Good News
About
By Barry Venters, ( H Advisor
Several boys and girls have in
dicated to Mrs. Garner and I that
Ihey are interested in putting on
a demonstartion. I hope that we
will have contestants in every dem
onstration. If you are still unde
cided, how about seeing us and
let us help you get started?
The 4-11 Public Speaking pro
gram is one that should interest
most 4-11'ers, as you certainly
seem able to talk. Now if you will
only learn to talk at the right time
you will surely be a winner.
The purpose of this program is
to help 4-H boys and girls achieve
the following:
1. To develop leadership talents
ind to work toward achieving the
aroad objectives of character and
Effective citizenship.
2. To recognize the necessity of
>btaining all available information
jn a given topic.
3. To encourage the careful or
ganization of the IniterM to be
[WWeMted in i speech.
4. To develop a pleasing per
MMial appearance before an au
dience.
5. To acquire the ability to speak
convincingly in public.
I don't believe that it is neces
sary for me to add to these ob
jectives or to tell you how much
it will mean to you to achieve
them. Those of you who have been
elected to an office In your 4-H
Club or other school or commun
ity organization have already felt
the need of such training.
Both boys and girls participate
in public speaking, and they do
not compete against each other.
The Pure Oil Company donates
the Public Speaking awards on
county, state, and national levels.
The county awards arc two gold
filled medals of honor, one for the
outstanding boy and one for the
outstanding girl. District winners
will receive an expense paid trip
to State 4-H Club Week in Raleigh.
The state awards consist of a 19
jewel wrist watch for the winning
boy and a beautiful set of silver
ware for the winning girl. Two
$400.00 college scholarships and
two all expense trips to the Na
tional 4-H Club Congress in Chi
cago will be awarded on a National
level.
The talks should run between
five and seven minutes. There are
several suggested topics, such as
"How 4-H Work Contributes to
Good Citizenship" or you may
speak on any topic that interests
you.
By participating in the public
speaking program, you will be
taking advantage of many oppor
tunities for personal deveAtfpnieat
which are not found in other pro
grams. Besides gaining experience
as a speaker, you will enjoy the
recreation and fellowship of taking
part in community events.
The 4-H Electric Workshops, held
last Friday and Saturday, were
a huge success. Each 4-H'er built
an electric motor himself, under
the direction of Mr. Edge from
Carolina Power and Light Co., and
Mr. Morton from the CarterA
Cravcn Electric Membership Corp.
It was really amazing? every mo
tor actually worked.
The next workshop will be held
next Friday and Saturday, April
25 and 26, at the same placcs,
same time.

Lejeune Starts
Plan to Foil
Auto Strippers
Camp Lejeune ? Camp Lejeune
becomes the first Marine Corps
Baae to have an auto accessory
identification program when pro
vost marshal personnel start en
graving such things as hubcaps,
fender skirts, radios, mirrors and
fog lights Monday.
The program, recently adopted
by North Carolina, is expected to
cut by 90 per cent the yearly thefts
in auto accessories. Some six
other states have adopted similar
programs and a nationwide sweep
is expected in the near future.
Participation by car owners is
voluntary in the program here.
However, authorities estimate
nearly 100 per cent of the 21,000
vehicle.* registered will have ac
cessories identified. The program
will not only reduce thefts but may
reduce insurance rates in many
cases.
Accessories will be engraved
with small one-quarter to one
eighth inch letters and numbers.
All removable parts can be en
graved in about three minutes. The
system will allow both military
and civilian police to trace stolen
parts.
After the program starts, the
provost marshal's office will make
the protective engravings from 8
a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through
Friday.
Before being adopted, the identi
fication program was studied for
a year. Some good reasons for its
adoption are:
(1) It lakes only three minutes
to strip a car of all four hubcaps;
(2) hubcaps cost form $7 apiece
to $424 a set; (3) estimated losses
| for 1956 in Los Angeles were $250,
000; (4) estimated yearly losses
of accessories here run to $30,000.
