And to be well informed and active citizens of the U.S. is the prime objective of 2.3 million 4-H Club boys and girls. Their theme for the year, "Citizenship j in Action" was launched last November during the National 4-H Club Congress at Chicago. Nearly an entire day was given to a general discussion of what constitutes citizenship in this age of cold wars, explora tion of outer space, communica tion satelites and the like. Being well informed on social, political and economic issues was the foremost qualification for citizenship stated during the session. Education, understand ing and a willingness to assume responsibility also were consid ered prime requisites for intelli gent and effective citizenship. The two young people shown in the photograph are examples of vigorous, purposeful Ameri can citizens. Jacky Strickland, 20, is a student at the Univer sity of Florida and 1962 winner of a national 4-H leadership award. Miss Emily Jean Thomas, 19, is a national winner of the 4-H achievement award and a student at Radford College, Virginia. Both received $400 scholarships. These 4-H Club members have a long record of initiative, serv ice and dependability. They are FOCUS ON CITIZENSHIP :. i s " ) llS I Jacky Strickland and Miss Emily Jan Thomas well informed citizens active in school, community and public affairs. They have thousands of counterparts in their home states products of 4-H training and environment. At a recent 4-H meeting, citi zenship was defined as "the unending process of education." This concept ties in to the "learn-by-doing" method applied to all 4-H projects and activi ties. During a 4-H Club mem bership that could span as much as 11 years, members steadily add to their knowledge and im prove their skills. Along the way, individual en terprise is recognized and re warded. Educational trips, spe cial training courses and college scholarships are among the awards. These 4-H extras have been provided for more than four decades by leading business firms through arrangements made with the National 4-H Service Committee and the Co operative Extension Service. This year nearly $150,000 in scholarships will be awarded to current and former 4-H Club members by some 50 donors. Among these private business and educational enterprises are: Ford Motor Co. Fund, Inter national Harvester Co., Fire stone Tire & Rubber Co., E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Standard Brands Incorporated, Kerr Glass Mfg. Corp., Coats & Clark Inc., Oliver Corporation, Carnation Company, Simplicity Pattern Co. Inc., Westinghouse Educatinal Foundation, Hercu les Powder Co.

It is open competition anyone can enter and the one thing that It proved by its searing 500 miles Is just exactly how well a car hangs together. At Daytona, Florida, on February 24, five brand-new 1963 Fords showed the world what durability means by sweeping the first five places. And that has never been equaled in Daytona history I The box score at the left tells the true story... car endurance that takes brutal punishment and comes back for more. No proving ground can equal this kind of torture. Daytona was a chal lenge we welcomed, a chance to prove in open competition the essen tial durability that makes possible the silence, the solid road-grip, the ease of control, the balanced braking . . . and all the other things that go into Ford'i concept of total performance. These were the same '63 Super Torque Fords that made styling history at their preview at Monaco, and which were recently announced at your Ford Dealer's.
