Chester Co. honors 4-H dairy club members
ATGLEN - Chester County 4-H
Dairy Clubs held their annual
awards banquet on Saturday, Nov.
17, at the West Fallowfield
Christian School near Atglen.
After a fine dinner was served,
Susan Hostetter delivered some
enthusiastic comments about her
efforts in milk and dairy products
promotion. Wayne Reisler, of
Oxford, the evening’s emcee, then
recognized the time and effort that
the dairy club leaders give every
year to see the 4-H dairy programs
succeed. Reisler also recognized
the many sponsors who donated
their time, facilities and financial
support to help the 4-H Dairy
program in the county.
Chester County dairy agent,
David Swartz, stressed that a
person’s 4-H dairy experience
should include much more than
showing and fitting skills. Swartz
challenged each club to have in
teresting educational meetings to
increase each member’s
knowledge of dairy husbandry and
production. Swartz commended
the leaders for strong, active in
volvement with their clubs and
said he was pleased with the
overall vitality of the Chester
County program.
One indication of a strong county
program Swartz said, is the out
standing job the dairy judging
team did this past year. The team
placed third at 4-H State Days, and
second at the All-American Dairy
Judging Forum. Helen McCahon,
of Downingtown, a member of the
Chester County team, excelled at
state competition and ac
companied the Pennsylvania team

Children need to leam te jive
as well as receive gifts
MEDIA Boys and girls enjoy
holidays, birthdays and other gift
occasions. From an early age they
are active gift receivers, enjoying
the anticipation as well as the gifts
themselves. They enjoy being
asked to specify particular items
they’d like and to make Christmas
lists and birthday lists.
However, children need to ex
perience gift giving too, says ex
tension home economist Greta C.
Vairo. Even preschoolers can
participate in planning, making
and shopping for gifts for family
and friends. They need to leam
why gifts are given.
Well-planned gift giving can be
an enjoyable learning experience
County Dairy Agent, David
Swartz, thanked the Oxford and
Tri-Community Dairy Clubs for
arranging such a fine annual
awards banquet, and encouraged
all 4-H members to continue their
active participation in their
respective dairy clubs.

for parents and children. Planning
is the key. You need time if you
want to include children in the
process. A last minute rush to the
stores to purchase a list of items
won’t do the trick.
The children can be involved in
planning what would be just the
right present for grandmother.
They enjoy helping dad decide
what to give mother, especially
when they get to go on a shopping
trip with him for the special gift.
Older children can d<t." .their
shopping in a semi-supervised
way. One possibility is a family
outing that includes lunch, or a
snack in a restaurant. After eating,
the family can break into groups to
shop for each other. These groups
can be re-formed until each child
has shopped for parents, brothers
and sisters.
Wrapping gifts can be fun too,
with “secret” sessions going on in
different corners of the home as
surprises are readied by children
who are givers as well as
receivers.
