YORK - The national 4-H
program has matured from
the small rural organization
founded many years ago to a
modem voluntary system of
education that offers
training in an almost
unlimited variety of project
areas.
In keeping with the
policies of broadening 4-H
horizons to all who need and
want to learn, York Ex
tension 4-H specialist,
Roxanne Price, laid the
groundwork this Spring for
the county’s first han
dicapped 4-H club.
She had seen the han
dicapped 4-H program
working in other counties,
and Mrs. Price felt there was
a need to make it available
in the York area. Several
active 4-H teens and adults
offered to serve as leaders
for the new club and in
vitations to join went out
among the surrounding
communities.
The response was en
thusiastic, and early in May
the first meeting was held in
the kitchens of the 4-H
Center.
“Tasty Snacks” was the
initial project selected for
the eleven handicapped
members, who represent
areas of the county and city.
Quick, nutritious food
items are prepared and
served at each weekly
meeting. Members all take
part in the mixing and
cooking of the snack-type
foods, with the program

designed to teach each one
how to provide himself with
a fast, easy-to-fix lunch.
During this past week’s
meeting, toasted cheese
sandwiches and a tossed
green salad were on the
menu. Other favorites from
the project recipes include
cookies and brownies,
homemade ice cream, and a
variety of other sandwich
combinations.
Table setting and nutrition
information are also taught
within the course and a
period of recreation is a
regular part of the meetings.
The success of this first
project and the interest
shown by the members and
their families already have
leaders looking ahead to the
next project.
“We’re trying to avoid
strictly a ‘crafts’ type
project,” Roxanne relates,
“because so many other
groups work with the han
dicapped in that field.
Parents of the members say
that this is the first real
opportunity they’ve had to
leam useful, self-help skills
in an organized setting. ’ ’
Age of the members
ranges from nine to 32. Very
affectionate and friendly
with one another and with
their leaders, they joke with
and tease each other as they
work. Older members help
the younger ones, rein
forcing their sense of ac
complishment. Some have
had previous experience
