Judging on a local basis determines the more successful of the 4-H'ers, but come fair time and the displays, very fine work is displayed by all. Make plans to visit a 4-H fair this summer and while there, make a special attempt to take enough time to walk through the display areas and see the work that has been done by these young people. The reward of what you see will make the time and eff nt more than worth while. help encourage your policeman instead of always running them down. If you want to complain why don’t you write to your congressman and tell him just to do away with the policeman and you. as people can run these towns like you please. I'm sure every policeman is capable of obtaining a better job with better pay, however he is trying to do his share in making this a better community to live in. I could say much more but I ni sure you are too busy complaining to listen! Sally Candler Wife of a policeman
