During the fall, we study the changing autumn leaves, animals preparing for winter, the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly, any changes in nature. I felt that since the leaves seem so Lretty this year (my daughters sist that I say this every year) I should allow the children to use the leaves in many of our art projects. Leaf prints are always nice. A, leaf is placed on a piece of paper, then the paper is sprayed with paint, leaving the outline of the leaf. We chose a day that we thought would be nice and calm. It looked so still outside. Mrs. Edith Pillarella, head teacher at Trinity Nursery School, kindly volunteered to help me. We gathered up our equipment, made our way to the side yard and proceeded. All of a sudden, the wind started to blow like the North wind, whipping around paper, leaves, not to mention flying paint. Toddlers scurried here and there, picking up papers, while teachers tried to hold down papers, leaves and spray paint at the same time. Yes, we finished the project; no we didn’t get too painted up; andboy, did we have fun. And despite all the wind, Si ad 2 the prints came out just fine. = -0- BEST WISHES TO Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Brennan who were recently married in The First Pres- byterian Church, Wilkes-Barre. Rev.

Tomascik,. Extension Home Economist-Youth. The Luz- erne County 4-Hers are among nearly 4.5 million young people across the country who will partici- pate in the week-long celebration using the theme “4-H For Youth, For America.” “What we do for our youth today, we do for America tomorrow,”’ said Tomascik in explaining the theme. “Through 4-H, young people can acquire knowledge and develop life skills that enable them to become self-directing, productive and con- tributing members of our society. Specifically, they learn good health habits, develop respect for them- selves and others, explore career and leisure time opportunities share responsibility for preserving the environment, learn how to use tech- nology, and develop leadership and citizenship skills through participa- tion in 4-H. And, that’s something to celebrate.” Tomascik added. ‘It’s for adults, who as volunteer leaders can share their skills and expertise with young people. It’s for families, who can participate in the fun and learning together. It’s for the community, which benefits from the community service carried out by youth. And, it’s for America, which benefits as a OST 5211 new cadre of leaders takes its place in our society.” It is through this network of volunteer leaders, state land-grant universities, state and local govern- - ments, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, that 4-H has been able to stimulate youth to develop life skills. In Luzerne County some 206 adult volunteer leaders work with 2,901 boys and girls from 8 to 19 years ofage in 113 4-H eclubs-groups through the Cooperative Extension Service at Pennsylvania State Uni- versity. Programs are conducted in 3,150 counties nationwide. In addi- tion, some 82 countries around the globe enroll approximately five mil- lion youth in programs similar to 4- H.
