girl. Nevertheless she placed
second as an individual. Her
goal as a 4-H leader for next
year is to have a county ar
uheiy LccUii to cumyclc u. tlic
state contest.
She became interested in
the sport at Camp Swatara
and began participating in
archery intramurals in the
eighth grade “as a causal
pastime.” In her junior and
senior years Deb took ar
chery in physical education
classes and in her freshman
year -at Millersville she
readily got involved. She is
now a member of the ar
chery team there.
Deb has also served as co
leader of the wildlife project
and the first year helped
organize an overnight camp
ing tnp for six children. The
project grew, however, and
this year Deborah organized
a two-night camping trip for
27 children, six adults and
three teen leaders. Part of
the project included
orienteering, scavenger
hunts and other activities to
familiarize the youngsters
with wildlife and conserva
tion.
Deb has been a teen leader
in the Mountville Club for
five years, and in her very
first year she was named the
outstanding teen leader in
the county.
Deborah’s enthusiasm for
4-H is boundless. “There are
lots of ways that 4-H is
beneficial. On the project
level kids leam new things
and how to do them better.
There are new projects
which teach them new ex
periences. On the deeper
level, the kids develop their
personality and while 4-H is
not religion-based, it does
teach morals. There is no
swearing and no cheating. It

instills values that I feel are
good.”
Admitting that she
benefits from the com
petition found in 4-H, Deb
says striving for a blue
ribbon can bring positive
results. “It really inspired
me. My sewing improved to
get a blue ribbon. Even'a
white ribbon can help a kid if
it is handled right. To me
competition is valuable. It
gave me the incentive to do
my best - it egged me on,”
she states.
A strong believer in the
value of staying with 4-H,
Deborah states, “It’s better
if you grow up with it. It is
beneficial to the people who
stick with it. 4-H was my
only real activity outside of
school and I put all I had into
it. .1 realized it was a com
mitment.”
With a chuckle, Deb says
that perhaps her interest in
4-H is hereditary since her
mother is organizational
leader for the club. The
Enders have been involved
with the club for 13 years.
Deborah’s 4-H experiences
have helped her travel far
and wide - to Wisconsin as
part of an exchange
program and many times to
Penn State first as a
delegate to Leadership
Congress, then as a street
camper and then as a street
camp adviser.
A 1979 graduate of
Hempfield High School, Deb
is also active at the Mount
ville Church of the Brethren.
Although she must close
out her career as a 4-H
member, Deborah Enders

Top U.S. officials
told of need
for mushroom quotas
WASHINGTON, D.C. - As
the President’s impending
decision on restricting
mushroom imports ap
proaches the October 14
deadline, the Pennsylvania
Food Processors
Association, with the help of
State Auditor General A 1
Benedict, conducted a
meeting in Washington D.C.
with Lynn Daft, President
Carter’s Associate Director
of Agriculture and Rural
Development, Eric Vaughn,
Vice President Mondale’s
Issue Staff and William
Bohem, Agriculture Advisor
to Charles Schultz.
The meeting was held to
discuss the problem -of
mushroom imports and the
immediate need for the five
year import quota recom
mended by the International
Trade Commission.
The need for this specific
meeting was necessitated
since the recommendation
from the International Trade
Commission will go directly
to President Carter’s staff
who in turn will advise the
President as to the decision
he will make on the In-
skills and develop the
positive attitudes which she
learned through 4-H.
ternational Trade Com
mission’s recommendation.
According' to Rocco V.
Pugliese, executive director
of the Pennsylvania Food
Processors Association, he
felt that the meeting was
needed due to the complexify
of the problem and the
strong desire by the industry
to once again become a force
in the state’s economic
community.
Also, Pugliese said he was
heartened with the positive
concern displayed by
Benedict, the State’s leading
Democrat, in not only
helping to arrange the
meeting, but also in insuring
that the Carter Ad
ministration be made well
aware of the plight of the
mushroom industry.
As a result, the meeting
accomplished our main
objective and that is, in
meeting with those who have
a direct access to the
President, so that a careful
evaluation be made on the
International Trade Com
mission’s recommendation
and that relief can be suc
cessfully attained for the
industry.
