EXTRA CHARGES ELIMINATED ON PHONE SERVICE Whether leaders are born or made, two outstanding young 1111 nois 4-H'ers agree that continued leadership demands perseverance and hard work. Frances Davis, 20, of Jersey county, and Ronald Bernau, 20, of McLean county, are state winners in the 4-H Leadership program.

Bernau was twice McLlean County Federation president He has served as master of ceremonies at county, district and state "Share the Fan" 4-H programs. Assistant leader four years, last year, Bernau bad complete charge of the 10 to 14 year group of 4-H member*. He has won numerous county an<) state awards during 10 years In 4-H work, mostly In dairy animals and Judging. A friendly smile and a silver tongue paid off in ton state 4-H honors for Joan Trea'dway, 16, of Bond county, and Neal Anderson, 16, of Warren coqnty. They were named 1957 winners In the 4-H Public Speaking program, and their persuasive oratory was re- Joan Traadway . Naal Andarson warded by The Pure Oil Co. * Miss Treadway, a seven-year 4-H'er, was presented with a certificate of honor, and a beautiful set of silverware. She has given her winning speech, "4-H's Place in Democracy," over the Litchfield radio station and to the Kiwanis Club. It also was published in her local newspaper. Miss Treadway has many invitations to speak before civic, church, and business groups. In addition to public speaking, this talented young beauty also received state honors in clothing, flower arrangement, and foods projects. She is vice president and leader of her local 4-H Club. Young Anderson also received a certificate plus a handsome 19- jewel wrist watch. His winning speech was "Wanted -- Agriculture Engineers." He believes in practicing what he preaches, so he plans to major in agricultural engineering in college. Anderson's oratory has been enjoyed by . the lopal Kiwanis Club, PTA, and other civic groups. An eight-year 4-H'er, he is county president, junior leader, and camp counselor. A green thumb and willing hand proved a winning combination for Karen Schmelzer, 19, of McHenry county, who won the state 4-H Beautificatlon of Home Grounds award. For her outstanding work with lawn, flowers and plants, she received a 19-Jewel wrist watch, given by Mrs. Charles R. Walgreen, Chicago.

Then the Schmelzers bought the home in which they were living, and plans were made to landscape the grounds. Karen helped plant 100 evergreens as windbreaks, cut back the bridal-wreath bushes, painted the foundation blocks of the. house and porch, and planted many flowers around the house and garage. President of her home economics club in 1951, Karen also served on many county committees. She was elected County 4-H Queen. Learning to make the most of leisure left very little of that luxury for Mary' Lou Meinders, 19, of Massac county, winner of the state 4-H Recreation award. But she feels it was jnore than worth it, partly because she received an attractive pen and pencil set from the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work. Miss Meinders, a nine-year 4-H'er and a sophomore at Carthage College, began her recreational leadership in 1949. She led group singing, conducted choral groups, wrote and directed nov-. elty skits, directed games and "Share-the-Fun" participation. She also directs recreation for church and community groups.
