—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. October 12.1D68 4 From Where We Stand ... We Salute 4-H This is National 4-H Week. "Expand 4- 11" is the focus of this year’s observance with emphasis being placed on reaching more young people through the Head-Heart- Ilunds-Heallh program. Frankly, it amazes us that the local 4-H units would offer to take on an expanded program. We already have 79’dub» with en rollment of 2.013 4-H’ers who are occupied with 2.565 projects in science, agriculture, home economics, personal development, communit.v service, leadership and citizen ship. Our young people have choices in al most any area ot interest they might have. And we have adult leaders 340 of thorn some just newly started in the challenging work of imparting knowledge, skill and experience to youth, to long-time workers like Victor Longenecker. Eliza bethtown R 3 who was honored for 35 years of leadership Monday evening at the 4-H Club Loader’s Banquet held at the Farm and Home Center. Yes. w e already have an expanded 4-H program in Lancaster County. But the representatives at the extension office and the adult leaders say they are willing to do more it they can be of service They en courage more youth 9 to 19 to join 4-H. They urge more men and women to volunteer as 4-H leaders. Very Good. We salute 4-H. We salute the jouth, extension leaders and parents who actn elv participate in 4-H 30 Million Steaks Scare stories ha\e a way of catching people’s attention and spreading with the soeed of a prairie fire. A favorite outdoor activity has been threatened by just such a story. An imaginative writer spotted a report by scientific investigators that charcoal broiled meat contained a cancer-inducing substance. The story soon spread that it was dangerous to health to broil our hamburgers and steaks over a charcoal grill. A lot of people thus crossed outdoor broiling off their list of summer pleasures. But, like most scare stories, this one was grossly exaggerated. A. prominent medical column ist has pointed out that the amount of the cancer-inducing substance in a charcoal broiled steak is so minute that a person would have to eat close to 30 million steaks to consume an ounce of the allegedly dan gerous chemical It's just another example of the kind of scare stories that do irreparable harm to farm products It is well to spread a few grains of salt on the w'orks of consumer oriented people who alarm the public against agriculture rather than inform of the great blessing of an abundant food sup ply.

The key word, of course, is “sincere.” A newspaper carrier in a mideastern city never failed to smile and utter an ob viously sincere ‘thank you!" when he had a chance to deliver the paper in person to the subscriber. When this boy’s father died shortly be fore the youngster finished high school, his subscribers vied to help him to get a job. Today he is well on his way to a successful career, despite lack of a college education. A motorist almost wrecked his car to avoid striking a small dog which ran into the street. A boy of 10 stood frozen with fright as he called out ioyfully to the driver: “Thank you, mister! Thank you for saving my dog!” He made a friend of the driver for life Every day can be Thanksgiving Day if we choose to make it so. And saying “thank you” sincerely is a handy, inexpensive way of making people feel good including the one who says it. Seems a shame we ever miss a chance to do it, doesn’t it? Across The Fence Row The Lord’s Prayer has 5b words; Lin coln’s Gettysburg Address, 266; the Ten Commandments, 293; The Declaration of Independence, 300. But, a recent govern ment order on the price of cabbage contains 26,911 words. “And now, gentlemen,” sa’d a con gressman during a speech in the House, “I want to tax your memory ” “Gad!” muttered a colleague. “Why has no one thought of that before?” Two camels were trudging along, side by side, in a caravan crossing a burning desert. Finally, one camel looked at the other furtively and said: “I don't care what anyone says. I’m thirsty.” AND IF YOU ARE CONCERNED that half the population will be under the age of 25 years in 1970, consider that 30 percent of all people alive will be less than 15 years old in 1986. No matter how tall a boy gets, he can’t step clear across a puddle. Teenagers are people who are not chil dren, and not adults and they prove it in many childish ways American feet hate been growing al most one lull size every generation. Today, the average U. S. male wears size 10. His grandfather most likely wore a size 7. At least, one in every six American women wears a size 9, or larger. It looks like the days of the good nickel candy bar tor a dime are about gone, too. Somerset (Mass.) Spectator Local Weather Forecast (From the U. S.
