National 4-H Week start* this weekend. The official date is-September 24 to October 1. This is the time of year when completion and achievement meetings are held and next year’s enrollment starts. Formerly 4-H was only a summer program, but it is becoming a year found program in many areas. Since this is the eve of National 4-H Week, let’s see how 4-H got started, its scope and its

objectives.

4-H is the educational youth program of the Cooperative Extension Service. The Smith-Lever Act passed by Congress in 1914 providing for cooperative extension work in agriculture and home economics also included boys and girls club work. Congressman Lever, one of the sponsors of the bill, made clear his intent as to the scope of the act by stating “My efforts to secure the passage of The Smith-Lever Act had the most encouragement from the com and tomato clubs, and I hope sincerely that a large share of this money will be devoted to an expansion of the work with

young folks.”

4-H combines the efforts of counties, state land grant colleges and universities, and the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture. In Indiana 4-H is an educational activity and responsibility of Purdue University. Guiding, supporting and enriching the

eared to meet the interests and eeds of different age groups— Jrom the fourth grade through

high school.

the volunteer leaders, provide expanded opportunities for 4-H members to participate in coun-

ty, state and national events.

- 4-H is for boys and girls ages *

io to 19. Program offerings are as mild as Dr. Phil Ogilvie, zoo

director, had said he was. “It’s a timid animal—the

chances are he will retreat from people faster than they will from him,’* Ogilvie had

said Thursday*.

Policemen Elzy Garrison and Kent Smith were aiding In the search for Ivan when they walked beside the Army reserve building and heard a noise. They looked up and saw Ivan perched on the edge of the roof a few feet above them. The officers backed off and radioed for help. Meanwhile, Ivan climbed higher up the

roof.

An hour later, assistant zoo director Jerry Lentz fired a seven-inch tranquilizer dart into the left hip of the leopard, who was about 20 feet away. Ivan jerked slightly but then calmly laid down. Ivan was immediately returned to his cage at the zoo and given an antidote to counteract the tranquilizer, so he could be fed sooner. Ivan, 8, slipped through an open gate and jumped about 15 feet to freedom Wednesday night. Ogilvie blamed Ivan’s escape on “human error,” saying a night keeper had accidently left open a gate to Ivan's cage.

j 4-H involves members, parents, volunteer leaders and sup-

porting groups,

t The success of a 4-H club is Impendent upon the interest and zeal of its members, the packing and encouragement of the parents, the competence and ■edication of its leaders, the Understanding and support of

jhe community.

1 4-H is for young people on farms, in towns, in suburbs and

fa cities.

* In Indiana about 43 per cent the 4-H members live on jarms, 34 per cent in rural nonfarm areas, and 23 per cent in

trban areas.

I 4-H work is a growing and |oing concern. In the U.S. the |-H movement has grown from Jpss than half a million in 1923 fa nearly 2*3 million in 1963. Nearly 95,000 youth are in 4-H

york this year (1966).

t The 4-H idea now circles the globe. The spirit of 4-H has ijeen adapted to many different dultures. More than 70 counties iw have youth programs simr to 4-H. Many countries use the same symbol—the green four-leaf clover—to designate their educational youth proam. Foreign visitors come to e United States to study 4-H ihethods. Members of the 4-H Ijeace Corps extend a helping hand to establishing youth pro-

grams in other lands.

;4-H supplements the training youth receive in the home, the church and the school. “. . . the total educational task involved ih inducting youth into responsible adulthood is far toe great fRr any one of our social institutions to undertake effectively.

