A-H'ers Work to Conserve
America's Natural Resources
>r
SPECIAL — Young people
today are firmly committed
to their survival and that of
this planet. They are involved
with the problems and seek
N^lutions to air and water
pollution, garbage disposal,
survival of threatened animal
and bird life. In fact they
want to conserve all of
merica’s natural resources.
Among the active and con-
cerned young people are
more than 320,000 enrolled
in the 4-H conservation of
natural resources program.
The effectiveness of their
work is reflected in a case
*^iudy of one young man who
worked four years in 4-H
conservation, sponsored na-
tionally by John Deere and
, J supervised by the Cooperative
Extension Service.
John J. Silvia Jr., 18, of
Middletown, R.I., concen-
SHffijp trated his efforts on preserv-
ing and enhancing the life and
v^natural habitat of animals,
1 birds, insects and vegetation.
,C;' And he skillfully persuaded
others around him by word
and deed to become involved.
In order to carry his con-
servation message more force-
fully to other 4-H members
and to various civic groups,
the youth took up the 4-H
public speaking project. He
used his 4-H photography
project to tell the story of the
need for all people to be
I K',\

concerned and do something
about conservation.
As a result of his avid
interest and his effective
teaching of younger 4-H
members, his 4-H club earned
special recognition in 1970.
Now a University of Maine
freshman planning a career in
wildlife management and con-
servation, Silvia also earned
one of six educational schol-
arships of $700 each provided
by John Deere in 1071.
Again in 1972, John Deere
is making available to mem-
bers a maximum of four
medals of honor per county
and an all-expense-paid trip
to the 51st National 4-H Con-
gress in Chicago, Nov. 26-30,
for the state winner.
At the National 4-H Con-
gress, representatives of the
donor will present six educa-
tional scholarships of $700
each to national winners.
Clubs carrying on out-
standing conservation pro-
grams receive certificates of
merit. And a $50 cash award
is provided for one county in
each state reporting the most
outstanding 4-H conservation
program. This award is to be
used for further work in the
4-H conservation of natural
resources program.
For information about lo-
cal 4-H conservation activities
contact the county extension
agent or the state 4-H office.

THE
FAMILY-
LAWYER
Temptation for Tots
Planks and sandpiles. Mud and
sawdust. Nooks and crannies.
Such are the ingredients that
make a house under construction
so alluring to young children.
But if there is allure, there is
danger too. If a child is injured
while exploring an unfinished
house, is the builder legally
liable?
^^une 10-17, Texas Water Sa-
fari, San Marcos to Seadrift.
The world’s richest canoe race
($4,400 cash) and the world’s
toughest canoe race (413
miles of paddling with no help
enroute) will observe its 10th
anniversary. Last year 27
>. teams entered and five fin-
ished. Many more are expected
this year from all over the
United States and Canada,
both amateur and professional
canoe racers. Highlights in-
clude the start of the race in
San Marcos’ City Park, 9:30
a.m. June 10, and the end-of-
the-race festival in San Mar-
cos the following Saturday.
The builder will point out,
rightly, that the child is a tres-
passer. Nonetheless, most courts
will overlook this factor if the
builder should reasonably have
foreseen the child’s visit. At
least, they will examine the spe-
cific circumstances to see whether
the builder can fairly be blamed.
For example:
A 10-year-old boy climbed the
steps of an unfinished house,
•wandered around the second
floor, and tumbled through a
hole in the flooring. Suit was
brought on the boy’s behalf
against the builder, on the theory
that he should have erected a
barricade at the foot of the stair-
way.
But a court said that would
have interfered unduly with the
construction work. Denying the
boy’s claim, the court said:
“Any barricade of sufficient
size to keep children from going
up the stairs would destroy the
very purpose for which the stairs
were built.”
But in another case, involving
a similar accident, the house was
much nearer to completion.
There was already a door at the
foot of the steps that could easily
have been locked—but wasn’t.
When preventing accidents was
so simple, said the court, the
builder should indeed bear re-
sponsibility for what happened.
Another factor is the age of
the child. In most successful
claims, the victim has been un-
der 12, relatively inexperienced
in coping with danger. The older
the child, the lighter the burden
on the builder. Thus:
A 13-year-old boy fell from a
scaffolding left overnight by a
construction crew. Was the build-
er liable? A court said no, be-
cause this kind of accident was
too improbable to have been
foreseen. The judge said that as
a rule, a child old enough to
climb scaffolding is also old
enough to recognize the risk of
falling.
HARRY HEINTZENMAN
One boy from Big Lake has
been chosen by the Big Lake
Salvation Army Service Unit
Committee for a free one
week vacation beginning June
18, at the Salvation Army's
370-acre Camp Hoblitzelle
near Dallas.
"Our boys will be among
900 others sponsored by Salva-
tion Army Service Units all
over Texas who will attend the
camp over a four week period
this summer, " Jack Black the
committee's camp chairman
said. They will go to camp by
car with all expenses paid.
The boy attending from Big
Lake is Harry Heintzenman, a
nephew of Mrs. Nina Storey,
He'll ride with Ft. Stockton
boys who stop for him enroute.
At Camp Hoblitzelle the
boys will live in redwood and
brick cabins and will receive
well-balanced meals in the
camp's dining room. All or-
ganized activities are super-
vised by coaches and counsel-
ors and include boating, fishing,
archery, horseback riding.swim-
ming, crafts, movies, sports--
everything it takes to keep a
boy busy for a whole week.
The Salvation Army operates
the camp year round for people
who could not otherwise afford
to go to camp. During the sum-
mer months over 4, 000 will
vacation at Camp Hoblitzelle.
The building of Camp Hobli-
tzelle was financed by dona-
tions from more than 100 Tex-
ans. Included in the facilities
are a 30 acre lake for boating
and fishing, recreation hall,
large swimming pool, a western
fort, animals and playing fields
for a number of outdoor sports.

