It is needless to say that the response is very gratifying—an honor roll established and the “boys” certainly are doing their part in this period of re-adjustment. Few examples are: First National Bank, Federation of Clubs, J. C. Penny, Farm Bureau, Home Economics, Kiwanis club and many others. We believe that you want to be on the honor roll. Boosting 4-H dub gives us opportunities to get in closer contact with the farm folk and in turn benefits- Putnam County is one of the best counties in the state and Greencastle is a good town, let’s let others know that. Lend a hand, take part in the county activities, invite the dub members and parents to Greencastle and to your place. Let them know you are really interested in their activities; they will appreciate it and
will not forget you.
“Please understand this organization is not “Begging” in these times of distress; or ideals and plane of objectives are far above that. This movement was started not by the 4-H dub members but by progressive business men. They know the value of taking part in 4-H club work.”
