“You’d scarcely expect one / of my age to speak in public on a stage,” recited a 7-year old school boy. “Don’t view me with a critic’s eye. but pass my imperfections by... tall oaks from little acorns grow. These thoughts inspire my youthful mind to be the greatest of mankind....” This lad was not a 4-H’er, but he could have been. He lived in New Ipswich, New Hampshire in 1791. Fifty years before a poet had written “Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.” Contact Lenses Being Developed For Children New York (NAPS)-Would you put contact lenses on your year-old child? Probably not, but science is blazing a trail of new vision potential for very young children with severe sight problems. In Japan recently, contact lenses were prescribed to 9 month old post-surgery catar act victims. Additionally, tod dlers afflicted with strabismus (crossed-eyes) were either cor rected or their condition ar rested with the lenses. Youngsters in this country, as early as three years old, are fitted with them when the need is great, and results are often dramatic. According to Barnes-Hind Ophthalmic Products, makers of contact lens solutions and accessories, it is from stick re search that eye specialists fire learning more and more-about the possibilities of the tiny vision aids for young people. Today’s contact lenses are about $ inch in diameter, pa per thin and made of plastic. Worn by millions of Americans, the lenses float on the natural tear layer of the cornea, the part of the eye out of which we see. Other ehildren’svision prob lems which have been treated with contacts are progressive myopia (near-sightedness); *wne-eye” vision in which a muscle is deficient; and heav ily scarred eyes. Most of these conditions cannot be helped with conventional eyeglasses: Thirty percent of all ele mentary and pre-school chil dren need vision care. Over a million among them suffer vi sion problems which hamper both learning and growing up. Ay research continues, more and more of these youngsters Witt have new lives opened up to them through contact lenses, (Of vision. . SUSTEK ON INTREPID Electronics Technician Third Class Tommy C. Sustek, son of Today’s 4-H youngsters ex emplify those often quoted lines, as did the first Head Heart-Hands-Health youth of the early 1900’s. Boys and girls work on projects that frequently shape their lives and future careers. Millions of 4-H alum ni say early ,4-H training was a big step toward their suc cess. “Learning-by-doing’^ has always been the 4-H way. Showing and sharing new knowledge gained and skills learned is part of the 4-H pattern. The steps to growth are unfaltering. A pre-teen girl enrolled in a clothing program starts out by making a simple item and progresses according to her ability. By the time she is in high school, she makes most of her own clothes. As a teen 4-H leader she teaches young er members how to sew. Pimiento Chicken and Rice is a colorful dish featuring big pieces of pimiento, mushrooms, and £reen peas, their flavors blending with the chicken and rice to make tempting eating.

Like the New England boy and the poet, 4-H youths find plenty of inspiration for mind-stretching and using their hands to master skills. Projects are designed to arouse their curiosity and raise questions. The more they learn, the more compe tent they become to experi ment, explore and find the answers, believes the Cooper ative Extension Service which supervises 4-H. And there are rewards both intrinsic and material. More than $1 million con tributed annually by private sources is channeled to 4-H members through the Na tional 4-H Service Commit tee. Funds are used for coun ty, regional, state and na tional awards ranging from certificates and medals to $1,000 scholarships. And edu cational aids covering many subjects are published and distributed to 4-H leaders and members. For nearly 50 years, pri vate funds have augmented the public-financed 4-H pro gram. Some of the oldest and largest business enterprises in the U.S. have supported 4-H work since its inception. Among the scores of 4-H sponsors are: Allis-Chalmers, Armour and Company, Car nation Company, Coats & Clark Inc., The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, General Foods Corporation, General Motors, Illinois Cen tral Railroad and Interna tional Harvester Company. Also, Kerr Glass Manufac turing Corporation, Mont gomery Ward, Moorman Mfg. Co., Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation, Ralston Purina Company, The Singer Com pany, Santa Fe Railway Sys tem, and Wilson & Co., Inc., A Subsidiary of Ling-Temco Vought Inc. HOME ECHOES By Marie Penuel ? — How can I use evaporated milk in preparing mashed po> tatoes?

Cronin it Director of Temporaries; Business Schools, Victor Comptometer Corp. Once the public school season has begun, mothers will have plenty of free time to use profitably. The changing, expanding office world will eagerly pay high salaries for this time. New tecn - nology has caused changes in procedures which could discourage the woman who has been away for awhile, but for those who are willing to make some preparations, N*n R- Cronin the change holds new oppor tunity. The best way to ease back in to the action is to take a short refresher course from a local, reputable business school. A business school can in crease ability and build self ■ confidence. The school can bring the office worker up to date on the newest calculators, keypunch or key-to-tape mod els currently in wide use. New office techniques and manners can be learned. Skills can be , speeded up in classes on dic tation, typing or business ma chines. Automation Creates Jobs One of the causes of the in creased demand for employes in the office today is automa tion. Computers require a huge input from a variety of smaller business machines which re quire skilled operators. Automation has even opened a new career for women who have the aptitude and willing ness to learn. The career—com puter programing—formerly a male-dominated segment of business has recently risen from five to 13.8 per cent fe male. Eventually, 50 per cent of all programers will be wom en. Women Are Logical Contrary to popular male opinion, the female mind is extremely logical, and a logical mind is a prime prerequisite for programing. Management has learned that patience and meticulous attention to detail, a character istic of most women, is an im portant trait for this profession. Schools, of course, first must test the applicant’s aptitude before starting her off in the profession. Courses in. pro graming are more complicated than those for business ma chine skills or general office skills, but the salary is much higher. Food For Thought The main points to consider before enrolling in a course are: Be sure the school will pro vide you with free job place ment assistance for either tem porary or permanent positions. Make sure your aptitude and desire is right for the subject you choose to study. Observe a class in operation before signing up to be sure you know what to expect. Find out how much money you stand to lose if you should have to drop out of class for any reason. What’s A Cheesecake? The question was cheesecake. "What’s a cheesecake?” was the question asked thousands of women in three major cities. The answers indicated that when it comes to cheesecake, there are “traditionalists” and there are the “modems." The tradition alists prefer a thick, rich variety. Younger women and their families prefer)’# lighter, fluffier cream base with a fruit topping. To please the younger group, the Kitchens of Sara Lee per fected a new; processing technique which for the first time pre serves the fjceah fruit flavor of specially grown strawberries throughout preparation and storage. The new fruit-topped vari ety was added-to fhe company’s line Of blueberry, pineapple and cherry cheesecakes. (And for the traditionalists, there’s still the original cream cheese cake.) 101 PROOF-8 YEARS OLD
