Health Important In 4-H Club Work Br CARROLL W ATKINS (Riverview Club) Health Is so Important for a full and happy life that health improvement is a regular part of 4-H Club work. It is not a sep arate project in which a club member enrolls. Every member en rolled in any 4-H Club project should work toward: (1) Improv ing own health; (2) Improving health of family members and making home surroundings heal thy; and (3> Improving commun ity health.

Lavs cannot keep people from overeating or under eating, standing Incorrectly, exer Carroll Watkins - . ? cislng too little or too much, or letting/ teeth become decayed and infpcted. Laws cannot force people to get sufficient sleep and to cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough in public. In all these ways, we can injure or ruin our own health and imperil the health of others. So, while the community looks out for public health, it is important that we all know the ' laws of personal hygiene and ob serve them carefully ourselves. The first step toward self-lm provement in personal hygiene is to have a physical examination by a physician. Such a general physical examination is needed once a year. In addition, the routine of personal hygiene calls for a dental examination at least twice a year. One of the most obvious de mands of the body is for food. But unfortunately the body does not tell us what sort of food shall be eaten; it simply demands enough of any kind to satisfy hunger. Pood is the sole source of energy for all activities of the body and mind. A good diet sup plies not only energy but also all materials needed for growth, re pair, and proper functioning of the body. In brief, the require ments for a complete diet are these: (1) Enougn fuel foods. to give the body the energy it needs; ( 2 ) Enough protein to replace that lost in wear and tear of living activity. (3) Enough minerals to keep the bodily stdfe adequate for good health. (4) Enough .vitamins to prevent disease and to main tain good bodily function. <5> ] Enough roughage to allow the in testines to carry out proper elimi nation. Many false belief^ and fads have I grown up about diA. but sensible people disregard all fads. They select their diet, with a knowledge of what their bodies need. Every one who is interested in personal hygiene soon learns that likes and ! dislikes for this food or that have no place in the lives of those who truly seek good health. And be sides. the liking for any food quickly comes with the eating. The ear is a delicate member of the body and should be properly cared for. If the ear canal becomes filled with wax, a physician should Forestry Is Popular 4-H Project By PAT HENRY (Franklin Sensor Club) Forestry is one of the most pop ular 4-H projects in Macon Coun ty. Approximately one hundred 4-H members are enrolled in the four forestry projects. These four projects are tree identification, forest tree planting, timber stand improvement, and forest protec tion. In the tree identification pro ject the member learns ta identify trees and to know their chief uses. This project requirements are as follows: Collect 20 or more specimens of leaves and mount or print these on paper labeling with the common name and scientific name. Most list chief uses of the wood and name at least 10 trees that provide food for game birds and animals. The seedlings for the forest tree planting project are furnished to 4-H members In Western North Carolina free by Champion Paper clean it. It is dangerous to at tempt to do so at home with a hairpin or a rolled-up end of a towel for the wax may be pushed back in to the. canal and strike against the head of the drum. The best policy is to never put any thing smaller than your elbow in the ear. However, this does not exclude washing the outer ear. The rules of hygiene for safe guarding the eyes are more exten sive than the ears. The eyes are the most important of the sense organs. We normally depend upon them for more than 80^ of our perception of our surroundings. Good seeing requires good light ing. Poor lighting strains and in jures the eyes. Use daylight when possible for reading, writing, and sewing. Any injury to the eyes, any infection, even any redness, should be treated by a physician. The eyes are far too valuable for "home treatment". Exercise is an important part of good hygiene. If exercise is avoided, the body gradually loses its reserve of strength. Do not make work out of exercise; make it a pleasure. Walking, dancing, (tennis, swimming are good exer cises ? and so is sweeping and bed-making. Sleep is more than a rule of good hygiene, it is a necessity, but the right amount of sleep is a mat ter of hygiene. Some people need more sleep than others but, as a rule, eight to 10 hours each night might suit most. For mental health, in the home and in all situations of life, every one must- give as well as take. Each must be considerate of others as well as of himself. No one can do it for you. Keeping healthy and happy is a day by day privilege and challenge. When you pledge "your health to better liv ing" and put these words into practice, you are really "making the best better".

Application blanks may be obtained through the county farm agent's office. The trees are set during the winter months in rows eight feet apart and eight feet in the row. This year Macon County 4-H'ers were third In Western North Carolina in the number of tree seedlings ordered. In the timber stand improve ment project the club member improves an existing stand of timber. This may be either pine or hardwood or a mixed stand.

The member taking this project studies the county fire control measures, visits fire towers with fire ward ens. and also help* to stop wood land grazing. The county winner in the for estry project is selected as a dele gate to the state forestry camp at Camp Millstone. I was lucky enough to win this trip and can say it is a trip well worth working to win. In addition to this trip there are even bigger prizes on a district and state level that are worth striving for.
