ones who are trying to better themselves, not the ones hanging around the streets all hours of the night, ramming around in cars and often being suspects or guilty of the vandalisms and crimes that we read and hear so much about day in and day out. The work of the 4-H helps to build character, improve the morals and give the kids ideals to aim for as they go through life. They are using some of their spare time to the best advantage in learning helpful things that will give them more than just a little knowledge of some certain phases of life, but gives them the advantage of learning to do things right, gaining the respect of their leaders and supervisors, and learning also the spirit of competition which they can use as they enter adulthood. To often, a CoUnty Fair turns out to be an amusement park for many, but the true meaning of these is fun and fellowship and to honor the work and the individuals themselves in the 4-H work. Everyone should have a fine time at the fair and part of this is taking time to walk through the exhibit areas and see the various works of the competitors. Seeing a grand champion can be a thrill not often matched and one that puts within the individuals a feeling of self satisfaction and pride that can’t be matched anywhere. Your support of the 4-H work and the 4-Her’s themselves is your way of showing appreciation to these leaders of tomorrow, which for many isn’t very far in the future. than this editor printed.
