ADULT HOC eCOfia^ICS
There are continued requests each Kionth from individuals and groups forInformation on home problems, nutrition, etc. The secretaries try to give outbulletins and pamphlets, but Biost requests find their way to This month Igave two talks one on nutrition for parents of pre-school children and one onweight control for a TOPS group. ^ recently had a request from the County Welfareand Red Cross for help In a course they were giving- In training people to helpthe aged-and the' disabled. They know the help In other counties that can begotten at the Agricultural EKtenslon office. I really don*t know where I standIn this situation since when I was hired It was for home economics In the 4-Hclub program and at that tiw there was a hoiwj advisor doing adult w-ork.
Approximately 600 people participated In Judging Day, which Included divisionsof Livestock, Home Economics, Crops, Ag« Mechanics, and a General category, whichthis year consisted of classes In Photc^iraphy, Pollution, Entanology and Seeds.Momhers are required to give oral reasons to make the day riore eeucatlonal, ratherthan a guessing game, leaders prepare the classes to be Judged, listen to theoral reasons, do ell the tabulating and keep things running smoothly. It takes alot of work on the part of leaders. The council felt the day was vory successful,but are thinking of making It earlier In the year and possibly adding skills In¬struction to It.
CLOTHING LEADEP AND MEMBER jmmiHGMq took advantage of two aducatlonaf programs offerad by the Simplicity Company
last iTonth. Their mpresentativ@ presented a two-hour program In the Los Banosarea and did an exceptionally good Job of covering all phases of clothing fromfabrics, to selection, to cixistructlon. An audience of 130 4-11 leaders, Juniorleaders, hom»i economics teachers and students all found Information pertinent totheir SI fuatloi. A few weeks later, on the other side of the county, HcSwaln 4-Hhosted the Simplicity Traveling Wardrobe. The club rubers benefitted from theplanning, knowledge gained In mockillng, and clothing selection knowledge necessaryto put on the show and the audience gained from the Ideas In the wardrobe.
Our enrollr?«nt Is at an all-time high of 1333 members and 520 adult leaders.We have acquired substantial Interest In photography and Dog Care and Training.

rEOt CNAl Ft CLP DAY rVALUAT tOll
I am very much In favor of county staffs meetinn together to plan events, suchas Regional Field Day, and having a chance to cjxchange ideas. The small size'of thearea Involved and fewer people nive more of an opportunity for us to plan a scheduleof necessary decisions that Involve our councils and leaders, I would be aqalnstany attempt to standardize regional events and fit all county situations Into onemold, f-iavlng a chance to examine the effect the event has on nenfjers and Inpromoting 4~H, as well as the educational value. Is only possible throughflexibility and working together.
LOS DADOS FAIR
The supervision of the 4-H horrie economics exhibit seemed to fall, on me anainthis year, although because I had to be away on e key day, ! trU'd to arranoe aleader In charge and get some help from the fair, asking them to send out aclerkto help with receiving the exhibits. Chaos resulted, not because the leaderfailed, but because the fair did not have the exhibitors tags ready or bring outthe books for receiving when they were supposed tcx>. As a result, I think we arejustified In asking that the fair hire someone to he in charge of this homoeconomics exhibit.
- had a successful, productive meeting and camp plans will be • pat¬terned after last -ear^s carap. Last year's Junior staff was Involvod In theplanning, end participation by older members servlno as staff will continue.V?e will also use volunteer 4-H leaders as camp directors aoaln.
CX)^^1UM ITY ACTION PROQRAk^
Have met with GAP officials to see how 4-}: might be Involved In some oftheir programs. If there Is Interest among our older members, Jim and I haveoffered to supervise a self-detemlned project by older boys and girls that wouldInvolve creating recipes and preparing samples of dishes utilizing commodityfoods. Our goal Is to help people rt^celving commodity foods to utilize theirfoods In nutritious meals. By reaching all their senses, we think we would bemore successful In Influencing their diet than we v/ould bending them a recipe.The whole idea depends on finding Interested 4-H members to undertake this project.
Indications, so far, may find us with more campers than wo can accomodate,even though v/e have more room at our campsite. This Is a tribute to last year'sprog ram. and we plan to pattern this yearns carT> in, the same way.

ALL-STAF SET.FCTION
Tie selected four girls and three boys for 1971-72 All--Stars, After reviewingrecord books, the judges Iiad Tunclt with the applicants and then a grofip interviewwas held. Judges agree that a group Interview Is easier on the members thansenarate Interviews, and the judges get an cquall^r good picture of tie applicant.
He made this into a two-step mrocess this year since the selection processis lengthy. Throughout the vear we educated leaders, junior leaders and memberson the goals of tb.e program and we gave assistance on a club level on who shouldbe submitted for these awards, Tl?e result was representation from mora of the clubsand better quality records than In previous years.
An expanded selection corrsiiittee gave more leaders a chance to leam about theawards system, and more tboroughlv understand, the kind of youngster and the .kindof project -work'we try to encourages. ,Tfie first committee selected four medalistsIn each category. A second committee met the following xmel to select books to. re¬present us at state corrpetltion.

A greater number of meisber® than ever before exhibitedanimals and home economic®, and we certainly were well represented at the fair.
smmm camp
Crap is so attractive that we had more campers than wm had cabins for —but in order not to disappoint anyone we rented and pitched tents. %Fe hadclose to a total of 500, and everyone left with an enthusiastic Intention ofreturning next year. We expect next year we will have to plan for threesessions of camp, rather than the two sessions we had this year.

LEABEESHIP CO^rTElEl^CE
The Eeadershlii Conference at Davis seemed to run smoothly this yearand the 4-11*era attending felt it was quite infonsiatlve. The in-deptheesslona seemed to be very pertinent and well organised on the most part,although a fm# were quite boring and som.e of our advisor® need to reviewtheir teaching techniques* The youngsters who attend the conference areserious about learning and deserve an interesting and Informative session.
The *Tnstructors" of our Recreation cluster evaluated the total sessionand Individual sessions, but X wish I had had each participant In fay sessiongive a written evaluation of my session. I feel that the kids were in¬terested (they all came back after the first day), but now I only havemyself to use as an evaluator. Maybe each person giving a session nextyear could be urged to have each youngster write his Impression of thesession.
I might also convey my feeling® on the Diamond Star Program as it ■
works out at the conference. I think it would benefit the program greatlyto increase the niaaber of diamond stars and involve the® directly In someof the conference sessions. They have a great potential for telling othersof their activities and ideas, and here are eoisie people to Increase theranks of our Instructors.
In my session, '^Tun for Club Heetlngs^% w® had 80 participants, sodivided into three groups.. Two of the groups were taught by older naeebersand I think tdmt the two youngsters were extremely effective In workingwith their peers and stmtalnlng interest.
I heard the southern conference was a great success. It seems thatsmaller conferences might be more- effective.
The Csl Expo Steering Coaimittee show® how youngster® can acceptresponsibility and put on a good show. The members from our cotxitycertainly enjoy participating, -let*8 c^tinue to give our older membersthese opportunities.
