David afld April HUtbfl Sykes, -Publishers Fair participation an opportunity "Participation in fairs is an opportinity and privilege for 4-H members. If they chose to participate, they are in effect asking for an adult (the judge) to give his or her opinion regarding the quality of their exhibit or participation. Having asked for this opin ion, they should accept it gracefully and learn from it." This statement comes from information given those who attend training sessions to become judges for 4-H pro jects. Members are encouraged to participate in fair events, as the county fair provides op What if ash falls on your barn? Particle size distribution and, therefore, bulk density of fallen Mount St. Helens' volcanic ash vary consider ably at various locations and distances from the mountain. The character of the fallout from successive eruptions of Mount St. Helens appears to : vary considerably as well. " Table 1 illustrates dry and wet bulk density variations found in ash collected near Yakima, Washington, and Hillsboro, Oregon. Yakima was blan keted with excessive ash from the May 18, 1980, eruption. The sample collected near Hills boro was from the June 12, 1980, eruption. The ash sample from Yakima appeared much as ocean beach sand while the Hillsboro sample appeared quite similar to dry Portland cement.

Table 2 illus trates the approximate roof loads caused by various ac cumulations of dry and wet ash based on the Yakima and Hillsboro samples. Most farm structures are designed to withstand a snow load accu mulation of 23 pounds per square ft.. Allowing accumu lation of greater than three inches of dry or two inches of wet ash is not recommended. Table 2 Approximate Roof Loads Caused by Volcanic Ash Accumulation Ash ORE 7 rerouted The revised routing of ORE7 in Baker, and Grant Counties was approved recently by the Oregon Transportation com mission. The new routing of ORE7 will read: Over the Baker Copperfield Highway from its junction with the Old Oregon Trail Highway (1-84), westerly and southerly to its junction with the La Grande-Baker Highway (common with US30) to its junction with the Whitney Highway in Baker; thence southwesterly over the Whitney Highway via Salis bury and Whitney tc its junction with the John Day Highway (US 26), approxi portunities for 4-H'ers to: show what they've learned and accomplished in 4-H to the public, develop project skills, develop responsibility and self-confidence, gain knowl edge, counsel, and encourage ment from judges and others, develop deadership skills by working with others, and assisting at fair, learn new and better methods, compare their work with a' "standard" and with other 4-H'ers, re ceive recognition and learn the importance of being both a good winner and a good loser, share ideas and make friends with other 4-H members.

However, roof slopes as flat as two inches rise per foot span have been reported as not retaining ash accumula tions during moderately light rainfall. Even at these flat slopes, the ash migrates toward the eaves without additional assistance. Spraying with ample quanti ties of water appears to be the most efficient method of removing ash from roofs. Attempting to sweep dry ash from the roof is not recom mended. However, care must be taken to not overload the gutters. The larger ash parti cles are considerably heavier than water and thus settle out rapidly. Gutters tend to ra pidly fill with ash causing plugging and structural fail ure. Numerous cases of gutter detachment from structures have been reported in Wash ington. After-effects of the soluble salt content of the ash can cause severe rusting problems on exposed metal surfaces such as ridge caps, gutters and drains. It is recommended that these surfaces be washed thoroughly with water and then painted with rust resis tant paint. mately 3.5 miles south of Austin. Under the program, ORE220 will be eliminated in its entirety. Sumpter Valley Highway (No. 410) will begin at the west city limits of Sumpter then proceed east erly to its junction with the newly designated Whitney Highway (No. 71). The revised routing of ORE7 eliminates that section of ORE7 that currently traverses the newly designated Dooley Moutain Highway (No. 415) between the John Day High way (No. 5) and the newly designated Whitney Highway (No. 71) near Salisbury.

Many consider using their microwaves to hurry up the processes. Dyeing yarns for weaving, melting wax for use in batiking. or drvine flowers are crafts activities that require extreme care if done in a microwave oven. Be coutious when using A kitchen appliances fro crafts. 1 Melting paraffin or any other wax in a microwave oven can be very dangerous. The wax may heat so quickly that the microwave oven may become severely damaged before you realize it. In addition, the manufacturer is unlikely to honor the warranty for this type of damage. Most war ranties provide for protection against faulty merchandise, not consumer misuses. Dyeing yarn is an untested OBITUARIES Percy B. Connor Funeral services for Percy B.

Dyes are composed of chemicals that may generate fumes which might cause long term damage to the oven, says Janice M. Weber, OSU exten sion family resource manage ment specialist. Drying flowers is a tricky issue. Some manufactures of microwave ovens have gone so far as to publish booklets telling consumers how to do it. Other manufacturers state clearly that their ovens are designed for food uses only and that drying of flowers oar other craft uses of the ovens will viod the warranty. If you are tempted to use your microwave oven to speed up the crafts process, check the use and care book that the oven manufacturer attached to your appliance. If you are not sure as to the possible outcome of such a venture, don't try it. USArmy from 1918 to 1921. He also served in the Merchant Marines during World War II.

Broken down to a front foot cost, the first proposal would cost the prop erty owners approximately $5.05 per foot for a 42-foot street;$4.61 for a 36-ft. street; $4.31 for a 32-ft. street or $4.16 for a 30-ft. street. If storm sewers were to be installed, the project would cost an estimated $11,000 more, but the city council indicated that proper drain age could probably be obtain ed without the need for the sewers.
