The play cast was also asked to perform as a part of the program at a Cancer Benefit. The club's vocal ensemble sang at the Cowley County eighth grade graduation exercises, at the Hackney Baptist Church and at six other community programs. At Christmas the club packs decorated cans of cookies and candy. The older members carol the older residents of the community, delivering one of the cans to each, family or person. While the older members are caroling, the younger members make popcorn balls and punch for refreshments when the caroling is over.

4 KANSAS 4-H JOURNAL 4-H Plays Most of the plays presented at community programs by the Pleasant Valley Club are about 10 minutes long and take only two or three evenings practice. This gives even the busiest members an opportunity to participate. Those families whose chores make it too difficult to practice work up individual reci- tations at home. Thus, no one is left out. Music in 4-H Two active music groups were organized by the club. The chorus and vocal ensemble are directed by Mrs. Emery Baker, local music teacher. Mrs. Baker paid high tribute to the group's efforts for the character building it gave the participants. "For instance," Mrs. Baker

This will give you confidence and ofttimes you can learn better by hearing your own voice. Study Often A good judging bulletin can be kept in the bedroom or den and referred to when time per- mits. Continued reading and talking keeps these words fresh in your mind and increases your vocabulary. Older members and good judges refer to these books frequently. Look at livestock at ever opportunity. Judging skill cannot be acquired just by reading books. Attend judging schools as of ten as possible. Don't wait for your agent or leader to call and ask you to go. Listen to the discussion of each class placed. This gives you an opportunity to find out why the judge placed the class as he did and to " eaueor ff4a/nd " compare your thinking with his.

You Can Serve .2016 for Summer

Want some new ideas for those summertime meals ? These Clay County 4-H girls and their project leader, Mrs. Eddie Gerriets of the Grant Go Getters Club, have five suggestions for you.

0 Jeanine Martin, on the cover, is pouring punch at a formal tea many 4-H foods girls have for their mothers and other guests during the summer. For just that extra fancy touch, she added a marshmallow gardenia to the punch bowl. Raspberry Frost-Larry and Chapman MARSHMALLOW GARDENIA Henry Julia Ann With scissors cut marshmallows lengthwise into 3 or 4 thin slices. Dip fingers in confectioners' sugar; pull each petal to round one end. Next you moisten the pointed ends of petals with slightly beaten egg white. Overlap 4 or 5 petals for bottom layer, and press together. Use 4 or 5 petals for the second layer; then add 4 more on top. Now you twist 2 or 3 petals together for the center of your flower.

What Makes a Perfect Salad? Barbara Caldwell shows some of the ingredi- ents for a perfect salad (and salads are favorite summertime dishes in many homes). Some of the items she recommends are spices and herbs, salad dressings or oils, P.nd greens-lettuce, cab- bage, parsley and endive. Fot color and flavor she suggests green peppers, radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Add onion for flavor and a wooden bowl and uten- sils for aesthetic value.

Raspberry Frost and- A pretty girl (Julia Ann Chapman) , a cool drink (Raspberry Frost) and a delicious morsel (an open face sandwich of cheese, green pepper and olives) are a happy combination for Larry Henry. The green 'peppers make flower decorations on top A Perfect Salad-Barbara Caldwell An Individual Salad-Unita Weller of the cheese sanidwich. For the frost, cook 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water for 5 minutes; chill. Add juice of 6 lemons (about 11/2 cups) and 31/2 cups of cold water. Put a spoonful of crushed berries into bottom of six glasses. Fill with crushed ice; pour over lemonade.

The Cool Salad Larry Henry looks properly appreciative as A Cool Salad-Larry Henry and Barbara Caldwell Barbara Caldwell offers him an attractive lazy susan salad plate. Included on the salad plate are tomato wedges, cu- cumber slices, black olives, cheese, lettuce, cold meat slices, pepper strips and hard boiled egg slices.

An Individual Salad Unita Weller suggest you can perk up your summer meals with red ripe tomatoes (sliced to form petals) stuffed with cottage cheese. Green pepper strips and a stuffed olive top it off. There will be numerous opportunities for 4-H'ers to judge this summer. Many clubs will

I have judging as part of their tour ; most counties will have judging schools for livestock, crops and dairy as well as home economics projects. There will be district schools, too, as well as opportunities at the county fair. Teams representing the county will judge at both the Mid America and Kansas State Fairs in September. See your county extension agent for details.

Beginning with a well tended lawn, Thom first added a picnic table and two lawn chairs he built in his woodworking project. Then he added outdoor lighting which involved erecting a large permanent pole and con- structing a smaller portable lamp pole. While he was doing the wiring for the lights, Thom installed electrical outlets at convenient locations so he could enjoy the use of his record player and portable electric cooking equipment. Thom has been in 4-H for 7 of his 17 years. During his 3 years in electric project he has given seven electric demonstrations-"Installing a Single Pole Light Switch", "Making an Electric Weiner Roaster", and "Coordinated Woodworking and Electric", just to name a few.
