The Best 10 Years
When retirement standards cut off many persons in their most
productive period of life, it is refreshing to read about a man who
is still going strong in his S3rd year. He is J. C. Penney, founder
of the great chain of stores bearing his name. On a visit to Portland,
Oregon, he expressed thoughts that are good medicine in these days
of confusion. Among other things, he said, “. . .I’m looking forward
to the next 10 years as the best years of my life I belong to
too many organizations, like the 4-H, that represent young people
and I meet too many outstanding examples of today’s youth to sour
on any of them. I see leaders of tomorrow. . .business leaders,
governors and perhaps even presidents.”

State Foresters
Honor Russell
New Orleans, La., —Senator
Richard B. Russell was honored
as "a champion of the nation’s
natural resources” at a lunch
eon here of the National Asso
ciation of State Foresters.
The program included the pre
sentation of a plaque to the Geor
gia Senator by the Association’s
past president, Ray Shirley, the
Director of the Georgia Fores
try Commission. The plaque con
tained an Inscription recognizing
Senator Russell for “his keen in
sight in fostering and supporting
forest protection, management
and research” that has resulted
in his making “a significant con
tribution to building and maint
aining a stronger America..”
In an address following the
award presentation, Senator Rus
sell said, ‘‘Well managed and
productive forests are vital to
a continuation of a wholesome
life in this country. The popula
tion explosion poses many dif
ficult challenges for the future.”
“We will not only have to in
sure that we have an adequate
supply of timber to meet drama
tic increases in demand, but we
will have to do it with less avai
lable land space,” he added.

4-H’ers Help Horses
Stage Big Comeback
The horse may not be as im
portant to America now as it
was back during the cowboy and
Indian days, or when the animal
was the primary source of farm
power.
No doubt about it, though, the
horse is coming back. And this
time It’s for a different reason—
pleasure.
Hie pleasure horse is more
popular today than at any time
in history, said Thomas J. Da
vis Jr., district 4-H Club lea
der with the University of Geor
di a Cooperative Extension Ser
vice. m the United States it
is estimated that one of every
I 30 citizens owns a horse.
In Georgia, 4-H boys and girls
seem to be leading the equine
comeback. Mr. Davis said more
than 7,000 members were en
rolled in the Club’s horse and
pony program last year. “Four
years ago you could have num
bered them in the hundreds,” he
added.
The district 4-H leader said
main Ingredients in the success
of the project are fun, learning
and rewards. The fun, he said,
comes at horse shows and on the
trail, or during a Saturday or
Sunday afternoon get-together of
horse enthusiasts and horses.
Mr. Davis said the 4-H’ers
gladly accept the learning part
of the project because of its clo
se tie to the fun and rewards.
Subject matter information is of
fered in a variety of ways—th
rough illustrated state and nat
ional manuals, in training meet
ings both indoors and in the show
ring, and at special horse sc
hools and clinics on a district
and state basis. In addition, the
boys and girls receive individual
training from county agents or
’ adult volunteer project leaders
at the local level.
Awards in the program range
from county championship me
dals, to ribbons and trophies, to
out-of-county and out-of-state
trips.
Winn Dixie Stores, Inc., spon
sors the state 4-H horse project,
providing a one-year subscrip
tion to the National 4-H News
to county champions who com

ment meetings, and paying the

The program’s national donor

Merck and Company, Inc., Rah

4-H Congress in Chicago for the
state winners and awards S6OO
educational scholarships to each

Miss Amelia Wiley, Walton
County, is Georgia’s 1968 horse
winner and will represent the
state in Chicago, December 1-5.
Another part of the 4-H horse
and pony project includes the
district and state shows. First,
second and third place winners
in each of six Extension Service
areas come to the University of
Georgia Coliseum to compete for
state honors each year.

trophies to the first place win

to the next nine places. There
were 26 classes in the 1968

year’s event. The best all

SANDWICH TIPS
Sandwiches are a favorite the
year round. However, they are
especially delightful for snacks,
school lunches and week-end tr
eats. Nutritionally speaking, the
sandwich can pack real value.
Here are sone tips which should
be useful to any Newton County
sandwich maker:
Use thinly sliced day-old br
ead. For interest, use different
kinds of bread. Spread the bread
with softened butter or margarine
right out to the edges. Do not use
melted table fats. These fats
soak into the bread.
Make sandwich fillings moist,
but not soupy and don’t skimp,
use plenty of filling.
It is better to use several thin
slices of meat rather than one
thick one. If sandwiches are
to be eaten hours later, wrap
lettuce, celery, tomatoes and pi
ckles separately in foil to be
added to the sandwich just before
eating time.
For those lunch and picnic
sandwiches, be sure to wrap each
one individually to prevent fla
vors from mingling.
Remember to turn to sand
wiches if you are packing a lun
ch, going on a picnic, cooking
out in the yard, making an at-

HANDY TRICKS
Need some helpful suggestions
to lighten your housework? Try
some of these:
Make a sticking, squeaky draw
er slide easily and quietly by
rubbing the tops of both sides
and the undersurfaces with soap.
Lubricate nails or screws with
soap to make them easier to
drive into wood or plaster.
Protect the bottoms and sides
of pots and pans for outdoor
cooking with a thin film of soap
or detergent suds. Later, the
soot will wash off readily with
the suds.
Protect windowpanes when pa
inting the frames by coating each
pane with a thick paste of soap
or detergent and water. After
wards, paint splatters wash off
easily with the suds paste.
How do you remove a broken
light bulb? Press a bar of
damp soap into the broken ends
of a light bulb and turn left
to remove the socket. But re
member—first turn off the cur
rent; if in doubt, remove the fuse.
This need not be a shocking ex
perience.
