This week (March 2-9) is Nat
ional 4-H Club Week. Morrow
County 4-H club members will
join 2,285,000 other 4-H members
in the United States in observing
4-H Week, according to Joe Hay
and Esther Kirmls, Morrow
county extension agents.
Highlights of 4-H activities for
the week include programs at
the Heppner-Morrow County
Chamber of Commerce, Ileppner
Soroptimist Club, Rhea Creek
Grange and Lexington Grange
and a visit to County Court.
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. Some of these are
to influence more boys and girls,
9 years of age and older, to join
or form 4-H clubs, acquaint more
parents with 4-11 and seek their
cooperation, encourage capable
and youth minded men and wo
men to volunteer as 4-H leaders,
honor 4-H friends, and express
appreciation for the important
part they play.
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. Explore career opportunities
and continue needed education.
6. Appreciate nature, under
stand conservation, and use re
sources wisely.
7. Foster helpful living, pur
poseful recreation, and construc
tive use of liesure time.
8. Strengthen personal stan
dards and philosophies.
9. Acquire traits, attitudes and
understanding to work well with
others.
10. Develop leadership talents
citizens.
The 4-H program is sponsorde
by the OSU Extension Service
in cooperation with the USDA
and the local county govern
ment. County extension agents,
as part of the OSU staff, pro
vide the leadership for the 4-H
program on a county-wide basis
with unpaid volunteer local
leaders working directly with the
4-H boys and girls at the club
level. Currently in Morrow coun
ty, 56 volunteer leaders are work
ing with 43 local clubs with ap
proximately 325 boys and girls
carrying 390 projects.
"If you multiply the achieve
ments of one Morrow County
4-IIer by 2,285,000 boys and girls,
you wiil have the result of our
Nation's 4-H youth learning, liv
ing and serving through 4-H,"
the agents said.
LETTER TO MR. K. Kathy Keene, lone 4-H Club member, wrote her 1962 4-H Story in the form
of a letter to Soviet Leader Khrushchev telling him about her 4-H work and asking him, "Please,
Mr. Khrushchev, Won't you consider starting a 4-H program in your country?" Kathy is the
