N She Le kn STE Lae 4-H’ers Multiply Safety Efforts Through Club & Group Action SPECIAL — Spring is here. Millions of young people are out riding bicycles, driving tractors, mowing lawns and being more active in countless ways. All that activity puts them in the way of becoming an accident statistic. But there are nearly 400,000 boys and girls who have a better chance than most to avoid that fate. They are the young people enrolled in the 4-H safety program supervised by the Cooperative Extension Service. Sponsored nationally by General Motors, the program encourages young people to learn basic safety habits and how.to pass their knowledge on to others — their friends, family and community. In many areas throughout the cot intry the 4-H’ers join’ together in county activities to give the safety message an even greater impact. In Weber County, Utah, for instance, the local 4-H clubs got together and pre- sented three puppet shows on pedestrian safety to over 18,000 people. The 4-H’ers and their adult and teen leaders contacted police, city officials, schools and parent-teacher organiza- tions. They report their ef- forts in the county reduced pedestrian accidents 75%. In Will County, Illinois, 4-H’ers came up with the idea of testing non-municipal wa- ter wells for contamination. According to George J. Young, county extension agent, the county health de- partment helped the Coopera- tive Extension Service teach the junior 4-1 leaders to col- lect water samples. The young leaders then demon- strated proper sampling tech- niques to members in their clubs. “This 4-H activity will serve as a base study on well water quality in Will County,” Young explained. 4-H clubs in Caldwell County, Kentucky, concen- trated their efforts: on fire- arms safety. Ken Carpenter, county ex- tension agent, summarized the results by saying: “As with most safety programs, the full results may never be known. However, it is assur- ing to know that these young people can now more safely handle fire-arms and multiply their concern for safety by instructing others. “Those passing the course are now eligible to move on to study more advanced courses in gun handling, marksmanship and to qualify as an instructor themselves,” Carpenter noted. Last year 4-H groups in 31 counties throughout the Unit- ed States earned special $25 cash awards from General Motors for having outstand- ing 4-H safety programs. Cash awards are limited to one county per state and are to be used in furthering safety ef- forts. Hundreds of 4-H clubs also received certificates recognizing their safety pro- gram efforts. In addition to club and group awards four members per county are eligible for gold-plated medals and the top state winner receives a trip to the S1st National 4-H Congress in Chicago, Nov. 26-30. Eight $1,000 scholar- ships also are offered by GM to national winners. The 4-H safety awards pro- gram is arranged ‘and ane nounced by the National 4-H Service Committee, Chicago. For information on the safety program or any of the other local 4-H programs, contact the county extension office.

Also, in unfamiliar spots, inquire whether milk and cream are pasteurized. The tourist's dilemma Although traveler’s diarrhea, sometimes referred to exotic- ally as Montezuma’s Revenge, is not a serious disease, it at- tacks many an American on foreign land. It occurs most often at the beginning of a trip; the victim develops ad- dominal cramps, sometimes with nausea and chills. The disease has been blamed on any number of factors: unac- customed food, drink or cli- dation mainte N: A hbo the Fo FX [Tak IN If we should sell out of your size, we'll give you a “‘raincheck” for future delivery at the advertised price.
