C2—Lancaster Fannins, Saturday, June 16,1984 WASHINGTON, D.C. - Streamlined management by the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made more than $4 million available for agricultural research projects, Assistant Secretary for Science and Education Orville G. Bentley announced today. “By reducing administrative management costs at the Agricultural Research Service’s headquarters in Washington, we have been able to reinvest this money directly in high priority research projects that will benefit American farmers, ranchers and consumers,” Bentley said. Bentley said the money is ear marked for research on soil and water conservation, crop and animal productivity, post-harvest technology and human nutrition. Within the next few days, 4-H dog obedience course offered NORRISTOWN, Pa. - A 10- session 4-H dog obedience course will be offered for youth ages 10-18 at the Montgomery County 4-H Center, Snyder Road, Lansdale, on Mondays from 7-8 p.m., starting June 18 through August 13th, and concluding with a show and “graduation” at the Montgomery County 4-H Fair, August 17th. The course is designed to teach youth to train their canine partner basic on-leash control, comparable to the sub-novice level as described in the AKC Obedience Rule Book. The program is also designed to touch on basic dog care and showmanship. Course participants will receive 4-H membership cards and will be eligible to participate in all other 4- H activities. Upon successful completion of the course, members will receive a 4-H Achievement Certificate and recognition. The instructor for this special 4- H course will be Ms. Ruth Lerda, who has 10 years of teaching ex perience in the field of dog obedience and care. A previous 4-H instructor, she has helped to ad vance many handlers and her training of dogs has provided for numerous Advanced Obedience Titles. Lerda will also be teaching an adult handler course at the same location. Registration is limited to 15 persons because individual at tention is given to participants. Dogs may be either pure-bred or mutt and must be at least 3 months old. Participants should bring their dogs to the first session. A fifteen-dollar fee will be charged for the 4-H course. Ad vance registration is requested, so call 4-H agent Nancy Kadwill, at 277-0574 from (8:30a.m.-4;00p.m.) or send your name, address, age, and regristation fee (payable to “Montgomery County 4-H Development Fund”) to the 4-H Office, 400 Markley Street, Norristown, Pennsylvania 19401. The 4-H Center is located on Snyder Road off Route 363 between Allentown Road and Sumneytown Pike near Lansdale.
