Extension Homemaker Pro grams One of the oldest and most successful adult education programs in Oregon and the nation is about to begin classes again. "But the class es aren't in a schoolroom, they are held in living rooms, community centers, churches, or wherever an extension study group decides to meet. Most study groups meet once a month from Sept. or October, through May. Some meet during the day; others meet at night. Like the meeting place, the time each group meets is determined by those participating." If there is no group in your area or neighborhood, it is always possible to get a few friends or neighbors together and start a group that meets closer to home, or at a time more convenient. Women in the Heppner area may want to consider starting a group, since there is presently none there. Flexibility as to time and place of meeting is just one of the hallmarks of an informal adult education program that has brought new information to Oregon families for more than fifty years, according to Pat Collican, OSU Extension assistant director for Family Living-Home Economics. "People participate in the extension study group prog ram because they are eager to learn about relationships, doll ars, managing time and energy, or just to brush up on traditional homemaking skills such as bread baking or clothing construction." "We don't offer credit for our classes. What we do offer is know-how about every day living situations that make lives better," Collican emph asizes. Those participating in the program help select the sub jects they will consider each year at monthly meetings, as well as those that are offered as workshops or special inter est programs. This makes Extension unique. ..we are responsive to the needs and interests of people in the county in designing each year's educational program. At the same time, specialists based at OSU in Corvallis alert local program planning committees about important issues they see com ing about which families should be concerned. Extension prog rams reflect a successful blending of two resources: people and research. Four study groups in Mor row County will begin their programs in Septem ber with a training session on three topics. Leaders from each group will re-teach the topics studied during Oct., Nov. and Dec. meetings. All study groups welcome new mem bers. New groups may be organized at any time. Extension study groups in the county, and the persons to contact for more information are: Pine City, Nancy Myers; Irrigon, Nancy Rogers; lone, Monica Swanson; Rhea Creek, Frieda Slocum, or call Birdine Tullis, Extension Ser vice, Heppner, phone 676- 9642.
