Projects Related To
Farm Popular With 4-H
Projects related to the (arm
and agri-business are among
the moat popular In 4-H today.
More than one-third of the I
million 4-H members are
enrolled tn the national 4-H
agricultural program, reports
the National 4-H Service Committer
Under the direction of the
Cooperative Extension Service
this modern farm program encompasses
practical segments
of the agricultural economy.
B Is as old as 4-H, and is sponsored
by a pioneer tat improving
farm machinery, International
Harvester Company.
Incentive awards, provided by
the company and offered through
the National 4-H Service Committee,
include four honor
medals per county for boys and
girls who completed the most
noteworthy projects in their
area.
One of these youths will
be selected by the state 4-H
office as the 1970 state award
winner, and will be a delegate
to the National 4-H Congress
in Chicago as a guest of Harvester.
From among all state
winners, six teenagers will be
named to receive a $600 national
scholarship.
Individual projects range
from renting a small plot of
land for growing tomatoes, to
using a stall in a friend's bain
to raise an animal. Crops, forestry,
soil conservation, marketing,
showing animals, demonstrating
modern farm practices,
and record keeping are
just a few of the special interests
of 4-H members.

to properly feed and

A city boy whose pareuts Inherited
a 40 acre farm when
he was 10 yeara old turned out
to be a national 4-H agricultural
program scholarship winner
last year.
Said the 17 year old youth
when he received this national
award: "My fatter knew nothing
about the farm either. However,
with the aid of the county extension
agent, 4-H Club leader
and a lot of otter people, and
by reading everything I could
find, attending meetings, field
days, shows and sales, I learned
enough to accumulate a herd
of 32 registered Angus."
Now he manages the small
farm. "I wish my grandfather
could see the 40 acres now,"
he mused. "Fm sure he'd say:
A Job well done."
The 4-H Dog Protect is popular
with both urban and rural
youth. Whether Fldo has a pedigree

WASHINGTON, D. C. -As we
calibrate Christmas this year
with our friends and especially
those we love, It would be well
for each one of us to pause to
pray for a world of reason and
understanding and wisdom; to
pray that the spirit of Christmas
will live in the hearts of
all mankind throughout the
cooilng year.
There Is a crying need for
hope and confidence in our
weary, war-torn world, the kind
that was personified by the Advent
of Him whose birthday we
celebrate, the kind that can still
be found in Him today.
We should be concerned this
Christmas with those less
fortunate than ourselves—particularly
the poor and needy,
those who are unemployed
and underemployed—through no
fault of their own, the disabledespecially
among our elderly
people, the physically and mentally
handicapped and all of the
others too often forgotten among
the teeming mass. And we
should be mindful this Christmas
of all our servicemen and
women, wherever they may be
stationed — particularly those
held captive by the Communist
North Vietnamese.
Too little attention is given
to the fact that some of our
POW's have been away from

Betty Moseley Weber, HI, exceeding

to the Jan. 8 term of
court.
Charles Williams, charged
with disobeying a stop signal,
was found not guilty.
Cases against Norwell Donald
Wilson, charging him wtth
speeding 120 miles per hour In a
55 mph zone, with failure to
stop for sign, and with careless
and reckless driving, was
continued to Jan. 8.
Wiley Greene Wright was ordered
to pay a $25 fine and court
costs when he was found guilty
of having no valid operator's
license.
their homes and families lor as
long as six years We at U1 do
not know whether some of
them are alive or dead.
The most notable of at least
twelve violations of the Geneva
Convention by Nfiirth Viet Nam
is the one I've already mentioned—no
release through neutral
channels of the names of
those who have been captured.
The few names we do
have came mostly through unofficial
channels or through
radical Internationalist groups.
The Geneva Convention provides
for neutral inspection
of prison camps. North Viet
Nam has not allowed this.
Humane treatment is another
requirement of the Geneva Convention.
Hanoi has ~ot provided
this. Some of our men have
been tortured, others have been
paraded through the streets like
animals, and others have been
forced to sign phony statements
about the U. S.
The North Vietnamese have
also violated the precepts of
International law In regard to:
identification of POW camps,
lack of decent food, little or
no medical care, no religious
services, unreasonable limitations
upon letters home and
packages from home, no
repatriation of sick and wounded
prisoners, and no notification
of deaths.
Clearly, at this particular
season of the year, these valiant
men desperately needour prayers
and our continued all-out
efforts on their behalf.
I know it Is our foremost
prayer and hope that in the year
ahead responsible solutions will
be found, which will free these
men from their savage bondage
and permit them to return home
to their loved ones.
Pending some resolution of
the war—and present prospects
for this at the Paris Peace Talks
do not appear bright—one of the
finest things each of us can do,
In addition to earnest prayer,
Is to write to the officials of
North Viet Nam, expressing
deep concern about these men

The flood of letters
this year has already had some
effect. North Viet Nam haa
recently allowed the POWs to
write home more often than In
all the previous 5 1/2 years.
I, too, have written to the
North Vietnamese premier,
calling upon him and his nation
to give our men decent and
proper treatment.
This and many other problems
hang heavy on our hearts,
but nonetheless, Christmas Is
still a time for happiness and
thanksgiving.
ID addition to our material
well being and the rich moral
and spiritual blessings which
flow from the bringing together
of family and friends, we still
have so many other blessings to
recollect and be grateful for.
And so, Individually, and as a
nation, we should thank God for
these and call upon Him for
more faith and a better understanding
of His purpose In our
lives and In the life of our natlon.
