Coyne Hardware WSm HOTEL LComant Tell of 4-H Club Week Activities i __ ] (Editor’s 'note: Murray and ] Benton Mellor, of Atkinson, in the following article tell about , their experiences at the 1951 ] Nebraska 4-H club week ac tivities.) I By MURRAY AND BENTON ] MELLOR ; The agriculture college cam pus at Lincoln was the scene of some 300 4-H’ers registering for a week of entertainment. Among the Holt county group there were 3 members and 1 leader. We were all sponsored by some company or firm. ( Those attending were Pat Boyle of Ringside 4-H club, of O’Neill; Murray and Benton Mellor, of the Clover 4-H club of Atkinson, and their leader, Helen Martens. As Benton was one of the dis 1 trict speech winners, he had to be there at 9:30 for the state contest. Radio station KFAB, sponsors of the speech winners, gave a special luncheon for the speak ers at the Comhusker hotel. WOW, sponsors of the soil con servation winners, of which Mur ray was one. garve them a spe cial luncheon. By midafternoon we were all divided into separate groups ac cording to age. The girls toured the home economics part of the campus. The boys toured the dairy, beef, hogs, sheep and poultry barns. Wednesday morning we were led in group singing by Mrs. Tullis. The main event of the day was the tour of Nebraska City, where we saw the famous Arbor Lodge. It was the first time for many of us to see this historical spot, and it really was an inspiration. Every morning we had an hour of recreation led by state in structors. Thursday morning we saw the pictures Miss Jo Ann Skaciorys had taken last sum mer in Europe. Jo Ann was an international fanrni youth ex change. She lived in the homes of 3 different families. That afternoon we toured our famous state capital where he heard a speech by our governor, and at a banquet that night we heard a speech by Chancellor Gustavson, on “T h e Power of Determination of One’s Mind.” Friday morning we went by train to Omaha. We arrived there at 6:30 and toured the 3 large packing plants, and were guests of the Omaha Livestock ex change for a luncheon. After dinner we boarded our special train and (moved over to North Omaha. The girls saw a beautiful style show at the Fon tenelle hotel. The boys were di vided into 2 groups—some went to the Beemis Bag company plant, while the others went to the Union Pacific shops. Their workshops cover 114 acres of land and they empjoy 4,000 men. It would take a lot of time and paper to tell all of the high lights and I think we have hit the most important ones. This was a trip that will be remembered by all who attend ed it, and we would like to make this a ehallange to all other 4 H’ers. JUSTICE COURT Robert W.
