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.
