goodies' to be offered
By BirdineTullis
Morrow Extension Service
Goodies with Grains
Just in time to help with
Christmas goodies, Extension,
Wheat Commission, and
Wheathearts are cooperating
to offer lots of ideas about
using whole grains in new and
familiar foods.
Here's your chance to see
and learn about grinding
grains, as well as how to use
them and shore them for
future use. Ways to use basic
mixes for quick and easy
products will be demonstra
ted, as well as how to make
and shape yeast breads.
Special attraction for the
season will be making a
variety of gift or Christmas
breads from a basic dough.
New ideas for using oats as
well as whole wheat pastries
will be included in the
program. Grain grinding will
be demonstrated by Fred and
Helen Nelson of Lexington,
farmers who are experienced
in grinding and using their
own wheat. They can answer
all your question. Mrs. Nelson
bakes all their bread, using
grains they have ground.
Suzanne Coppock, state
Wheathearts chairman, will
share expertise on making
and shaping yeast doughs.
Suzanne has a number of
favorite recipes and tech
niques she will be sharing.
Christmas ideas from basic
doughs will be shown by
Francine Evans, an experi
enced baker of many good
food products. Other demon
strators will be Bev Daniels of
Pilot Rock and Mary Lou
Fletcher, Louise Forth and
Roberta Townsend all of
Pendleton.
There will be door prizes, as
well as recipes for all food
' products demonstrated at the
free event. Plan to attend this
special program at the A.C.
Houghton School in Irrigon

It's Greek To Me!
It maybe Greek, but it sure
is good! That was the feeling
of the large number of people
who received information con
cerning Greece; the foods and
customs, from Monica Swan
son at the special training for
leader teachers last week.
This will be the topic for
each study group in Morrow
and Umatilla counties for
December and we are sure the
foods will be especially de
lightful to those attending.
Monica was an IFYE to
Greece after her graduation
from OSU, and her memories
of experiences were renewed
by her presentation of slides
and experiences. She is an
enthusiastic supporter of" the
IFYE program and is always
willing to share her home with
in-coming IFYE's, as well as
her program relating to her
experiences abroad. A special
thanks to Monica for provid
ing a delightful program for
homemakers in Morrow and
Umatilla counties.

consi'der action on contracting

. plan under consideration calls
for a continuation of the

blessed by Pope John Paul II during his visit to the National
Shrine of Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on

son of James D. and Judith Monahan. Matthew Sean's
grandfather is James M. Monahan of Heppner. A papal
spokesman indicated that Matthew may have been the
youngest person personally blessed by the Pope during his
United States tour.
'Depression glass' topic
at Topic Club Meeting
Plans for a food sale Dec. 14
were discussed at last week's
meeting of the Topic Club in
lone. The club met in the
country home of Martha
Petersen with Shirley McNary
assisting.
The business meeting was
conducted by Margaret Mor
gan, club president. Reports
were given by Helen Proud
foot, librarian, and Rose
Baker, who outlined the ar
rangements for the food sale.
Shirley McNary presented a
very interesting program on
Depression glass. She has a
very large collection of this
glass and brought many
pieces of glass for display.
She noted that the term
"Depression glass" refers to
inexpensive colored glass
ware made mostly during the
'30's. A few patterns were
made in the late '20's and
some even went into the '40's.
Almost all depression glass
was made by machine. Some
were made by the chipped
mold method (Rosemary),
some by the paste mold, and
so on, but the mold etched
technique was unique to this
era.
Mold etched is the process
by which a pattern is etched
with acid into the iron mold
itself, rather than directly on
the glass. The pattern to be
etched into the mold is first
laid out on a steel plate, which
has been covered with an
acid-resistant wax. The pat
tern is cut into the steel.
Patterns made from these
molds can usually be identi
fied as those which stand out
in relief.
Guess What ?

