshops on
such interesting subjects as
Assertiveness, Self Esteem,
Re-Entry - (back to work),
Transition (widowhood-divorce)
and other topics relat
ing to interests of women
today. You'll see more about it
soon, or call 276-1260 for more
details. Costs nothing!

4-H Leader
Eileen
Linda
Phyll
We are so proud of three leaders who cooperate in
offering a delightful, creative opportunity to a dedicated
group of 4-H girls. If you have ever walked through the 4-H
department at county or state fair.. ..you've seen the Tole
painting! It is so exceptionally well done. ..and so beautiful.
Their skills as teachers can not be praised enough. Eileen
Padberg, Phyll Piper, and Linda Padberg are the leaders of
the "Tippy Tolers" club, with twelve lucky girls as members.
The girls are learning an art that will provide them with
creative use of time throughout their lifetime. ..as well as a
money making project if they wish to use their skills that
way.
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. In addition
to sharing their talents with 4-H members, the three
dedicated teachers also serve as BMCC instructors, sharing
their skills with adults in our area as well.
Salute.. ..Eileen, Phyll, andLinda! 4-H is mighty proud of
each of you!
