Building Men And Women
4-H club work seeks to accomplish it
goals with work through activities whicl
develop the head, heart, hands, an<
health?the four symbols of the 4-H clov
er' emblem. It is almost impossible t<
separate entirely one phase of the worl
so that it will have no bearing on eithe:
of the other parts. So it is with the hu
man body. The body, a complete unit
cannot do its best work unless all fou
phases, as touched by 4-H club work
are fully developed.
To that end 4-H club work is planned
Social as well as economic interests o
the 4-H club members are studied an<
leaflets prepared and made available t
all wishing them. These pamphlets ar
not only interestingly gotten up but offe

of the average boy and girl to be foun<

Would you like to know if you are mar

right person? What is the best age t
marry? Is money important or is lov
enough? These are some of the ques
tions as well as many others you wi]
find answered in the pamphlet, "Ar
You Marriageable?", available to 4-1
boys and girls. This information nc

THE S
Parents Part In 4-H Club Work
I
By Mrs. Johnny Watson, County 4-H Leader
You, as parents, have a very important j
part in the life of your 4-H club boy
or girl and in your community. You can
support this youth activity by believing
in its five objectives and by showing j
confidence and an enthusiastic attitude:
for it. Do you parents realize that the
continued growth of 4-H clubs depends
largely upon you? Your interest and
your help will make your 4-H club boy;
or girl stay a member for years. You can |
help them by guiding their project work,:
* 1 -1 il- - 1- ? 4.U ~,
out qo not ao ine wuiis. iui uicm. iuu,
must always encourage them to keep all
their records and be sure that they do
so. When the parents and the children
are working together so much more is
accomplished. Make them feel that the
4-H interests are an important part of
the family activities. Compliment them
when they do well, and encourage them
when they lose interest. Parents can
lend needed encouragement and help tc
all club members. The big help of parents
to their children in 4-H work lies
in their sympathetic attitude toward
2 their work, their willingness to furnish
the needed ground, equipment, stock,
a and other materials. Parents need to
^ i
" visit projects, to give encouraging words, |
attend club meetings, and go to all
" Achievement Days and Community
? Fairs.
The 4-H club is an organization which
3 trains youth in the art of living. You
i have a very definite part in making this
, * possible for your county, your communi\
ty, and for your boy or girl.

> Admitting An Error
In making his statement to the heads
of the State Highway Patrol as to his
s recent accident, Patrolman Charles D.
Lindsay had the courage and character
* to fully admit his error and his willing"
ness to shoulder the blame for what hap'
pened. Mr. Lindsay's full statement, in
his own words, to Col. Tolar of the State
f Highway Patrol, is carried elsewhere in
i The Herald at the request of Col. Tolar
f as hp wished the oublic to know the facts
in the case.
Mr. Lindsay's many friends including
The Herald regret to lose his services as
an officer of the patrol. He made a miss
take ... he admitted it and that was all
} in his favor. However, as Col. Tolar
* says, it is the responsibility of all patrolmen
to make the highways safer for the
3 traveling public. It is also Col. Tolar's
* responsibility to see that the patrolmen
r out on the State's vast highway system
uphold the laws to the best of their abili'?
ty at all times.

a fine boys and girls in their very fine 4-H
clubs.

"THOU WILT KEEP HIM IN
PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND
IS STAYED ON THEE."
Make this promise from the
Book of Isaiah your own. Clip
it out of this paper and put it before
you where you will start each
day with it. Few there are who
do not need the blessing of that
promise.
What a multitude of ills, bodily,
mmmmmmmmim mental and spiriTB|j
bout because we
i t nervousness:
B ity; call it strain;
sion; call it what you will. But a
large percentage of the troubles
you are carrying about right now
would head toward rapid solution
if you could get the peace of God
in your heart.
It is not an easy thing to fully
yield your will to the Divine will.
It is not as easy as it sounds tp
put your hand in the hand of God
and from the bottom of your
heart express willingness to go
the way He leads.
Yet, for those of us who do that,
there is promised PEACE. Perhaps
in desperation some of us
may in these days be led to try
God's plan for our life; we've tried
everybody else's.
Of the seven material wonders
of the ancient world, only one
remains today, the Pyramids. Everything
else is gone. One hesitates
to name the seven wonder of
the modern world, because as fast
as we build one new machine -or
erect some new material wonder,
someone invents another one to
destroy it. The rate of property
destruction in Europe during the
last war was utterly staggering.
Now we plan more atomic bombs
and the manufacture of the hydrogen
bomb.
All of these material wonders
may pass on, yet we have one link
with the past which goes back
beyond the Pyramids*? GOD'S
WORD. And it is God's Word
which gives us these promises?
promises backed by the living
proof of men and women throughout
centuries.
Upward of three thousand years
ago the prophet Isaiah made the
promise which heads this column.
In another place he wrote, "I the
I Lord thy God will hold thy right
! hand, saying unto thee, Fear not;
| I will help thee ... In quietness
i and confidence shall be your
strensrth . . Thev that wait unnn
the Lord shall renew their
strength."
