These arti cles were received last Christmas by the Davis school near lone, Miss Audrey Beymer, teacner, tnrougn their participation in Junior Red Cross work. The school has made an enviable reputation in this work, having received a citation for the Quality of a kit of their work. Through the Junior Red Cross de partment exchange or articles be tween children of different sections of the world Is made, creating a vmnathetkc Interest among them in each others' problems and modes What A 4-H By CALEB I think the most Interesting ex ample I have heard of the value of 4-H Club work to girls is in the history of Ruthe Nance of Ham mond, Georgia, who was one of the winners of a $500 Agriculturla Col lege scholarship at the 4-H Con gress last December. What this girl has got out oi her club work, it seems to me, is what she has put into it That is an that anybody gets out of any phase of life. And what Ruth Nance put in to her club work is told in the scrap-book which she submitted and which told the story that won her the prize. This scrap book of hers would be as interesting to most farm people as any story they could read. The book is about two inches thick and the pages are the size of a large magazine. The covers are heavy peach-colored paste board and bound in green cloth. There is a futuristic design on the cover with the symbols, 4-H. Green tape ties are set in the three open sides of the book to keep the contents intact when not in use. Then we open it First comes the form blank which Ruthe was re quired to fill out and which gives in outline the most important facts in her club career. It shows she began her club work when 11 years old with an unusually large pro gram gardening, food preserva tion, cooking and nutrition, and clothing. The next year she re peated, while the third year she added home improvement She con tinued this the next year and add ed one more health making six projects. She was putting a lot into her club work, but she got out a lot her record shows. Not satisfied with this program, she added orcharding and recrea tion in 1929. And in 1330 she took on leadership, continuing all the projects of the year before. Listen to this for 1931. All of the projects of the previous year were continued and these were the re sults: One-half acre garden pro duced 2979 pounds of vegetables; one-half acre orchard produced 4765 pounds of fruit; in food pres ervation she put up 150 jars of veg etables and 188 of fruit; in clothing made 92 articles; carried out sched ule in home improvement by man aging her parents' household for three weeks, improving the kitchen, living room, porch and lawn; cook ed 632 dishes; kept health chart for six months; was captain of the country girls at the state camp as one feature of her leadership pro ject. And only one year's projects, remember. All of these projects Ruthe car ried on with high intelligence and energy, and as would be expected many responsibilities were placed on her shoulders and many honors came her way. She filled every of fice of the Hammond Girls 4-H club s A F E T Y & A RECEIPT , AND A RECORD FOR YOUR MONEY. Pay Your Bills by CHECK! Your creditor's signature on the back of your Check is undeniable, legal proof that you have paid his bill. Besides, it gives you a record of the transaction . . cancelled Checks accounting for every dollar you spend. Yes, a Checking Ac count even cultivates Thrift in that you think twice before you make out a Check. Not so with cash. ENLIST IN THE WAR AGAINST DEPRESSION OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THE Fir National Bank HEPPNER, OREGON Club Girl Did JOHNSON of 22 members, to which she be longed. It would be a long story to tell all of the rewards earned by this young lady, which included six trips to the county and state camps and one trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. One of her greatest winnings was first prize in the contest at that expo sition for a complete girls' outfit With all of her club projects she still found time to take an active part in school, church and com munity affairs. The report on her record is signed by Miss Lucy Wood, county extension agent, and Miss Lurline Collier, state leader of girls. In neat large lettering Miss Nance sets down the 14 titles of her club experience on an opening page of her scrap book headed "Contents." Then comes a page labelled, "In appreciation'" in a hand decorated border with a picture of Miss Col lier and appropriate sentiments in Ruthe's handwriting. On the next page are pictures of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the State college, James P. Campbell, direct or of extension, and Miss Mary E. Creswell, assistant director. Then comes a chapter on "His tory and Achievements of My Club" in hand lettering and an ink sketch of a girl at work. One of the two kodak pictures on the page is of Ruthe's club- in 1929 with the ban ner it won. It was hard to get much done the first year or two af ter the club was organized, but the leadership of Miss Wood and a well organized program of work and play gradually brought the club up to a standard. This page shows kodak pictures of the money raising stunts of the club at the county fair which included pony rides and a country store. There Is a clear pic ture of the home demonstration club of women started through the work of the 4-H club, and one of a baby show. Another page shows the banner won by the club at the county camp in 1931, the neat brick club house and a prize flower ex hibit Running around the pic tures is the story of the club's growth in Ruthe's handwriting. Then comes a chapter on Leader ship, done in the same way as the one before. In this the author club girl lists a page of activities, among them cashier in a cafeteria in the high school, and program chair man of the home economics club. A page of clippings and three news paper illustrations of leadership stunts follow. Then a page photo of the pageant, "Ten Virgins," giv en by Ruthe's county club group at the state camp in 1930, and a page photo of the characters in the play put on by her county group the same year. This play was entitled "The Arrival of Club Work" "Gardening" titles the next chap ter with a hand sketch of garden products In the six pages devoted S E R V I C E to this are 17 kodak pictures of the club girl's garden showing her at work preparing and seeding it and gathering and preparing vegetables for canning. One picture shows a group of girls studying plant dis eases Ruthe employed modern gar den tools and a hot bed A table shows the lineal feet given over to the 19 different vegetables raised. Two pages are given over to "Or charding" and treated in the same way as the garden chapter. The club girl's planting included 2000 strawberry plants. One picture shows her inspecting her orchard for blight and another waist deep in a luxuriant cover crop of win ter peas. In several blossom pic tures she appears, but her own at tractiveness overshadows even the lovely blossom. Canning and food preservation occupy two pages; also interesting ly illustrated and written up. Cook ery takes a page with a picture of a steam pressure demonstration. Clothing is a big chapter with three full page photos of Ruthe showing demonstration, recreation, and a her first prize winning outfit A newspaper illustration shows her demonstrating the utility of cotton. There is a page on health with a swimming suit pictured among oth ers. Home improvement occupies three illustrated pages, one picture showing how the girls learned to become "charming" hostesses. Fi nally come chapters on livestock, financial and prize record A 3-col-umn newspaper picture shows the five Georgia 4-H girls who won trips to Chicago in 1930 waving goodbye from the observation platform of the Dixie Flyer. Concluding the scrapbook are the original records kept by Miss Nance on her projects. Miss Nance is one of three sis ters each of whom has made a fine record in club work. One of them won a scholarship in a contest at the Southeastern fair. That's the story and that's the MWh answer as to what a girl may get out of club worn. IRRIGON MRS. W. C. ISOM.
