"and the demand exceeds sales
over ten to one."

E
SCOUT DINNER IS
HELD AT CHURCh
"The local 411 club in a chang
ing world" is the main theme in
observance of national 4H club
week, March 2 to 10, according
to Earlc Jossy, Jackson county
club agent, who said the organi
zation has adopted a national
goal of 3,200,000 members by
Kino.
Unit leaders In Jackson county
will observe the week with a
meeting at the courthouse audi
torium at 8 p. m. Wednesday.
In establishing the project,
1,100 club leaders, county exten
sion agents, and delegates at the
congress in Chicago early in De
cember analyzed local situations
and discussed their solution. Ef
forts will be made with the sup
port of these delegates to en
courage rural young people to
attack the significant issues of
the new atomic era as related to
their local problems.
According to Jossy, "It is the
hope that in every local com
munity 4H nembers will carry
on in the same fine spirit as did
their delegates to the National
Club Congress. In discussing such
important issues as housing,
health, vocational choices, mar
keting, distribution, conserva
tion, recreation, and mainte
nance of world peace, these
young people can make a really
remarkable beginning in demon-
striding how they can develop
their own local 411 programs as
effectively in solving the prob
lems of peace in this new era of
atomic energy as.they did In solv
ing the problems of war on the
homo front."
