Four-H Clubs
Organizing
For County
"Four-H work means differ
ent things to different people.
Some are concerned only with
the livestock phase and some
with only the clothing, but since
4-H serves all people it must be
a well rounded program that will
fit the interests, wants, and
needs of everyone," according to
A. Paul Jonard, associate exten
sion agent and oxganizer of 4-H
club work here,
In Noble county 4-H means 31
different clubs, some with all
boys, some all girls and some
mixed. Only three of these are
special clubs the Tractor club,
Junior Leadership club and the
Beef club. All of the rest of
them have as many different
projects in the club as the mem
bers and advisors want to have.
Last year there were 230 girls
enrolled in 359 projects and 180
boys enrolled in 288 projects.
There are some 93 different pro
jects that 4-H members can take.
Since they are allowed only 3
projects a year they must choose
•wisely to get the full benefit of
their 4-H work.
The most important person in
a club is the advisor. The advisor
