4-H’ers Deal With Animals

Area Extension Agent, Youth KEITH A. CARRINGTON Many of the projects which 4H’ers are involved in deal with animals and their growth and training. 4-H animals ranging from horses to dogs to cattle to pigs are continually observed by ( these 4-H’ers ijoting their growth, habits and personalities. There are a number of 4-H’ers in the county who are interested in learning more about the animals and their parts, processes and habits. These 4H’ers are involved in the 4-H veterinary science program and have already discussed specific | areas of the animal’s body. For ihstance the cooling system of a dog involved heavy breathing through the nose which contains a I maze of blood vessels and air passages thereby cooling the I Wood which in turn cools the dog. | This is quite a bit different to the human who perspires, using the I water on the skin to cook the I This is just one concept which | our Kosciusko county 4-H vet I science members are learning I about through their study of “The I Normal animal.” Though our 4-H’ers are just I beginning their study of animals, I some vet science clubs have I taken on major projects as I educational and fun activities. For instance there is a group in Michigan that dissected a cow and reassembled her skeleton or there is an Oklahoma girl that studied animal diseases through the microscope and test tube. The 17 4-H’ers involved in the program this year, are looking

forward to many more activities like visiting a clinic, observing other animals, touring a packing plant and preparing a club exhibit for the county fair. They are all having fun learning more about animals and how they function. For anyone interested next year we hope to offer a similar program. To Lecture At Seminars Father Francis Scheets, OSC, PhD., a member of the Crosier community at Wawasee Preparatory school and area superintendent of Catholic schools in South Bend, has been asked to lecture at two meetings of the National Catholic Educational association in cooperation with the Catholic university of America and the United States Cathloic conference. The NCEA planning institutes are designed to prepare diocesan or religious community staff members to service the specific needs of Catholic educational planning. Father Scheets will conduct a seminar on computerized information systems he has developed over the past three years within the Fort WayneSouth Bend Diocese. This offers a unique approach to church management since it provides a wide range of needed facts for decision making. He has made use of the date in numerous talks and classes in the diocese.
