The traveling exhibit was assembled by the Oregon State University Archives, which houses a collection of about 15,000 photographs of the women, school children and others who helped harvest the crops during World War II. The harvest effort was authorized by Congress in 1943, a time when most men were fighting overseas.

During that time, more than 900.000 placements were made in the Beaver State, including 134.000 placements of women and 271,000 placements of youth workers. "The Emergency Farm Labor Service was the agricultural equivalent of Rosie the Riveter, utilizing non-traditional workers," points out Larry Landis, OSU assistant univer sity archivist, who assembled the exhibit. The Morrow Coupty Museum is open 1-5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday, and by special appointment. There is no admission charge. The exhibit was made possi ble in part by a grant from the Oregon Council for the Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
