WHAT IS A 4-H LEADER?
Somewhere between the stemess of a parent, and the
comradeship of a pal is that mysterious creature we call
a 4-H leader. These leaders come in all shapes and sizes
and may be male or female. But they all have one thing in
common—a glorious twinkle in their eyes!
Four-H leaders are, found everywhere—at judging
contests junior fairs, square dances and talent shows—
and are always preparing for, sittingi through, participat
ing in, or recuperating from a meeting of some kind. They
are tireless consumers of muffins, expert at taking knots
■out of thread, peerless basketball coaches and spend hours
on the telephone.
A 4-H leader is many things—an artist making a float
for the Fourth of July, a doctor prescribing for an under
fed calf, a counselor at camp, a lawyer filling out reports
and a shoulder to cry on when that dress just won’t fit!
Nobody else is so early to rise and so late home at
night. Nobody else has so much fun with such a large
family of boys and giris.
We sometimes forget them, but we can’t do without
them. They receive no salary, but we can never repay
them.
They are Angels in Aprons, Saints in Straw Hats.
Their only reward is the love of the kids and the respect
of the community. But when they look around them at
the skills they’ve taught,, and the youth they’ve built,
there’s an inner voice from somewhere that says, “Well
Done”.

News, June, 1956

ALASKAN SHEEPMEN
TO RECEIVE
INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
Alaskan sheepmen will re
ceive substantial incentive pay
ments on their 1955 clip soon,
Philip R. Johnson, chairman of
the Alaska Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation (ACS)
committee said this week.
The incentive payments am
ount to 44.9% of the net sales
proceeds received by the sheep
men. These payments will be
made under the National Wool
Act of 1954. This is the one agri
cultural price support program
that has been extended to Alas
ka.
Most of the sheep in Alaska
are on Umnak and Unalaska Is
lands in the Aleutians, Johnson
explained. While there are small
flocks in the Fairbanks and
Homer areas, the islands without
a predator problem and with
year-around grazing are the po
tential wool producing areas in
Alaska. Wool is a relatively non
perishable and compact product
that can be easily transported.
A ready market already exists
COURT ITEWS
Luke Galasso was fined $50
when found guilty of a Territor
ial Police charge of negligent
driving on July 4. His driver’s
license was also revoked for 10
days. Galasso appeared in court
July 10.
John Jensen was fined S10 on
a charge of failure to stop at a
stop sign on June 28. His court
was held on the same date. The
charge was brought by Territor
ial Police.
Charles D. Long was fined $10
on a June 30 charge of driving
without a valid operator’s license
in possession, brought by Terri
torial Police.
in the States. This incentive pro
gram could easily make wool
production in those island areas
one of the most profitable agri
cultural enterprises in Alaska,
Johnson said.
Persons interested in learning
more about the operation of the
I program should write to the Al
I aska ASC Office, Box B, College.
