1 m tl i Around About By Justine Weatherfora Last week wai National 4-H Week, which always comes the first full week in October. The two professional leaders of this program In Morrow County, John Nordheim and Birdine Tullis, arranged for a fine group of 4-H members and junior leaders to make presentations at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last Tuesday. These girls and boys told about their projects about various 4-H experiences they have enjoyed and about the fine educational growth they are making. The 4-H program, open to any boy or girl between nine and 19 years of age, has really been achieving its purpose to help its members become creative, productive citizens. It was so sad to hear Birdine declare that the movement, especially in the Heppner area, is suffering some because of the need for more adult leadership. During the years my children were growing up I served as an assistant leader In several 4-H groups and worked with their displays at the Benton County Fair. Like many other parents I know that the year-round 4-H experiences gained by my children were equally as important as their nine-month school programs. Wisely 4-H doesn't enroll children until they have had several years of school work and are by then becoming well grounded In reading and writing. Before the 4-H presentations last Tuesday noon, the chamber's Vice-President Ron McDonald, who was presi ding during the hunting vacation of President Bob Harris, introduced the matter of planning being done by the Heppner Economic Development Committee which overlaps the chamber's merchants' committee and which will work closely with the chamber. The plans, as you read last week, will be to promote tourism, to bring new and different business enterprise and to sustain and stimulate local buying. Many other communi ties are working toward these same goals. One aspect tfist could receive more stress, maybe, Is that of making an J keeping Heppner clean and attractive. The awakening, or re-awakening, peoples' pride in the town and what it can offer new residents could be stressed, too. Some bragging should be done about our superior museum, about our historic courthouse and about our schools, churches and wonderful recreational opportunities. Attitudes often speak more loudly than words. Folks who dash out of town every weekend to make almost all of their purchases hurt the community a great deal. Most of us do enjoy visiting other towns occasionally shopping In the large, modern malls, but those of us who are rather permanent residents and who expect to have continuing city and county servicea should be demonstrating our loyalty to our local merchants. Last Wednesday I opted to attend the senior lunch instead of the CowBelles luncheon-meeting. However, it was very pleasing to have a prompt, first-hand report of the CowBelle affair from Helen and Marlene Currln who stopped to visit me before heading for Butter Creek. I was glad to learn that the ranch women are really going to work vigorously to promote beef sales, which are of such importance to this area's economy. It was good to tell them and to tell you now, about the interesting activities at the luncheon at the fairgrounds. Dot Halvorsen reported that she drove the senior citiien bus taking fifteen folks from lone and Lexington over Antelope way to visit the amazing development along with the Big Muddy. Everyone who made the trip was quite Impressed with what they saw with the various components of the huge agricultural commune. "They had lots of flowers even bright window boxes along the cow barn." The visitors were gratified by the warm, welcoming attitude of the red-clad young people who met them and showed them around. Heppner bus driver and senior leader BUI Cox said that if enough were interested in taking a tour from here that he would work out a bus trip to the commune In the near future. The HaJvorsen-chauffeured group arrived at the ranch about 11 a.m. and sUyed until about 2 p.m. Each passenger paid $2 for the cost of transportation. An attractive and knowledge able female guide explained over a loud -speaker all the various aspects of the big development and answered all questions Including the one about members being allowed to leave there. "They can go whenever they wish," she said. The workers have an hour and a half lunch rest and fstetime break. Some were riding horses and bicycles during this recess. The workers do not have private cars on the ranch. The horses, bicycles, work vehicles and most of the heavy equipment is communally-owned. The "world's largest greenhouse" and dam are being constructed now. Workers told the visitors that they anticipate several recreational uses of the lake behind their dam. Dot Halvorsen said they are really accomplishing lots, "'but we could do lots, too, if we had hundreds of unpaid workers." It seems the commune members are given food, lodging, bus transportation and some medical care in lieu of wages. Dot and the other tourists felt most sympathetic to the regular residents of the Antelope area, and aaid that this huge new development Is very disturbing to them, and that it is going to present unfair competition to family operated ranches. Two most welcome guests at the noon meal were Velva and Archie Bechdolt, former long-time Hardman folks. Velva said her husband, Adrian, Archie's brother, didn't come along "because he Isn't feeling too well." Everyone was delighted by the special after-dinner musical treat introdu ced by Anna Mae Steagall. She presented Roy Quackenbush with his banjo; Jim Hayes, Sr., with his fiddle; and Merle Boyce at the piano. Mrs. Boyce contributes piano numbers frequently before the meals, but the two gentlemen performers were a wonderful surprise. The Heppner Gazette-Times.
