The end of March and the
beginning of spring planting
are at hand. Oh, I’ve bought
my seeds, after carefully
studying the catalogs, but,
somehow I’m not as anxious
to start a big 100 x 100 foot
garden this year. Maybe it ■
the cold and rainy weather
as I write this, or maybe I’ve
lost some youthful en
thusiasm.
Could it be the lack of
enthusiasm? Somehow it is
difficult to see the years
passing and accept what
they do to us. We “know” the
children are almost grown

“know” that we’ve slowed
down a bit and don’t ac
complish as much in a day.
Yet, it is hard to accept our
place in life at this point in
time.
Guess I’ll go outside and
prune some grapes and
blueberries just as a start on
1974’s work.
As new 4-H clubs are

pleting various projects.
They will leam to sew and
cook; they will grow things,
build things and collect
things.
When I distribute flyers to
various schools in the area, I
'realize that many a child will
start In 4-H but never finish
and show their project at
Achievement Day in August.
Of course there are many
reasons for this, but I believe
mostly its lack of support
from the child’s family.
Often, they need en
couragement to weed that
garden, lead that calf or hem
that skirt.

All too soon they are grown

will remember 4-H as a
happy experience.
Recently a lady told me
she observed that when
parents don’t know where
their children are, then, in
that same family, the
children don’t know where
the parents are either.
Plan Snacks
As Part Of
Daily Food Intake
Snacks are often referred
to as the “fourth meal of the
day.” If snacks play an
important part in your
family’s eating habits you’ll
need to plan them as part of
the day’s menu.
