ACTIVITIES OF ADAMS COUNTY 4-H CLUBS ——♦ Tells es Trip During the early part of June it was my privilege to be one of the two delegates from Adams county to attend the sixth 4-H club Junior leader training conference, which was held In the Boy Scout camp of Marlon county, under the direction of the 4-H club director of Purdue University and sponsored by the Kiwanls club of Indiana. Miss Juanita Lehman was also a representative from Adams county. About 300 of Indiana’s Junior leaders spent a Jolly and profitable week at the reservation. Group discussion, nature study, music, dramatics, and group recreation were some of the subjects on which the club people gained pointers that will be valuable in leading 4 H groups in their home communities. Miss Lehman and I drove to camp with Glen Lehker, extension entomologist of Purdue, who was also in charge of a nature study tour each day. The camp is situated in a very

beautiful and natural scenic setting not far from Fort Benjamin Harrison, and just a short distance northwest of the town of Lawrence. In the camp is some very attractive natural landscaping. The fieldhouse and individual cabins are situated at either end of the reservation on small hills or knolls, with a hollow in between, fn the hollow is located the gyro pavilion, a combination pop stand, post office, and game equipment room, usually the center of activity for leisurely people. The whole camp Is traversed by deep occasional ravines that can be crossed only by bridges. Baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and a dandy concrete swimming pool are also available. In one of the most thickly wooded spots is an open air amphitheater. Here were held very impressive vesper services each evening at 7 o'clock, consisting of short spiritual talks, singing and prayer. The services were in charge of the club people. We were fortunate in having some outstanding people in their professions as instructors and speakers. Probably the most popular one was A. B. Graham of Washington, D. C. Mr. Graham has a very pleasing personality.

He is 70 years old, but is very young In spirit. He spoke to us on such topics as group discussion, qualities of a good leader, etc. Other speakers were George Byers, post district governor of Kiwanls; Dr. Z. M. Smith, state club leader of Purdue; Prof. O. F. Hall of Purdue; Bob Amick, Harry Ainsworth, Mr. Marshall, and, of course, Al Stewart of Purdue who was a very competent director of music. The group received some intensive, practical instruction in lead ing songs from Mr. Stewart. The 300 delegates were divided Into groups of 40 and each day these separate groups held group discussions under different leaders chosen from the groups. Here Ideas were expressed from practically every county on program planning, recreation, etc. These groups of 40 assembled on the lawns for organized recreation every afternoon. One of the things I value most highly is the contact made with the club people and acquaintances established all over the state of Indiana, and I shall certainly look forward to seeing many of the 300 outstanding 4-H people 1 became acquainted with in the future. I wish to express my gratitude to the ones who made it possible for me to attend this conference, as I am sure - it will prove to be very beneficial to me. Gerhart Schwartz.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. IS»7. King Fentur.-n S>ndic»t». Inc. HOLLYWOOD-Lights! Camera! Action! For the Wanger picture, "Standin.” Director Tay Garnett is shooting a scene of a conference of New York bankers. This is a comedy, and inclined to exaggerate, but it is interesting to see what Hollywood thinks the money moguls look like in their lairs. The room has thick paneled walls and heavy, undecorative furniture. The bankers, all except Leslie Howard, are old men suggesting dignity and solidarity. Mr. Howard has to be young because he must fall in love with the heroine, a Hollywood standin played by Joan Biondell. But it Is explained that he was a child prodigy, entering college at 12, and that he has developed into a human adding machine. He doesn’t do anything exciting in this particular shot, neither does anybody else. You never go away from a set, however, without learning something. Here, for instance, you observe that, whenever there are bankers’ conferences in the movies, the faces around the table are always the same. Since 1929, there has been less turnover in actors who play bankers than in real bankers. It happens in another scene of "Standin" but Joan Blondell has a classic line of dialogue. She plays a child star of 15 years ago who has outgrown her popularity and who has to work as a standin. Trying to explain her change of fortune to Banker Howard, who has come out to the coast to reorganize the picture business on a sane basis, she says: “If my mother had found away to stunt my growth, I’d still be the biggest draw in the business.” With Carole Lombard, Fredric March and Director William Wellman on the Job, the Selznick picture.

fiest set in town. They could probably turn the cameras around be- i tween scenes and get a funnier ! picture than the one they are shooting from the script. Lombard and Charles Wmlnger , are having trouble with a scene « , this week. . . She is lying in a gorgeous bed, wearing a pink nightgown, and he • is trying to get her to eat an egg. > Lombard blows a line, lets out a ■ yell and jerks the covers over her • head. Wininger is supposed to say “radium” but says “radio" instead, I and promptly scuttles off the set ■ yelling “Radium! Radium!” at the t top of his voice. Wellman puts his head in his arms and groans, “Dear heavens, • let me have the next.” ■ They do it right. “Lunch!" yells 1 Wellman and everybody dashes tor i the commissary. I Hollywood certainly must love | I its food for Carole Lombard walks • out in the studio street wearing her pink nightie and nobody even ; stares at her. i Soon there won’t be an actor in , Hollywood who can’t say, "I was a ■ newspaperman once myself.” Joe E. Brown plays one of the press in > his new picture, “Fit For a King.” ' We watch him shoot a slapstick s comedy scene with little Helen i Mack. Joe is disguised in a maid's cosi tume to outwit rival reporters. He ’ stands behind a door and as Helen comes in, he hits her over the head with a breakaway vase. When he ’ sees who it is, he grabs her up, , i stumbles over to the bed and dumps her, falling over with her i in his excitement. Helen lands just as she happens i to hit—one time doubled up, an- ' other with her head dangling over ' the foot of the bed. In the last • take, Brown’s nail flicks a piece of skin off her nose and they have to send for a doctor to fix it up. Helen has never worked in a comedy before and been tossed around like this. “How’m I doing?” she asks Di- , rector Ed Sedgewick. “Don’t worry kid,” he says, “You’re doing fine. What we’re i worried about is whether Brown will hold out."
