'Blue Ribbon Family Henderson Foursome Thrives on 4H Projects IAN COUNTY'S HOME NEWSPAPFH SECTION EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1962 'Boss-Lady Earns Staff Vote the avocado is usually available in the grocery store. Bob here shares the recipe with Register-Guard readers. It's one men like," he notes with the air of one who knows. Arizona Inn Gaucomole Vi-cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped Juice pressed from H-cup minced onion H-cup sour cream Salt, pepper to taste 2 medium avocados, chopped Combine and chill Yield: About 3 cups ter pipes, and built electric fences. During the past winter he was busy in the house putting to work all the practical skills learned as a 4-H'er.

The middle-of-ceiling lights with pull chairs have been dismantled; the rooms completely rewired with at least three wall outlets. The ceiling in dining room lowered, the walls finished with textured paint, new floors laid in the bedrooms and den, carpeting laid in the dining room and on the stairs, a new bathroom, built, plumbed, and wired. With spring and summer, the paper plans for flower and vegetable gardens, shrubs and trees have come to life. "We feel it's home," Bob said proudly. If there's anything missing it's of no more consequence than the avocado when the Hendersons would indulge their craving for Arizona Inn Guacomole; and Janace's 4-H Club record on file in the Los Angeles County 4-H Club office is equally impressive: Champion in dairy foods, in demonstrations; blue ribbons by the dozen for her foods, clothing home improvement and livestock projects.

The inventory of her accomplishments during six years of 4-H work runs to wholesale figures: 212 meals, 983 foods, 24 garments, 5 dairy animals, 6 beef calves, 468 rabbit fryers; 25 poultry fryers; 21 hens, 2 hogs, 2 rooms redecorated, and hundreds of plants. Involved in the full schedule of her senior year in Thurston High School, Janace didn't enroll in 4-H Club work. Bob's "all-go" signal in 4-H club work was precluded by a visit to the Lane 4-H Club office last summer. the first thing we did when we moved here," he said.) His 4-H club project in grounds and home improvement has proven a "natural" with the FFA project in beef." Goal for the two projects are as neatly cubbyholed as his plan of work. "I'll build up my beef herd to 25 animals," he said.

"The beef is my college fund. Then I'll raise veal calves two at a time to cover my current car expense and spending money." With a businessman's acumen, Bob turned his efforts first to capital improvements. He planted eight acres to improved permanent pasture, adding fertilizer on a prescribed basis predetermined by soil tests. He wired the barn for electricity, extended the wire underground from utility pole to barn. "Once the barn was electrified we could work nights," he explained.

And the lights burned late as Bob constructed calf pens, hay and grain feeders, installed a water hydrant and wa miBiimii mmiwpwmiiijji ypm uiiMavifm ip Ym'm Mil XMjtf i i iuti liiiini i i I iMjmmsiri By JOY MILLER of the Associated Press NEW YORK One of the several things that makes a male executive smug is the well-founded suspicion that no matter how impossible he gets, his secretary would still probably rather work for him than for a woman. But if there were a few more Margery Hursts in the world he might feel less sure. Margery Hurst is a blonde British beauty who has more than 7,000 women in her organization, the world's largest sec-rctarial agency. Her success with keeping her own sex working happily for her is based on several well established principles: She likes and respects women, she doesn't ask anything of an employe she can't do herself (she can still type 80 words a minute, take 120 words shorthand), she believes in paying well, she takes an interest in the girls' personal lives. Good Advice "You must remember," she says, "that women are just coming out of the kitchen into the wide, wide world.

They'll learn fast, but right now they mostly have a narrower view than men. They're emotional very highly emotional but so sharp and loyal. They want you to take a personal interest in them: if their child has measles, you should ask every day how he is. If they've had a fight with a boy friend, inquire daily if they've made up." Mrs. Hurst found her knack for handling women as a commissioned welfare officer in Britain's women's army corps in World War II.

Before then she had had a brief fling at a stage By VAL THOEMG 01 Lane Extension Serric California's loss was Oregon's gain when the Roy Henderson family moved to Lane County a year ago settling in a big two-story farm home in the rolling hill country east of Springfield on Thurston Road. The zest for work that earned 4-H glories for Bob, 16, and his sister, Janace, 17, during six years of project work in populous Los Angeles County has already won for them the frank admiration of neighbors in their new community. As a part of his seventh year In 4-H Club work his first in Lane County, Bob, who will be a junior at Thurston High School, is transforming his new home "according to plan" in the 4-H Grounds and Home Improvement project. Bob will display "plan specifications" and pictures of the finished results in an exhibit of the project at the Lane 4-H Fair, county fairgrounds in Eugene, July 23-27. "Either they're the most organized people who ever lived or they never rest," marveled one neighbor after a visit to the Henderson's home.

A close look at the projects shaping up in-and-around the farm home supports the observation "that things are getting done." But not at the expense of ALL work and no play. The nack for turning out work, Bob modestly surmizes, goes back to one of the first lessons he learned in 4-H Club work: Put the job down on paper, break it up in workable parts, and check off each part as it's done. "This way there's no time wasted because of indecision or the weather," he said. "When it rains we work inside on the house or barn. When the weather's good, we're outside." Work organization is nothing new to Bob who holds some 58 ribbons (mostly blue) from California county and 4-H fairs.

He's a former Los Angeles County winner in the 4-H home grouds and beautification projects and in demonstrations. His cuisine so astounded the judges who sampled his sour cream avocado dip that they named him the grand champion cook in the Great Western Dairy Show, and Los Angeles food editors had a field day interviewing him and copying his recipe. With gourmet insight. Bob has named his creation "Arizona Inn Guacomole." New Book Tells Story OfAFS'ers The story of the American Field Service student exchange program is told in a new book by Katherine T. Kinkcad, young AFS'er, who is an American.

Entitled "Walk Together, Talk Together," the book, published by W. W. Norton and is released this month. During the last 10 years the program has brought 11,000 teenage boys and girls from 60 foreign countries to the United States and sent nearly 8,000 young Americans abroad for school or summer visits. In the past year, Oregon has had an opportunity to know 74 of these high school students from other lands and sent at least half that many abroad.

This summer Eugene has its sixth AFS representative to the North and South Eugene High Schools. Mrs. Kinkead's book describes the adjustment problems which occur because of differing national customs and the determination of AFS'ers to meet the challenge. She tells about the careful process of matching MARGERY HURST Self-Made Lady Millionaire Oregon Dairy Princess Told PORTLAND W) Adrlenne Ellison, 17, Mt.

"We are equally rich, and we only live together because we love each other." No Tight Skirts Mrs. Hurst advocates bright, modern decor for offices and loathes seeing secretaries wear "stodgy, dingy black dresses. Just please, no tight skirts." And she thinks it's torribly important girls find romance in their work.

"It's wonderful for them career in this country, and "what happened would bring tears to your eyes," she says with mock dramatics. Lady Millionaire and selection of prospective candidates and their adopted to be friendly with the people they're working with." But when that romance is with the boss Mrs. Hurst takes a dimmer view.
