PAGE 3 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY. AUGUST ». 1977 Teens Make Headlines In 4-H Achievement: CHICAGO-Not < all the news about today's teenagers is bad! Two young people who recently made headlines for good reasons were a North Carolina coed who designed s p e c i a l c l o t h i n g f o r handicapped children, and a Colorado youth who manages a herd of registered Herefords to finance his college education. Shirley Goodnight and Tom Field, both 19, were among nine 1976 national scholarship winners in the 4-H achievement program sponsored by Ford Motor Company Fund. And both went on to win Presidential Awards, the highest honor in 4-H. M i s s G o o d n i g h t , a University of North Carolina sophomore from China Grove, designed garments with quick-opening front zippers and detachable bibs t o h e l p p h y s i c a l l y handicapped youngsters dress themselves more easily. Field, a rancher's son from Gunnison, Colo., saw his 4-H beef project grow in nine years from one registered Hereford heifer into a highly profitable herd that is paying his way through Colorado State University.

Shirley Goodnight, China Grove, N.C., and Tom Field, Gunnison, Colo., receive silver trays from E. Dean Vaughan (left), assistant administrator, 4-H-youth. Extension Service, USDA. The two were among six outstanding teens selected for 4-H's highest honor. 4-H members 9-19 can achieve in a broad range of learn-by-doing projects and activities supervised by the C o o p e r a t i v e E x t e n s i o n Service. Achievement in 4-H means acquiring skills and sharing thenf with othfers. It means striving to fulfill the 4-H motto, "To Make the Best Better." 4-H achievers can earn county, state and Rational awards donated by Ford Motor Company Fund through the National 4-H Council. Awards include up to four medals of honor at the county level, an expense-paid trip to National 4-H Congress to one 4-H'er per state, and $1,000 educational scholarships for nine national winners. This year's achievement scholarship winners will be announced at the • 56th National 4-H Congress, Nov. 27-Dec. 1 in Chicago. The high-ranking girl and boy, along with their counterparts in the 4-H citizenship and leadership programs, will receive silver trays presented on behalf of the President of the United States. Young people can learn more about the national 4-H achievement program from their county extension agents. , . . What the averag£ worker needs is more and kmger vacations-wit^ pay, of course. much. Is it because you feel insecure, or because you are trying to be the center of at­ tention? Or is there some other motive?

Anyone with questions should call 438-7373. by Mary Richards According to public health swimming pool inspectors, a simple test for water Clartty...called the "dime test"...is one way simmers can determine whether pool waters meets state standards for clarity. You should be able to observe whether a dime is heads or tails when it's lying on the bottom in the deepest part of the pool. Crystal cjear water, however, is not the wily thing you should look for when planning to swim in a public pool. > One of the most important things to look for is a lifeguard, especially if you have children with you. If there is no lifeguard on duty, do not let children swim unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult who knows life-saving techniques and first aid. It's a good idea to check the pool area to be certain that life-saving devices...such as a floating ring buoy or shepherd's crook...are readily • available - for emergency use. Eye, ear, nose and throat infections are common hazards, associated with swimming in contaminated pool water. You can greatly reduce the risk of infection, however, if you swim only in pods where the water quality is properly maintained. Chances are the water quality is properly maintained if: the water appears crystal clear; the water is continuously circulated and the water level is kept up to the overflow level; there is no odor of ammonia or chlorine (a strong chlorine odor indicates a chemical reaction caused by an insufficient amount of chlorine in the water). The Illinois Department of Public Health, through its swimming pool regulations and inspections of the state's 3,000 public siwmming pools, makes every effort to assure that Illinois pools are operated and maintained in a sanitary manner. In fact, the state health department is involved in nearly every phase of operating a public swimpiing pool, from approving architectural plans for new pods, to periodic testing of the water in every • *** There are some things more important than get­ ting rich-a fact that many learn too late in life.
