incentives, valued at $400,000 an-
nually. This amount is distrib-
uted fin awards and leader fram-
ing funds in 4-H programs which
range from canning to tractor
maintenance.
"The money is cotisiUered a
sound investment in the nation’s
future by encouraging those rur-
al buys and girls who have
pledged their head, heart, hands
anil health to make the best, bet-
ter," declared Guy L. Noble, di-
rector of the National 4-H Com-
mittee, a non-profit, citizen’s
group.
