SUNDAY MORNING I lost my
good friend and co-worker, when he
suffered an untimely death. When he
could, he went everywhere I did and
worked right beside me withoutcom-
plaint of discomforts like heat, rain,
cold or wind. At the end of the hard
days' work, all my co-worker asked
for was a cool bath and a bite to eat.
I watched my friend grow from a
youngster into maturity. When he
was little, we would walk the sheep
down the lane to the pasture every
morning. I watched carefully, seeing
to it nothing hurt him or frightened
him. As time went by, I offered him
new responsibility, which he accepted
cheerfully. As I limited his territory
and then loosened up on those re-
strictions, my friend and worker ad-
justed willingly and with devotion to
his mentor.
I delighted in watching my co-
worker become strong and muscled
and also confident in his abilities. If
you are around livestock, the first
thing you learn is how to out-think
them so that they will go where you
want them to and do what you want
them to do. My good friend became
so adept at this art, that he seemed
almost to second-guess the animals’
intentions. As be matured, he came
to understand when cattle were be-

ing ornery and just ignore them. By
the same token he could anticipate
when they were fixin' to break loose
and would already have started them
in another direction before much
disaster occurred. If we were just
bringing home the sheep, he could
slip in between them and the cattle
and ease those sheep out without
even disturbing the cattle.
He had the same dependable atti-
tude about working cattle and in fact
was often at the lots before I was,
anxiously ready for another chal-
lenging day of work. When we moved
cattle from field to field, by co-
worker single-handedly led them or
pushed them (whichever was the
need) to their destination. He was
calm and quiet as be went to his task,
never once getting angry or discour-
aged. It didn’t matter if we were
taking the animals miles or feet, his
determination was the same.
Every morning at daylight, I would
meet my friend at the garage before
he and I sent the sheep out to graze.
Many roomings he'd be waiting for
me when I got to the garage, impa-
tiently sitting on the back of my four-
wheeler. We would circle the pasture
with my red dog, Sniper, to run off
any varmit who might have lingered
overnight in pursuit of a nice lamb
chop breakfast. In the evening, to-
wards sundown, my friend would
come again to help me gather the
sheep and cattle in to the lots for
safekeeping. Again be and my red
dog would speed up and down the
alleys of hay grazer looking for way-
ward sheep or calves that needed to
be brought home. He never shirked
his duties for play or pleasure; when
we were working that is all he did.
Afterwards, he might go hunting or
for a swim, but never during work.
He was steadfast in his duties up to
the very last evening I saw him alive.
When chores were done though, he
played war games with my son,
Devree, in the fields, or water games
with the hose in the front yard.
Today lam withoutmy good friend
and co-worker, who could run faster
than any jackrabbit or catch a bird in
mid-flight; who never tired of duties,
and who loved me unconditionally.
In the night, someone ran over and
lolled my Kelpie dog, Lane Frost,
while be was pursuing the only bad
habbit he had* he loved to chase

tion location she encounters and be

more information contact Yvonne
Fifcr.
In Girl Scouting, programs are
based on girls interests and needs.
Girl Scout activities help girls de-
velop their fullest potential and be-
come competent, resourceful
women.
Parents are often curious about the
need for an all girl organization.
Many studies have shown that in
mixed groups girls have fewer op-
portunities to participate and receive
less adult attention than boys. Girl
Scout program, on the other hand is
designed specifically for girls. Girls
are encouraged to try new things, to
become decision -makers and de-
velop leadership skills. They can
take risks and learn from their mis-
takes in a supportive environment
without the social pressures to con-
form to stereotyped expectations.
There are four program emphasis
for all GS program:
♦Developing self-potential
♦Relating to others
♦Developing values
♦Contributing to society
Adult volunteers are also needed
as troop leaders, service unit mem-
bers, program consultants, troop com-
mittee members, sponsors, and or a
variety of short term projects. Even
if you have only a little time to give,
it will make all the difference in the
life of a girt. Girl Scouting is making
a difference in the future by making
a difference in the lives of today's
girls through the care and support of
adult volunteers.
