NEWSPAPtR k PUBLISHERS -'ASSOCIATION NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCVATfOM 7 4-II Club Interest Pays Off This is National 4 H Club week, a period set apart to review the activities and progress of this youth movement that is national in its Bcope so far as America is concerned, and a movement that without doubt is setting the pattern for better understanding among the youth of the world, for there are in at least forty-three other countries similar organizations wherein the youngsters are "learning to do by doing." There is today probably no other youth organi zation that is paying off in good citizenship more than the 4-H Club. And the basic principle, we think, is that the fundamentals of business, the matter of conducting their own affairs, is instilled at a period when the young people are beginning to consider their lifelong careers. That does not mean that all farm boys and girls will choose farm careers although where could they do bet ter by themselves when, after learning the routine of feeding and developing beef animals, hogs, sheep, and dairy stock, and the proper selection and tilling of grains, grasses, and garden pro ducts, they could easily go ahead in the more scientific branches of agriculture and become not only successful in the production of their chosen projects but likewise acknowledged authorities. The remuneration, financially speaking, has been worth the efforts expended by the 4-H Club members, yet that is but part of the program. The main purpose, one is prompted to think, is to learn to do things by doing to earn merit and credit primarily while enjoying the financial re turn which naturally follows. The competitive nature of the projects puts the youngsters on their toes and creates a spirit of sportsmanship that many of them might not otherwise experience. It is well to pause and give some thought to the value of this great youth organization., not alone in what it has done to create an outlet for youthful energy and enthusiasm but in the foun dation it has laid for developing leaders In both civic and pblltical circles, and in the example set for the youth of other lands who may gather in spiration from this democratic organization and strive to lay the foundation for freedom of action in their respective countries. The editorial tile is doffed this week to Ronald Baker of lone, who is one of four Oregon 4-H Club members chosen to attend the National 4-H Camp in Washington, D. C. Looked at from a' purely was a matter of statewide choice by unbiased judges. That makes the choice far more signifi cant, far more important. Ronald has been a busy boy ever since he took on his first project. And it can be said without reservation that he has been one of the most successful in his en deavors. He has developed leadership anp poise beyond one of his years and will add the weight of his experience in practical affairs and a good education to make a leading citizen of the future. Morrow county is proud of her 4-H Club boys and girls and happy to have an outstanding youth chosen for this signal honor. Good Sportsmanship Pays In athletic competition, about the only glory recognized as such is to win physical laurels. No matter how hard a team may have trained, if it did not win at least a majority of its schedule it suffers loss of face and the coach usually begins casting about for a new job. So fickle is the public that it looks only at the figures on the scoreboard and pays no attention, or at least too little attention, to the type of players making up the teams. Heppner High school's athletic teams have not come through the past season as champions that is, cup winners through physical prowess but the basketball team won an honor at the Dis trict 6 basketball tournament last week which should be coveted by all tournament participants. The Mustang squad failed to place in the district percentage column but gained a distinction in some respects more valuable and something that should be sought by all teams the good conduct award. Men officiating at the games in which Hepp ner is playing have on numerous occasions com mented on the good behavior of our athletes, de claring it is always a pleasure to work with the boys. That speaks volumes for the boys and their coaches and the atmosphere of good sportsman ship that pervades the school. The President in his official flying ship took off for Florida for a three weeks vacation from the immediate trialts and vicissitudes of life on the Potomac. That seems to be the usual proced ure for the chief executive,, but we wonder if the investigation of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration could have had anything to do with his local angle there would have been no doubt in the decision to bask in the Florida sunshine just at minas ot tne people about who to chose, but this this time. Thank You! We like your cor dial welcome and will strive to merit your continued patronage.
