LOCAL GIRL TEL1S MANY HIGHLIGHTS OF 4-H ACTIVITY ; by Karen Schi^elzer The 4rH clubs are groups, of young people, chiefly in rural and suburban areas, (although 4-H clubs have now been organized in Chicago,) who carry on a wide variety of farming, homemaking, community service and other projects. They raise livestock and poultry, grow gardens and field crops, conserve the soil, sew, cook, preserve foodi make things for their homies, and work for community betterment. Any boy or girl between the ages of 10-21 may join by agreeing to follow 4-H ideals and standards. The main-re-, quirement is a Willingness to "learn by doing," which is the club slogan, and "to make the best better," which is the club motto. Other requirements are: Carry at least one project, keep dn accbrate' record of your, project, attend at least two-thirds of' the local" club's meetings, and .when possible attend , county, district and state meetings, appear on the lo<:al 4-H club program (either give a talk pr demonstration), exhibit project at the county fair or local achievement, and turn your record book into your local leader at the end of the 4-H year. Character development and good citizenship are longrange goals. The 4-H program is part of the cooperative extension service in which the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, the state Land- Grant colleges, and the counties share. In McHenry county, the county farm and home advisers and their assistants are the representatives from the University of Illinois who conduct the 4-H program for us.
