Sealy High School grad-
uates have done is typical
of young America. Truly
their visit was an inspira-
tion to their congressman
who had the privilege of
welcoming them to the na-
tion’s capital.
More inspiration comes to
u.s this week through the
23rd National 4-H Club
camp, which meets in Wash-
ington each year. I have
said so much of the mag-
nificent job being done by
the 4-H clubs, their mem-
bers, and their sponsor*,
that I hesitate to add to it
now,
These boys and girls
come to Washington to get
a deeper appreciation of
the ideals that have shaped
this city as the nation’s cap-
ital. They leave with a
better understanding of how
the three branches of gov-
ernment function, and they
take home with them a
fuller realization of the re-
sponsibilities of citizens in a
democratic government.
