COWTOWN, Pa. - The
“kick off” for the 1977
Cowtown Rodeo season
began last Saturday, with a
party for the press and the
officials of the R. J.
Reynolds Tobacco Co.,
sponsors of the Winston
Rodeo Awards.
The rodeo began at 7:30
p.m. under clear skies, with
a crowd of 2500 taking in all
the action.

back, she also recalled that
they learned to pack a
suitcase at the same time
when all the different sizes of
clothing were in the room.
“You’d be surprised at
how many ways there are to
pack a suitcase,” she said.
Another benefit reaped
through the program, ac
cording to Mrs. Ebright, is
that the hand work helps to
develop their motor skills.
“I teach shop in this
classroom,” she pointed out.
“I. have to because
sometimes their motor skills
aren!t_developed enough to
handle tools. So, we prepare
go into the shop
class.” Projects like the
handyman crafts will b£ a
boon in this area.
But, probably the most
important thing about the 4-
H club is that it gives the
members satisfaction, and
pride in their work, along
with a gift that they can give
to others or keep for
themselves.
Bamby Garloff, Lebanon
R 5, a 15-year-old Cedar
Crest Falcon dub member,
who was working on her
third project the day
Lancaster Farming
visited, said that she was
going to keep the soda straw
belt she was making.
“I was going to give it
away,” she said with a big
grin, “but my family told me
to keep it for myself this
time.” According to her, her
two other projects had been
gifts.
For Dr. Marcia Beppler
and Frank Bortz, state 4-H
specialist who originated the
idea to modify the dubs for
the handicapped child,

Woodstown, N. J. Kaye along
with his brothers, Sand and
Butch, are among the top 15
professional rodeo cowboys
in the United States.
In Saddle Bronc riding
Kaye marked a 65 for $111.72
and in the Bare Back event a
70 for $150.92. He also placed
third in the bull riding for
another $122.50.
Abraham Morris, also of
Woodstown, marked a 71 in
faces of these 4-H’ers is the
biggest reward they can get.
“We had had requests to
have clubs for slow lear
ners,” Dr. Beppler
remarked, “and we realized
that the materials and the
“learn by doing” concept
was perfect for handicapped
boys and girls, so we decided
to give it a try.”
So, about a year and a half
ago, these two individuals
along with Melanie Milligan,
former assistant to the state
office, started work on the
project which included a
guide to help adults un
derstand and feel com
fortable with these special
students.
The guide included
material on the
similarities and differences
between special children and
other boys and girls, and
stages of development, as
well as suggested learning
experiences for the leaders
to try. For instance, they
simulated blindness by
putting blindfolds over their
eyes, and then tried to do a
skill. Exercises such as this
were designed to give the
new leaders a real “feel"
for the students they were
going to be working with.
And, so far, the program
has been a big success.
“At first, the boys thought
that they didn’t want to take
part in what might be
‘sissy’,” said Sally Vraneck,
team teacher with Mrs.
Ebright. “But, now, they
know when it’s time for 4-H
and they get really anxious.”
Various members of the
club varified her statement
when asked what they think
of 4-H,
“I love it,” one announced
with glee. “I can’t hardly
wait,” added another.