Cloverdale School News

Eight hundred and four boys and girls poured into the doors of th# Cloverdale Community Schools September 6, two hundred and twenty three of them entering the high school “portals.” “Hi! Good to see you! Where have you been all summer?” echoed through the halls many times the following week. School officially opened with the flag-raising ceremonies and a speech, “The Living Symbol of Our Republic,’’ was given by Jim Coon from the senior Government class. Then after three months, it was back to the books again! With the new year we have a lot of new students and we would like to welcome them all at this time. Cloverdale High has added six new members to their faculty. They are Mrs. Button who teaches French which is the new modern foreign language that has been added to our curriculum; Mrs. Drozda, who is a former student, teaches Jr. High English and has charge of the library which has been completely renovated this year; Mr. Tiller, our new Math teacher; Mr. Hauser, who teaches the new Industrial Arts classes; another former student, Mrs. Sharp, teaches girls phys. ed. and Mrs. Lewis who is teaching Jr. High music and High School Chorus. The curriculum has been enlarged by the addition of these new classes. Vocational Business Education is being taught this year in the Intensive Secretarial Lab. The Jr. High girls are being offered : Home Economics this year, also. Our athletic program was launched September 8 in a cross country meet against Edgewood. We won that meet and continued our winning streak with four more victories and a baseball team record of 6-0. Our cross country team will travel to Brazil on September 22 at 4:30 and Monrovia, September 23 at 4:00 The baseball team plays Eminence, September 26. If you enjoy reading anything from Sports Illustrated to Seventeen, please get in contact with one of the High School Band members as they are now selling magazine subscriptions which is their annual fund-rais-ing project. The Marching Band has participated in two parades this fall, the Fair on the Square and the Monroe County Fall Festival at Ellettsville. It is now preparing for the Indiana State University Homecoming Parade, October 8.

Dear Editor:

I feel the Food Stamp Program needs explaining now before anyone else gets the wrong idea of what it is. It is a Federal Program that enables the County Welfare and Township Poor Relief recipients to stretch the funds already allotted them. A Trustee voucher for groceries can be turned in for Food Stamps which allows the purchases of food in the grocery stores of this county in greater variety and value than the original voucher. Welfare recipients also may purchase

who so ably assisted Wayne. “Bouquets” for the Fair have been nice and deserved. However, one large factor has been overlooked — the parade. The official parade starting point was the Senior High School Building on East Washington Street. From the point of beginning to Locust and Washington Streets were hundreds of parade watchers. Along this span of the parade route there was a constant hum of disappointment! Why? Did you ever watch a small town parade without High School marching bands? No! Me neither! But it can happen and did in our own Greencastle. Sure, the bands marched, but from Locust Street to downtown. The absence of the bands in the parade was greatly noticed by the hundreds of onlookers from the high school building to Locust Street. Many children were asking their parents where the bands were, why they didn’t march? However, it is with a great big thanks to the Shriners and the Oriental Bands

porting the City of Greencastle when they have a parade! When the band marches, they are saying thanks for any and all support they have been given with theirs, and the school's activities. Also, the organizations with stands around the square want support from the people with the products they are selling. These organizations are supposed to be civic minded groups. Perhaps they could better prove their civic mindedness with their support in the parade, with either a marching group or a float to help enhance this project. In summary, I say let’s have another “Fair On The Square,” but please, Chamber members, start about the first of the year with your concrete planning and be sure you have bands from the high schools to march during the full parade route. Thanks for listening. Signed Just a Disappointed One

and county funds.

A substantial c o n t r i bution i comes from private sources—individuals, business and industry, farm and civic organizations j who believe in the worth of the

program.

Much of this money is used for educational tours, trips, conferences, scholarships and similar types of recognition and incentives for members. Some of it is used in training programs for volunteer leaders. Partners with Extension for 4-H are two national organizations, the National 4-H Service Committee and the National 4-H Foyndation.

case worker who determines the eligibility of a low income family to participate in the plan. Our County Trustee's Association voted to participate in the Food Stamp Plan rather than the Surplus Commodity Plan because it is less expensive and easier to operate. The trustees feel it will help relieve the poor relief tax rate. This Plan was presented to the County Council at a regular meeting last spring by Curt Higgins, director of Welfare. I attended and reported this meeting for the Banner. It had the backing of the County Commissioners and at that meeting, the Council passed a resolution approving the plan. We have waited our turn to get the program set up. Statistics show that the independent corner grocer does most of the stamp business. He has served those people and they continue to patronize him. The grocer turn? in the stamps to any bank as if they were money. We hope that improved diets will improve the health of our dependent children, widows, handicapped, and aged who are the largest groups now aided by Welfare and Township Poor Re-
