McKillop IV 4-H Club held its fourth
Meeting on Wednesday, November 1. The
name selected for this club is "Alert 'N
Alive". K
The meeting started with the 4-H pledge.
Members then watched an interesting show
about being prepared for an accident. They
also learned the importance of knowing car-
diopulmonary resuscitation (C.P.R.). It can
save a life. Accidents happen so fast we
should all be prepared.
They then discussed the different types of
insurance, life insurance, crop insurance,
autombile insurance and workers' compen-
sation. They also learned how to keep
records of "Average yield". Insurance is a
risk but very important.
The 4-H Achievement Night will be held in
the Clinton Town Hall on November 22 at
7:30 p.m.
The next meeting for the "Alert 'N Alive"
Club will be on Thursday, November 9 at 7
p.m. at the home of Janneke Murray.
