and in neghboring counties whom
would like to call friend.
This experience was repeated
time and again during my eight
years as All club member, the
four years spent studying home
economics at the Ohio State uni
versity, in my work as a county
extension agent working with
All in Belmont county and now
as a homemaker.
For when you are All club
member it is difficult to remain
a stranger no matter where you
may be. For example, my col
ege roommate was a girl I had
first met at a counsellor's train
ing camp. Among my class
mates were those l had known
when | attended State Junior
Leadership an d Conservation
camps Even the immense cam
puS was not complete stranger
because / had been fortunate
enough to have spent a week
there as a delegate to the Ohio
Al Club Congress. And when
| met my future husband we soon
discovered that, although we had
been raised in different commun-
tiles, we had both grown up with
All club work and therefore had
common meeting ground.
Even the boundries of our
state and nation did not limit
my contacts. Through the In
ternational Farm Youth Exchange
Program | became acquainted
with people of other countries,
either by meeting the youth Of
other lands that were visiting
farm families here or by viewing
the slides of those who had spent
several months in rural homes
abroad.
Thus Al club work was the
key that unlocked a door to
friendships. 1t also helped me
choose a career. AS a club mem
ber | enjoyed my projects and
the varied activities such as
camps, style reviews and the
county fair. AS a home econom-
les agent | felt l could continue
with these same experiences.
And having been a club member
myself, it was easier to work
with these young 4-H'ers and
challenge them to take advantage
of the many opportunities offered
them Now, as a homemaker
l can not only apply the prac-
teal training | received, but am
also better able to understand
my husbands work as the Coun-
ty Extension Agent responsible
| for club work in Carol County
And we're looking forward tt
that time when our daughter:
will be All club members.

your third one at 1100.
By 1900 it is time for table
settlers and lunch is served at
1915. After it is over and the
dishes are done, everyone is to
go to his cabin for about forty
five minute rest period before
starting the afternoon activities.
After this rest period, the after
noon classes begin with each
tribe doing something together.
There are three classes and each
tribe spends one in swimming
and two in recreation. For ex-
ample, while the Mohawks are
swimming the Mingos and Mi
amis are playing games. This
is changed each hour so everyone
gets a chance. Then on one day
of the camp, the advisors take
everyone for boat ride
These classes are over about
five o'clock, when it is then time
for tribal meetings. At these
meetings each tribe has a leader
and stunt, challenge, and song
is worked out for the campfire
in the evening. Then it once
again is time for table settlers
at $50, and dinner is served at
5:45.
Soon after the dishes are done,
it is time for vespers. Then the
evening program begins. About
two hours is spent in recreation
and dancing. Th en- everyone
gets with their tribe and goes
down to the fireplace for the
campfire. This takes about an
hour. Shortly after returning to
the cabins, everyone goes to bed
and lights are finally turned out
at 11:15 or 1870.
This schedule is followed every
day throughout the camp with
the exceptions of the last evening.
Then all the advisors, staff, and
members help clean and mop the
lodge. Then everyone goes for
a moonlight swim and have a
party afterwards in the lodge,
After breakfast on the next day,
camp breaks up. After these
three days, we are now prepared
to enter Junior and Senior Camps
and teach these younger members
what we have learned.
Junior Camp is for the girls
and boys between the ages of
10 and 13. The 13 year olds have
the choice of going to either
camp. The schedule for this
camp is changed some due to
this being for younger members
| They have about the same classes,
but their hours are shorter. Also
on the last night a talent show is
held. In this every cabin enters
a song, .skit, or dance. There is
also a Small party held for them
afterwards.
Then at Senior Camp the ages
run from Is on up. This camp
is based on the same principle
as that of the Counselor's Camp
At this camp there are few
more activities that were not as
plentiful as at the Junior Camp
Both of these camps last about
three days also.
I have told you a lot of the
many activities in which you
participate and the fun you share
in while at All camp. I think
it is a wonderful opportunity for
every eirl and boy of these ages
as we'll as for the older people
who can serve as advisors and
leaders. | know it has surely
been we'll worth all of my time
and I hope there will be more
Young people become interested

