The logging camps which flounshed in northwest Oregon in the 1920s and 30s are the subject of a slide/tape program and discussion to be held at the Morrow County Museum in Heppner at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 10. The public is invited to attend and admission is free. The program is sponsored by the museum and is made possible by the Oregon Council for the Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. "Steam Whistle Logging," an award-winning program produced by the Clatsop County Historical Society, tells the story of loggers and their families in the days when Oregon's timber resources still seemed unlimited. Although the makeshift communities which sprang up within Oregon's primeval forests were quite isolated, these camps managed to fulfill their inhabitants' needs for shelter, schools and strong social bonds. "Steam Whistle Logging" features interviews with author Sam Churchill and over a dozen men and women who lived and adults, work fbree preparation, science and technology, and environmental stewardship. Morrow County will focus on plans in the following areas: leadership development for youth and adults, work force preparation, science and technology, and environmental stewardship. Leadership development for youth and adults encompasses programs that will help strengthen the leadership skills of those who lead local 4-H clubs and groups as well as helping youth develop the leadership skills to assume more leadership for their own programs. Work force preparation focuses on the need for all youth to develop certain essential life skills that will make them successful as they become adults and enter the world of work. The science and technology plan focuses on helping youth learn to use scientific competencies to r 4 •* Æ • •••<*. •• * ’ • , r • * * • . * I ■ '• r;* V - Vi-V*. ■ # * • * m! • t * • worked in the woods.

Plans m ade for d evelop m en t program Oregon's 4-H Youth Development Program is making plans for the future. During the past four months, county agents and specialists with the Extension Service at Oregon State University have been developing plans that will stretch to the year 2000. According to Jim Rutledge, state 4-H program leader, the focus of this four-year plan is helping young people and their families prepare for successful futures as leaders in their communities.

C h a m b e r M a n ag er There are a couple of ways to lose one's life: one is to die and move on to whatever our greater being has in store for us and the other is to lose your daily planner. The f irst day it's missing, you're sure you know where you left it; the second day as you check everywhere you can think of, stress starts to build; the third day, it's nothing less than panic; the fourth day, you call all the businesses in town. Ask yourself, what is the worst thing that can happen if you don't find this? Well, for one thing, you may have program speakers scheduled at the same time, you miss all your meetings, forget your appointments, fall behind in your bills, skip deadlines, and just generally lose it. So, what are your options? You can take out a full page ad in the Gazette requesting 'your life back' with an offer of a large reward, or you can beg anyone 'finding your life' to just take over. You might also decide that you will only do those things you can remember without writing them down. (That would free up a lot of my time.) Then, there is the option my daughter suggested: "Just start a new life, mom." Well, 'my life' was found. It's for sure no one would be crazy enough to want it for themselves. But, then, I probably wouldn't want theirs either. My daughter's suggestion lingers in the back of my mind, but in the meantime, gotta meet those deadlines'. Sony, I can't tell where I found it!
