FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday June 22.
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. In
addition to the IFYE from
Belgium and the Japanese
La bo students, we now -have a
young Extension agent from
the West Indies scheduled to
our county for July. He will be
coming in under the PRYLE
(Professional Rural Youth
Leader Exchange) program
and will spend a week visiting
at the Tullis, Kerr, and
Nordheim homes while he
observes a 4-H program in
action in a rural area.
Arrangement for Shearing 4-H
Market Lambs
Lee Palmer, lone, has
agreed to shear Iambs for 4-H
members again this year.
Rather than schedule one
specific time for the shearing,
Lee requests that members
wishing to have their lambs
sheared, call 422-7485 to make
an appointment. He is willing
to shear lambs evenings or
Sunday afternoons. All mar
ket lambs must be shorn at
least 30 days, and not more
than 60 days prior to fair. We
appreciate Lee's help on this
project.
Exchange with British Co
lumbia All 10th and 11th grade 4-H
members were recently
mailed information and appli
cation forms for consideration
as the Morrow County repre
sentative on an exchange to
British Columbia. Four mem
bers from Morrow, Gilliam,
Wheeler and Sherman coun
ties are invited to participate
in the exchange, with trans
portation to Canada provided
by Ken Killingsworth,
Wheeler Extension Agent.
While there, the members will
live with host families near
Hanes, B.C.
An immediate reply is
requested from interested
members.

Summer visitors in our
county, courtesy of the 4-H
International Programs, will
allow us to share the cultures
of two very different coun

Four-H Youth Exchange) Eric
M.C. De Wulf, of Belgium, will
be arriving to spend a month
with the Roger Palmer fami

coincides with our camp
dates, so the Palmer family
has agreed to share him with
all 4-H by scheduling his time
to the camp.
A quick look at"his back

4-H Leader Salute
Rikka Tews and
Barb Peterson
Two leaders who have worked with their club from the
time most of the girls were just nine year old beginners. ..to
the present, when a number of the girls graduated from high
school! 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!

Pioneer Memorial Hospital's $190,082 levy
request to be voted on next Tuesday, June 27 by
Morrow County residents will cost about 9-cents a
day, per capita.
Last year Pioneer Memorial Hospital didn't
require any property tax money for operations, but,
this year we need your help. There is some
equipment needed for proper health care and
diagnosis and like everything else, the cost of our
supplies and keeping the hospital staffed with
competent personnel increases.
IVtore now than ever before, Morrow County
needs to maintain a modern health care facility.
The announcement this week that Heppner would
lose two of it's fine physicians means that to attract
new doctors, an operating hospital is a must to
supplement the fine medical clinics that Morrow
County has built in Heppner and Boardman.

and your family healthy and strong. Can we count
on you being at the polls next Tuesday with a
"yes" vote to keep your hospital healthy and

Please vote "yes" on the Pioneer Memorial

27.. .and think of all you're getting for just 9-cents a
day.