Napal. We all enjoyed talking
to them very much and learning
about their country.
Saftey was also a part of our
program. We all enjoyed the
talk about highway safety, and a
mock first-aid session.
Vespers were held every even
ing on hill above the camp.
These services were beautiful in
every way, for a cross had been
erected on the top of the hill
and the sun was usually setting
behind it while vespers were
being held.
Another impressive part of the
program was the Candle Light
ing Ceremony which was held on
the last nigh of camp around the
swimming pool. The reflection
of the candles in the water made
the ceremony one of the most
beautiful I have ever seen.
profited in many ways during
my week at Camp Ohio, as. did

sure helped me to overcome
some of my bashfulness as well
as meet new friends and learn
to work and get along with them.
1t has also helped me to learn
new ways of doing many things
and being able to teach other
people these ways.
In the next few paragraphs
am going to outline the things
that make up this camp to show
you what camp life is really like
and how you can enjoy it and let
1t be well worth your time and
money.
At Counselor's Camp we usual
ly spend about three and a half
days with boys and girls from
seven other counties. During
this time, we devote ourselves
to learning ways to help younger
members who will be attending
the Junior and Senior camps at
later dates.
When we first get to camp,
ach person registers and is
igned to a certain cabin, which
ne will keep until the end of
camp. At this time you will also
be assigned to tribe, such as
the Mohawks, Mingos, or Miamis,
and will sign up for differen,
classes for the following morn
lngs. After you have your hunks
made, the rest of the day is spent
in swimming or playing games
Then in the evening after dinner,
everyone enjoys recreation, such
as dancing, singing, or playing
games.
The next three days are fol-
lowed by a schedule. We rose
each morning at 7:15 with the
exceptions of the mornings when
a morning dip in the pool was
offered, and everyone would rise
earlier for it. Bre eakfast is
served each morning at 7:45
After it was over, and the dish
washers and table settlers were
signed for the day, and the dishes
were done, everyone helped ge,
the cabins and grounds cleaned
up. Each person does his best
on this as there is a point system
which is used to show which
tribe cleans the best during the
whole camp. It also shows
which one has won the most
games in recreation.
Then by 900 it is time fol
each person to go to his first
class he has signed up for. You
have the choices from the follow,
ing classes: swimming, cooking
conservation, lamp making, lea
ther-tooling, recreation, wood
painting, or water safety. Each
class lasts for an hour. You &C

| great beauty, or useful pitcher,
pile.
We build our lives in much the
same way as the pottery maker
creates the pitcher, bowl, urn or
dish, for we start with a shape
less mass and then with patience,
work and a few tools we make a
life for ourselves.
How beautiful and satisfying
our life is depends on how much
we utilize the tools and how
well we use them.
For me, All club work has
been one of the tools which has
helped me build my life. 1t has
helped to make life seem more
useful and satisfying. Through
my All projects, which have
been in sewing, baking, cooking,
meal-preparation, gardening, art,
money management, and room
Improvement, l have received a
lot of experience which Will not
only be useful when | am living
on my own but has also given me
a good background for my college
work which has been in Home
Economics.
So much can be gained in SO
! many ways from All club work.
First there are the projects.
Each club member decides what
projects to take and is given a
! project book as guide. The
club advisor, Junior Leaders and
the Extension Agents give assis-
tance and information as needed.
The All club member really has
a great opportunity to learn as
much as possible in the areas of
farming and homemaking.
Though Benjamin Franklin did
not know it at the time he said
it, his now famous phrase, "A
penny saved is penny earned"
could be applied to All projects.
Sewing is good example of
this. 1t has been estimated that
a garment can be made for
approximately one-third Of the
price of a ready-made garment.
| furthermore, young seam
stress can make simple altera-
tionsa on a ready-made dress in
a few minutes which might other
wise cost a great deal if done
by a commercial concern. Even
a beginner can make repairs on
a garment which will add to its
| life. On the other hand, an eX
perienced seamstress can alter or
remake a garment so that it will
give pleasure and will last for
many more years.
1t pays in more ways than one
to know how to sew and this
is true with all of the All pro-
jects.
Through All activities which
are a part of the club program,
many new friends can be made.
Some of these local activities are:
All camp, fair, recognition ban
quet, All picnic, talent show,
safety speaking contest, advisors
and officers conference. State
and national activities are: state
fair, state and national club con-
gress, buckeye recreation work
shop, conservation camp, forestry
camp and state junior leadership
camp.
I have met and made many
new friends, especially through
state activities. When I was
getting ready to 60 to college
for the first year, many people
warned me that Ohio State was

