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.
