recognized 45 adult leaders
for their years of service and
Jan Escott, extension agent
with the Expanded Foods
and Nutrition Program,
gave certificates of
recognition to teen leaders.
She also announced a second
annual nutrition awards
recipient, Shawn Bloyer,
who has been a leader for
three years with the 4-H
project at the Boy’s club.
As the main speaker,
Boyd, an 11-year 4-H
member, urged that there be
a greater emphasis on the
teen leader, having them
take a larger role in 4-H. “To
help teens grow, you must
challenge them with more
than a project,” he said.
Boyd suggested that their
role be tied more with the
adult leader to make them
feel like equal partners.
“The world goes forward on
the feet of youth,” he stated.
“We must work with them,
and encourage them to get
the full benefits.”

He added, “Accentuate the
positive; don’t criticize, but
encourage. There are
greater talents which exist
in young people. Give them
the challenge.”
According to Boyd, in
developing youth leaders
must help them build
respect, have pride and
recognize the worthiness of
the individual.
He called competition an
important part of 4-H, ad
ding, “Competition is very,
important to learn, but also
to gain the proper per
spective.”
Recalling his days as a 4-
H’er when he lost money on
his project and placed low m
a class, Boyd said, “You
have to be a good loser.
Losing was a greater thing to
me then winning because I
grew.”
He reminded leaders that
some children respond to
competition but others do
not. He added, “It is easy to
be a winner. The real
challenge is to be a loser,
and to lose without losing
confidence in themselves.”
Boyd told the leaders that
they are making an in
vestment of nearly one half
million dollars in the 4-H
program in the county. He
got his dollar value by
charging them $4.76 an hour
for the hours they put in and
and $.17 a mile for the miles
they drive.
He said a 1974 survey
showed that adult leaders
average over 200 hours per
person and teen leaders over
40 hours. Furthermore
leaders drive over 400 miles
and most leaders contribute
about |5O out of their own
pockets to help with
materials.
“You folks are giving from
your heart,” He noted. “We

salute you for your role and
your investment. It makes 4-
H a real bargain for those
participating.”
Challenging the adult
leaders as well as en
couraging the teen leaders,
Boyd told them three
qualities they should have to
be successful in life. In
tegrity, he said, is the
foundation upon which they
should build. “You spend a
lifetime at it. You know if
you have it or not. Integrity
is the most important quality
a person can have. One thing
you can give and still keep is
your word.”
He urged the leaders to
believe in themselves. “Be
positive, not negative; build
not destroy. Life in America,
under God, is a great op
portunity and a positive
experience,” he stated.
He added, “Tell me what
you believe and I’ll tell you
what you’ll achieve. It’s your
attitude, not your aptitude
which will determine your
altitude.”
Persistence is the third
quality he urged on his
audience. “Don’t let the
valleys and low points get
you down. Don’t quit.”
He urged agri-business
and ag-industries to continue
to support the 4-H program,
pointing out that it is the
largest youth organization in
the nation with 5 million
young people as members.
He added that voluntary
organizations are the
strength and backbone of
America. “You are all un
sung heroes,” he said.
