Delaware 4-H'ers celebrate summer's end
NEWARK, Del. For many
Newark area children, the best
week of summer came at the very
end. Recently, the University of
Delaware Cooperative Extension
Service held its second annual 4-H
day camp. About 160 lively
youngsters populated the college of
agricultural sciences’ classrooms,
laboratories and computer room,
spilling over onto the farm and
nearby university pool.
Extension 4-H agent Mark
Manno organized the camp to meet
three needs. First and foremost,
the camp'was a community ser
vice project. Manno wanted to
provide high quality, low cost
children s programming during a
week when many children would
be at loose ends because school
hadn’t yet resumed and most other
camps and summer schools would
have ended the previous week.
Second, Manno wanted to
provide a leadership opportunity
for older 4-H members. These
teens played a vital role in camp
operations. They organized games,
led songs, and taught crafts, and
classes in computer science. They
even computerized each camper’s
individual daily schedule.
Manno also wanted to recruit

new 4-H members and volunteers.
Thirty youngsters who were first
introduced to 4-H at last year’s day
camp went on to join 4-H clubs in
the fall. This year Manno expects
to see that number double.
To make sure there will be
enough volunteer leaders to ac
commodate the newcomers, this
year he encouraged parents to
become involved in 4-H camp.
Some of the parents who shared
their time and expertise at camp
have since been asked to attend the
state’s 4-H leader training forum in
Frankford Sept. 8 and 9, sponsored
by R.J. Reynolds Industries and
Delmarva Power and Light Co.
After that, they’ll qualify as full
fledged 4-H leaders.
Parents and older 4-H’ers were
not the only project leaders at
camp. Many members of the
university faculty and staff shared
expertise in their specialty areas.
For instance, extension equine
specialist Dr. C.M. Reitnour
taught a very popular course in
horsemanship. Dr. Paul Sam
melwitz, also of the animal science
faculty, dissected a chicken and
rat for the veterinary interest
group. Dr. Norman Collins,

Although a great deal of learning
took place at the 4-H day camp, the
emphasis was on fun. Kids went
home with tie-dyed T-shirts,
handmade kites, and wet bathing
suits from a do-it-yourself water
slide. They chose their own ac
tivities, so everything they did,
from entomology to archery, was
fun. And who knows how many
future chefs, engineers,
photographers and Olympic
horseback riders will say they

Hygrade recalls hot dogs
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Hygrade Food
Products Corp.,
Philadelphia, is
voluntarily recalling
certain one-pound
packages of hotdogs and
beef frankfurters
marketed in Con
necticut, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New
Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island following
two consumer reports
and U.S. Department of
Agriculture findings of
metal in the product.
“Anyone who bought
one-pound packages of
‘Hygrade Beef
Frankfurters’ or
‘Hygrade Hotdogs’ with
the May 14, June 24,
July 14 or Aug. 22 ‘sell
by’ dates and the ‘Est.
12PA’ mark should
return the packages to
the store where they
bought them,’’ said
Donald L. Houston,
administrator of
USDA’s Food Safety
and Inspection Service.
Approximately
353,000 pounds of the
suspect product were
processed at the
Hygrade plant and
distributed to retail
channels. Houston said
no product-related
illnesses or injuries
have been reported.
“Based on that in
formation we collected
146 samples covering 19
‘sell by’ dates, and
found wire-like
fragments in three
samples from the May
14 ‘sell by’ date and one
from the Aug. 22 date,”
he said. The fragments
were up to 4 -Mi
millimeters about
3/16 of an inch long.
Houston said the
origin of the fragments
has not been deter
mined. However, the
plant took action to
assure current
production is safe, he
said.
“The firm is
cooperating fully,”
Houston said. “They are
working with USDA
continuing to seek the
problem’s source, and
USDA is intensifying
sampling of current
production.”
