Fix-It Tip
If you hear a banging or
hammering in water pipes
whenever you turn off a fau
cet, don’t ignore it and hope
it will go away. (No problem
involving home maintenance
will ever go away until it is
fixed.) It is caused by excess
vibration, and has been
known to split pipes wide
open. Don’t call the plumber
until you’ve checked the ex
posed lengths of pipe and
their metal straps and
mounting brackets. If a pipe
is loose or sags, firmer sup
port may arrest both vibra
tion and noise.

'Who Really Cares About 4-H?'
America’s 4-H clubs must
move more into the mainstream,
said Dr. Robert E. Wagner,
speaking last week at the twenty
fifth annual meeting of the
National Association of Ex
tension 4-H Agents.
The 4-H programs today face
unprecedented challenges and
opportunities for serving youth,
added the director of the
Cooperative Extension Service at
the University of Maryland.
“But whatever the challenges,
he continued, 4-H’s strong genius
in serving youth is unequalled
anywhere < in the world, and
whatever.the problems, I see 4-H
rising to the occasion.”
‘ Speaking on the theme, “Who
Cares?”, Director Wagner said
“We need a sharp focus in and on

must be people oriented rather
than projected oriented.”

programs and other concerns of
today’s youth. And more em
phasis needs to be placed on
reaching teen-agers and older
youth.
But while these programs are
developing, he cautioned, we
must not abandon the rural and
farm youth that have been the
basis of 4-H for so long.
He pointed up another caution
when he said, “Budget crunches
