Objectives Qf 4-H Work tint directing club work and 1 co-operating with local sponsoring organizations such as agricultural n seirving es officers a on couf- mitttees, members of 4 clubs are not only learning how to organize their time and materials but are developing foresight, character and sound judgment, all of which is helping to prepare them for future .service and for larger fields of responsibility.- Fortunately, the citizenship training values of 4-H are becom- ing more evident each year, Form er 4-H club members can be found in. all- walks of life 'todhy as sac!: cessful.businessmen,, progressive farmers and capable leaders• in their communities. In spite of this, .however, we should. be .eve; mindful of our resp'onsibilities' in +helping these, 69,000 farm young people to reach their fullest de= velopment as Canadian citizens as they pledge their .,heads, hearts, hands and :health to the service of their clubs; their communities and their country. societies, the provincial' depart- ments - of agriculture are, giving constantstudy to the objectives and true values of 4e1;I. These can be g1ouped and discussed and r two general headings, as follows: 1. To encourage the -use of im- proved farming and homemaking methods. One of the requirements of each 4-H club member is to carry out. a project on the farm or in the hoarse. The purpose of this ar- rangement is to encourage owner- ship, responsibility, partnerships with the parents and the use of proven practices. Forexample ,a boy's interest may be aroused when he learns that through putting his know- ledge of scientific findings to work he can increase the income from his field of .grain, his ',flock of chickens or his ,pen of calves. Also, that through the application of ' fertilizers„ and other 'I;oil=buil'd= ing practices, the productivity of pastures .an'd ' sub-maregincl Iand can 'h"e` raised. Likewise; '""sir' may learn how to beautify a:•room, how to choose fabrics and sew and how to economize in the home through the proper preservation of foods direct from her own 4-H garden. ' . 2. •To provide •a well-balanced training in citizenship. . One of the real needs in agri- culture today is the training of young people . so that they may -better . _serve . agriculture and the nation e. With this in mind the Departments' of Agricul- ture and the Canadian Council on 4-H' Clubs are providing increased opportunities through which rural boys and girls can develop to the utmost their special, talents and abilities,. . This is being achieved in many ways. For example, through par- ticipation -in , well-planned pro- grams, 4�H members are learning the proper manner in which meet- ings should be conducted. Through 1. trakin.g., „-iiresuch.-.th,infgs- as-• }e... bates, discussion periods and de- monstrations, they are learning how to express theinselves ably and well.

Mr. Burke declared that the main rea• son the life insurance industry continued to forge ahead, was be- cause a, 'life insurance policy , func- tions like a good investment.

Moreover it 'does what no other investment -can da,—it creates an immediate estate for the protection of 1•hmL. and, family. Mr. Bourke stressed the recent improvements in medieal science with the ensuing rapid and can- tinuous decline in death, rates. Hepointed out that accidents now account fora substantial propor- tion of death from au causes, especially in the younger - age groups, . and that Sun Life peri- ence shows that approximate one- half of all death claims un.get age thirty are the results .of .accidents, w ile acedents . e now''The, third `dst frequ-nt cause off; death at all ages, following .hrt' disease and cancer.'
