Reed, Rachael Look, Myrtle Har-
per and myself, we all got to
go to Columbus for a week all
expenses paid. They too had won
prizes at the fair. This was the
same as club congress is now.
The thrill of that trip never left
me, so | was eager to have clubs
started in our country and to
be an advisor.
When I first started, I had at
one time, % girls. These girls
have grown, married and have
girls of their own. / hope they
will always encourage them in
All work.
How / love to sit on the floor,
girls all around me, and I have
had boys too, threading needles,
typing knots and even sewing
left handed for my south paws.
Yes, it is great to be an advisor.
l love to work with young people
and they are so nice to me and SO
eager to learn
When we all meet at Colum-

wards.

In this stand hot dogs, pie, pop,
ice cream, milk shakes, candy,
and gum were sold. This stand
was supervised by the county
extension agents, the advisors,
and the Junior Leaders. The All
members do the work.
There is lot of activity in
these stands several days clean
ing and scrubbing to try to get
the booth ready for use. This
is also much work but lot OF
fun, too; and it seems to be profit
able. This is one of the means
the All council has of raising
money for the years activities.
The whole fair program is under
the supervision of the county
extension agents, Al advisor, and
junior leaders. From the junior
leadership club junior fair mana
gers are chosen. They take care
of getting the booths assigned to
the right clubs, the cattle, sheep,
horses, and chickens in the right
places, and just seeing that every
thing runs smoothly.
BY the time the fair gets under
way the extension agents and
advisors wish it was ending be-
cause it means so much work for
them to keep everything running
smoothly.
When the fair is over the men,
bers wish it was starting all over
again. It is really a lot of fun
and rewarding if you get CAS-"
on your projects. 1t is rather a
sad time because it means the
end of the Al program for the
year. But I guess there will al
ways be another All club and
another county fair.

County Advisors
In 4-H Club Work
Vital ToProqran1
BY ]. o. Gibson

Each year the Noble County
Fair Board gives an advisors
recognition banquet to all All
advisors, Junior leaders and
guests.
At this time the advisors from
different clubs are given recog-
milton for their untiring efforts
in this fine work.
1t has been my privilege to
attend this banquet many times
having just completed rs years
of being a All Advisors of
Beaver Va II ey club. I have
worked with many fine groups
of boys and girls, also assistant
leaders, and parents of our own
community and the county.
1t has been quite an experience
for me, which l have much en-
joyed. am glad to have had a
part in this wonderful work.
One banquet which l remember
so we'll was the one my wife and
I together with MIR. Henderson
and some others from Noble
county attended at Springfield,
in March, 1853. 1t was the 50th
anniversary of All club work in
honor of the late A. B. Graham,
the founder of All club work in
Ohio.
AS the annual banquet is held
in or near the National All club
week. l think it gives members
advisors, parents and all who
attend an excellent opportunity
to meet and exchange ideas. 1t
also encourages them for a good
start on the new club year to
our club and all others in the
make the best better"
We always look forward to it
as a fine evening Of entertain
ment. / would like on behalf of
county to express our appreci-
alton to the fair board, Paul JON
ard, county extension agent, All,
Floyd Henderson, county extern
sion agent in Agriculture, to
those who prepare the meal, and
all others who help to make this
annual All Banquet such a sue
cess.

Advisors will come from all over
Ohio SO there will probably be
four or five hundred.
The tables will be decorated
in All colors and marked ac-
cording to years in order that
we may know where to sit. Each
advisor will be presented with
a flower. In the past they have
given US different colored carna-
tions according to the years we
have been advisors.

will be among people who have

Ohio Four-H Club
Congress Proves
Real Experience
By Ann JOhanning

I was one of the five from
Noble County who had the honor
and privilege of attending the
And. Ohio All club congress
held at the Ohio State Univers-
ity, Sept 1916. The others who
enjoyed the same honor and
privilege of attending the Con-
gress were as follows: Nancy
Clymer. Barbara Bond, Roger
Iams, and Hobie Bond.
During this week, l had the
opportunity to make new friends,
become better acquainted with
the University campus and learn
more about our state government.
While sharing my club expert
ences with others, learned new
ideas to bring back to my COM
munity and my county.
We arrived Saturday morning:
registered, and moved into the
dOrmitory. The first group, in the
form, of a panel, discussed, the
subject, Applying My All
Leadership Into Community
leadership" We went on a tour
of the West campus during which
time we had an opportunity to
visit two departments of the uni
versity. In the evening we at
tended barbecue, which was
very exciting, followed by a "Get
Acquainted Party"
Sunday most of the. delegates
attended the church of their
choice. In the afternoon we en-
joyed another group discussion,
the subject know Yourself Be
Yourself which was very inter
eSting.
A mock legislative session was
held Monday. At that session we
listened to a debate, Semester
System in High School VS.. Four
Quarter System" In the after
noon we had free time. We could
bowl, or play table tennis, and
we chose to bowl. This period
Of relaxation was very enjoyable,
since this was the first time many
of us had ever boWled That
evening we attended the friend
ship circle which closed each day
of the Congress.
Tuesday, the group discussion
was How to Create Your Ca
reer," at which time we had a
chance to choose what we thought
our career would be. | chose
Home Economics, since that is
my particular teres t. That
evening we attended a banquet.
Woody Hayes was the guest
speaker. There was also round
and square dancing. AS a climax
to the congress we attended a
candlelight service. Our own
Susan Long, who was one of the
counselors, was chosen to be the
flame of service, and this made
our group from Noble county
very proud.
| want to thank those who made
it possible for me to attend club
congress. 1t was very exciting,
interesting, and educational.

