Things To Teach New 4-H'ers
KEEP THEM HEALTHY: Your hog ie bound to do his best in the show ring if you raise him on a sound sanitation program. Hogs raised in clean, sanitary quarters, and wormed should finish in top

Urges Support Of Farm Safety THE INDIANA FARM SAFETY COUNCIL, INC. urges all Hoosier runtl residents to support Nation« 1 Farm Safety Week, July 25-31, as proclaimed by President Lyn-
don B. Johnson.
Special emphasis will} be given this year to the prevention of accidents involving slowmoving vehicles, chemicals, electricity, and recreational activities. THE INDIANA FARM SAFETY COUNCIL ur^ es that strong new efforts be made to eliminate hazards and correct unsafe practices which cause far too many farm arid rural accidents. Last year farm accidents resulted in 8.400 deaths and more than 780.000 injuries. Of these deaths, 3.600 wijre mo-tor-vehicle, 2.000 were in the home, 2,600 were work accidents, and 800 resulted from non-motor vehicle accidents. C. Wesley Dane, president of the council, says. “Thu farm picture is constantly changing. With new’ machinery, chemicals. and methods, it is a
own programs. Each boy and girl chooses a job or project to do at home or on the farm. A local leader guides the club. A leader usually lives in the neighborhood and is often a parent of some of the members. As a leader, you are interested in working with boys and girls in your community. You help members with their projects and advise them in their meetings. Your rew’ard is the satisfaction of seeing boys and girls develop skills and grow in character and citizenship. Extension Workers’ Part Cooperative Extension Service workers help interested groups of boys and girls organize 4-H Clubs and help leaders guide these clubs. They help members and leaders plan club programs and activities. They show the best way to earn’ on a project, supply project bulletins. and give other information to improve farming and home-
making.
What Does It Cost? Members pay nothing to join a 4-H Club. All report forms and project bulletins are free. Clubs may charge dues for their own use if they choose to do
so.
