Seminar promises
outstanding speakers
By Birdine Tullis,
Morrow Extension Service
f ' With so much concern about
rising prices, many may want
to attend the Consumer
Awareness Seminar spon
sored by the OSU Extension
Service Oct. 22 at the Lloyd
Center Auditorium in Port
land. Outstanding speakers inclu
ding Esther Peterson, Special
Assistant to the President on
Consumer Affairs, Velma

and Resource Economics ; and
others, will present timely
information on rising food
prices.
To attend, a registration fee
of $2 is required, which can be
sent to Velma Seat, 231
Extension Hall, O.S.U., Cor
vallis 97331.
Everyone involved in the
4-H program the past year,
and everyone wanting to be a
part of the 4-H action for the
coming year, will want to
mark Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. on
their calendar of events. That
is the night when members
and leaders will be recognized
and new members given an
opportunity to get acquainted
with the program.
The special event, a potluck
dinner at the fairgrounds in
Heppner, is planned for all the
family. Those attending are
asked to bring a salad or
dessert to compliment the
main dish, which will be
furnished by the 4-H Council.
Members will receive pins
for past year activities, county
medals will be awarded, as
well as a slide showing of past
year's 4-H activities and
events. Each leader will be
asked to introduce their club
members and award the pins
for the past year, so that club
groups may be recognized.
"Expanding Horizons" is
the theme for the 1979-80 4-H
year and this program is
planned to get the year off to
an expansion of opportunities
for members and leaders.
Jerry Nicholson, Umatilla
County President of Women
for Agriculture, sends a spe
cial invitation to all farm
women to attend a meeting of
that group Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. at
the Tapadera Inn, Court
Street, Pendleton. They are
asking all agricultural inter
est groups, such as the
Cowbelles, Wheathearts,
Porketts, etc. to join them for
the first state monthly meet
ing held in northeastern Ore
gon. There will be a salad bar
luncheon at noon. Topics to be
discussed include world hun
ger, consumer interests, and
problems agriculture is fac
ing. For more information on
this event, call 567-7296 after
6:30 p.m.
Fall is making itself known
in the produce department as
new items arrive and others
disappear. Squash is plentiful,
but changing its skin. Less of
the soft-skinned summer
squash is in the stores. Now
the hard-shelled winter varie
ties, such as acorn, butternut
and hubbard are coming in
quantity.
Cabbage, broccoli and cauli
flower are excellent quality
and moderately priced. Local
peppers are still plentiful.
Other plentiful vegetables in
clude potatoes, onions, car
rots, cucumbers and fine-quality
local corn.
Local tomatoes are a deli
cious addition to fall menus.
Local tomatoes are picked
riper and are not good
keepers. Therefore, they are
not often found in the super
markets. California's heat wave has
damaged many of the leafy
vegetables and prices are up a
little. Head lettuce is still in
good supply and moderately
priced.
Peaches and nectarines are
just about gone. However,
Bartlett pears are abundant
and particularly good quality
this year. Cantaloupe, casa
bas and honeydew melons are
still in good supply. Bananas
are a little more plentiful than
they were and specials are
more frequent. Persimmons
should be in the markets
within the next week or two.
Their season is short, so
persimmon lovers should
watch for them.
Red and Yellow Delicious
and Jonathan apples are in the
markets. Rome Beauties
should be in very soon. Yellow
Delicious and Jonathans are
good all-purpose apples, great
for either cooking or eating
fresh. Red Delicious are best
eaten raw.
There are plenty of grapes
available, although prices are
starting to go up because of
storage costs.
The wholesale price of beef
has been rising and retail
prices are being raised ac
cordingly. One of the best
ways to extend your beef
dollar is to watch for specials
and buy extra cuts for the
freezer.
There are plentiful supplies
of pork and poultry. Prices are
moderate. Fishing weather
has generally been good; and
there are ample supplies of
fresh sole, snapper, perch and
cod. Salmon is available at
luxury prices.
College group
to visit lone,
Heppner schools
Representatives of Oregon
state colleges and universities
will be in lone, at the
Junior-Senior High School, at
7:30 a.m., and in Heppner at
10:30 a.m. Oct. 15, at the high
school.
The program is an opportu
nity for interested students
and parents to receive first
hand information about
course offerings, admission
requirements, housing, costs
to attend, financial aid, scho

college.
Information will be presen
ted about Eastern Oregon
State College, Oregon College
of Education, Oregon Institute
of Technology, Oregon State

State College, and the Univer
sity of Oregon.
The Oregon State System of
Higher Education visitation
program, now in its 47th year,
involves almost all public and
private high schools in the
state. The program's goal is to
stimulate post-high school
planning by students and
provide them with an intro
duction to the programs and
services of the state colleges
and universities.
Parents are urged to discuss
post-high school plans with
their sons and daughters
before and after the visitation
program .

Piersol Cleaners in Hermiston has been sold and the
new owners do not wish to continue driving to Heppner
to pick up cleaning. We have tried to contact another
cleaners to do the cleaning but it just isn't feasible.
This is to notify that there will be no more clothes
accepted at Black Mt. Repair and all cleaning should
be picked up that is there now. Sorry for the
inconvenience but it has nothing to do with us.

involved.

volunteers will go house to
house in lone to collect
donations. Tonight is the only
