You can see by this list that
4-H Is appealing to youngsters
with varying interests and has
other projects to interest even
more. Already being planned
for this year are new clubs in
woodworking, outdoorsman ana
square dancing.
The major limiting factor in
both exDandlne existing 4-H
project? and starting new proj
ects is the shortage of volun
tecr leaders.
So, parents, if you want to
help provide more opportunities
to your youngsters mrougn n

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." ',. ,
