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.

Accumulations of either dry
or wet volcanic ash may cause
roof failures. 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.

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.

Roof slope will affect accu
mulation of volcanic ash.
Steep roof slopes will tend to
retain less ash than will flat
roofs. 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.

entirety. Sumpter Valley
Highway (No. 410) will begin
at the west city limits of
Sumpter then proceed east

Use common sense
with microwave
Summer is the ime when
many parents pursue crafts
; with out-of-school children.
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.

ovens. 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.

Fifty years ago when

were publishing the G-T, the
Star Theater was featuring
Jack Benny and Betty Bron
son in "The Medicine Man"
and Buddy Rogers and Jean
Arthur in "Halfway to Heav

the only way out for the wheat
farmers of the U.S. if they are
to be assured a profit on the
sale of their product, Alexan
der Legge, chairman of the
Federal Farm Board, told
representative wheat growers
of eastern Oregon.
For the first time in several
years an agreement has been
reached between the Heppner
Rodeo Association and the
Gilliam County Fair to hold
their attractions on non-conflicting
dates.

Twenty-five years ago the
estimated cost of street pav

against the abutting property
owners on a front, boot basis,
would be $48,747 for curbs and
type O-II paving, and $66,792
for the curbs and asphaltic
concrete paving. 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

more, but the city council
indicated that proper drain
age could probably be obtain
