Morrow Extension Service
The Oregon Arts Commis
sion is organizing a special
project: an exhibit of tradi
tional folk art produced in
Oregon. They are asking the
people of Oregon to help them
discover and preserve the best
of our Oregon art heritage.
Do you know families or
individuals who have preser
ved quilts, rawhide work or
saddle-making or handmade
furniture, basketry, needle
work, decorative painting,
works in wood or bone, or any
other arts or crafts? Tradi
tional folk work of artists and
crafts people of today is also
wanted.
You can help with the
project by informing the
Commission about folk artists
working in your community,
and about pieces of Oregon
folk art and crafts in local
collections or families.
An exhibit of work collected
will be prepared in the fall of
1979 and will be on tour from
February through December,
1980. It . will be shown in
Oregon museums and in the
Renwich Gallery in Washing
ton, D.C.

We have manYfamilies who
have lovely heirlooms, as well

information so Morrow
County can be represented in
the exhibit.

Good news for Cindi Berg
strom and our county! Cindi,
as well as Lottie Laughlin, will
be traveling to Canada to
spend a week in the Frazier
Valley of British Columbia as
part of the 4-H exchange. Both
girls are delighted and excited

'well as see a part of Canada.
They will leave July 23 and

LABO News
Oregon families will wel
come 150 Japanese teen-agers
and adults into their homes for
a month beginning Wednes
day, July 25, as part of the
annual 4-H Labo Japan ex
change. One student from
Japan will be visiting at the
Bob Mahoney home, Heppner.
Leaving Sunday, July 22 for
Japan, will be 26 Oregon 4-H
members and two chaperones.
They will spend a month in
Japan living with families and
attending various Labo youth
programs. Steve Curtis, Hep
pner, an eighth grader, will be
among the 26 who depart that
day.
This' is the sixth year that
Oregon and Morrow County
has participated in the inter
national program. Labo is a
private after-school program
designed to help Japanese
youngsters learn English.
Japanese families send their
children to this country to
improve their language skills
and learn about a different
culture. Most of the young
exchanges are in the 12 to 14
year old age bracket. The two
way exchange was initiated to
further international under
standing. Oregon delegates,
as well as the Japanese
delegates, pay all their own
expenses.
This year the third segment
was added to the exchange,
with a special program for
adults to tour Japan for three
weeks. It includes a one week
stay with a Japanese host
family.
More information on the
adult Labo exchange program
is, available at all extension
offices.
Morrow County has partici
pated in the two way exchange
each year since the beginning,
either by serving as a host
county, or by 4-H members or
chaperone traveling to Japan.
Information is always on hand
concerning the exchange, so if
you'd like to know more about
it, call Birdine at 676-9642.
Wheat Growers Baking
Contest
I'll bet you received a lovely
blue and white fair premium
book in the mail this week! If
so, turn to page 51, get out
your ingredients, and bake the
' 1979 Oregon Wheatheart's
Spicy Prune Cake! Try it on
the family and plan to bake it
again for the baking contest at
county fair. If you have any
questions about ingredients,
pan size, or time to enter, call
me at 676-9642, or at home,
422-7274. You may not know it,
but I am Wheathearts chair
man for Morrow County this
year!
Suzanne Coppock, state
Wheathearts chairman, tells
me that the only baby food
prunes you can buy are those
with tapioca. Those are what
she uses in the recipe. She also
Pole employees drilled in
proper emergency techniques
Line crew employees from
Heppner and Condon at Col
umbia Basin Electric Cooper
ative, were drilled last week in
the proper techniques to
follow in the emergency
rescue of fellow linemen from
atop energized power poles,
according to Rod Aho, the
company's consumer service
representative.
"Besides the most obvious
situation requiring emergency
assistance receiving an
electrical shock a number of .
other situations can arise
which necessitate a pole-top
rescue," Aho said, such as the
lineman suffering a heart
attack, getting cleaning fluid
in the eyes, or breaking an
arm or leg.
Aho also noted that pole top
rescue is definitely not for the
amateur. Many problems can
arise which complicate the
rescue operation. It is much
more than a simple matter of
lowering the injured man
down the pole on a rope."
Proper rescue procedure,
Aho said, must be followed to
assure that the individual is
not further injured by an
improperly secured rope
which might cause extensive
damage to internal organs he
said injury could be more
severe than the accident
which necessitated the rescue
in the first place. "Additional
ly, extreme care must be
exercised to protect the line
man from entanglement with
power or telephone lines on
the way down," Aho added.
Other areas of safety train
ing given the line crews
included advanced first aid
and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

