His future plans include com pleting this course of study at Oregon State College, with a minor in agriculture.

Dur ing this time he has carried a wide variety of projects includ ing gardening, cooking, crafts, forestry, beef, and poultry. Major Activity The past three years his major activity has been serving as a junior leader for forestry proj ects within the club. His junior leadership activity was preceded by active years as a club member. During these years Smith has held every office in the club, in cluding president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, song leader and recreation chair man.

The 4-H club member of the month has a brother, Ste phen, 14, who is building an outstanding record in 4-H work. Work Closely The two boys have worked , closely with their father, A. A. Smith, to develop their 4-H proj ects into work which has lasting value to them as guides to future professions. The family lives on a 27J4 acre farm on Columbus ave. Fifteen acres are in pear orchards, and the bulk of the farm is in pasture land. The pasture land is used to care for the family's beef and sheep. Don owns six head of Here fords, two of which are register ed animals; and Stephen has 19 head of sheep. It was through the care of farm animals, and the building of facilities for them that Smith developed his interest in agri culture and civil engineering. Under the guidance of his father, Smith learned to make feeders and water troughs for the stock. He assumed responsibility in keeping up corrals and pens. He built and wired brooders for the chickens. He now works with both sheet metal and home weld ing.
