“Bigger and Better Than Ever,”
Sums up 4-H Club work
The 4-H club work continues “Bigger and
better” than ever.
All of the clubs that were organized last fall
are now well along with their programs. The
club members now realize what club work does
for them. Every club member has already put
away some cash profits in his government savings
account and the accounts are steadily growing
each month.
New clubs are now being organized to func
tion during the vacation months. They will
consist of onion, beet, carrot, bean, and potatoe
clubs. The land is now being prepared and
planting will begin at once.
Plans are being completed for a club fair to
be held during the last week of school. At this
fair, club members will exhibit their work; have
experience in judging and have their work
judged. From amongthe winners, delegateswill
be selected to attend the two weeks’ summer en
campment at the Oregon State College during
June. The delegates selected will have all their
expenses paid. The Daughters of the American
Revolution is kindly assisting financially in this
important occasion.
We are greatly indebted to the D.A.R., who
take so much interest in helping and encouraging
Indian youth who are interested in the better
ways of life. They are always on the look-out for
worthwhile boys and girls, and c e r t a i n ly find
them in 4-H club workers.
Get your exhibits in shape for the fair during
the last week of school, clubbers: Let us “Make
the Best Better on that day.”
