Description
Just what is 4-H Day?
by Sharon Reser, Jr. Leader
February 27, 1958 Maybe some of you new 4-H parents are wondering just what this "thing" 4-H Day that your 4-H boy or girl is talking about, really is. In explanation it is a day set aside yearly (usually in February or March) when the 4-H members from all over Shawnee County meet to give demonstrations, promotional talks, project talks, musical numbers, folk games, and one-act plays. Any 4-H club member may participate in the competition. Each entry is judged by an out of county agent who is assisted by a Manhattan College student. Each boy or girl who participates earns a ribbon, blue, red or white according to the judges discretion. Those who win top blue in demonstrations have an opportunity to compete in a run off whereby the best demonstration is selected to go to the Regional on March 22 at Baldwin College.
Top blue plays and promotional talks, and folk games selected at County 4-H Day are the ones who participate at Regional.
All in all it is a day of excitement, work and fun for 4-H boys and girls and their parents and any other interested parties who care to attend. Even though your 4-H child doesn't plan on an entry, it will be an education in 4-H if he or she attends.
See you at Seaman high school Saturday, March 1.
4-H Day in limelight at Seaman
by Sharon Reser, Reporter
At the February 13, 1958, Shawnee County 4-H Council Meeting, the discussion on whether or not to divide the demonstrations at the 4-H Day into two age groups was voted on. The Council, after lengthy discussion voted to leave the demonstrations as is, due to the lack of demonstrations to be given by 4-H'ers over 14.
Just as last year, each Community Leader will report the number of ribbons (blues, reds, and whites) that are required by the respective club to the Extension Office. They will then be sent to the leaders and distributed to the participating members.
Clubs were selected to run the concession stand, but Rossville was not in the list.
Regional 4-H Day will be held March 22 at Baldwin College.
Each club should discuss and make a decision as to whether they feel a member should be allowed to enter more than one demonstration at 4-H Day next year. It was also discussed whether to combine club members on model meetings and instrumentals. This will help the Council to have a better 4-H Day next year.
The 1957-58 membership for Shawnee County totals 728 members, 110 below last year. Four more members per club would bring this total up.
Clubs should elect Round-up Delegates at April meeting.
The Council decided to accept Dr. Lattimor's plan for a Rural Health Program. A committee of Mrs. Wooster, Penny Schade, Phillip DeDonder, and Lou Ann Theilman was appointed to work with the HDU and Dr. Lattimor on the project.
It was voted to have a Spring Garden Show on June 9th. Members enrolled in Garden and Home Beautification would be eligible to participate.
Shawnee County 4-H clubs still have $1130.00 to raise as their share in the fund to build the Williams Dining Hall at Rock Springs.
The Council voted to continue paying $2.00 to the leader who was going to attend Adult Leaders Conference.
The Council voted to accept the offer from the Rossville Reporter, and each club will be responsible for their own decision.
Dates to remember: Deadline for Sears Garden contest entrants, March 10; Pick-up Sears Garden Seeds, March 13; Livestock and Dairy Judging School, March 19: Deadline for enrolling in 4-H for year 1958, March 15; Electric School, April 14.
The program was given by Lawrence Benander, who told about his trip to National Club Congress.
