Fun at school Fringe benefits, like fun doing wok cookery with the Heppner Junior High Home Ec classes, are things that happen to me as a 4-H person. Many people may not be aware that this year a new home economics program has been started for junior high boys and girls, with Liz Curtis as instructor. I was delighted to visit their classes, and, boy, oh boy, did they ever cook up some good eating in the woks. The boys seemed even more interested in the oriental cookery than the girls, with several saying they were going home and repeat the recipes for dinner that evening. Actually, what impressed me most was the courteous attention they gave a stranger in their classroom, as well as how quickly they started their assigned duties. I have always felt that boys, as well as girls, should be given opportunities to learn homemaking survival skills, as well as to become wise started, and carried on as a result of the program. Actually, the trip is a bargain, when you consider Extension Events with Birdine Tullis consumers, so I left the school with the feeling that good things are happening in the home ec department. Horse workshop John tells me the Horse Workshop, Saturday, Jan. 13, at 1 p.m. at the Fairgrounds in Heppner, will go on; good weather, or bad. All interested persons are invited to attend, along with our 4-H members and leaders. Topics include, "Year-around Vet Care," "Proper Hoof Care," "Hay Judging," and "Horse Judg ing." John has recruited a number of excellent resource people to present the program and we hope you all can turn out for the training. LABO applications due Any 4-H member 12 through 17 years of age who is looking for an exciting summer this year, might want to investi gate the Oregon 4-H-Japan Labo Exchange. We have one applicant so far, Steve Curtis of Heppner, who has sent in his application to travel with the Oregon group. Applications are available at extension offices, and must include a $50 deposit. Remain der of the costs are paid in installments, to make it easier for families to manage the financing of the trip. Members visit Japan for a month, living in host family homes, learning and living the Japanese culture. Morrow County has had a 4-H'er traveling to Japan every year since the program was initiated, with many lifetime friendships that approximately $800 covers all costs for transporta tion to Japan, and a month's living costs! Call for more information. Awards and honors All award donors for the county fair events were con tacted recently, and asked if they wish to continue, or change their award. Since the 4-H section of the fairpremium book must be prepared very soon, we hope all will respond immediately. Anyone may sponsor an award for county fair, or for other 4-H events. We are always happy to add others to our list, so if you feel some area is being overlooked for recognition of achieve ment, feel free to call us. New knitting leader Debbie Hyatt, Heppner, is ready and willing to start a 4-H Knitting club in Heppner. Debbie, a former Wheeler County 4-H'er, is new to the area, and does not yet have a phone. Anyone interested in joining her club may call 676-9642, and we will see that she gets the message.

Wheat League to discuss new China market during Jan. 18 meeting in McNary The first 1979 meeting of the Oregon Wheat Growers League will be held Jan. 18, 1979 at the Columbia Inn in McNary, announced Earl Pryor, Condon wheat farmer. Pryor is the incoming presi dent of the state-wide wheat grower organization. According to Pryor, the purpose of the meeting of the board of directors of the Oregon Wheat Growers League (OWGL) is to "pri marily adopt the resolutions proposed at the annual meet ing of the OWGL on December 6, 1978." Pryor said that the OWGL uses the resolutions for a guide-line to policy for the coming year. Also on the agenda will be a discussion of the overseas market development program of Western Wheat Associates. Recognition of the People's Republic of China and coming trade policies will be dis cussed along with concern over the protection of the long-time wheat market of Taiwan, according to Pryor. "We're going to try some thing new," Pryor announced. "We are going to have an organizational workshop on the day after the board meeting, January 19, 1979. We have invited all the OWGL state-wide committee chair men and the OWGL county association presidents to spend the day working on specific plans for the 1979 coming year." Pryor said that the 1979 Oregon Legislative year will bring attention to many areas of agriculture. He cited specifically areas of taxation as particularly important. About 50 wheat growers are expected to attend the meetings. 4-H horse events slated 'Calf Survival' is topic of meeting tonight Harold Kerr, Morrow County Agent, announced that a meeting concerning "Calf Survival" will be held Thursday, January 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the Pendleton Grain Growers conference room, at the new facility on the (Hermiston) Hinkle Feedville road. Kerr notes that this is an excellent chance for cattle men to discuss problems with two area veterinarians and hopefully aid them during calving time. Morrow County 4-H Horse Leaders have set the dates for the 4-H Horse Show and the 'Tune-Up Show'. The 4-H Horse Show has been set for July 29, 1979. The same classes will be offered as in previous years, according to John P. Nordheim, Morrow County Extension Agent. There has been some clarifi cation work done on some rules. Nordheim also reported the addition of a new event this year a 'Tune-Up Show'. This has been set for May 27, and promises to be a fun day with 4-H members tuning up them selves and their horses. Fun classes include: Australian pursuit race, three man rescue race, back-to-back bareback equitation, bare back equitation and dollar bill ride. Also included in the day's events is a horse judging contest.
