A Poem From Mrs. Eby... —HIS MOTHER— “Mother-in-law” they say and yet somehow I simply can’t forget, Twas you who watched his baby ways, who smiled on him with loving pride, When first he toddled by your side, And as I think of this today, Me thinks, that I’d much rather say “Just Mother”. “Mother-in-law” but Oh! twas you who taught him to be kind and true; When he tired almost asleep, ’twas to your arms he used to creep. And when he stubbed his tiny knee ’twas you who kissed it tenderly When he was down you cheered him too, and so I’d rather speak of you as “Mother”. “Mother-in-law” they say and yet somehow I never shall forget, How very much I owe to you who j taught him to grow, You trained your son to look above, you made of him the man I love, And as I think of that today Oh! then with thankful heart I’ll say j “Our Mother”. {Unknown) ————————————————————————-—— i -- PLANNING A WEDDING? The Frontier ---- . Homemakers Corner... By Catherine Indra Home Extension Agent This is national 4-H club week. While youngsters play the most active part in the club member ship, the parents whole-hearted co-operation and support deter mines the success of the program. The parents of 4-H members are naturally interested in 4-H club work. It is the greatest vo luntary youth movement in the country, and the future of agricul ture will be judged by the things his sons and daughters learn in the club program. From forty to ninety per cent of local leaders themselves are parents, and they make very desirable leaders. A continued increase in enrollment depends on an increasing supply of lo cal leaders plus the whole heart ed cooperation of parents. In what ways, can parents con tinue to contribute to the success of the program. Encourage your own boys and girls to join and invite your neigh bor’s children to become mem bers. Your interest and help will make yo*ur boys and girls stay 4-H members. Lack of encourage# ment often leads to youngsters dropping out of club work after one or two years. Father and mother can be lib eral with time so that 4-H boys and girls can take good care of their 4-H projects. Remind them too, to help keep records up-to date and complete. Help them find a place to keep their re cords and booklets. Parents can read the 4-H project circulars to help understand the work. Parents, too, can help a lot by guiding tbe project work. Help the youngster but let them do the work themselves. Then when the youngsters win or lose in 6011 tests, help them to do so with the right: attitude. Attend club'meetings and other 4-H events.' See what interesting meetings and programs they Have. The 4-H members will be mnra than nlpncpH WflUP vrwi Encourage the club to meet at your home. Help the kids to get to club meetings if the club cov ers a large area. Act as a local leader or help get a leader. Support the lead er selected. Make your children feel that their 4-H activities and interests are an important part of the family activities. Compli ment them when they do a good job and encourage them when they lose interest. All in all, it takes the good will and help of parents to keep en thusiam high. The big help of parents in 4-H club work lies in their approval of the 4-H pro gram; their willingness to pro vide v tools ' and material with which their sons and daughters work; encouragement; timely ad vice and attendance at 4-H meet ings and activities. Did you know that wallpaper has been used in Europe for about five centuries. It of course, has been used in this country since early days. It was original ly called “poor man’s tapestry”. It came into use in humble homes as an imitation of expensive tex tiles used by the wealthy. Wallpaper has no real disad vantages. Sometimes patterns are too profuse or too dull, but this is not the fault of the material. Papers are now available for any kind of furniture, any way of living, any special factor. They range from solid colors through textured effects. Patterns may be small or large. Patterns may also be scenic or mural. Most papers have a dull mat finish that may or may not be washable. Glossy, washable pa pers are also available. Finally, there are the less usual types, which include flock papers that [KNOW YOUR /\ U.S.S.
