COUNTY FAIR TIME For the next three weeks it will be County Fair time in Indiana. This is always a highly anticipated time and fun time for Indiana, especially the rural areas where 4-H is still a big thing in the lives of the youth and in many instances growing due to the constantly expanding projects offered. County Fair time, with its lighted midways, the many booths and other activities that attract the attention, still belongs to the youth and this is one time the 4-H can proudly strut their stuff as the many participants display their projects for all to see. 4-H has lived through the many changing life styles of the past couple of decades and the glitter of it all still remains as it has truly stood the test of time. The success of the program is there for all to see, and the pride and satisfaction derived from this outstanding program reaches its pinnacle at county fair time. We hope everyone that goes to the many fairs around, Goshen, Argos, Hamlet, South Bend and LaPorte, the neighboring ones in the next few weeks, will take some time out to look at, appreciate and enjoy the work of the youth who have again taken part in the 4-H work and display their projects whether it be beef cattle, garden vegetables, dresses, electrical displays, or whatever. The work and effort that goes into these projects make all the 4-H’ers a winner regardless of what color ribbon they may win. County Fair time is fun time . . . and it still belongs to the youth. We would like to congratulate all who take part, their leaders and parents for the help and patience as the glitter of 4-H work just continues to shine brighter year after year after year.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Oat Os Their Minds Blue Cross-Blue Shield have gone out of their minds. In 1981, my wife and 1 paid $1,212.12 in premiums for the whole year with SIOO deductible. Our premium for six months now । costs $1,651.32 with SI,OOO deductible. Our daughter’s policy (she is away at school) cost $99.74 per month with SI,OOO deductible, also. I wonder if anyone else has this same dilemma. You sure can’t be without. Concerned