4-H'ers Multiply Safety Efforts
Through Uiub 8t Group Action

SPECIAL — Spring is here.
Millions of young people are
out riding bicycles, driving
tractors, mowing lawns and
being more active in countless
ways.
All that activity puts them
in the way of becoming an
accident statistic.
But there are nearly
400.000 boys and girls who
have a better chance than
most to avoid that fate. They
are the young people enrolled
in the 4-H safety program
supervised by the Cooperative
Extension Service.
Sponsored nationally by
General Motors, the program
encourages young people to
learn basic safety habits and
how to pass their knowledge
on to others — their friends,
family and community.
In many areas throughout
the country the 4-H’ers join
together in county activities
to give the safety message an
even greater impact.
In Weber County, Utah,
for instance, the local 4-H
clubs got together and pre-
sented three puppet shows on
pedestrian safety to over
18.000 people.
The 4-H’ers and their adult
and teen leaders contacted
police, city officials, schools
and parent-teacher organiza-
tions. They report their ef-
forts in the county reduced
pedestrian accidents 75%.
In Will County, Illinois,
4-H’ers came up with the idea
of testing non-municipal wa-
ter wells for contamination.
According to George J.
Young, county extension
agent, the county health de-
partment helped the Coopera-
tive Extension Service teach
the junior 4-H leaders to col-
lect water samples. The
young leaders then demon-
strated proper sampling tech-
niques to members in their
clubs. “This 4-H activity will
serve as a base study on well
water quality in Will
County,” Young explained.
4-H clubs in Caldwell
County, Kentucky, concen-
trated their efforts on fire-
arms safety.
Ken Carpenter, county ex-
tension agent, summarized
the results by saying: “As
with most safety programs,
the full results may never be
known. However, it is assur-
ing to know that these young
people can now more safely
handle fire-arms and multiply
their concern for safety by
instructing others.
“Those passing the course
are now eligible to move on
to study more advanced
courses in gun handling,
marksmanship and to qualify
as an instructor themselves,”
Carpenter noted.
Last year 4-H groups in 31
counties throughout the Unit-
ed States earned special $25
cash awards from General
Motors for having outstand-
ing 4-H safety programs. Cash
awards are limited to one
county per state and are to be
used in furthering safety ef-
forts. Hundreds of 4-H clubs
also received certificates
recognizing their safety pro-
gram efforts.
In addition to club and
group awards four members
per county are eligible for
gold-plated medals and the
top state winner receives a
trip to the 51st National 4-H
Congress in Chicago, Nov.
26-30. Eight $1,000 scholar-
ships also are offered by GM
to national winners.
The 4-H safety awards pro-
gram is arranged and an-
nounced by the National 4-H
Service Committee, Chicago.
For information on the
safety program or any of the
other local 4-H programs,
contact the county extension
office.
