Program ideas were shared in seminars and informally as they related to their work in the 4-H Youth Development program. Keynote speaker for the four- day conference was Dr. Urie Bronfenbrenner, professor of human development and family studies and professor of psychology at Cornell university in Ithaca, N.Y. His address centered on support systems for families. Dr. Bronfenbrenner emphasized that pressures on modern families have increased the need for support from outside, particularly from business and industry (for example, more flexible work schedules) and strengthening of neigh­ borhoods. Seminar topics ranged from 4-H in the 80's to male model roles and from teen leadership to professionalism. The membership of the National Association of Extension 4-H agents conducted its annual meeting during the conference. Members were actively in­ volved in conducting the work of the iftrofessional im­ provement, programs, policy and resolutions and public relation^ committees. DAR Sponsors American History Essay Contest SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, l«9t Kishwaukee Trail chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is again sponsoring an American History essay contest for students in grades 5 through 8. This year's subject is "Battles of the Revolution", and the student may choose either a land or sea battle as the topic of his essay. Letters were sent out earlier to administrators of all public and parochial schools notifying them of the contest and enlisting their cooperation in urging their pupils to par­ ticipate,'Teachers are expected to find the essay contest a worthy project as it correlates well with both English and history. At the same time, the DAR hopes that each student will develop a greater ap­ preciation and interest in American history. Complete rules for the contest were sent to each school. It is most important that they be followed carefully. Essays will be judged on historical accuracy, adherence to subject, originality, interest, neatness, spelling and punc­ tuation. Students should now be completing their research and writing their papers as the deadline of Dec. 15 is ap­ proaching. All essays should be mailed to the Kishwaukee Trail chanter by that date. Miss Alice , M. Clark, chairman of the American History essay contest, will select a panel of three to judge the entries, with the best papers from each grade level being sent on to compete on the state level. Winners there will enter competition in a divisional contest with finally a national award winner. Every participating student will receive a certificate of appreciation and an invitation to a tea in February at which time essay winners will receive their awards and the "good citizens" chosen from each high school's senior class will be honored. FOREST FIRE WARNINGS Illinois Agriculture Director Bud Williams last week warned farmers not to burn brush or crop residue this year because of forest fire danger due to extremely dry weather con­ ditions. "The last time the state was this dry more than 250,000 acres of forests were burned," Williams said, "We just can't afford to get careless." CROSSWORD PUZZLE 9 CONSUMER GUIDELINES Conserve Energy Conserve energy by using your laundry care appli­ ances wisely. Separate lightweight and heavy­ weight items for faster and more uniform drying. Don't overdry. That wastes energy and can leave some garments with a harsh feel. To eliminate wrinkling, re­ move garments from the jdryer as soon as it shuts off. Also, clean the lint filter of the dryer as often as pos­ sible.
