Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 14, 1995 - HVE
Exhibit on display at museum Scout» help with Flag ceremonies
"F ig h te rs on the Farm
Front," an exhibit of historical
photos, posters and other
materials celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the Emergency
Farm Labor Service opened on
May 20 at the Morrow County
Museum and will be on display
until July 12.
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. The
Emergency Farm Labor Ser
vice, administered in Oregon
by the OSU Extension Service,
continued until 1947.
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.
