The Bean Supper was a suc-
cess and we want to thank all
of the 4-H members and
leaders for their help. The
Canton Sodbusters will
receive the gavel for the club
selling the most tickets in the
county. The Van Riding Club
came in second. David Ben-
nett of the Sodbusters
received the $10.00 award for
the individual selling the most
tickets in the county. Martha
Gross of Van came in close
behind for second place. We
want to congratulate them for
their big effort. The event
proved that 4-H can do things
in a big way and we look for
even bigger things in the
future.
Springtime makes us think
about district eliminations.
This year contests will be held
April 27 at East Texas State
University in Commerce. 4-H
members will be eligible to
compete on judging teams, in
prepared talks by teams and
individuals, and i group skits

terest. The contests are
divided into junior and senior
divisions. Any 4-H’er in-
terested in competing should
contact their adult leader or
the county extension office for
more information. We need to
get started now to be ready!
Don’t forget the first horse

can be utilized as a means of
gratifying, for the moment at
least, many of the desires that
would otherwise have to go
unfulfilled. To the child it
seems a short cut to
prosperity, and it is perfectly
natural that he should use this
method and continue it until
he learns that it works out to
his disadvantage.
When one considers that all
children are born into the
world uncivilized, normal
individuals, dominated
entirely by selfish motives
and with the sum total of their
physical and mental activities
directed toward seeking
pleasure and avoiding pain,
and that certain natural
tendencies are constantly
operating in early life,
unchallenged by training,
experience, and education, it
is not surprising that pilfering
among children is very
common. Stealing is but a
deviation from the tendency
to acquisition that is normal
and instinctive. It is one of the
instinctive tendencies that
need to be inhibited and
accidents.
In comparison to the first
two months of 1973, the total
amount of accidents is up 42%
in 1974.
The 1973 statistics for the
same period show no fatal
accidents; 13 injury
accidents, injuring 23; 20
property damage accidents;
making a total of 33 accidents.
In 1974, for the month of
February only, there were 19
total accidents. There were no
fatal accidents; six injury
accidents, injuring 10; 13
property damage accidents.
There was a 73% increase in
total accidents for February
1974 over February 1973,
when there were no fatal
accidents; three injury
accidents, injuring six; eight
property damage accidents;
making a total of 11 accidents.

The Van Zandt County 4-H
Riding Club Board of
Directors met Monday,
February 25, to discuss future
plans for the club. The group
tentatively set dates for four
county horse shows. The first
show, which is a non-point
show, will be March 23
starting at 1:00 p.m. in the
Fruitvale Arena. This show
will primarily be for.practice
and allow the club members
to get back into the swing of
things. A first place trophy
will be presented in each of
the county horse show classes
with second through sixth
place receiving ribbons. The
second show will be April 13.
starting at 2:00 in the Grand
Saline Arena. This will begin
the official county point
shows.
The District 4-H Horse
Show’ has been scheduled for
July 11 at the Holly Top
Stables in Hawkins.
The nominating committee
for the county riding club met
recently to select a proposed
slate of officers for the club to
approve. The committee
decided to select two proposed
candidates for each office and
let the entire club
membership decide between
the two. Those nominated are
as follows: president, Johnny
Brickey and Cindy Fowler;
vice president, Mike Jones
and Judy Mewbourn;
secretary, Ilene Goldberg and
Debbie Jones; treasurer,
Robyn Mewbourn and Patti
Sutton; and reporter, Norma
Snow and Lisa Collins.
The Board-Elwood 4-H
woodworking project came to
an exciting end February 18
when the club gathered to
watch the boys race their
wooden mini-cars they made
during the past month. Over
60 4-H’ers and their parents
enjoyed the competition after
a family-style dinner was
served. Trophies were
presented to Daly Royal and
Kris Scott, winners of the
mini-car contests. The
Board-Elwood girls have
recently completed some
craft articles which were put
on display at the February
meeting.

existence is not solving the
problem.
As with any other aspect of
human conduct, it is the

itself. Only by studying the
motives for the conduct and
the purpose that it serves can
we intelligently understand
and treat the individual.

will be discussed next week.

stealing is a harsh word to
apply to the acts of children.
It is associated so closely with
a criminal career, and one so
naturally thinks of jails and
prisons, highwaymen and
robbers, that childhood and
this type of delinquency seem
almost incompatible.
On the other hand,
problems are never solved by
dodging the issue. “Of course,
we don’t consider it stealing
when Johnny takes things
belonging to me or to other
members of the family,” said
one mother in defense of her
eight-year-old boy, and
another mother argued that
“taking food or pennies is not
considered pilfering.”
Sometimes the juvenile
offender is acquitted by the
parent on the ground that “he
does it in such a cute way” oi
that “he is so unselfish—-he
never uses for himself the
things he takes but always
gives them away” or “you
can’t expect a child so young
to understand what he is
doing.”
These are only a few of the
numerous excuses by which
parents permit themselves to
be deceived. Stealing must be
considered stealing as soon as
the child has developed
mentally and socially to the
point where he is capable of
differentiating his property
rights from those of the
people with whom he comes in
contact. It must not be
forgotten that most children
are warned at an early age
that such acts are against the
wishes of their parents
without 'being given any
appreciation of the social code
called honesty. In such cases
the act of stealing is nothing
more than disobedience and
must be treated as such.
Children naturally absorb
from the environment in
which they are living a
tendency to conform to the
social customs of that
environment, and they can
also give an intelligent reason
why such social customs are
enforced. When a child
reached this stage in his
development he must be held
responsible for his conduct,
and it is grossly unfair for
parents to minimize its
significance by refusing to
fact the issue.
Stealing is a dangerous
habit because it is very apt to
work out temporarily to the
advantage of the child, and it
