When we Meet-Wed the idea of a

this afternoon, wo decided that it
would be an interesting project.
7 clhlublls weeciouulldd beexcahawngaye tidneas'w, bninchd
those who do not belong do such
clubs could learn of the functions
of 4-fl Work.
I think 4.H clubs are most in-
teresting, You not only learn how
to make things or cook • at the
project may be, Kit Yell. get to
know other young people of your
oWn age and get their ideas, and
viewpoints. •
I personally thilik that 4.fl clubs
could be stronger and .• have, a
larger attendance if people only
realized hoW interesting and .pro-
fitable the work really is.Sortie
think that It is. just wasted time
and this is •4 &illy idea. Others be-
lieve that everything that is learn-
ed through 4-1/ work is taught• in
sehools,. but this I do net believe
to be true. t e
All chib members shpuld try to
interest their 'friends in 4-H work.'
It is hoped that this could be
done through a "column "in the

bers for 4-H•• members and other
young people. Contributions to the.
