Both cars had been moved before the po- ' ■ lice arrived. .A witness reported that the accident happened on the railroad tracks. Damage to the left side of the Kitson machine amounted to $l5O, while the Beer machine received S2OO damage to the right side.

Five rural youths recently completed four days of classes and training at the 4-H junior leader conference at DePauw University.

Mary's township, and is a member of the Kegiongas 4-H club. Tn her seventh year in 4-H this summer, she has taken mainly general home economics work. Connie Bergman, of the Monmouth Merry Maids, has also done general home economics work, which includes .clothing, baking, food preservation, food preparation, and home improvement. Connie has i also done extensive work in crafts in her seven years. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Strouse, • of Root township.

The 4-H conference at DePauw did not only hold classes and work, but recreation, for the junior leaders. What they have written about the conference makes a compos-i ite picture of the four days. “At ■ 6 am. Tuesday, June 9, Connie : Bergman. Nancy Bailey, Duane Arnold. Jerry Sommer, and I met at the extension office in Decatur ' where county agent Leo Seltenright took us to Huntington,” John re- I calls. “There we boarded a chartered bus for DePauw University in Greencastle. We arrived before noon and checked into Mason and Longden Halls, which were to be our residences for the next four days. While we were there, the meals were all well-prepared and enjoyed by all. “All the delegates were divided into different groups for classes. We were taught subjects which would be useful to bring back to our own counties.” Duane, talking about the classes and the general sessions, says, “At the conference, each delegate attended three sessions of four different classes. The topics of the classes were “Understanding People,' ‘Jobs of a junior leader,’ ‘leading discussion,' and ‘my future.’ The classes were taught by the district counselors, who were elected by the 1958 delegates to come back to the conference this year. There were five general sessions, which featured group singing and announcements. At the end of each session, a speech was given by a delegate. The topics of these speeches were ‘Understanding people.’ ‘elimination of prejudice,’ ‘appreciation of our heritage,’ ‘citizenship and you,' and ‘let’s work for peace.’ After each speech a letter was raised and after the, final session, The letters spelled, ‘Peace’.” “In the ‘leading discussion’ class,” Connie says about the work done, “we learned why we were meeting, how to-get ready for the meeting, how t<s listen in a discussion, how to talk in a discussion, and how to lead a discussion. “In our class of ‘understanding people' we learned the program for the ten to thirteen-year-old 4-H member and what we as junior leaders can do for them. In the class of ‘my future,’ we learned about selection of our career and 1 the requirements of our vocation.” Nancy, remembering her enjoyment of the recreation offered at the coherence said, "The entertainment at night was wonderful. Each night we liad a dance. On Thursday we had a picnic on the football field. We had a teen canteen that night and people our own age were\in charge of entertainment. Like all the other trips, the last night the boys came to the dorm and serenaded us. It was very nice.” Summing up the whole confer-

ence, Connie adds, “The junior leaders of the many district reaped many benefits by learning how to work and play together, how to understand others, and how to achieve cooperation in 4-H work."
