"World of Opportunity" offers an appropriate theme for this year's observance, as 4-H Club work continues to gain momen tum throughout the world. Sixty countries now have 4-H or sim ilar programs, and in Oregon, according to a mid-year report, 4-H membership reached a new high with 36,548 boys and girls participating. National 4-H Week serves as a springboard, initiating the 4-H year. It gives youngsters a chance to enroll in project work of their choice and sets the stage for upcoming 4-H pro grams. Cal Monroe, state 4-H exten sion agent, said an additional 2,150 boys and girls were added to Oregon 4-H pro.icets this year. Major gains in the past year, he said, were in horse projects, junior leadership and health. Also showing appreciable gains were dog, rabbit, flower growing, vegetable gardening, archery, gun safety, electricity, woodworking, empire builders, food preparation and home im provement projects. A new 4-H TV Action Club will beam a series of television programs on emergency prepar edness to many Oregon young sters who might not otherwise be able to participate in such a project. . Of particular interest in the upcoming 4-H year is the Out doorsman project. It is an intro ductory project in the natural science area of 4-H Club work. It is designed for junior 4-H members in the 9 to 12 year age bracket, and for those who prefer a general project to a specific one such as entomolo gy, forestry, geology or one of the wildlife projects. Hikes and field trips are a major part of the Outdoorsman Dog Obedience Club Gains in Popularity A 4-H project gaining in pop ularity in the state and new to Morrow county this year is the 4-H Dog Obedience.
