SHERMAN Associate Publisher NATION At tOlTOtUt -7. V !a Class Matter. 4-H-Top Trainer of Good Citizens If any Morrow county resident does not realize that this Is natiunat 4 II club week, he certainly must be asleep, for the livcwirc organization has gone all out to tell the world about it unci hus clone a good Job of it. .Store windows are tilled with attractive and Interesting dis plays, and a special section of this paper covers a great many phases ot 4 11 work. there are all kinds of natlonul "weeks" In the United States as every conceivable type ot organization seeks to get publicity tor its cause. Many ot them we view with disdain, but not so with National 411 week. This Is one really worth shouting about. rour-11 is truly an outstanding youth organization. Those who are active have a sincerity ot purpose that la noticeable. They work with zeul on their projects, and they seem to be nnuued with the -Head, Heart, Hands, Health" symbolism of their name. it muy be stereotyped to see that one seldom sees a 4-H er in trouble, but it Is true. They have too many worthwhile things to do. They are constantly working at some constructive project, and the organization has such a lull schedule of beneficial and enjoyable activities that a truly active member has little time to wniie away on trivial matters. This is Hie type oi organization that is developing fine citizens lor America. Although started primarily for rural youth, it lias been broadened so that there is now a place in many (Jillerent kinds of clubs for the town youngster, too. Alorrow county has nearly 400 in 411. School census, which includes all children from 4 to 1SJ, totals 1600. Some ot the latter, ot course, are tar too young for 411, but it Is apparent that at least one ot every lour in tnat bracket in the county is in 411. One advantage that 4-H has over some other youth groups is Hint it has paid leadership, although ot course tne local club leaders get no pay. But primary leadership is vested in the county agents. It is our opinion that we have three of the very nest here in Esther Kirmis, Joe Hay and N. C. Anderson, and they have a big share In the success of 4-11 in Morrow county. JJeuicuted local leaders contribute a great deal, too. From the response given on the special section in this paper, it is apparent that business people and other organizations are sold ' on 4 11, too. They gave hearty support in presenting the section. What was first planned as a lour-page review, soon turned into a six-page (and plus) county wide edition. Miss Kirmis and the 4-H council worked hard in getting the material together for the paper, and we think they did a fine job by all standards. A 4-11 er can wear his emblem with piide at any time, but especially during this national week can he hold his Head high while his Heart beats a little faster. We hold our Hands up in salute to him and wish the best for his continued good Health! Ann Jones Brings More Good News There ure those who contend that newspapers delight In printing the sensational and sordid, that the front pages are lilled with crime and the frailties ol mankind. The statement is subject to challenge on the grounds that the public makes the news not the newspapers. However, it is a distinct pleasure to an editor when the com munity he serves provides him with "good" news. He enjoys tilling his paper with items that build and bless. In the nine months we have been in Morrow county we have found that "good" news here far outweighs the "bad." During that time we have not reported a single serious crime, and at worst, only one or two petty robberies. This Is true, too, without any attempt to suppress or play down the "bad." (We even print parking violations!) However, scarcely has an Issue gone by that we weren't able to tell of some fine achievement or top recognition given to one of Morrow county's own. This week we exult once more in the selection of Ann Jones as state Future Homemakers of America president, who comes out of the ranks in an organization of 4000 girls in the state. This is a fine honor for her and her parents and brings more recognition to our county. We offer our hearty congratulations and at the same time thank the new FHA president for helping us to keep good news on the front page!

When printer Ray Smith took off In the big 53 for the Condon uiooe-iimes a week ago on an emergency mission to get a loan of news urint for us, the tumbleweed was still there. When he arrived back, it remained securely In place. The thought comes that we all ought to decorate our cars with tumbleweed. That would be what we could call a real East ern Oregon "Car-sage." www IF 4-H clubs ever saw fit to hire a public relations man, they miiiht well cast an eye on youn Johnny Rawlins of the Rhea Creek Livestock club. Johnny was among a group of 15 who staged a program at the Cham ber of Commerce Monday, and he was introduced by Leader Wilbur Van Blokland, who said, "Johnny will tell us a little about the history of the club." The young man promptly got up and immediately corrected his leader. "I'm coinc to tell you ALL about the history of the club," he declared. With the poise of a politician and the enthusiasm of a publicity agent, he did Just that At one point, his voice dropped to an almost reverent low earn estness as he said, "Four-H is too ereat a program to have been started by Just one man." No doubt about what kind of a club member John Rawlins is, no sir! THE THING that perplexes us is this: Cant.

A NEWS release from the Ore con Ass. wiiirlnti of Public Ac countants starts olf thusly: "If all the forms with which tax payers must contend during (and before and afterj the 'income tax season' were utilized to paper a wall, many square feet would be covered by using oniy one copy of each federal and state form." But many a disgruntled tax payer who may read this state ment would declare that paper Inn a wall with the forms might well be the best use to which they could be put. IN THE February issue of North west Ruralite, is a dandy story about bewhiskered Jeff Walker of Heppner. The article, which takes the whole front page of the publication, is complete with pictures and tells about Walker's hunting exploits and his hounds.

We joined the Gontys for a trip over Sunday afternoon, after most of the burning was done, but Immediately bumped into some old fire buddies from Dallas, a good 250 miles from Arlington. They said that they learned a great deal from the fire school conducted by the state in the burning of the some eight buildings that were razed.. That was a wise way to get some benefit from the inevitable; destruction, although it must: have aroused some keen emot-1 ions to see some of the old build ings go up in smoke.
