<5 4 4-H Clubs Celebrate Nationwide Oct. 2-8 For many young people, 4-H means more than just being with friends and having fun. It also means discovering for themselves what they want to do the rest of their lives. In the process, they get involved in many activities that improve their home communities. "But they can't do it alone," says Dave Plocher, McHenry county extension adviser. "4- H'ers need and want the help and guidance of adults who volunteer to be 4-K leaders." "4-H leaders come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life," Plocher says. "They're homemakers, mechanics, electricians, photographers, teachers, farmers, older teenagers, young parents and retired people, and they come from both urban and rural areas. But they have one thing in common: they care about today's youth and are willing to volunteer time to help young people. Their reward is the satisfaction of watching youngsters grow and learn." Last year, over 17,000 Illinois residents volunteered to work with 4-H'ers. But that wasn't enough. Many more young people want to get involved in 4- H clubwork, but new clubs must be organized first and that requires more leaders. "In McHenry county, 230 adult leaders and 152 junior leaders are now working with over 1,200 4-H'ers," Plocher reports. "But we &till need more!" CLUB ORGANIZATION "If you want to be a 4-H member and there is no club in your neighborhood, start your own," continues Plocher. If anyone is between 8 and 19 years of age, they can join 4-H regardless of where they live. There are only two requirements to start a 4-H club: first, five or more boys and girls who want to join, and second, an adult leader. Many 4-H leaders are parents of dub members. Ask parents or friends' parents to help lead the new club. When a new club is started choose a club name, elect officers, and select the projects and activities. Dave Plocher says members can have parties and tours, attend the 4-H show, and learn more Price, Ringwood; and Paul Withington, Woodstock. , Clovers & Gophers Doris Redmann, Richmond; Mrs. Edward Winn, Richmond; Mrs. Robert Mathison, Hebron; Mrs. Carol Stowl, McHenry; Dave Popenhagen, Richmond; LillNor, Richmond; Mrs. Ellen Holian, Richmond. 4-Aces Erna Novak, McHenry; Mr. and Mrs. John Olson, McHenry. 4-Clovers Mr. and Mrs. Jim DesBiens, McHenry; Tom Gruebnan, McHenry; Mr. Biggerstaff, McHenry. 4-Corners John and Mary Fitzgerald, Richmond; Sharon Raczon, Spring Grove; Jean Kagan, Spring Grove; Dorri Schaitz, Spring Grove; Carol Olenick, Spring Grove.

As a 4-H member, choices made from mere than 100 different projects. Popular projects are foods, clothing, electricity, photography, child- care, automotive, livestock, crops, dog care, bicycling, and bird study. Some others are gardening, entomology, handicraft, home grounds improvement, geology, small engines, tractor care, and woodworking. According to Kathi Heberer, camping, public speaking, recreation, and judging are some of the special activities the club can become involved in. Talk to friends, find an adult leader, and call the county Extension adviser at (815) 338- 3737 or 4747, or write McHenry county extension office, P.O. Box 431, Woodstock, 111, 60098. They will be glad to help start a new 4-H club. DEDICATED LEADERS Good Job. Must like children. Great responsibility. Must have unlimited patience. Also, much knowledge and understanding required. However, must work without pay. McHenry county has many such dedicated men and women. They have what may seem to be a thankless job at times. But, they are helping to make the youth of today much better future citizens. The leaders' reward is not monetary. It may be a smile on a proud youngster's face or a sense of pride as the 4-H'er accomplishes a goal. So, there are rewards. And to them, they are much better than money. Dedicated men and women of the McHenry area clubs include Busy 3 Bob Doessel, McHenry; Mr. and Mrs. George Madden, McHenry; and Russell Rudolph, Richmond.

A man in a yellow van was enticing the little children with candy and sweets. The older ones tried to keep the little ones away, but several did take some of the candy, but did not enter the van. . Parents, warn your children of the dangers of strangers. Cheryl Mumma made the suggestion that two parents should stay at each bus stop with the children, and many of the mothers are now doing this. All adults should take notice and question any strange people and cars around the school bus stops. OPEN HOUSE The firemen of the McHenry Township fire protection district, Company 3, are holding their annual open house Oct. 9, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Company 3 station on Route 120 and Lily Lake road. There will be literature telling of the work of the volunteers, and fire hats for children accompanied by an adult. Come and meet your firemen and find out about their equipment and how it is operated. FIRE Hie firemen of Company 3 were called upon last Monday when a Volkswagon bus caught fire. Seems Judy and Jerry Brizzi had just purchased the used bus in Richmond, and Jerry was driving it home followed by Judy in their car. Imagine Judy's feelings when she saw sparks shooting out of the bus! Jerry was unaware of the problem even though he heard the loud horn blowing. When the bus started smoking, -Judy finally pulled out next to it, and Jerry, realizing something was wrong, got off Rt. 120. Judy ran for help to Wally's where someone called the fire department and others tried to help with a small extinguisher. The fire was put out by our volunteers, but the bus was a total loss. Sorry, Judy and Jerry-there go those vacation plans. EMERGENCY TIME How about making the emergency room at the local hospital twice in 24 hours? Don Hipwell managed that: the first time for eye burns received in his role as a volunteer fireman, and the next morning for fifteen stitches in his left hand in his role as a husband and window washer. Please don't try for a third, Don. SYMPATHY Our condolences to the Herbert Fritzsche family on the death of his father, Charles. Mr. Fritzsche made an impact on our community, and brought in much needed industry. He also worked to spve Lily Lake many years ago, when he was responsible for the dredging of the south side of the lake. GETTING WELL The dear lady, Mrs. Florence Koch, Pat Morrison's godmother, is home recuperating from her stay in the hospital. She would enjoy having freinds drop in to see her, as she is not able to go out yet. Joe Yerkes is slowly mending from the serious auto accident that he and Toni were in. His birthday today, finds him able to get around a bit with crutches. ANNIVERSARIES Alma and Bud Hueckstaedt are celebrating their thirty- seventh year Oct. 6. Thirty- seven years-and with the same partners! Should we wish them happiness or sympathy? (JuSt kidding) Happiness is also wished to Dot tie and Jim Mentzer and Toni and Joe Yerkes on their special days. Birthday anniversaries are Billy Freeman and Terry Morrison. Terry and his sister Sundae celebrated Oct. 2 with a family celebration. BABY SHOWER Phyllis (P.J.) Odarczenko was the surprise guest at a shower given by her sisters, Pamela and Lynne Zabroski and sister-in-law Pat Greco Sept. 25, at the pink and blue decorated legion hall. The many guests enjoyed the beautiful cake made by Pat, and shared in P.J.'s happiness over the coming event P.J. received just about everything needed for a first baby, plus the love and good wishes of her PAGE 23 - PLAINDEALER family and neighbors who have "adopted" her. FOURTH GENERATION Baby Heather Ehredt is really someone special-the fourth generation living in our community, starting with great g r a n d m o t h e r s M r s . Kreutzberger and Mrs. Vola Johnson; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Foute; and of course the proud parents, Bob and Sheree Ehredt. In the mobile society We live in, it's heartwarming to know that some families do stay together. MOVING To the Henry Garn family who are moving to Wonder Lake, taking pheasants and quails with them, we say farewell but not goodbye. We will miss Claudia at the library, with her knack for ordering best sellers and her accounting ability on the library board of trustees. The Woodstock rural library will be the richer for our loss, I'm sure. Good luck to you in your pew home.
