Earwigs can also become a nuisance in houses where they occasionally damage clothing. They are also disliked in houses because of their repulsive appearance, bad odor, and habits of feeding in garbage or hiding in such places as wet mops. E arw ig s are su b so cial insects.

If you could look inside a 4- H leader, you’d find a person who loves to work with young people, has a sense of humor, enjoys new experiences and likes to continue learning. These are' some of the key characteristics of more than ,000 adult volunteers working with about 50,000 boys and girls in the 4-H program of the Oregon S tate U niversity Extension Service. Without the help of the volunteer 4-H leader, it wouldn’t be possible to offer the wide variety of experiences now available through 4-H. Not only do voluriteers serve as 4-H club leaders, meeting regularly with a small group of 4-H’ers in grades four through 12, they also serve as camp directors, resource people to other leaders, directors of field days and other special events, and as community coordina tors, people who recruit leaders and help organize clubs in a local area. It’s the 4-H leader who actually teaches 4-H members. The Extension Service staff works with the leaders, offering special training sessions and supporting their teaching e f f o rts w ith u p - to - d a te literature.
