itarow u llfli C My Recipe for a 4-H Leader The l-II leaders are the backbone of our 4-H clubs. To sum it all up, I have a recipe for a full fledged 4-H leader: Take 12 full months of 4-H work; divide each of the.se months into 28, 30, or 31 parts. Prepare one meeting at a time as follows: Into each meeting put 12 parts of together ness, 11 parts of responsibility, 10 parts of get ting to know you, 9 parts of courage, 8 parts of work (some omit this ingredient and so spoil the rest), 7 parts of loyalty, G of personality, 5 of kindness, 4 of recreation (leaving this out is like leaving the oil out of the salad), 3 of special activities, 2 of refreshments and 1 of touring each member's projects. To this add a dash of fun, a sprinkle of play, and a cupful of good humor. Pour into the whole mixture lots of leadership and mix with vim. Cook thoroughly with fervent heat, garnish with smiles and a sprig of joy. Serve with great ness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness. Happy 4-H members are sure to be the result. Mrs. M. L.

THE GAZETTE-TIMES met HEPPNER Heppner, Oregon 97836, Thursday, September 29, 1966 Sec. 2 PROCLAMATION Character development and good citizenship are two of the bonuses that come from membership In 4-H clubs, and these benefit the public at large, as well as the youths participating In the program. From the ranks of the 4-H club today will come many of tomorrow's leaders, and so all should take considerable satisfaction In the growth of the movement, which was Inaugurated by the United States Government in 1914 and has now spread not only across the nation but to 72 foreign countries as well. Through demonstrations and participating in activities, 4-H members learn by doing. At the same time they improve their homes and communities. Key to the success of the movement is the work of the voluntary adult leaders, and parents and friends who sup port 4 H and give encourage ment to the members. Opportunities in 4-H are open to all bovs and girls from ages 9 to 21, and these opportunities are right here In Morrow county through the many local clubs that offer training In many practical skills.
