wevfS | By Ruth R. Snellenberger Dear 4-H Parents and Friends, Because I wish to chat about leaders I have addressed this column patipularly to “4-H Parents and Friends.” Have you guessed already? Leaders are needed for the 1954-55 4-H club year. Last week I suggested areas in ' the county where there surely are girls interested in a small 4-H club. This chatter about leaders, I hope will answer questions from persons in those and all areas of the county about advantages of being a 4-H leader. What are the advantages of being a 4-H adult leader? First, she learns right along with the girls. Many mothers who are leaders make this comment. They say they learn about new and approved practices in homemaking activities.. an easier method for putting in rippers, information about lighting needs, correct measuring, recommended parliamentary procedure, and so forth. ’ Second, she gains poise in ap-! pearing before groups. Several leaders have told of learning about 4-H members giving demonstrations and of preparing some themselves to give before their club groups as an example. Third, a leader achieves a satisfaction of having helped youth in her community to grow in i leadership and in getting along with others as well as to grow in i project experiences. The club experience under the guidance of a good leader helps girls and boys apply democratic principles in talcing part in meetings, assuming responsibilities, and so forth. Fourth, a home economics adult I leader has the satisfaction of helping girls pepare for their future job as a homemaker I’ve had girls, now married and with families of their own. say that the experience of being in charge of family meals for a week or two (a requirement in division V. food preparation) was certainly particularly helpful. i Fifth, a leader is a recognized member of her community and of ( her county. In Kosciusko County ; as well as many other counties in the state, the Chain Store division ; of the Retail Merchants Association gives a dinner and presents pins and certificates to leaders. A , bronze 4-leaf clover pin is given for ; first year service as a leader; a sil- ( ver pin for completing 5 years as , a leader and a gold pin for ten , years as a leader. Certificates are given for the in-between years. There are other pin awards for . higher number years service. Who can be a leader? Any , mother or interested person in a j community who likes girls and - boys and te interested in helping ; them could be a leader. Such a person would need to be able to j give time for local club meetings 4 and to attend as many county ( adult leader meetings as possible, would want to help give project , instruction whenever she could. , would need to give encouragement j when sometimes interest begins to lag. and would need to be patient, ( kind, understanding, and so forth. , How much instruction should a < leader give? During the first year : a leader will probably have little . time to give much project instruc- . Uon Once she is familiar with enrollment. demonstration, judging. , and record book requirements, j then she would be able to set some j time aside at meetings for instruc- s turn or feel that she could take a j - .

Ice Show Coming Soon GO GET HIM. GIRLS! — “Killer” BUI Blocker has to fight off the girls in several numbers of Holiday on Ice of 1955 which opens at Fort Wayne's Memorial Coliseum Oct. 8 through Oct. 14. The icer, I making its seventh annual trek to Fort Wayne, plays nine shows, including matinees Saturday and Sunday, and it'll be the only ice * show in Fort Wayne this season.

I particular project group in her. home for instruction. A leader is! not expected to be proficient in all J phases of homemaking!!! Perhaps the leader is recognized as a ■ successful baker in the community. A lady in the community who sews well might be named on the advisory committee and could give the instruction in clothing. Training meetings arranged by the county extension office give training in some phases for adult and jounior leaders to take back to local club members. Next week I'd like to discuss local club organization and to give information about enrollment practices and policies. "Bye now." ■ Local News Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scott were.
