4-H'ers to Have Their Turn
At King's Lake Camp Next Week
t _
♦-H youngsters and grown-up
teen-agers are enrolling this week
at the Extension office for their
annual summer camp at King's
lake which begins next week
Tuesday. July 24. at 2 p.m.
The camp period will last until
1:30 p.m July 27. All 4-H'ers who
have their project work up-to
date are eligible to attend, so a
record enrollment and an espe
cially fine camp are expected by
Miss Mary Lou Lashbrook- 4-H
director.
Besides swimming, games and
other outdoor sports, work is
planned in several interesting
crafts. Ail materials for crafts
will be furmsheft except for those
who choose to make a bird house,
splice and plait a rope to make a
calf halter, or learn to make elec
trical connections. Specifications
for materials needed in these
projects were included in camp
news letters sent to all enrolled
4-H’ers.
Explain 4-H Program
According to Miss Lashbrook,
there are 19 4-H clubs in this Ex
tension Service district. Two
members, who are working on in
dividual projects, do not belong
to a club.
Ten clubs are located in the
immediate Valley, seven around
Wasilla, one in Chugiak, and one
in Glenn Allen. The total mem
bership is 156.
4-H’ers are encouraged to take
only one project at a time and
carry it to completion. However,
a fe#v 4-H’ers feel that they can
do justice to more than one proj
ect; 20 members are working on
two projects this summer.
The projects vary. Baking ranks
high with 86 enrollees; gardening
is next with 40. Sewing projects
have been begun by 19, and 17
are working on clothing. Eight
members are raising dairy calves,
but only one has a poultry proj
ect. Three members are improv
ing their yards.
“If the entire family is inter
ested, the chances for the success
of 4-H members are much great
er,” Miss Lashbrook said. “Par
ents can do more than anyone
else in helping their boys and
girls plan and carry to comple
tion the projects selected.”

ect to completion, a 4-H Club
member if further benefited in
these ways 4-H work offers train
ing in better practices in the
home, on the farm, in the work
shop and in the community. 4-H
work offers creative and con
structive activities and training in
social life through such club ac
tivities as hikes, trips, games,
picnics, and summer camps.
Through such activities the 4-H'er
learns to work and play with
others and to make friends easily.
Lauds Leadership
Good leadership is essential 10
each club. Miss Lashbrook said.
"In this area we are fortunate
in finding adults who are willing
to give their time to lead a club
or to be an assistant leader," she
said.
