Lancaster County alone claims about 2,500 4 I! mem bers. more than any other county in the na tion. accordion to local officials. The functioning of such a large organi zation takes the dedicated support of many public officials and even more fathers and mothers and interested citizens who devote their time and energies to making 4-H meaningful for the thousands of youths in volved. 4-H is big in more than just numbers, how e\ er. Big in Accomplishment It's big in terms of what it attempts and what it accomplishes. It gives youngsters a chance to learn many useful and enjoyable things all the aay from studies of nature to sewing to oroducing dairy and beef animals. It helps bridge the so-called generation gap by bringing the young and old together m a worthwhile relationship. It helps give youngsters and some jldsters. too something constructhe to io. It helps youngsters decide, through ac *ual experience, what they want to do with heir futures Congratulations, Queen Congratulations. Marilyn! We join hundreds of Lancaster Coun +:ans. and many beyond the county who know you. in saying: You earned it. We know many of your friends and admirers who were as proud and happy when you won the state crown in Harns buig as if they'd done it themselves. Their pride and joy is a special compliment to you. Their special interest, and the title itself, is their way of recognizing not only your beauty and charm, but the character and personality that goes with it They know you ha\e the courage to use s’et-backs as challenges and the humility to keep on Harvest and For tarmeis, harvest time is a good and positive time It lepresents the for a vear of planning and work But the: os one paiticular oau about harvest time that -■'ould keep in mind Hanest time is rat time Farmeis who are careless at hanest time proude feed and shelter to winter o\er anothei ciop of rats Hats cause consideiable ciop ioss mrough the lood they consume But the damage rats cause to buildings and feed is piobably a moie impoitant reason for eliminating them Besides the feed loss and pionerty damage is the fact that rats are duty, smelly, obnoxious creatures The farmer who takes pride m his work, who likes a clean and comfortable environment, who strives to cut off all unnecessary losses will take the small amount of time necessary to make sure that harvest time is not a positive time for rats.

It helps develop both good leaders and good followers for the future A Time To Reflect •1 H Week is a time to reflect on these things, to recogni/e vvhnl 4 H is. what it does for our community and our way of life. It is a time to rededicale ourselves to the success of the 4-H concept and program for the coming year. It is a time for present 4 H members to determine if they are contributing enough to the 4-H program or getting enough out of it, and to ask how the m dividaul's participation can be improved. It is a time for young persons not in 4-H to ask: Why not? A program as broad as that of 4-H certainly offers something of benefit and interest to everyone with a con structive attitude and a desire to grow. A Time To Do It is a time for members of the older generation to ask what they can do to as sure the continued success of 4-H. A helping hand to 4-H is a very sound im estment in the fpture. It is a direct in vestment in the success and happiness of the persons who will determine the future. In summary. 4-H is a positu e. construc tne organization. During 4-H Week, we need to recognize this and dedicate our sehes to continuing the good work. doing and enjoying the truly things •‘Copping out” is alien to you.

We join the legions who salute you and wish \ou a happy and successful reign. Rat Control Earnest time should be the time when taimers take extra care to eliminate all rats and. if that isn't feasible, to eliminate most of them so thej're not a major problem through the winter Survival of the rats requires two essen tials. food and shelter, according to the Penn State Extension Sen ice Since man provides both of these, he also can remove them Rats like hiding places close to a supplv of food Large numbers often are found in poultry houses, com cribs and barns They hide in rock walls, piles of dis carded 'umber, boxes and similar waste material Thev particulaily like protection of buildings in winter Penn State recommends tive major steps to pre\ ent a rat infestation They are.

Data is being gathered by corn specialists and growers are urged to consider this informa tion in order to help reduce the infection on the 1971 crop. our own Christian way of life. Yet, there are also religions which do not bring the best from men. Some religions teach men to hate others, sanction the kill* ing of enemies, condone the sac rifice of children and encourage people to live m perpetual ignor ance and superstition. Some re ligions appeal to the very worst that is in human nature and are very destructive to society. One would have to be blind to con tinue to assume that all religions are equally true and valuable. ATTEND THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE SUNDAY
