F A, 'I -r - f Study groups will suit varied interests Summer is gone, the chil dren are back in school, and it's time for at least 700 women in Umatilla and Mor row counties to think about their Home Extension study groups. According to Extension Home Economist Molly Saul in Pendleton, the Home Eco nomics program has some thing of interest for everyone. Each month study group members discuss a timely topic that was selected by members of a two-county program development com mittee. There are also many lessons and workshops of interest to the general public. "This year's study group program reflects the variety of interests women in this part of Oregon have," states Mrs. Saul. Teachers of the lesson are volunteer study-group members who have been trained by members of the Oregon State University staff or other professionals. The October lesson is "An Assertive Experience." Those attending will learn how to express their needs and feel ings in an assertive, not agressive, manner. The No vember lesson is "Fire Safety and Prevention." Participants will use a check list to learn how to protect their homes from fire. In December all groups will study "The Foods and Customs of Greece." An understanding of the Greek culture and heritage will serve to widen the horizons of study group members, and help them appreciate people from other lands. All study groups will have a lesson of their own choice in January and May. In Febru ary the groups will discuss "Child Abuse." It is an awareness program to bring out the extent of the problem locally and what the average person can do to help. "Living with Change" is the topic for March meetings. Those at tending will learn how to live with the changing times and manage for an uncertain future. The final lesson will be "Unusual Fruits and Vege tables." Members will learn how to make meals more interesting by using less common fruits and vegeta bles. There are three study groups in Morrow County and 18 in Umatilla County. Most of the groups meet in private homes or community build ings. Mrs. Saul states that all interested persons are invited to join and or participate in study group functions. In addition to study group lessons, Mrs. Saul reports that a wide varietv of special interest workshops will be presented for the general public. Topics include food processors, estate planning, basic sewing, construction of blazers, use of whole grain cereals and backyard garden ing. A correspondence course on "The Middle Years" will be offered in February. This four-lesson course will provide information to help a person develop skills for handling the many challenges of growth and change during the ages 35-65.