winner's name is engraved on
a lovely plaque, and a $10

Wheat On Our Minds
With wheat harvest going
into full swing, we'd like to
remind farmers and farm
wives that now is the time to
save some of their good crop
to enter in county fair. It is a
little late for perfect picking of
wheat for sheaves, but not too
late... give it a try! Threshed
wheat as well as sheaves, may
be entered at county fair as
well as all other grains.
It's great to enter in fair and
also a great decoration for the
home in our wheat country!
Also time to pick wheat if you
are planning to learn wheat
weaving this fall. It should
have been picked while in the
"dough" stage, but you can
still use it if that stage slipped
by and you have to pick it ripe.
Wheat exhibits from our
county fair go on down to
Salem to the Oregon State
Fair where for several years
Morrow County has won
("awards for best wheat-grain
exhibits. Let's do it again!
4-H horse Show Big Event For
4-IIer's
,The first event of the county
fair program happens far
before the actual fair,. ..that is
the 4-H Horse Show. Date this
year is July 29, an all day
event at the county' fair
grounds in Heppner.
The fact that it happens
early does not lessen the
importance of the event to
those members in the horse
-program. It is their big
opportunity to show what they
have learned, learn new things
and compete for the honor of
representing Morrow County
at the state 4-H horse show as
.well as for valuable prizes
given by many local donors.
It is a complete horse
show, including both western
and English events. There are
classes for all age groups
including showmanship, equi
tation, trail classes, colt
classes and judging contests.
One of the things the kids
appreciate is an enthusiastic
audience to encourage them to
do their best in all events. We
hope you will mark the date of
July 29 in red on your calendar
and plan to be there. These
kids are "top hands" and
you'll see a good show. There
will be no charge to attend.
Around About
Cont. from page 4
Wouldn't it be very great if block parties would become
popular, and we could all get better acquainted with our
neighbors all within distance and not involving any
imported energy.
A letter from Maxine Rolfness (Mrs. Stan) from Salem, a
relative of Phebe Bartholomew and family, tells me that
"Back in February in Arizona, Lila Myers gave me a copy of
your column on rules for early county teachers in which you
mentioned Edna Turner. We enjoyed and have shared the
article. I now have it in an envelope to mail to Elizabeth
Ashbaugh Deyo (a Heppner native and also a teacher)" I am
constantly amazed to find how this newspaper reaches out.
A few days ago I had a pleasing telephone visit with
Monica Swanson. She and husband Jim have just been
entertaining Margaret Hay from Scotland in their lone home
and showing her around local agriculture. Margaret was
very interested in the ongoing wheat harvest and in the
Anderson Earth Carpet enterprise. She said that the farm
equipment used here is much larger than that which her
family and neighbors use in Scotland.
Margaret came to visit the Swansons because in 1978
when Monica chaperoned a youth visitation to Japan she
became friends with another 4-H chaperone from California,
whose daughter had been an IFYE in the United Kingdom
and had stayed with the Hay family in Scotland. When
Margaret came to the U.S. on a grant to view American
agriculture, she came to California and the friend there
asked Monica if she would arrange an Oregon visit for her.
The Swansons picked her up in Salem and kept her in their
home for 5 days. Margaret has now gone on east to look
around Idaho and other states.
Monica and I have both now had a look at some of the
Orient and some of Europe, and we agree that we want to get
out in the world somemore to see so many other places of
interest. We are both so sold on travel as a great educational
tool and are enthusiastic about international youth
' exchanges.
If enough of our youth get to experience the inside of
other cultures, perhaps they will develop better understand
ings of world-wide problems. The energy crisis is a
world-wide matter not just a U.S. problem. The matter of
the refuge camps and the boat people needs much
understanding.
As I close, suggesting we stay home and enjoy our close
neighbors, I dream of hopping around the world a few more
times. I do not mean to use any extra fuel I dream of going
on an already scheduled big, comfortable, swift jet plane.
Hope you get aboard, too!
