They en joyed sightseeing tours, parties, meetings and gazed at elaborate Christmas decorations along State Street Jim Jorgensen, 17, of Ames; Connie Ketelhut, 16, of Walton; Lionel Swanson, 18, of Stroms burg, and Helen Mathers, 17, of J. Jorgensen Connie Ketelhut Butte, represented the Com husker State in the automotive, health, dairy and canning pro grams. One of the highlights of the congress this year was the “pop" concert at Orchestra Hall, featuring Arthur Fiedler as guest conductor, two 4-H solo ists, and the Chicago Symphony orchestra. The Honorable Brooks Hays, Assistant Secre tary of State, discussed foreign policy, and Danny Thomas ap peared as a special guest for the Sunday assembly. Jorgensen began attending 4-H meetings eight years ago, before he was old enough to fill out an application. He has ac tively participated in many 4-H projects, but regards automotive u his favorite. It features the safe operation and maintenance of motor vehicles. Although this program sup ported by the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company is compara tively new, the firm has sup ported 4-H for 18 years. Miss Ketelhut probably repre sents one of the most health conscious families in the history of 4-H. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carrol Ketelhut, an aunt and an uncle have all been county or state 4-H health cham pions. Miss Ketelhut’s sister achieved national fame in this program a few years ago. In an effort to make people civil defense-conscious, Miss Ketelhut participated in the na tion’s first teenage survival test. Accompanied by three other girls, she proved she could sur vive in a cave-shelter for 34 hours. An old fashioned forge was used to control air circula tion and sacks of corncobs served to ward off radiation. For the past several years, county and state recognition has been bestowed upon the Busy Bees, a 4-H Health Club of which Miss Ketelhut is presi dent. She attended club con gress as the guest of Eli Lilly and Company. Young Swanson purchased his first dairy animal from his father 10 years ago. Today he is financing his education at the University of Nebraska with the aid of his herd of 13, and his dairy profits of more than $5,000. For two consecutive years, Swanson exhibited the top jun ior herd of all breeds at the county fair. His production rec ords won all-expense trips to the National Dairy Congress at Waterloo, la., for himself and his club leader. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Swanson, his trip was made pos sible by the Oliver Corporation, which supports the national 4-H dairy program. L Swanson Halan Mathers The oldest in a family of 10 children, Helen Mathers has made practical use of her can ning projects and estimates a savings of more than S250. She recalls her first experi ence with the cold pack method and says her brothers still tease about the “half pints" of apri cots which resulted. Since then, Miss Mathers has become an ex pert in preserving a large vari ety of foods. She canned almost 300 quarts this year. Miss Mathers has received the Ak-Sar-Ben special award for the top exhibitor for five con secutive years. She is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Emery Mathers. Almost 150,000 girls are en rolled in the 4-H canning pro gram which the Kerr Glass Manufacturing Corporation has sponsored for 33 years.
