members each gave a brief talk on
how 4-H had benefited them. They
each spoke on a different aspect of
the program. They were: Char
maine Gray, 4-H in the City;
Wanda Hershey, 4-H in the
Community Club; Joseph Rohrer,
4-H and Agriculture; and Rhonda
Witmer, 4-H and Home
Economics.
Another highlight of the evening
was the memorial presentation of
$lOOO to Deb Martin, the 1983
Outstanding 4-H’er. The presen
tation came from the family of
Elmer Boyd, a 4-H leader for 29
years. The money will be used by
the 4-H organization to purchase
awards each year for the county's
outstanding club members.
Deb, 10-year-old daughter, of
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Martin,
Conestoga Rl, was also featured in
the program when she gave her
speech on “Pennsylvania
Agriculture.”
The talent portion of the
program was given by Beth
Shertzer, who presented a piano
solo.
Leaders of the clubs stood to be
recognized. Some received pins,
others certificates, and all a hearty
warm of thankful applause. Teen
leaders were also recognized. Two
of them, Brenda Aliment and
Joseph Rohrer. received the "I
Dare You" awards for their in
volvement in the program.
Kendy Allen, leader of the
Saddle Cinches Club, was awarded
3x5 American flag for the 4-H
Participation Award, which is
given to the club with the best
record of service. Kendy explained
that her group ndes in a lot of
parades and participates in many
shows where an Amen can flag is
needed.
Christine Erb and her family
were also honored for hosting a
Japanese IF YE representative.

Debbie also hinted she could use
some help making her prom gown.
Debbie is the family member
who owns the cattle: a cow a calf,
a heifer, and two steers, 'they’re
part of her 4-H project.
Her older sister Martha, now an
agriculture student at the
University of Delaware, owns 40
ewes, which also started as a 4-H
project Martha wants to make
them her career.
Sandra chuckles at the Klairs’
habit of naming their farm
animal*, which her family doesn’t
do. But they have 1,000 sheep and
350 head of cattle, so there's a
slight difference in scale.
Like Martha, Sandra hopes for a
career in agriculture. Since she
graduated from high school at the
normal New Zealand age of 16, she
has been working in an office, and
has also been taking courses at a
local community college for a
year. She is aiming for a degree in
horticulture.
Martha and Debbie are showing
Sandra a side of American life she
hadn’t seen before by introducing
her to young men they know and
taking her to dances and parties. If
a suitor tries to overstep his
bounds, the New Zealander
dismisses him as a “cheeky toad.’’
Sandra is a walking treasure
trove of New Zealand expressions
that keep her hosts amused and
confused. For Sandra, almost any
meal can be called “tea.” And tea
at 5 p.m. could be a little snack or
the main meal of the day.
A chocolate chip cookie would be
a biscuit to Sandra and her com
patriots. What we call biscuits, she
calls scones.
Our lemonade is New Zealand’s
squash. What she calls lemonade,
we might call lemon-lime soda.
And so it goes.
Sandra has seen a baseball
game, the Liberty Bell, a
mushroom farm, historic New
Castle and much more. Her final
Delaware hosts, the Momeaus,
Newark, are anxious to show her
anything she might have missed so
far.
Sandra’s overall impression is
that despite a few surface dif
ferences, things are remarkably
the same in the two countries. But
the Klairs, who have really taken
to their new adopted daughter,
don’t just want to accept her word
for it They’re already talking
about visiting her some time after
she returns home in December.
