; Mixing Bowl 4-H’ers
Win ‘Best’ Club Trophy
Fairs are fun in spite of all the
work involved; but the hardest
work of all probably is the de
cisions which have to be made.
Although your home agent was
not a judge, she did overhear
various comments to know judg
ing is no snap. The worth of an
item is carefully weighed before
the prize is awarded.
KEEN COMPETITION
At our Fair, a trophy is award
ed to the “best” 4-H club of the !
year. Since the home agent is the
only person who has worked with
the clubs and the 4-H leaders, it
is up to her to decide which club
should receive and keep the tro
phy until the next Fair. Here is
another decision hard to make.
Each club has its own merits;
there should be 18 trophies to be
awarded instead of one to 18
clubs. On the basis of this year’s
club activities; completed pro
jects; number of club members
who went to 4-H camp, number
of club members who participated
in Fair activities, number of
times parents of club members
have told of values their son or
daughter have received from his
or her 4-H club—all these con
siderations in mind, I believe the
trophy should remain with the
Mixing Bowl 4-H Club.
The club is under the leader
ship of Mrs. Mary Cullison and
Mrs. Henning Blunck. Congratu
lations Mixing Bowl Club. An
other year a winner, and the tro
phy is yours for keeps!

"WARN'T THET DUCKY?'’
Two avid local sportsmen. Bob
Burkholder and Dr. C. C. Bailey,
have been chuckling to them
selves the past few days over an
incident that convinced them of
the authenticity of their duck de
coys.
“We were patiently sitting in
our blind”, Dr. Bailey recalled.
‘‘Everything was quiet and peace
ful as could be, no ducks, no
geese, no nothing, just the wind
—when suddenly WHAM-BANG
over went one of our decoys”.
Hit dead-center, the decoy was
later found to contain 12 shots.
