Agricultural Extension Director
Calls For Hore 4-H Leaders
tion is provided through WSU Ex-
tension bulletins, Extension ag-
ents and specialists, adults in tile
community with special skills, and
icader training.
THEIIE IS NO PAY for service
as a w}hmteer 4-H leader, but
the rewards are great, Svinth de-
clared.
Leazlers have a chance to help
boys grow in kn(ywledge and skills,
tO discover and develop their in-
dividual abilities and talents, and
to probe the spectrum of career
possibilities. They also can see
youngsters learn to follow a job
through to completmn, to plan and
carry-out community service pro-
jects, and to grow in understand-
ins of the responsibilities as well
as privileges of citizenship.
THE 4-1t Program, the Agricul-
tural Extension director said, is
centered in the homes and com.
munities of the members. ActivN
ties of 4-Hers extend around the
clock and around the calendar.
They are aimed at fuller devel-
opment of head, heart, hand and

The adoption of a new policy
will take place temporarily to-
day at the Shelton City Library.
Instead of the usual one or two
cent fine per day for each book
kept over the allotted two weeks,
the library patrons will be asked
to keep as many books as they
feel they can for a period of two
months.
The object of the two month
period is to allow redecoration
work to be done on the library.
The extensive remodeling and re-
decorating of the interior of the
structure is scheduled to begin
within a week and it will be nec-
cesaary to vacate as many books
as possible to allow the work to
be completed in the hortest pos-
sible time without closing the li-
brary longer than necessary.
The remodeling plans for the
library include the moving of the
circulation desk, removal of arch-
way and restrooms near the Rail-
road Avenue entrance to the build-
ing and re-arranging the shelves
to allow for better light, more
shelf space and more floor space.

CLUB MEMBERS tackle pro-
gressively intricate phases of each
project carried, Svinth explained.
In a liestock project, a 4-H'er
usually starts with the care of
one aninml and often winds lip
six or eight years later with a
(.'gis Le'cd herd,
In a clothing project, a 4-H'er
may start, out learning to sew
a straight seam blt finish her
4-H years making practically all
her own wardrobe, including tail-
ored wool suits and coats. Simple
recipes in the fooHs project lead
to mastery of food canning and
freezing techniques, and the abil-
ity to plan menus for any occa-
sion and to prepsre and serve a
complete meal.
Whatever their project. 4-H'ers
learn to keep financial records,
obtain financial credit if neces-
sary, give demonstrations m pub-
lie of the improved practices
learned, conduct meetings, work
together on club and community
projects, and plan and carry out
countywide functions such as 4-H
camps and observance of Nation-
al 4-H Week.
Membership in 4-H clubs in-
chides boys and girls aged 10-21.
Enrollment in 1961 includes al-
m'ost 10,000 youth from farm
homes, just over 6,000 from rural
non-farm homes, and just under
4,000 from urban homes.
MANY MORE boys and girls
lmve indicated a desire to join a
4-H club, but have been unable
to find an adult interested enough
to lead a local clu, Svinth said.
The nature of 4-H work, he ex.
plained, nmkes It essential to keep
each group fairly small--net over
15 members. A, small group en.
ables the leader to give individual
attention and assistance to each
4-H'er as needed.
MRS. BEN DRAKE of Mason County was elected district vice
president of the Washington State 4-H at a 4-H leader's council
meeting February 28 in Chehalis. It is the first time a Mason
County residen t has held this position. She represents the coun-
ties of Mason, Pierce, Thurston, Grays Harbor, Lewis, Clark,
Cowlitz, Pacific, Wahkiakum, and Skamania. She automatically
becomes a three year member of the 4-H Fair Board.

reporter's memory one phrase
sticks with him. It was the old-
time Sheltonian speaking to the
newcomer when he said, "If you
don't like our weather here, stay
five minutes." When he began the
phrase huge flakes of snow were
drifting calmly to earth, but by
the time he finished buckets of
rain, propelled by a stiff norther-

Often the test of

U.S. Commerce Department of-
ficials from Washington, D. C.
last Friday visited Shelton to
learn first-hand how Canadian
lumber competition has effeeted
the community.
The visitors were Eugene P.
Foley, deputy assistant secretary
of commerce and administrator of
the business and defense ervices
administration; William B. Milius,
secretary to Foley; and Ernest
Wittenberg, press officer.
Accompanying them were Rob-
err F. Dwyer, Dwyer Lumber and
Plywood Company, Portland, and
Dave James, Simpson Timber Co.
director of public affairs.
In Shelton they held a luncheon
meeting with Bob Keenan and Roy
Dunn, ]bcal businessmen; Charles
Savage, business agent of Local
38, International Woodworkers of
America; Peter Garret(, Merrill
and Ring, Port Angeles, and H. O.
Puhn and H. A. Ahlskog, Simpson.
Dunn and Keenan stressed how
local business is effected quickly
and directly when workers in ba-
sic industries are out of work.
Savage, whose Local 38 is the
largest in the international union,
made a strong prescutation, point-
ing out membership bas suffered
a 30 percent drop since 1959 be-
cause of a drop m lumber Lind

In addition to the stop in Shel-

Olympia and Grays Harbor last
Friday. They v]slLed the Wash-
ington conmnmities at the request
of SenatoP Magnuson.
OI{IGINAI.LY, they planned on-
ly to visit Oregon plants, but
agreed to change their itinerary
to include Washington if Simp-
son eould provide air transporta-
tion fro' the group in its airplane.
Simpson cancelled its regular
F}'iday flight to" company opera-
tions h] California and with James
aboard hmded aL Eugene, Ore., at
7:30 a.m in a snow storm.
From there they came north,
dodging storms, o Olympia and
a meeting with 15 Olympia con],
munity, leaders.
Then the group took off and ANNOUNCING
landed at Shelton airport, which APP
was blanketed wi00h 15 inches of CLIFF
snow. Following a two-hour meet-
ing here, they returned to the air-
AS
port to find that Simpson pilot SALES
Smith couldn't take off with the
group because of the snow. FOR
The group was driven to Olym- STATE
pia, where Dwyer picked them
tip in his own plane and flew them UU
to Grays Harbor, where lumber-
men had been waiting three hours
to talk to them•
The visit was the outgrowth of
a recent meeting in Washington,
D.C. between Senator Magnuson
and eight other western senators
and Secretary of Commerce Luth-
er H. Hedges. At the meeLing the
group stressed the urgency of the
Canadian lumber import problem
and asked Hedges to investigate it
and report to them on what solu-
tion would be acceptable.
