stricter project guidelines used
here also have advantages.
“Having a set project makes sure
you know how to sew a straight
line or set in sleeves or put in a
zipper before you go to more
difficult projects It helps you
learn what you need to know. By
the time you get to the free lance
sewing project you can do what
you want, and you have the skills
to do it.”
Mrs. Moll added, “Having
more guidelines for projects is
probably especially helpful when
working with new clubs.” She
helps with the 4-H club at home
and has four 4-H children, and
one who is still too young to join 4-
H She added, “The more open
concept of projects has just come
about in the last few years.”
Clothing projects in Michigan
are referred to as “personal
appearance projects,” and Josie
is a member of a state committee
which helped to establish “values
and goals” for the project.
Construction is no longer the
most important item in judging
clothing; the emphasis now is on
personal appearance.
Josie, 16, has been a 4-H’er for
five years, and is a member of
the Farmers and Belles 4-H
Community Club She has had
sewing, cooking, gardening and
teen leadership projects Her
father farms about 200 acres, and
they will be raising steers in the
fall. She is a member of the 4-H
council and the Service Club,
which earns money for county
wide improvement projects.
She is also a member of the
recreation team which assists
local clubs and the “awareness”
team, whose job it is “to promote
4-H work.”
Kathy is not a farm girl, but
has been a member of the Sand
Creek Bobcats community club
for eight years. She is currently

photography projects. She’s a
member of the Servicer Club, and
since graduation is working in a
local bank.
Another difference m project
work there is that while the club
meets year round, most project
work is done in the winter, and
their equivalent of round-up is
held in late March or early April.
For clothing projects, there are
district style shows for girls
under 14 and a county-wide
evaluation for those over 14.
All 4-H projects can be

exhibited at the county fair in
August, which is round-up for
animal projects. In the case of
clothing, suggestions made by
the judges can be heeded and
clothing faults corrected before
they are displayed at the fair.
The differences between the
Lancaster and Michigan 4-H’ers
do not appear to be great. One
small problem is a “slight
language barrier.” The Lan
caster Countians claim their
guests have a Michigan accent,
but the Michigan 4-H’ers couldn’t
quite get used to those Penn
sylvania Dutch accents either.
And it was a new experience for
most to have red beet eggs,
shoo fly pie and sugared iced tea!
Basically, they agreed that the
food was not too different.
Many friendships have been
continued from Lancaster
County’s visit to the three
Michigan counties last summer.
Nancy, who will be a Penn State
freshman in the fall, had lived
with Josie’s family last year.
They had already planned last
summer some of the things they
would do when Josie got here.
And in the spring they met in
Gettysburg when Josie traveled
there with her high school class.
Mrs. Moll, whose daughter
Roxanne is along on the trip,
said, “We thoroughly enjoyed the
two 4-H’ers who stayed with us
last year, and we kept talking
about those two kids from Penn
sylvania all winter. So when they

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MILK
YOUR COWS CAN REALLY GIVE?
A cow is a factory. She eats grass, hay, silage,
grain and Wayne Feeds. She makes milk. Each
cow-factory has a certain bred-in capacity. When
Bossy’s assembly line isn't running at full ca
pacity, she isn’t making as much money for you
as she should. ■ The way to find out if she's
really running at full capacity is to put more
feed in and see if you get more milk out. FEED
HER ACCORDING TO WHAT SHE COULD GIVE
TOMORROW, instead of what she gave yester
day. ■ Wayne can show you how to balance these
larger feed intakes so that your cows can handle
them. You feed the rumen bacteria too, so they
can work harder and digest more roughage. ■ See
us now for the Wayne Program that will work for
you . . . choose from our quality Wayne Feeds
. . . Wayne supplements and complete feeds to
meet your needs ... do it today!

agreed. We are really enjoying it.
It’s a new experience for us -
we’ve never chaperoned.”
Nancy said her two guests fit
into the family very well. “Both
the girls have two girls and two
boys in their families and so do
we. It’s the kind of family
situation we’re all used to.”
The exchange “does a lot of
good,” according to Mr. Moll. “It
gives you an opportunity to see
things you’ve never seen before,
like tobacco growing. You also
learn that people are different
and have different expressions.”
Such exchanges also make you
“more familiar with your own
area,” he said. “What is of in
terest to other people may be
something that you otherwise
wouldn’t look at.”
The 4-H’ers arrived last Sun
day afternoon and left for
Michigan this morning. Their
only side trip was a visit to the
Gettysburg Battlefield on the
way here.
While in the county, they took a
tour with their hosts on Monday
and visited the Wax Musuem and
Elmer D. Lapp’s farm at RDI,
Kmzers. They also enjoyed a
county council-sponsored square
dance at the Charles Myers Black
and White Barn, and a farewell
picnic at Mike Peifer’s farm.
They go home with a better
understanding of Lancaster
County, and a much deeper
awareness that rural people
everywhere are basically alike.
