Spring fashion
trends told
By BIRDINE Tl'LLIS
Morrow Extension Service
Many spring fashion colors
have taken their cue from
early blooming crocus and
hyacinths, with fabrics in new
clear, pastel colors. However,
white and black are clearly
leading the color field indivi
dually, or in combination.
Red. too. stands alone or
works as an accent color.
Other general color trends
from the season are gray,
often shown with pink, intense
brights. and blues ranging
from medium shades through
deeper royal and navy. Clean
er, slimmer and more refined
design lines present a pol
ished, all together image,
while others with a country
feeling provide wearability.
Ready to wear garments
and "sew your own fashions"
can be coordinated in color,
design and texture.
Wide bright belts, cummer
bunds, and cinches of leather,
satin or prints bring the focus
to the waistline. Shoes, an
important accessory, are
available in bright red. yellow
and turquoise as a colorful
fashion accent, as well as in
black patent.
Spring skirt lengths are
optional. Choices range from
tailored minis to flowing
longer skirts. Jackets are very
long, or short, requiring a
practiced eye to choose the M
correct skirt and proportion to
achieve a particular fashion
look. The wise shopper will
spend some time looking be
fore putting separates toge
ther this year.

OSU Mini-CoUege
to celebrate
10 years
By BIRDINE Tl'LLIS
Morrow Co. Extension Service
When a program such as
OSU Mini-College lasts 10
years, something good is
happening. Celebrating its
10th year this June "The First
Decade" has been chosen as
the theme of the learning
vacation for homemakers
which is held annually on the
campus of Oregon State Uni
versity. For those who haven't
attended before, 1983 is the
year they should find out why
hundreds of Oregon home
makers have attended, volun
teered to help in many ways
and are so intent on recruiting
new participants each year.
Why is Mini-College Buch a
popular event? People make
new friends from across the
state and find many of their
concerns and interests are
shared by others. Like stu
dents, they learn and grow as
individulas. away from the
pressures of home. Of course,
the class offerings are excit
ing, as are the special events
and programs for free time
and evening hours. Just being
on campus and living in a
dorm is fun for most partici
pants, too.
Many new classes have been
added for the celebration of
the 10th anniversary year,
while many others are much
enjoyed and requested re
peats. A special new class has
been added this year, thanks
to the Oregon Wheat Commis
sion, where each participant
will have the opportunity to
make a loaf of bread. Visual
ize about 600 loaves of bread
and imagine the tantalizing
fragrance!
If this sounds like your kind
of learning, fun and experi
ence, call the extension office,
676-6642. and ask for a regis
tration form. Classes fill up
fast, and some are limited, so
it is wise to register early.
Talk to a friend and get a car
full. Husbands are welcome to
attend, too.

The Garden Patch
By BOB COSTA
OSU Extension Agent
Morrow County
(Editor's note: Bob Costa's
"The Garden Patch," a
column for local gar driers,
will be appearing periodically
in the Gazette-Times through
out the gardening season.)
Plant peas, onions, spinach
and radishes now. Onions are
easy to grow from seed but
they take a long time to
mature and early planting is
important. Peas grow best
during cool weather so plant
early for a good quality crop.
A new variety of peas is called
"Sugar Snap." This tender,
productive and delicious pea
is eaten pod and all when the
peas are good and plump.
The planting dates for other
garden vegetables depend on
the date of the last expected
frost. I use May 20 for Hep
pner. Weather records show
that after May 20 a low of 32
degrees F or less will occur in
only one out of every five
years. If you want even better
odds of escaping a frost than
80 percent, move your plant
ing dates a week or so later.
However, many vegetables

"New federal regulations
which substitute competition
for regulation in the telephone
industry continue to affect our
revenues,"
One result of changing na
tional policy is the loss of
substdantial long distance in
come for PNB. Traditionally
long distance revenue has
been used to offset the cost of
local service, including PNB's
directory assistance opera
tion. Wolfard stated. "We
can't do that anymore. Each
service needs to begin to pay
its own way.
"But that doesn't mean
rates for all services will go
up, In fact, customers will be
provided increased options
and ways In which they can
hold down their costs for
telephone service." he said.
One rate plan PNB is cur
rently developing is for mea

plan will include a variety of

ture, so don't wait too long.
The following planting dates
are based on the May 20 date
for last frost. After April 20,
plant beets, carrots, cauli
flower, broccoli, potatoes and
lettuce. After May 1, plant
corn and beans. After May 20.
plant the warm season crops

If you've had problems get

Oregon. Start the melon seeds
indoors about April 20 and
transplant them to a very
sunny area of the garden soon
after May 20.
Many vegetables can be

The company is also pre

more than 50 percent of PNB
customers don't use directory
