A reminder of the up-coming 4-H events, include the following: a 4-H Tractor Meeting, Monday. February 19. 7:00 p.m. at the Fairgrounds: 4-H Jr. Leader Meeting. Monday, Feb. ruary 19, 7:30 p.m. at the Fairgrounds, and a Cloverdale boy’s 4-H Club meeting, Tuesday, February 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Cloverdale school. The 4-H Tractor Maintenance Program start* Monday night, February 19, at the Fairgrounds. This program takes a new look this \ ear. There will be six different sections throughout the county. The six implement dealers in the county will be helping with the program. These dealers include: Smith Farm Machinery, Cloverdale; Cooper Implement Sales. Russellville; Sherm’s Implement Sales, Greencastle; John Deere Sales & Service, Greencastle; Greencastle Tractor Sales. GreencasUe; Farm Bureau Co-op (Putnam County), Greencastle.

There will be four sections of the Division I project, one Division of II, and one Division of IV. The February 19 meeting is the Organizational meeting to explain how the program will work. We encourage boys and their fathers to come to this meeting to get acquainted with the program and to make enrollment. If a prospective member can not come to this meeting we suggest that you contact the County Extension Office to make enrollment. All ! of the sessions except Cloverdale will start their divided meetings on Tuesday, February 27th. The Cloverdale group wall start on the 28th of February, Wednesday. There will be meetings every other week at these places. The meetings wdll conclude on April 9 and 10, however. there will be a practice session for the Tractor Driving Contest, July. We hope that many boys would enroll in the Tractor Operator's Contest which will be held at the Fair. A Jr. Leader meeting will be held at the same place as the Tractor meeting but will start a little later. The program for the Jr. Leader meeting will include reports on the Purdue Round-up, State Jr. Leader Conference, Ouibachi, and Reccreation. Members that will be helping with the program include— Becky McFarland, Carolyn Torr, Terry Clifford, and Doris Hartman on State Jr. Leader Conference; Sally Sendmeyer. Rhonda Sutherlin, Melvin Grimes and Danny Cottengin on Ftound-up; Tonya Harris on Ouibachi; Mick Clodfelter. Rita Flater, Stev* Albin, Nancy Arnold, Anita Perkins, and Kenny Carrington on Recreation. I would like to remind the older 4-H members that the Jr. Leader enrollment deadline is March 1st and if any prospective Jr. Leader does not have his enrollment in for Jr. Leader he should do so right aw-ay. The Jr. Leader officers and Board of Directors met at the County Extension Office Wednesday, February 14, to plan some of the up-coming events. The discussion included—Completion trip, County Fair. Young America Fair, and the programs of the future meetings. The Board of Directors was added to the Executive Committee of the Jr. Leaders to represent areas of the county that do not have officers in Jr. Leaders. Those that are pres- j ently added are—Carol Robertson, Floyd Township; Nancy Farmer of Washington and Warren Township; Melvin Grimes of Russell Township; Chuck Skelton, Franklin Township; Sally Sendmeyer of Greencastle and Madison Towmship; Janet Houser of Monroe Township: Stephanie Vaughn of Jefferson and Marion Township. Clinton and Cloverdale Townships have not elected their representatives as of yet. The boy’s 4-H Club of Cloverdale will start their meetings on February 20th at the Cloverdale school. We would encourage any boy that is interested in 4-H in the Cloverdale area to attend this meeting to enroll and receive the Completion pins of 1967. Danny Parker will be the leader and we hope that he will have a real strong club this year. Betty Sendmeyer, the Home Economics Agent, will be going to Sullivan this next Monday along with some Adult 4-H Leaders to attend the District

Rotary* Training Conference. This is the second of two meetings that were available to the Putnam County 4-H Leader*. Last Monday night there was a training conference at Rock\ille and the leaders that did not go to the meeting at Rockville can attend the day meeting at Sullivan. We thank the Greencastle Rotary Club for their support of this program. We had a very large turnout at the District Jr. Leader Conference at Reelsville. this past Tuesday evening. There were 190 4-H members and leaders attending the seven county meetings. We thank the Reelsville school and the Reelsville P.T.O. for their cooperation with this meeting. Also, thanks goes to the Putnam ! County Farm Bureau Incorporated for sponsoring the Putnam County delegation. The remainder of the week i* reserved for the sectional. I am sure most people will be involved some way or another with the sectional and highly so. Good luck to all of the teams as a representative of their school and community in the sectional. “How closely have you observed a “praying mantis?" This large, long, slender, and stiff-necked insect is so named because its front legs seem to be held in an attitude of prayer. So convincing is this attitude that one of our so-called common species has been given the scientific name of Mantis religious. They are colored a protective brown or green and are ' difficult to see. However, any insect that ventures too close learns to its dismay that the mantis has both eyes open. Quick as a flash, the spiny grasping legs pounce upon the intruding insect and the meal is quickly devoured. They are highly cannibalistic in nature, and the females are often known to eat the male immediately after mating. In reality this insect, which appears to be praying, is looking for food. For many people, prayer Is simply a form of organized begging. In our prayers, we beg for food, water, health, a better job. popularity, better grades, and a bigger car. It is true w* are to pray for “daily bread," but the emphasis on daily bread in the Lord’s Prayer is quit* minor as compared to the importance and stress on adoration, thanksgiving, and confe*sion. Let us give thanks for Hi* majesty and His grandeur. For the great out-of-doors, for the community in which w’e live. May w’e confess and receive forgiveness. Prayer can be * source of inner springs and inward renewal and strength to those who take time to seek in good spirit."—Devotional card
