i ii4 1 ,1 '4 'I 1 FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, June 8, 1978 Extension Events... with Birdine Tullis (5 am This is a good time to plan ahead for summer food pre servation. For those planning to can food products using pressure canners, this would include having gauges checked. It is imperative that this be done at least once a year to insure accurate pro cessing time. While this ser vice is not available locally, it is possible to have gauges checked at the Coast to Coast store, Pendleton, or another store in Walla Walla. It is only necessary to take the gauge you do not have to take the entire lid and there is a small charge for the service. All nonacid vegetables, meats, fish and poultry must be canned by pressure. Fruits, tomatoes and pickles may be canned by the water bath. If you are in doubt about any food preservation method, extension officers have the very best information con cerning cannind, freezing, drying, and jams and jellies. The information is free to you. Other food preservations helps will be available to Morrow County liomemakers this summer when Extension presents special programs on freezing foods, as well as food drying. Fair Premium Books Avail able Now All 4-H families were mailed fair premium books recently by Fair Board Secretary, Liz Cur is, as well as other individuals' or families who exhibited at county fair last year.

Many local ranchers and pet owners know her as the very efficient nurse in the Hermiston Veterinary Clinic a job from which she recently retired or as the owner of Acock and Sons registered Hereford cattle. But we know her as some one who really loves kids always there to help not only her club members, but any other kid who needs a helping hand. The Acock Ranch always makes its calves available to 4-H and FFA members at a price the kids can afford, because they , know the value of starting with a good animal. We look , forward to seeing Helen at County Fair. We know she'll be there, helping contact buyers for the auction, and seeing that everything is done to help the kids have a good experience with their projects. Helen Acock, we salute you as a 4-H leader and a person! z Z LU LU y u LU CO LU I z o z a u a x g z I z LU LU LU y Qi.
