Extension Agent
Praises Recent
4-H Club Congress
Lew Hanks, Extension Service
district agent, returned to the
valley this week-end following |
attendance at the National 4-H
Club Congress in Chicago and
the meeting of the Vegetable
Growers’ Association of America
in Grand Rapids. While at the
Grand Rapids meeting. Hanks
met Mr. and Mrs. Max Sherrod,
produce farmers from Palmer,
who also were attending the
meeting.
Hanks reported he saw consid
erable farm equipment which
was on display, noting a number
of new developments. He
brought literature back to Pal
mer which is now at the Exten
sion Service office where inter
ested persons may stop in and
go through it.
At the 4-H Club Congress in
Chicago Hanks reported the Al
aska winners “had the time of
their lives”. Gene Dinkle of Was
illa, Sara Peck of Seward, and
Maurine Dobbs of Fairbanks
were the Alaskan 4-H winners
whom Hanks accompanied to the
Congress. In addition to being
feted at dinners and banquets,
the delegates were taken on a
number of interesting tours and
as

appeared on a television pro
gram.
“A chance to attend the 4-H
Club Congress is worth a lot of
time from any youngsters spare
time. Competing for that trip to
Chicago, I' believe, is the most
outstanding experience any
youngster can have”, Hanks stat
ed. He said he thought that all
parents should encourage their
youngsters to aim for a trip
to the 4-H Congress. ‘‘It’s an edu
cation in itself”, he pointed out.
“Beside all the wonderful times
they had in Chicago, it was a
great experience to meet and
mingle with the 12 to 14 thou
sand 4-H’ers from all over the
States.”
The annual Congress is hold
for public recognition of the 4-H
programs and for the 4-H mem
bers and their various projects.
“I feel”, Hanks said, “that we
could get more sponsors for Al
askan 4-H if more of the young
sters would really get into the
program and compete for the
trips.”
