Probably the question that first would be asked by any one not familiar with the 4-H Club program is what is the purpose of State 4-H Club Week. To answer this we would like to give the answer given by a club member when she was asked the same question. State 4-H Club Week is a con ference for 4-H Club members, a workshop, a contest, a place to meet and make new friends. It is a place to get together with old friends. A week of instruction by subject matter specialist and a week of fun and enjoyment. It is where 4-H Club members compete with each other in 4-H projects and activities by the use of stand ardized record book or by dem onstrations or both as an in dividual and/or a team. The 4-H boys have judging team compe tition in such things as Live stock, Dairy, Poultry, and Soils; and individual competition in tractor operator and coopera tive demonstration. For the 4-H girl there is com petition in Clothing demonstra tions, Peach Activity, Dairy Foods demonstration, Dress Revue, and the Poultry Barbe cue is open to both boys and girls. In addition to these just mentioned there is the whole range of projects and activities in which 4-H Club members compete with each other. All judging is done using the Danish system, namely a record must be worthy of recognition, then it is placed in either white, red or blue award group. With the blue being the highest aw ard, then red and white. To enter a 4-H record a boy or girl must be a 4-H Club mem ber, 14 years old or older as of January 1 of the current year and have been in club work for 3 years. After State 4-H Club Week the blue award winners are giv en the opportunity to re - work their records and re-submit them for further competition and the selection of state win ners to represent South Caro lina at the National 4-H Con ference in Washington and 4-H Club Congress in Chicago as well as other state awards.

Group formed to end giving aid to enemy As any American who has ever read a book or seen a Western movie can tell you, the lowest and most despicable of all creatures in 19th century America were those greedy and conscientious men who sold guns to the hostile Indians. There was, of course, a very good reason for this; the In dians were certain to turn right around and use those guns to kill men, women, and children. Therefore, any man who sold guns to the Indians was, in actuality, killing his fellow Americans and our fore fathers had the good sense to recognize this and to deal with those who traded with the en emy with great harshness. Times have changed! At this moment, in an Amer ican factory, goods and mach inery are being manufactured that will be sold to the Soviet enemy and its satellite-allies. While these goods and mach ines are “ non-strategic” in the sense that they are not actually guns or ammunition, they come close enough to be called “aid” to the enemy. For example, among the items licensed for export to the Soviet enemy and its allies are radio-active iso topes, rifle cleaner, all sorts of chemicals and petroleum pro ducts, automotive parts and a host of other things without which modern warfare cannot be waged. Moreover, even in those cases where the goods or machines cannot be used on the battlefield itself, the fact that we are supplying them to the Soviets makes it possible for the Soviets to use the pro ductive capacity that would have been needed to manufact ure them for out-and out war production. All of thia makes it pretty obvious that, in a somewhat round-about way, the Admin istration has got itself in the position of selling guns to the modern day “red men”. Protests against this sort of thing have been heard in Wash- Jr., William McCrackin, and Bill Bishop, Blue Award. They were first place winners and will represent South Carolina at the National Dairy Judging Contest at Columbus, Ohio, in connection with the North Am erican Dairy Show in October. ington but they have been both feeble and disorganized. Cour ageous and sensible members of the Congress like South Dako ta’s Senator Karl Mundt, Rep resentative Glenard Lipscomb of California and Indiana’s Rep- resenative Ross Adair have fought the Administration’s “Bridge Building to the East” policy. They need help in the fight, however. That help is now forthcoming. An organizaton is being formed around the nation to combat aid to the Soviet enemy.- Known as the Committee to End Aid to the Soviet Enemy (CEASE), it is seeking at least ten million signatures on peti tions protesting such aid. It also plans a massive educational campaign designed t 6 warn against the dangers involved in aiding the Soviet enemy. The Committee’s National Chairman is former Connecticut Governor and U. S. Ambassador John Davis Lodge. On its Board of Sponsors are such distin guished Americans as the form er Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Arthur Radford, USN (ret.), former Senator William F. Knowland, Adm. Ar- leigh Burke and General Arthur Trudeau. CEASE is now engaged in the formation of State organization which will carry out the enor mous job of getting the ten million signatures and of rais ing such funds as are requir ed to carry out CEASE’s am bitious educational campaign. Funds to finance CEASE, ac cording to Governor Lodge, are being raised among millions of small contributors rather than in appeals to a handful of weal thy donors. Lodge says this is being done in order to dram atize the tremendous popular support CEASE enjoys and thus to lend weight to its demands for an end to aid the enemy. CEASE National Headquar ters are located at 1061 Nation al Press Building, Washington, D. C. State headquarters will be announced when established. Seat belt use urged by SCHD Safety officials have long re cognized the value of seat belts in passenger cars as a means of reducing injuries resulting from a collision or overturning accident, and the State High way Department is supporting a drive to get all motorists to install and use these belts. Federal regulations make the installation of seat belts in all new cars mandatory. However, there are millions of older cars still operating on the nation’s highways which are not so equipped but should be, High way Department spokesmen de clare. As a part of its educational campaign to stress the benefits derived from use of these belts reports of fatal accidents in South Carolina made daily by patrol radio to headquarters in Columbia, now include data on seat belt use by drivers and passengers. This is a new entry on the report form. In the fu ture, accurate information will be available on the use of seat belts on the part of accident victims. Some legal authorities speculate that in the future, lack of seat belt use may con stitute grounds for a charge of contributory negligence in case of an accident. Safety research leaders, such as D. D. F. Heulke of the Uni versity of Michigan Medical School, have found that ejec tion is the leading cause of death in automobile accidents. Ejection cannot usually occur if the occupants are wearing the proper seat belts. In one study of fatal accid ents, 48 persons were killed by ejection from vehicles. It is be lieved that 80 percent of these victims would have survived by using seat belts. Another two percent would have lived if they had worn shoulder har nesses in addition to the seat belts.