Major companies making
depression glass were Fed
eral, Hocking, Jeannette, Im
perial, Indiana, Hazel-Atlas,
and MacBeth-Eveans. The
colors were mostly pink,
green, amber and a yellow or
topaz. Some patterns were
made in cobalt-blue and
burgundy. A few were made in
light blue and some in
ultramarine blue. There was
also a black opaque glass, red
glass and some opaque glass
known as Monax, cremax and
ivrene. Most patterns were
made in crystal, but it is not
very popular with collectors.
Minimum wage
to increase
The state minimum wage
wil increase to $2.90 an hour on
Jan. 1, 1980, according to the
Oregon Bureau of Labor nd
Industries.
The increase is the second
step of a two-step increase
authorized by Senate Bill 916.
The first step raised the
minimum wage from $2.30 to
$2.65 an hour when the bill was
signed last July 25.
Generally, the state mini
mum wage covers small
businesses with a volume of
less than $250,000 or those that
are not engaged in interstate
commerce. Larger businesses
are covered by the federal
minimum wage.
Questions concerning the
state minimum wage should
be directed to the Bureau of
Labor and Industries at 1-800-452-3503,
toll free, or 229-5735
in Portland.
During six months in Fin
land as an exchange student,
Blanche Grover of Brookings,
Ore., discovered the Finnish
people were much like Ameri
cans. Miss Grover, touring the
state under auspices of the
Oregon State University Ex
tension Service, showed slides
of her experiences and spoke
at the Heppner-Morrow
County Chamber of Com
merce luncheon Monday at
the West of Willow Restau
rant. She was introduced by Jon
Nordheim, 4-H Extension
agent for Morrow County.
"I was in Finland for six
months and stayed with seven
different familes while there,"
i Miss Grover said. "I looked
for differences but the longer I
was there the more they
seemed like Americans."
She went to Finland under
the International Four-H
Youth Exchange (IFYE), vis
iting in rural communities
from the Arctic to the Baltic.
Her pictures showed groups of
people in their national dress
but much of the time, she said,
they dressed as Americans do.
One series of slides showed
bread-baking in a home. The
oven was part of the living
room fireplace. The loaves
were round and flat, placed
directly on the floor of the
oven after it had first been
heated with a fire.
"I realized that everything
wasn't different (from Amer
ica), when I saw this Finnish
grandmother just as proud of
her grandchildren as any
American," Miss Grover said.
One third of Finland is north
of the Arctic Circle, she said.
She spent six weeks in the
Arctic during the summer
when the sun never went
below the horizon. She learned
that in the winter there are
five weeks of total darkness.
Aging advisory counqil
to hold meeting
. Paul Jones of Heppner,
chairman of the Area Agency
of Aging Advisory Council,
said the group's next meeting
will be held at the Weston
Senior Center, next door to the
post office at Weston, starting
at 10 a.m. Dec. 11. Lunch will
be served at noon.
Many of the slides were of
farming scenes. She said there
are few beef cattle and the
average dairy includes six
milk cows. Silage is impor
tant, with three or four
cuttings of grass each season.
In northern Finland, birch
branches are bundled and
stored until winter, when they
are used as animal feed.
She said the Finnish people
are conscious of their neigh
bors, the country being sand
wiched between Russia and
Norway. One man told her:
"Russia is our 'big brother'.
You can choose your neigh
bors but you can't choose your
relatives."
"They do have a Communist
party in Finland," she added,
"but it is more of a Marxist
communism than that in the
Soviet Union."
She said English is now a
required language in the
schools. For older people,
German had been the required
foreign language so, many of
them do not speak English as
well as their offspring.
The population of Finland is
xk million with Helsinki
having 500,000 people. Most
smaller cities average 30,000,
she said.
Patients at the Pioneer
Memorial Hospital in Heppner
who have been admitted and
then discharged for the week
ending Dec. 3 are:
Betty Christman, Lexing
ton; Peter Barker, Condon;
Charles Allen, Fossil, Clifford
Wheeler, Celia Mattison and
Shawn Hisler, all of Heppner.
Patients still in the hospital
are Andy Harshman of Lex
ington; Georgia Gitchell, Ellis
Saling, Francis Mitchell, Ella
Smith, Maxine Smith and
Jack Ployhar, all of Heppner.
