the Honeybee" by Danette
Daltoso, Boardman, received
second place in the state
contest sponsored by the
American Beekeeping Feder
ation, Inc. Our information
tells us that is was a very close
second, along with a comment
from the judge indicating he
found the literary ability of the
4-H members entering the
contest impressive. We are
always delighted when 4-H
members take time to enter

Metric is Coming!
Study groups in Morrow
County will be ready for the
change to metric with the
topic for May meetings giving
them opportunity to relate to
the metric system in foods and
fabrics. Training for the
leader teachers of each study
group was presented April 25,
by agent Molly Saul. Those
attending the training serve as
teachers in their study group
meeting. Most of us resist the
thoughts of metric as we feel
concersion is confusing. The
metric system is actually
much simpler than the one in
use now.
Extension study groups are
open to all, and you'll find a
warm welcome at any one!
Rhea Creek group meets the
first Tuesday each month;
Irrigon group the first Wed
nesday, and Pine City the
second Wednesday. Call 676

ing places.
Food Fair
Both the Irrigon and Pendle
ton Food Fairs were super
successes. Throngs of inter
ested spectators turned out to
learn about the wide variety of
foods demonstrated. The only
complaint voiced was "But I
wanted to see everyone!"
It was a hard decision for
most to make... for . every
demonstration was a food
product you just don't have
the opportunity to learn about
every day. Demonstrations
included : Bagels and pretzels,
Jeanna Jowell ; Crepes, Fran
cine Evans; Pocket Bread,
Valerie Madison; Indian Fry
Bread, Ruby McFarland;
Puri or India Bread, Dorris
Graves; Wok, Birdine Tullis;
Grinding wheat and whole
wheat foods, Fred and Helen
Nelson; Mixes, Lousie Forth;
Pizza, Vera Cooley; Noodles,
Gladys Hobbs and Doris
Murray; Cream Puffs, Ruth
Klaus; Foods with no wheat,
no sugar, Grace Harvey;

for everyone attending. Re

demonstrated were given out,

event.
We saw some extension
agents from neighboring coun
ties in the crowd, and suspect
they were out to scout the
event with plans to offer a
similar event in their counties.
A very special thanks to each
of the above who presented
demonstrations. We said last
week that volunteers are
special people.. .and we really
believe it!

4-H Leader Salute
Barbara James & K en
Miller on gardens
Spring seems a good time to tell the world that we have a
4-H Garden and Flower Club. ..and shine the spotlight on
leaders Barb James and Ken Miller! We know they have
busy times ahead for their club, with Barb sharing expertise
on vegetables, and Ken his interest in flowers. Barb's
interest in plants have recently blossomed into a business at
home, "Barb's Plant Seller", and Ken is the Rev. Ken Miller,
Heppner Episcopal Church.
How fortunate we are to have two such fine people,
willing to share their love of the earth's beauty with a 4-H
club! We consider their club a valuable addition to the 4-H
program of our county!
