Correction
In last week's edition of The Citi
zen a typographical error in the cut
line under the Ethel 4-H picture
titled "Achievement" noted incor
rectly the number of projects com
pleted by Julie Terpstra.
Miss Terpstra was in fact recog
nized for her completion of 12 4-H
projects. We apologize for any
embarrassment the mistake may
have caused her.