These suggestions, as l will call
them, go along this line. why
don't they change the rule in
judging clothing, or cattle etc?"
When receiving these suggestions
they are discussed with happen
ings from other areas of the state
Also whether they would be good
or not. Then we try to set a
rule that will meet all require
ments over the state. This is
for local, district and state level,
along with the National level.
Another task of the committee
is to start new projects and
drop old projects, the latter is
when no interest seems to be held
by them.
When setting up a new project
there is a considerable amount of
time and effort consumed in get
ting it under production, The
project requires research, study,
and needs to be met. The time
consumed in this study takes the
larger part of two years to get
books printed and distributed to
all extension offices over the
state. The State All Staff oper-
ates on budget and have certain
periods for getting books printed.
The above is general outline
of the State All Advisory Com
mittee and their functions.
When I was selected from No
BILE county last spring (1959) and
went to attend my first meeting
in Columbus, l was surprised at
how little l knew about All work
At this meeting there were about
Is advisors from different areas
of the state, along with the State
All Staff. After the introduce
ton of each member one of the
staff members opened the meet
ing with suggestions and recon-
mendations from each advisor
and member.
Here are some of the suggeS-
tionS and recommendations that
were received.
Need of a recreation specialist
with song leading ability.
Importance and suggestions for
year around All Club programs
Need for policy and common
understanding in All saddle
horse clubs.
Gun Safety and firearms pro-
ject.
Enlarge Particles to Use and
Wear" project for two years.
Extension of Outdoor Cook
cry" project.
More emphasis placed on home
furnishings.
More projects in nutrition.
Need for more advisor training
More specific help in health
and safety field.
Members be permitted to enter
state fair classes two times.
Provide state fair activities
other than food, nutrition, and
livestock.
Establish criteria for State
| Fair Junior Queen.
Develop a statewide judging
score sheet.
Limit the number of projects
per member.
There was considerable dis
cussion on most of the subjects
and some had to be studied and
more information gathered before
project book could be under
taken and produced.
Now moral booster to those
| members and advisors who have
sent in suggestions to the state
| advisory committee and haven't
heard or received a word or por-
ject book on your idea. Don't
give up hope.

a statement ON various subjects, in
Guiding this one"
Kennedy reaffirmed the position
he took 20 months ago. He said the
the Observation-Disclosures proposal
would Impose an inequitable tax
upon co-operatives." He attacked it
as an attempt to regulate the ma
turity date and the interest rate of
the obligations of private business. -
He said it would increase taxes
on co-ops least able to pay Them and
declared it threatened the progress
of the entire cooperative movement"
President Eisenhower included the
proposal in his budget message to
Congress January 10, 1859, In it he
said, Specific proposals for correc-
tive amendments of the laws on taxa
ton of co-operatives will be trans
mitted to Congress shortly"
Next day Anderson wrote the chair
man of the House Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate Finance
Committee proposing that co-ops pay
income tax on their refunds unless
they make these refunds in cash or
in some qualified form.
To qualify, co-op's refunds would
have to bear at least A % interest, and
they would have to be redeemed in
cash within at least three years, An
derson said.
For six months no congressman
was willing to sponsor the proposal
by putting his name on it and intro
ducing it as a bill. Finally, as Con-
gress moved toward it's 1859 adjourn
ment, the late Congressman Richard
Simpson (R-Pa.) ranking minority
member of the House Ways and
Means Committee, introduced the Eli
senhower-Anderson proposal "by re-
quest.
The committee never gave it serious
consideration, either in 1859 or 1860.
Eight days after the Presidents
1859 budget message, Kennedy vigor-
ously declared his opposition to the
coop tax plan, both in letter to
Anderson and on the Senate floor.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
Vice President Richard Nixon has
declined to say where he stands on
the Administrations plan to tax CO.
ops on their non-cash refunds.
His Democratic opponent, Senator
John Kennedy (D-Mass.) vigorously
attacked the proposal week after
the President and Treasury Secretary
Robert Anderson first presented it
in the 1859 budget message to Con-
gress. Kennedy has since reaffirmed
his opposition to the idea.
Under the proposal, co-ops would
be required to pay income tax on their
refunds, unless these refunds were
made in cash or in certificates bear
ing 4 20 interest that were redeemable
in cash within three years.
Kennedy declared this was ssthe
only instance in which the federal
government has attempted to dictate
the rate of interest a business must
pay on it's obligations"
He pointed out that under the Eli

Coop Manager First To Earn
Perfect Score In History
Of The Iowa State Fair

Gunnar LandSgaard, buttermaker at
the ST. Olaf Coop Creamery for the
past four years, became the first but
termaker on record to enter perfect
score butter at the Iowa state fair.
Gunnar's sample of butter, entered
in state fair competition at Des
Moines last week, scored a perfect
100 points. 1t was the first time in
the history of the fair that a butter
maker has earned a perfect score in
this competition.
Butter is judged on basis of eight
different categories, such as flavor,
body, color, salt, composition keeping
quality, etc. Each category bears a
certain number of points toward the
total score. To score high in keeping
quality butter must remain fresh
after 10 days at 10 degrees tempera-
ture.
Gunnar's sample scored the top
points in all eight categories to give
the perfect mark of 100.
In discussing the achievement,
Landsgaard gave lot of credit to the
patrons of his creamery for their
production of very high quality milk
and cream. He also gives credit to
good can washers, good equipment
and efficient management in the
creamery. Strict attention is paid to
the smallest details in the handling of
the milk at the creamery.-CLAY-
