Changes have been made to make the conference a new experience, while still allowing the dele gates to meet the Governor, and other state officials.

Those representing Morrow County will be given opportunity to share their experiences with other 4-H'ers on their return from the conference.

Clothing and fabric stores on main street Heppner pro claim. ..It's spring! If you, too, are thinking of buying or sewing new spring fashions... here are a few tips ! The biggest fashion trend for women this year is skirts, either as part of a dress, or worn with bouses. Feminine details include tucks, gathers, ruffles, lace and trims. Big, loose, and long are the key words to describe the silhou ette. Watch for blousons, bigger vests and softly con structed jackets, as well as dirndle and tiered skirts. If you are sewing your own, you may want to spend some time with special construction techniques. Quilting and tuck ing should be done before the pattern pieces are laid on fabric. Lace inserts a re easy... stitch the edges of the lace on fabric at designated places... then cut away the fabric behind the lace. Accessories in the news again include shawls of all types, especially big squares. These are easily made by cutting a square of fabric and fringing the edge, or edging with lace or purchased fringe. A 54 inch square is a nice size. Sandals are the shoe news for all outfits, with tiny straps... and all heel heights. Lingerie is even in the news with camisoles showing through the sheerer fabrics of . the new softer blouses or tops.

Thirty one 4-H and FFA steers were weighed and evaluated last Saturday, with bur friendly neighbor Ken Killingsworth, Wheeler Coun ty, giving expert advice to each member as they brought their animals to the scales.
