DEAR 4-H MEMBERS:
It is a pleasure to greet you, the three and one-fourth
million young men and women who are now looking forward
to National 4-H Week.
Vour theme, "Opportunity for All," is timely and Im
portant as you strive to extend the benefits of your "learn
by doing" educational program to increasingly more youth
everywhere. Today we need as never before your dedicated
efforts to strengthen the moral and spiritual values of our
Nation, and its economic growth and stability.
I'm gratified to know that, through your four fold empha
sis of Head, Heart, Hands, and Health, you are enabling young
Americans in town and country from all social and econom
ic backgrounds to develop qualities of leadership and good
citizenship.
Through your ever-expanding 4-H program I urge you to
give particular attention to the problems of hunger and mal
nutrition, and to join in all efforts to improve your communi
ties wherever you live. Together let us build for a better
tomorrow not only in this country, but also in all the lands
around the world where 4-H aims and principles are followed
for human welfare and betterment.
