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!

COMING BACK from Portland
recently the old Packard hit a
big tumbleweed and a i hui,..
stuck in the grille. 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

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!

is this: Cant. John Glenn circ
