64—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oct. 4. 1975 What (Continued (tom Page 63| methods helped to run meetings smoothly. When you have something of your very own, everyone knows you take extra care of it. Having 13 head of Registered Holstein cattle, I have learned all the responsibility that ac companies them. I believe this is one of the most important things 4-H has offered me. In today’s world, being a responaible person is very essential. I will always look back to my 4-H years and realize that it was those years and 4-H projects that helped me to become responsible. I have had many won derful educational ex periences in my 10 years as a club member. When I was a younger member I learned many exciting things at our local club meetings. As I grew older and became more involved, I was able to travel to many exciting places. My travels in 4-H have taken me to many placed near and far. I attended Club Congress and State Achievement Days JCPenney TRUCKLOAD SALE ON RAIL FENCING.

One of my favorite trips I have taken was to Washington, D.C. to the Northeast States Agribusiness Leadership Conference. I also attended the Pennsylvania Assoc, of Farm Cooperatives at Shippensburg Slate College and the American Institute of Cooperatives at Kansas State University. I also at tended the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto Canada. Being able to travel to these educational programs and meeting 4-H members from across the United States, one cannot help but praise the 4-H clubs. I will always be able to sit back and remember all the wonderful things 4-H has given to me, but most of all the many friends I have gained over the years and the friendships that will always remain with me. The only wish I have is that other younger children have wonderful parents like my own, who have faith in the 4- H program and encourage their children to participate like my parents encouraged me. 4-H has given to me 10 wonderful years. I have only one regret, that being, this is my last year of a program I hope will continue to offer to others what it has given to me. “What 4-H Means to Me” Janet Hutchinson Chester County When I first joined 4-H, I had no idea how much it was going to mean to me, nor what an impact it would have on my life. 4-H has introduced me to people with many different interests and backgrounds and to new situations and ideas that stimulate my imagination, increase my knowledge and develop my skills. All with enough fun and diversion to keep me interested and involved. Throughout my early years, project work was the only phase of 4-H that I knew. Not only does project work teach the individual a great deal about a specific area, but it also developes skills such as careful han dling, patience and per serverence. Project work had been invaluable in making me capable of becoming a good leader. Janet Hutchinson Chester County As I began to be elected to club offices and committees, I became more aware of leadership responisbilities. Serving in offices at the club and county levels taught me that leadership respon sibility is whatever one makes it to be. Participating in demon strations, giving public relations talks and talking at club meetings have given me poise and confidence in speaking to groups of all sizes. 4-H trips have given me tha opportunity to meet others and to have new experiences. When I first met other 4-Hers on a trip, I was shy and self concious. What a long way I have come since then! Now I know that the only way to meet others is to extend friendship and un derstanding. The “Citizenship Short Course” in Washington D.C. is one of the many trips which comes to my mind. I became more aware of my duties as a citizen visited historical monuments and met many people. Whether learning more about areas such as leadership, citizenship, business, con servation, communicating with others is necessary Learning more about others feelings and ex periences increased my dedication to 4-H. In conclusion, 4-H had helped me to mature. 4-H had offered me a variety of experiences and given me the opportunity to know all kinds of people. To me, 4-H is people. Through 4-H, more people can learn to work with others. By caring people can strive to help everyone. I cannot think of better way of growing up then with 4-H. What 4-H Means To Me Karen Hemminger York County As an involved 4-Her for the past nine years, 4-H has meant many things to me. I am Karen Hemminger, a member of Potosi Home Ec. Club and York County Council. Through 4-H I have met many exciting people and made numerous good friends. Friendships can evolve from working hard together as a judging team for the State 4-H Festival or from working hard to plan a new county event. I also found new friends at regional and state events; such as 5- county camp, teen-leader retreats, and Club Congress. A 4-Her can be as involved as he wants to be. For me 4-H requires much hard work but it is well worth the effort. Through 4-H I have gained more confidence in myself. By doing 4-H demonstrations I have learned that the audience is not an enemy , but a friend willing to learn from the demonstration. 4-H has a project for everyone. For me, 4-H has been food, clothing, and other related projects. For those on a farm 4-H is livestock, dairy, poultry, tractor, vegetables, and many, many others. For adults 4-H offers the chance to work with young people and to help them to develop their full potential. 4-H is fun. Along with the projects, there is a multitude of 4-H activities. The one most meaningful to me this summer was a two day campout with my local club. It was quite an experience helping sixteen girls set up tents and cook over a fire with only wet wood. In the county there are Olympics, 1-day camp, roller skating parties. Fun Nights, and many others. Personally, 4-H has helped me decide on my future plans. I have learned through my food projects that I enjoy working with foods and I have decided to study food science. 4-H means different things to different people. But for me, 4-H means making new friends, learning new skills, and helping others. XXX “A journalist is a grum bler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations.
