with Burdine Tullis -
You read a lot about 4 H,
. and you trust your young
, people to the care and
guidance of 4 H leaders and
Extension staff because the
i 4 H symbol is known and
respected as a youth develop
ment program. We believe
that the program is of
importance to the youth of our
country, as a supplemental
educational opportunity. Per
haps this is one of the secrets
of success, that the youth have
the opportunity to choose that
which is of interest to them,
and work at their own pace.
We believe, also, the following
statements, not necessarily in
any order of importance.
To learn by doing is a
fundamental in any sound
educational program, and
characteristic of the 4 H
program.
, ,. Our job is to teach 4 H'ers
how to think, not what to think.
Learning how to do their
project is more important
than the project itself.
The 4 H boy or girl is more
important than the project.
A blue ribbon member with
, a red ribbon project is more
. desirable than a red ribbion
member with a blue ribbon
project
Competition is a natural
human trait and should be
recognized as such in our 4 H
program.
But 4 H must provide also
an opportunity and recogni
tion for the youth that are not
stimulated by competition.
The 4 H program must
provide opportunities for all
youth. There are many good
ways to do most things. There
is no specific 4 H way, except
the challenging of youth to
think and develop methods to
solve problems.
Every 4 H member should
be their own best exhibit,
and...
Every member needs re
cognition of their efforts, an
opportunity to succeed and
feel good about it, and praise
or recognition.
The above statements are
part of a philosophy of 4 H "I
Believe." In our county we
also believe that it is impor
tant for the member to have
some fun doing their projects,
for it makes the learning
easier. We also believe that
there should be a project for
every interest of youth, from
the creative arts on through
the livestock and home ec
onomics and personal de
velopment projects.
We believe many things...
and we will be slipping some
of our philosophy of 4 H into
this column as we go along.
We hope to use this space for
the recognition of members,
leaders, and others who con
tribute to the program, and for
the purpose of helping readers
understand what is happening
in their county through the
4 H program.

experiences for most of the
kids. That is Summer Week.
formerly 4-H Summer Scho
ol, rney traveled Dy bus with
three other county's rep
resentatives, so you know they
had fun and new friends from
the start. And they came home
Saturday, a little more mature
from their experiences, a little
more prepared to think ahead
to the time when they may be
students on that or a similar
campus. For that is part of the
4 H opportunity.. .the chance
to have new experiences
under the supervision of
qualified people, while at the

all had good times.

..We see many young people
passing through the extention

are not in the employment
business, and have no help to
offer them. ..but it is gratifying
to know that the young people
in our county want to work.

the Roger Palmer family,
Heppner will be host family
for a young woman from
Greece this summer. She will
be coming to the county under

the country, but how the 4 II

rural areas. She will be
working in a program similar

host family for two Japanese
exchangees in the past, and

Emma Lemmon, Imogene
Eaton and Luella Bristol of
Red Bluff Calif, were Lexing
ton callers one day last week.
These ladies are the daughters
of the late Freemont Sprouls
and made their home up Black
Horse Canyon for several
years with two of the ladies
being born there. They told
interesting stories about the
Billy Leach Store and took
pictures in the town. Like all
former residents they had to
admit that the small town of
Lexington has changed quite a
bit since the early 1900's. They
also told of their father
helping with the victims from
the Heppner flood and other
things they could remember.
The ladies were planning on
going on to Heppner where
they would stay the night and
do some research at the
Courthouse the next day.
Mr. and Mrs. Don McTavish
.Lexington town member
usage was down .2 per cent
while the Ruggs rural area
showed a 10.3 per cent decline
in power usage. In Blalock,
rural member usage was
down 22.2 percent, mid-Rock
Creek area usage was down
12.2 per cent and Fossil town
member usage was down 11.1
per cent.
Harrison said small bus
iness users had shown a
substantial increase in use for
1977 over the previous year.
He said part of the 19.5 per
cent increase could be at
tributed to remodeling and the
installation of electric heating
systems in many businesses.

Put in a ValleyCenter Pivot, right now.
And as a special incentive, we can offer the
cash bonus from the factory for taking ad
vantage of this in-season installation. Three
summer finance plans are available, too.
1. Flexible season payments
2. Lowest ever 10-year lease rate with
minimum down
3. Interest free interim financing

treat your field like it was our own.
There are other good reasons to install
a Valley Center Pivot right now. Ask your
self, do you think it'll cost less next year?
Do you think good yields wait for rain? And
you could probably swing a deal easier
