Extension jLvems... with Birdine Tullis The cool weather and show ers didn't dampen the spirits of the leaders who gathered last Saturday night for the steak fry. While the change able weather caused some slight alteration of plans, the steaks were prepared on he outdoor barbeque, and eagerly devoured by the approximately seventy indivi duals who attended. H. Joe Myers, Extension Assistant Director in charge of Oregon 4-H programs, special guest for the occasion, shared thoughts on 4-H now and in the future, stressing involvement of families. The occasion also offered opportunity for leaders to meet the new 4-H and live stock agent, John Nordheim. Pins were presented to leaders in recognition of their years of leadership, along with thanks to each leader for their support and help over the past year. All agreed it was one of the best leader's nights. More International It appears that we are having a 4-H International summer in Morrow County.

During the space of time included they have had some of the most dedicated, enthusiastic, and active members in our program. Rikka and Barb were joined this year by Ruth McCabe in leadership of the older 4-H girls program in lone, and offered programs custom tailored to the girls' interests. Both are busy gals in addition to their 4-H leadership, with Rikka working in her nursing profession and Barb as assistant to teachers in the elementary school at lone, not to mention the fact that both are busy farm wives, involved, too, in community affairs. They have had a great 4-H club, and it is our hope that they will still be leading a club next year for they have members left to see on through high school years. Good leaders, we thank you!
