specific committee responsibili
ties. The purpose for the change is
related to the consolidation of the
standing committees instead of
serving on multiple standing com
mittees, each board member is to
be assigned to one of the four com
mittees which can then split
responsibilities to subcommittees.
In other action, Alan Bair was
recognized for at least a decade of
serving on the society board.
David Morrow was recognized for
his service.
In other awards, Rep. Samuel
Hayes Jr. R-Tyrone, was recog
nized with one of eight 4-H awards
presented nationwide for his 22
years support of 4-H. He was also
recognized for his long-standing
commitment to agriculture.
In accepting the award, Hayes
said that the efforts of the 4-H
program and the College of Agri
cultural Sciences and the Exten
sion Service in support of youth
are good not just for the agricultur
al college and Pennsylvania’s agri
cultural and economic strength,
but good for all of America.

guiding youth into a healthy and
rewarding life through caring, nur
turing, and by helping to set and
reach goals.
“Even if the world was com
pletely charted, there are still
young ‘Magellans’ coming on," he
said, charging the society to aid
and encourage the desire to leant
and explore and seek the
undiscovered.
In effect, Hayes said that not
only does youth have the explored
to rc-explore, but that there will
never be a lack of something to
explore. And he said that with
youth must be encouraged to
“(fight) ignorance and to lead the
world from the darkness (of ignor
ance) into the light of truth and
knowledge and to make this a bet
ter world.
“We must provide the next gen
erations of Magellans with the
greatest opponunitics known to
mankind,” he said.
