Theme of this year's observ­ ance is "4-H--Freedom to Be." President Jimmy Carter said in a message to 4-H members and volunteer lead­ ers: "*4-H--Freedom to Be* is a most appropriate theme for an effort that reaches out to all young Americans-rural and urban-from all racial, cultural, economic and social backgrounds. For many, 4-H is the door to a lifetime of personal growth and self- fulfillment." National 4-H Week is set annually by the Cooperative Extension Service, which con­ ducts the 4-H program in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. The observance gives 4-H mem­ bers, their leaders and parents an opportunity to review the past year's work and plan for the coming year. It also fo­ cuses public attention on the values of 4-H as an informal educational program that en­ ables young people to learn real-life skills, develop leader­ ship abilities and become pro­ ductive citizens. Boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 19 participate in 4-H through organized Thirty-six members attended the meeting with refreshments served by the immediate past officers with Margaret Datz as chairman. Frances Matchen will be refreshment chairman for the Oct. 17 meeting. edeeiiam • ImE E V^rlVI clubs, special interest groups, nutrition education programs, television series, short-term activities and camping. At the core of 4-H work is the learn-by-doing project. Some of the most popular projects are food-nutrition, clothing, home improvement, gardening, health, safety and leadership. Newer projects range from aerospace to dra­ matics and karate. Giving public demonstra­ tions and speeches, planning and carrying out community service projects, and serving as officers or junior/teen lead­ ers in their clubs are some of the ways 4-H members ac­ quire leadership skills and practice good citizenship. 4-H projects and activities are supervised by nearly 10,000 county agricultural, home economics and 4-H agents. These extension pro­ fessionals arc assisted by more than 570,000 volun­ teers adults, teens and jun­ iors-who give leadership to local clubs, special interest groups and other activities. The private sector, repre­ sented by thousands of bus­ inesses, foundations and indi­ viduals, contributes financial and technical assistance at lo­ cal, county, state and national levels to help! strengthen and expand the 4-H program. 22.4 percent of 4-H mem­ bers now live on farms, and an approximately equal per­ centage (22.7%) live in sub­ urbs and cities of more than 50,000 population. 38.4 per­ cent live in towns of less than 10,000 population, and 16.5 percent in towns and cities of 10,000 to 50,000. 1977 marks the 75th anni­ versary of the youth educa­ tion movement that was to become 4-H. Around the turn of the century, school super­ intendents and teachers in many different places saw the need for supplementing the traditional "Three R's" of the one-room rural school with practical, real-life training for farm youth. In 1902, young people began to meet in in­ formal groups, or clubs, to experiment with corn and hog raising, soil testing, veg­ etable and flower gardening, and home canning. Formal provision for boys' and girls' club work, later to be called "4-H," was made in the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, which established the Exten­ sion Service.
