Local hunter ed instructors awarded Two local hunter education instructors have been presen ted awards by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wild life for their service to the Oregon's Hunter Education Program. Dan McBride and Bob Montgomery, both of Heppner, received bronze awards, reports Bill Hastie, hunter education coordinator for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Instructors receive award points for the classes and students they teach, and can earn bronze, silver and the highest award, the gold for their service, Hastie explains. The instructors are part of a group of 1.500 volunteers throughout Oregon who con duct hunter education classes for young hunters. The classes are required of all hunters under age 18 before they can hunt wildlife in Oregon, and are designed to teach young hunters to be ethical, respon sible and safe in the field. "Without our volunteer in structors, there would be no hunter education program in Oregon," Hastie says. "They dedicate an immense amount of time and effort to the program, but it all pays off in reduced hunting accidents and better attitudes about hun ting; that's where the real rewards come to our instruc tors in the program." When using dried herbs, make sure to crumble them to release the flavor. Garden Club learns about plant care "How to Have Happy House Plants" was a subject presen ted by Elsie Huston at the March 14 lone Garden Club meeting held at her home, reportes a club spokesperson. Lorraine Ladd assisted her as co-hostess. Huston stated that the main thing is to understand a plant's needs. Actually, there is no such thing as a "House Plant," she explained, be cause all plants have been grown outdoors, although some probably in a much wanner climate. To have a health and happy house plant, one must control the tempera ture, humidity, light, soil moisture, drainage and ferti lizer, she told the group. Tem perature should not drop too much at night. Plants should be chosen according to house temperature. Humidity may be affected by tiie house tem perature and may be con trolled by grouping plants to gether and misting them with spray. Plants prefer filtered light and most should be turned regularly. Plants should be watered regularly (usually early in the day) according to the directions for each particular plant. Fertili zing should be done during the active growth period (not in the winter or dormant period ) . Plant foliage should be kept clean on both sides of the leaf. Leaves may be washed down with a soapy solution or sprayed to clean. Repotting is needed when the roots heap up or come through the bottom of the pot. It is permissable to trim roots when repotting most plants, she said. Pat Pettyjohn reported that she had received 49 posters from lone children in the fifth through the eighth grades for a conservation contest using the theme "How to Protect Oregon Birds." The posters will be judged and the winners sent on to the district, and state level contest. Plans were discussed for a field trip to Portland which may include visiting Leach Botanical Gardens, the Gar den of Enchantment for the Blind, the Japanese Gardens, the Washington Park Rose Test Garden, the Rhododen dron Garden, the Willamette Cemetery and the Grotto. This trip is to be taken the second week in May. In other business, the Fair Schedule Committee was ap pointed and includes Helen Martin, Delta Huber, Jean Nelson and Pat Pettyjohn.
