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.

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.

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.

Often the test of to die but to live. 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 woods 1}reduction and because of (reemployment. .