the opportunities my eight years
in All club work have given me

projects in that they decorate
with different h m e S. These
booths are judged in first, sec
ond, or third places. Every men,
Der tries to make his clubs booth
the best. These booths give the
members a chance to know what
the other clubs are doing and
what projects they are taking.
The grades of all the clothing,
cooking, electric rope, and first
aid projects are put on the pro-
jects in ribbons of different color
such as; blue for an "A", red for
a "B", and white for a ''C". All
state fair entries are given green
ribbons in addition to the grade
of their projects.
The projects such as care of
horses, sheep, rabbits, cattle, and
chickens are not judged until the
fair time. 1t is an exciting
thing to see a friend of yours in
the show ring showing the judges
what his or her animal can do.
Sometimes the reward is really
great and other times not SO
great but the owner is always
proud of his animal.
The most important thing in
All is showmanship. Maybe you
don't win but you know you tried
and next year you will try just
a little harder. It takes much
work to prepare the animal for
showing, such as a bath, which
usually ends up getting the own
er wetter than the animal. After
drying it, it has to be brushed and
combed until it is the best looking
animal there. This ends up in a
great amount of work but it is
also a lot of fun.
Besides the activity of getting
projects ready for showing and
fixing booths to look their best
there is the work of getting the
All stands ready to sell food.
Up until last year two stands
were operated, the All stand and
the Junior Leadership stand.
Last year they were combined.

which came under school dress.
The winner of the Good Groom
ing award was Deloris Bond.
1t has been thought the eff
forts of the members of the
county extension office and my
advisors that l have done as we'll
as I have in my All club work.
I believe that all parents should
encourage their children and
take an active part themselves
in some phase of All work. You
learn a lot as well as have fun
in All.
would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the Lions Club
for the interest it takes in All
club work and its members. The
many acts of kindness from the
different organizations in this
county help to encourage the
advisors, Junior Leaders and
the All club members in their
work.

farm bureau, scouts, and other
community groups take part in
the same workshop. 1t offers
a place where persons with the
same interests can come together
and share their ideas.
The workshop that I attended
was held from February II, 1859
in Delaward, Ohio, at the Asbury
Methodist Church. Other dele
gates from Noble county were
Diane Ogle, Joy Wiley, Deloris
Bond, and Karen Sue Bates. Paul
Jonard took us and he also
attended the work S h op. The
theme carried out was "Enriching
Lives Through Recreation"
All delegates to the workshop
stay in the homes Of people who
attend the Asbury Methodist
church. All of us stayed in
tie same house except Diane
Ogle and she stayed down the
street from US.
One of the things that I en-
joyed most was the morning
meditation that was held in the
sanctuary of the church. A diff
ferent person had charge each
morning.
After the meditation there were
different classes that you could
take. These classes included
puppetry, nature crafts, camp
counselling, games and party
planning, folk dancing, story
telling, commercial crafts, crafts
for small children, wood carving,
square dancing and calling, weav-
ing, song leading, tin can craft,
and special day decorations. OF
course / couldn't take all Of these
classes but the ones that l did
take have been a great help to
me.
Each afternoon there was tea
and special program. The ta-
bles were decorated different
every day and different refresh
ments were served. Some of the
programs included a hobby show
q tin can craft demonstration, and
a tour to Cooperative Recreation
Service. All of the programs
were very good.
The evening programs con-
sisted of decorations and games

from other countries. On the
last night the program was about
the Brussels Fair. l am sure
that everyone learned a little
more about some of the other
countries.
One of the highlights of the
workshop was the evening that
we went to Holiday Hill for an
evening of square dancing and
games. 1t is very nice place
owned by John Rowlands.
After the evening programs
were over we would go down to
the snack bar and get something
to eat. We whould usually take it
to our room and sit around and
talk and eat before we went to
bed.
One afternoon we walked down
town and went shopping and
one night we went down town
and had a pizza.
The only problem that | had
while I was there was getting up
in the morning. l had to walk
about two blocks to the church
and breakfast was at 7:30 a. m.
sure was sorry when Saturday
came and I had to come home.
I think that everyone there felt
the same way.
Through the workshop, many
people learned to cooperate with
other people through recreation,
meditation, and several other
ways. If any of you ever get to
60 to the workshop, l am sure
that you will enjoy it as much
as 1 did. This was privilege
that I will always remember.

ference" Mr.. Eaton declared
in his report.
Indicating there is little hope
for effective negotiations until
there is a reversal of the Com
munist attitude. he wrote:
1T remains, however, for the
Communist governments, and
particularly the Soviet Union,
to decide that they are more
interested in serious practical
negotiations than in propa-
ganda before this hope can be
achieved"
Mr.. Eaton cited repeated, un-
successful efforts by the West
ern powers to get the Soviet
delegation at Geneva to dis
cuSs the concrete measures of
disarmament as set forth in
the Western proposals" and TO
clarity proposals which the So
viets themselves had made.
In general the Soviet Union
denounced all Western PROPOSE
tions for halting the nuclear
arms race and controlling the
dangers of war as measures Of
control without disarmament.
The West rejected Soviet plans
as "unrealistic and unaccept-
able" and full of serious faults.
At the time the Russians
broke of the talks Mr.. Eaton
had just returned to Geneva
with a revised United States
plan and had informed the Rus
slams it would be introduced
within a few days.
The Communist walkout, Mr..
Eaton said, in this circum-
stance, finally demonstrated
that the Reds were interested
only in propaganda making,

The anvil has gone out of

But couples from outside
