It seemed to be the feeling of most of the Forums that there has been a great deal of progress in 4H Clubs but Trent Valley felt that possibly there could be more services such as farm management, leadership work, public speaking. Plainville thought short courses could be held on Saturdays so young people attending High School would be able to take advantage of them. The second question how can volunteer 4H Club leaders be further developed and given more recognition brought an unanimous opinion that they were not given nearly enough re nition for the excellent work they are doing among rural young people. They should also receive a great deal more cooperation from the parents. Morganston thought that club leaders could be developed from older 4H Club members who have had the advantage of club work.
