I-H Speakers
Are Increasing
Participation in the 4-H Public
Speaking program has jumped to
more than 50 thousand.The Na-
tional 4-H Service Committee re-
ported the increase and announce-
ed that the Pure Oil Company
sponsors the program In this co-
unty, members participate by en-
tering the 4-H speech contest. They
also give talks to clubs and civic
organizations and serve on panel
discussions throughout the year.
Top-ranking boy and girl speak-
ers in the county advance the state
competition. Scholarships are a-
warded to the best boy and girl
speakers in the nation.
4-H boys and girls who care for a brood of chicks or watch
a tiny seed sprout and grow are learning the ways of nature
while building a store of knowledge that will last a lifetime.
One of the axioms of 4-H work is that the boy or girl is far
more important than the project—a tribute to the wisdom of
those who direct the program. For as A H members help
their projects grow, they grow with them and become active,
responsible citizens at an early age.
}
We're proud to hare these fine young people as friends and
follow citizens and to tell them during their special obsor-
rance. National 4-H Club Week, Sept. 26th to Oct. 3, how
much we admire their many accomplishments.
How future generations will be
fed in the United States and prob-
ably the world is the concern rigtit
now of 4-H Club members enga-
ged in a field crops project. In
the year 2 thousand-only a gen-
eration away—population is expec-
ted to double. The 4-H‘ers are
experimenting with yield, seed.
Manheim Senior
4-H Club News
The Manheim Senior 4-H Club
held its monthly meeting on Sep-
tember 9. The meeting was call-
ed to order by the president. Car-
olyn Biebas. The reporter led the
club in the 4-H Club pledge and
the vice-president led the pray-
er. We decided to print programs
of our monthly meetings to be
handed out to Junior and Senior
club members. Mr. Spivey then
told us of the nation-wide mem-
bership drive and what we can
do to help it. ' Mr. Spivey then
showed us a film on "Fitting the
Beef Calf for Show." We had a
little recreation and were served
some refreshments by Mrs. Mil-
ton Woelfel.
The meeting was then adjourn-
ed.
