Editor and Publisher Office Phone 4—Home Phone R-1757 Thursday. Dec. 19. 1929 Is This Equal Opportunity? In the recent Live Stock Show in Chicago, a prize steer, owned by a 4-H Club member, and shown in open competition against all feeders of the United States, won first prize and sold for $8.25 a pound. Not many persons in Turkey Creek Township would be willing to deny a boy from this locality the chance of winning such a prize. However, no boy from Kosciusko county was entered in this competition. Why? Because there is, no 4-H Club work organized in this township or county. 4-H Club is briefly, a national organization for the purpose of training boys and girls how to use better methods in agriculture and in making a home. 4-H means Head, Heart, Hand and Health. To have 4-H Club work in Turkey Creek Township, a leader is required, one who is scientifically trained in farm work —a vocational teacher, a member of the high school faculty. His duties would be to train and show the boys and girls, best * methods of feeding, planting, etc. Probably the first thing that would happen would be the . importation of fine blooded stock for most farmer’s sons would want blooded calves or hogs. That in itself would be a great thing for this community. The question naturally arises, in some people’s minds, if the boys or girls of this township would use the services of a vocational teacher. They say boys and gipk"are leaving the farms for jme cities. .But, it is highly improbable that we will see the time when there will be no farmers in Turkey Creek township, or in the United States. Some boys and girls will become farmers—train- - ed farmers, not peasants. Let’s give the ones who remain on the farms, in preference to the cities, every opportunity. The better equipped they are, the better is the whole community in health, happiness and material wealth.' Let’s work together so that young people who live in this county may have the same opportunities that children of other counties of this nation enjoy. Let’s talk up that vocational teacher. . o BOY SCOUTS MEET The Boy Scouts met Monday night with fifteen scouts and two visitors present. The boys practiced knot tying and did some other work in tenderfoot class. Next Monday will be devoted to tests and examinations and registration. The patrol leaders will soon be selcted for a three months term. o LOCAL BOY GETS POST BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
