There will be 4-H window dis plays, prepared by local clubs, in most store windows through out the county, and 4-H tags will be worn to school by all 4-H club members to let other boys and girls know about 4-H club work. This year's 4-H Week obser vance has a number of local and National aims.

Four-H serves our community by providing boys and girls with opportunities for Job exploration, citizenship training and princi ples of home economics and agri culture. Specifically, 4-H stress es the mental, physical, social and spiritual growth of young people by helping them to: 1. Gain knowledge, skills and qualities for a happy home life. and abilities to become better 2. Enjoy useful work, respon sibility and satisfaction in ac complishment. 3. Value, research and learn scientific methods of decision making and problem solving. 4. Know how scientific agricul ture and home economics relate to our economy. 5.
