Most peo- ple who were raised in a rural, farming area know what 4-H is and how it has touched and formed them as individuals. According to the 4-H Ontario website found at http://www.4-hontario.ca/, the original idea began in the United States in 1901as seeds donated to children to grow their own food. The 4-H idea came to Canada in 1913. At that time the organi- zations were called Boys' and Girls' club. The website states, "A Club established in Waterloo County in 1915 by Stanley Knapp, a District Representative for Waterloo County, has been long rec- ognized as the first Club in Ontario from which all of Ontario's 4-H Anniversaries have been dated." 4-H has now spread to 80 countries.

Oral sedation can range from minimal to moderate. For minimal sedation, you take a pill, which is usually taken about an hour before the procedure.

This is the type of anesthesia most commonly associated with sedation dentistry.

In Ontario, 4-H members aged 9-21 and vol- unteer leaders come together to create a 4-H club, where members learn about a selected topic through hands- on activities and mentorship. In the Cloverbud Program, youth aged 6-8 work with vol- unteer leaders on a variety of units, giving them a 4-H expe- rience over the course of a year." In another section of the site it states that if there are six members and two trained and screened 4-H leaders, a club can happen. Every 4-H meeting or event is begun with reciting the 4-H Pledge. I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service, my Health to better living for my club, my commu- nity and my country. To recognize the 100th Anniversary of 4-H in Ontario, the Lucknow 4H Beef Club is giving stickers to the gates people at the Luc - know Fair which will be given to anyone entering that has participated in 4H at some point in their life as a mem- ber or a leader.
