Spirit of 4H Club Work

(By Inez Stump, Leader, Washiugton Township Girls’ Club)

The spirit of 4H club work lies within the 4 H's of the embhlem of the clover. Enumerated they are: Head, heart, hand and health. The work which is given to the 4 H's to do through club work comnrises the living spirit of the organization. The pledge of the 4li ciub requires clearer thinking. Ci.ear thirking plays an important part in the successful person’s life. Without clear thinking one would not be able to plan his work and ilay in order to get the most out of it. Foolhardy risks, accidents and the like ave many times the result of muddled thinking.

The person enteripg the club uext pledges hi sheart to more true loyaity This primarily means loyalty to the club, the community, the couutry; but secondarily, it means loyalty to any worth principle which one lis going to follow. Without loyalty any organization is worthless. What could the general of an army do if everyone should desert him? The aim would be lost. Is not the same trug with organization? The club entree next pledges his hands to greater service. This makes for better club work, for better communities, and in turn a better country. This is jluast as important as clear thinking and crue loyalty. With clear thinking and loyalty an increas ed turn-out of work js desirable for the type of work pro:duced vnder such favorable conditions is extremely wel come. It promises promotion. The last H standg for health. Whal can one do without good health? It is essential to clear thinking to promote truer loyalty and greater service. Poor heallth is not only expensive to you—it greatly affects those abaut you. The four H's are linked closely together. Without one they all suffer.

It is true that the four H’s comprise the spirit, the firm foundation upon which 4 H club work is organized. Clear thinking true loyalty greater service and good heaith for ourselves our - community and our country. These rulez can be applied to any organization anywhere.

~ Fine-car Practice Joins Hands with Low Price in the ' FORD V-8 # 1936

THE FORD V-8, the Lincoln-Zephyr and the Lincoln express three distinct peaks in motor car achievement. Each, in its price class, represents the maximum that advanced engineering skill has been able to produce. That each is an outstanding value in its own field is due in no small measure to the fact that all three enjoy the same resources, the same laboratory advanBecause of this intimate relation, it is not surprising that the 1936 Ford V-8 is outstanding in performance, dependability, and safety, and that in operation and up-keep it is the most economical Ford car ever built. Your neighborhood Ford dealer will gladly lend you a 1936 Ford V-8 for a thorough try-out. Drive it—over smooth roads and rough roads.

Safety Campaign Being Urged

Declaring that the “safety week” should not be the all-in-all of community effort to make streets and highways safe for motorists and pedestrians, Mr. Hutchens secretarymanager of the Fort Wayne Motor club, stated that his organization strongly supported the plan of the American Automobile association for a long-pull campaign to cut down traffic fatalities.

“The ‘safety week’ is a good starting point,” said Mr. Hutchens *but it should not be the beginning and the ending. Let such a concentrafed effort serve as the starting gun but keep up the firing after the end of the week. Community campaigns to reduce automobile fatalitigs cannot hope to be successful if citizen in terest is jammed into only one of the 52 weeks. The other 51 are jus. as important from the point of view of saving lives. . *We must not be lulled into a fec! ing that safety efforts are not necessary because we have read that traftic deaths for 1936 {o date are less than they were for the same period a year ago,” warned the motor cub official. ‘“‘We have experienced a most severe winter. Fewer cars were on the road. Drivers were fore ed to be more cauttous. Alchough it is pleasing to note such statistics we must remember that the heavy accident seasons are just arcund the corner.” 3
