The Congress was attended by 4-H members from throughout Illinois. The 4-H members from across the nation were polled on in­ ternational, domestic and personal affairs in a survey conducted by the Institute for Communications Research, Rockville, MD. The survey was sponsored by National 4-H Council which arranged the National 4-H Congress in ^ port of the 4-H program of tli Cooperative Extension Service. Results of the survey, based on random sample of 500, shows the economy and quality of education as top domestic issues for 82 percent of the respon­ dents. While 56 percent said they feel their education to date is only a fair preparation for the future, some 30 percent rank it as excellent and 10 percent as inadequate. Forty percent believe the quality of education has been stable over the past five years and 38 percent rank it better than ever before. Nearly one-fourth said they think it is worse than five years ago. Nearly all of the respondents plan to get an education beyond VL.U 1 A high school, most with the aid of scholarships and their parents and by working while in school. The top career area - 20 percent - is the medical and health field. Some 15.8 percent chose business, while agriculture production was chosen by 10.7 percent and high technology by 10.5 percent. Sixty-seven per­ cent aspire to be business owners or executives. On personal affairs, delegates were asked if they had been offered the opportunity to obtain alcohol and drugs. Forty per­ cent said they had been offered alcohol only; 20 percent said they had been offered both alcohol and marijuana; and 19 rcent said they had been of- 'ed alcohol, hard drugs and marijuana. Drinking was cited as a problem among their peers by 70 percent in contrast to drug abuse listed as a problem by 48 percent. Only 14 percent said they feel pressured to have pre­ marital sex, and most (45 percent) feel sex education is best handled at home, while 44.4 percent think it more ap­ propriate at school than at church or through groups such as 4-H. Although these teenagers said they listen to radio more than they watch TV or read newspapers and magazines, more than half considered TV their most reliable source of news. Newspapers were cited by 23 percent and radio by 20 percent. TV viewing occupies less than lfe hours of weekday time for 61 percent, while 85 percent report spending less than one hour per day reading daily newspapers or magazines. Nearly half listen to radio from two to more than tjbree hours per day. The work ethic appears to be strong among both delegates and their parents. Seventy percent report they work for extra spending money and 60 percent said their mothers contribute to the family in­ comes. Some 33 percent said 4-H projects contribute to family incomes. More than half of the teenagers reported their work for pay was in farming or babysitting. Other work areas included lawn-garden care, retail sales, restaurants and sewing-crafts. Most delegates are optimistic about the future. Some 60 per­ cent look forward to a lifestyle better than their parents, and 28 percent think it will be the same. Only 10 percent anticipate it will be worse. When asked where they want to live in the future, 63.6 percent preferred a farm or ranch, and only 7 percent indicated a preference for city life. Demographically, 46.6 percent of the respondents come from farms or ranches and 28.5 from rural areas. Most live with both parents and consider their family close-knit. Nationwide, 4-H is the largest out-of-school youth education program and involves nearly 5 million boys and girls from ages 9 to 19. Of these, 17 percent live on farms; 36.3 percent in towns with less than 10,000 population and open country; 17.8 percent in towns and cities of 10,000 to 50,000; and 28.9 percent in suburbs and cities with more than 50,000. In Illinois, 20 per­ cent of 4-H members live on farms; 30 percent in towns with fewer than 10,000 residents or in the open country, 15 percent live in towns and cities of 10,000 to 50,000 residents, and 25 percent live in cities with more than 50,000 residents. / 4-H is the youth education [program of the Cooperative Extension Service of the state land-grant universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The national 4-H Council is a not- f o r - p r o f i t e d u c a t i o n a l organization that uses private resources to help expand and strengthen the 4-H program. m Mttm&l n* *+vT*\f. * Woodstock recalls 20-year Ail-American city honor TURF FOR BEAUTIFUL WEED FREE LAWNS TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR LAWN...

This, however, was a purely local -- and happy -- event. "Woodstock Named All- America City" the paper read, blaring that Woodstock was one of only 11 cities in the country singled <nit for the honor. The results were announced in New York on March 26,1964, by William Boyd, senior associate of the National Municipal League. Several local persons i were privy to the news so local celebrations could be organized. The announcement capped a massive effort by literally thousands of local folks and a committee of 22 people who went to Detroit, Mich., the previous December to state Woodstock's case to the National Municipal •League, including Dr. George Gallup, chairman of the council for the NML. Then-city Councilwoman Frances Kuhn was a member of the city's delegation to Detroit, an experience she described as * "very excittog," "It meant a lot of recognition in a great many ways," the mayor recalled recently. "It was just great recognition for a little community."
