633 Holt Boys, Girls
in 1954 4-H Work
This week more than two mill
ion members of 4-H clubs in
America unite head, heart, hands
and health in “improving family
and community living” — the
clubs’ theme for 1955.
The 4-H club members in Holt
county last year carried on a
wide variety of projects in farm
i n g, homemaking, community
service and other activities. They
raised livestock and poultry,
grew gardens and field crops,
conserved the soil, sewed, cooked,
preserved food, and improved
their homes.
In keping with their slogan,
they learned by doing and fol
lowed their motto “to make the
best better.” For a well-rounded
life, they enjoyed play and re
creation as well as interesting
and worthwhile work.
“Character development and
good citizenship are the most
important goals, according to
Harry Stokely, assistant Holt
county agent.
Through their club programs,
4-H’ers learn a sense of home
and community responsibility,
habits and attitudes of good cit
izenship, skills for useful, pro
ductive work; application o f
science to everyday farming and
homemaking; and the business
side of efficient farming. They
also learn the source of reliable
information about their problems,
the art of getting along with peo
ple, how to practice good health
principles, and what makes for
happy home living and congenial
family relations.
In Nebraska, there were more
than 27,000 boys and girls, be
tween 10 and 21 years of age, en
roled in 43,400 projects last year.
According to Wes Antes of the
University of Nebraska, state
4-H leader, this number exceeds
1953 enrollment by 1,321 mem
bers with an increase of 3,570
projects completed.
Holt County 4-H’ers did a
remarkable job in 1954. They
stood third in the state in mem
bers enrolled and completed
and projects enrolled and com
pleted.
They were on hand and made
a favorable showing in exhibits,
judging and demonstration at the
state fair. They participated in
several out of the county contests
in judging, public speaking, pie
baking, livestock and home eco
nomics exhibits, and talent shows
and came up with more than
their share of blues.
“We can be proud of our 633
Holt county 4-H boys and girls.
It was the application of the 4-H
motto, “Make the Best Better”,
by our 140 4-H leaders, 4-H par
ens and 4-H interested friends
that has made Holt county stand
out in the superior quality of its
rural youth,” Stokely added.
Already 1955 looks more pro
mising for an even better record,”
he concluded.

Ford passenger-car sales to customers outnumbered
those of any other make by thousands*
AND ITS EASTS’ TO SEE WHY!
Ford is the leader in ride
Ford was first in its field to introduce Ball-Joint
Front Suspension—the greatest advance in chassis
design in 20 years. For ’55, it’s even better. Springs
are set at an angle to smooth out even the tiniest
bumps. It’s the new Angle-Poised Ride.
Ford is the leader in styling
Motorists know that Pord has set the style trend in
the industry for years. And now, with styling inspired
by the fabulous Thunderbird, Ford is farther out front
than ever!
Ford is the leader in V-8 power
Ford was first in its field (by 23 years) to provide the
advantages of V-8 power. Since that time, Ford has
built over 14,000,000 V-8 engines—more than all other
makers combined! For 1955, Ford offers two new and
mighty V-8’s, as well as a most modem Six—all with
the split-second response of Trigger-Torque power!
