Morrow Co. busy during National 4-H Week
By BIRDIN'E Tl'LLIS
Morrow County
Extension Service
It is 4-H Week, and all over
Morrow County leaders are
looking back over the past
year and making plans to get
their clubs rolling for the
coming year.
National 4-H Week is tradi
tionally both an end and a
beginning in Morrow County.
It's a time for annual events to
recognize those who have been
involved in the program, as
well as special events such as
sign up nights to introduce
new leaders and members to
the OSU Extension Service
youth development programs.
John Nordheim and Birdine
Tullis, of the Morrow Co.
Extension staff will be re
cruiting members in fourth
through 12th grades at schools
in the county. They'll have
their sights set on convincing
adults that volunteer leader
ship is rewarding as well as a
vital contribution to develop
ment of our local youth. They
believe that every boy and girl
should be a part of the 4-H
program, and hope to show
projects that catch the fancy
of each individual.
With the beginning of the
1982-83 4-H program, many
help sessions for leaders and
members will be scheduled;
This is Nat'l Spinning

The aim of the ecumenical
workshop is to provide a
model of a program that par
ticipants could then put on. on
a smaller scale, in their parish
or neighborhood church be
bore November 2, and also to
encourage a process on long
term, ongoing peacemaking
education in every church.
Although some congregations
are already involved in such a
process, they may lack the
leadership and resources ne
cessary to begin, said a work
shop spokesperson.
The workshop is designed
for anyone who is seriously
concerned about the possibil

wants to promote a message 1
of hope. It will emphasize the
theological implications of the
arms race and why people
should be involved.
Participants in the work

about the devastating conse
quences of the spread of nu

their common bond as peace

Secretary of Agriculture
John R. Block recently an
nounced a payment schedule
under which eligible farmers
will receive deficiency pay
ments on 19H2 crops and ad
vance deficiency and diver
sion payments on 1983 crops,
said the Morrow Co. Agricul
tural Stabilization and Con
servation Service office.
Block said as soon as possi
ble after December 1 eligible
wheat and barley producers
will receive all their deficien
cy payments due under the
1982 crop program and eligible
corn, upland cotton, grain
sorghym and rice farmers will
receive 70 percent of the 1982
crop deficiency payments due
them, the office reported.
The remainder of the 19B2

corn and grain sorghum pay
ments will be made after April

Secondly, it can be useful to
farmers to have their insur
ance arranged before they
visit with their lenders about
production loans. Insurance
helps to minimize the uncer
tainty involved in the year
ahead cash flow projections
that many lenders today re
quire. Third, an early application
allows additional time for
growers to verify yield re
cords which are required to
qualify for increased insur
ance protection.

Illegally cut firewood to
go to local seniors
a 1-7. vi: ' . -" " ' ' I
Gregory McGranahan of the Heppner Ranger District of
the Umatilla National Forest stands beside some of nearly 25
cords of illegally cut firewood which are being given to area
senior citizens and others in need. The Heppner Ranger
District made an agreement with Morrow County Court to
dispose of the wood, which was confiscated from Individuals
who cut the wood outside areas allowed on their permits, cut
without permits, or who cut green trees.
Morrow County Judge Don McF.lligott said the Heppner
Neighborhood Center will receive applications for the wood
from needy parties. The center is also coordinating the
delivery of the wood.
According to a forest service spokesperson, about 9,500
cords of wood were cut on the Heppner Ranger District in
1981. This amount is equal to about 790 tog truck loads of
wood. The amount of wood cut to date on the district is almost
twice the amount cut last year, which has a major Impact on
the district.
"Without cooperation of wood cutters, considerable
damage could be done to the timber and wildlife resources,"
said the spokesperson. Designated wood cutting areas are
selected to enhance the timber productivity in these areas, he
explained. Other trees in the areas are marked with wildlife
tags to maintain habitat of cavity nesting birds and mamals,
he said.
Bookworms hear review
of history-based novel
By Jt'STlNE
WEATIIKKFOKD
The first bookreview of the
fall was given by Florence
Green before members of the
Bookworms who met at Helen
Currin's home on Tuesday
afternoon. Sept. 28. The excel
lent review covered the h.gh
points of James Thorn's 1981
history-based novel "Follow
the River." publinhed by Bal
lentine Books.
This story is based on the
historic facU of the kidnap
ping of the 23-year-old Mrs.
William Ingles (Mary Draper
Ingles) by Shawnee Indians in
Virginia in 1735. It tells of her
captivity and remarkable es
cape when she walked 1,000
miles through an untamed
wilderness no white woman
had ever before seen.
Mary Ingles, along with her
two young sons and a daugh
ter born on the trail west just a
few days after the massacre of
family members and friends
and the kidnapping, were ta
ken by the Shawnees to a large
settlement far to the west of
Birginia where they were kept
many weeks.

ren or single parents.
Prepared under the leader

OSU Extension family eco
nomics specialist, each lesson
includes basic financial plan
ning and money management
fnformation as well as exer
cises which can help the
family determine how its

The captives were sold as
slaves and the two little boys
were bought by a rhief Mary
and her daughter were bought
by French Indian traders who
lived in the Indian settlement.
Mary planned her escape
carefully, kiruggled over
leaving her daughter, and
then with an indomitable
spirit and remarkable
strength finally made it back
up the Ohm and Kanawha
rivers to the settlement in
Virginia from which she had
been captured. She and her
husband, William, had four
more children and were, in
time, able to buy back their
older son from the Shawnee
chief.
Novelist Thorn wove many
subplots and many interesting
characters Into his great
chronicle. The book should
appeal to anyone interested in
American History, in Indian
ways or in an almost unbe
lievable but true adventure of
a young, pioneer mother.
