Oregon Youth Join in 4-H Recognition Nearly 37,000 Oregon 4-H members will be asking others to join tnem in uie states iun ana learning program uuuug National 4-H Week Oct. 4 through 10. The week also marks the beginning of major 4-H activities and Is a good time for both young people between 9 and 19 and adults to get involved, points out Cal Monroe, Oregon State University extension 4-H and youth specialist. The week's theme, "4-H Cares," captures the meaning of the program "very well," Monroe believes. "4-H does care about developing responsible citizens, promoting nutrition and health, strengthening family life, improving the environment, helping in community development and helping people help themselves." The 4-H program is in every Oregon county and special events are planned during the week to call attention to opportunities in 4-H. "The program is open to all young people," Monroe empha sizes, and includes some 60 regular projects ranking from small engines to horses and clothing. In addition, young people them selves can suggest subjects about which they want to learn more. Oregon is a pioneer in offering 4-H to all young people in the state, Monroe explains, but still "some people think you have to live on a farm."
