4-H leaders emphasize that a 4-
H project ban be developed for
any subject which interests 10 or
more people.
One of the newest projects
under discussion locally is a
rocket club.
So far, the only thing holding it
back, according to Jay W. Irwin,
associate Lancaster County ag
agent, is the lack of 4-H leaders to
guide the club.
On Wednesday, some persons
from outside the area brought
their experience with space age
technology here to demonstrate
the type of work which could be
done. It involved launching three
small model rockets from the
ground outside the Farm and
Home Center.
Although the U. S. rockets
which have gone to the moon are
most famous and most costly, the
small rockets at the Farm and
Home Center were only a few l
inches in size. Irwin said they can
be purchased for less than two
dollars each and used up to about
200 times.
The rocket is launched by a
small cartridge, ignited by an
electrical charger. Each car
tridge costs only about 60 cents,
he said.
Ignition of the miniature
rockets last only about eight-

Once underway, the project
can become much more complex
than simply launching the
rockets. For instance, there’s
complicated mathematical

butter available to meet domestic
market demand, the Commodity
Credit Corporation has reduced
the sales price of butter for
unrestricted use by two cents per
pound, and in Texas only, by
three cents.
USDA said the new price would
remain effective until the end of
the 90-day freeze period (through
Nov. 14, 1971).
This reduction is in addition to
a two-cent reduction announced
September 21, and represents a
total reduction of four cents a
pound from the sales price prior
to September 21.
The new sales price is the
market price, but not less than
the following minimums: TO- 3 /*
cents per pound--New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
England,-Delaware, Virginia,
, West Vigmia, Maryland and the
District of Columbia; all other
States, 69-% cents per pound. The
3-cent adjustment for Texas
brings that State in line with the
pricing in other States. CCC
currently does not have any
butter for sale in other states
bordering the Atlantic Ocean and
Gulf of Mexico.
