technology at Shelbyville,
Term., Vocational Technical
School. He plans a career as
a mechanic, possibly in auto
racing.
The Allegheny County
youth purchased the 1965
auto for $l,OOO in the fall of
1977. The vehicle had a
special racing engine and
drive train already in it, but
the car has been severely
abused, he said.
“As I worked on it, I made
special modifications so I
could re-do it for street use
at the end of the racing
season,” he said. The 4-H’er
worked throughout last
Winter to take the car apart.
He sanded all the parts,
cleaned them up, repainted
each' part using rustproof
paint on body parts, and put
it all back together again. He
then installed roll bars inside
the shell and re-installed the
seats and mechanical
systems.
“This was a tremendous
challenge for me and when
the motor turned over, the
feeling of excitement
seemed to be impossible.”
The youth learned how to
properly prime and paint the
body. He has raced the car a
few times and said he plans
to put in a different engine
and sell his racing engine.
The nine-year 4-H’er
earlier had made a go-cart,
using a motorcycle engine.

higher producing animals,”
says Welsh, a recent high
school graduate who is
currently working full time
on his father’s dairy farm. “I
have learned that it costs
just as much to raise a poor
herd replacement as it does
to raise a good one,” he said.
In his own herd, the young
winner has 14 Holsteins, four
Brown Swiss and two Ayr
shires. He has been ex
perimenting with, calf hut
ches, a relatively new idea
which he says has proved
very worthwhile in his own
operation. He started out by
building two hutches and
now has 16.'
Welsh has prepared a 4-H
demonstration on the use of
hutches, which he has given
to many clubs both within
and ouiside of York County.
With the demonstration he
won an award two years ago.
He plans to go to college
and major in animal science
before settling down with his
own fanning operation.
