"-IT- UAiuau vtuv MISS SHIRLEY WAGNER Leaders Of Tomorrow BY GLORIA MOSER Graduating from club mtmbtr to club Itadtr is no simple task for most young men tnd but in tht 4-H clubi which flourish in this county tnd throughout the natioii the transition fi an every day occurrence. Four-ITers Itarn through thtir club work to ttke up the reins of leadership at an early of this training Shirky Louise Wagner, 17-year-old Washington it strving as a junior 4-H ieadtr while itili a club mtmber her- The second of four children, Shirley lives on a 200-acre dairy farm just two miles from Keedysville. a farming background and a deep love for the soil and the "country air," her interesf in 4-H wcrk begin just as $oos she was old enough to join a club. Now after more than a half-dozen years as a 4-H'er, ihe is junior leader of the 4-H Girls' Club in Keedysville.

While remaining in the club as a member, she is the oldest girl both in age tnd length of membership! As a junior leader, Shirley teaches the young girls (between 10 and 12 years old) the same techniques of cooking, sewing, handicraft, grooming and home management which she learned as a youngster. Shirley teaches these girls during their bi-monthly meetings, but puts in much more time in planning their projects and social events. At present, she is helping the 4-H'ers with their sewing projects- teaching them how to fit patterns and cut materials. The sewing, as with all other club projects, advances as the girls grow older and become more proficient. Starting with the simple ABC's of sewing, Shirley teaches the small girls how to make needle- books and pin cushions with simplified stitches.

-they learn these techniques, they graduate to aprons, then skirts and blouses and as grow to Shirley's own age, dresses, suits and more difficult sewing projects. This same procedure is followed in all club work. In the canning field, the girls can six pints of food their first year in 4-H. As they learn more about preserving food retaining nutritive, values, they double the amount so that the total increases each year with their increase, of knowledge. Cooking and canning go hand-in-hand for the 4-H'ers, so that this also includes the preparation of all types of food.

The baking and desserts projects are perhaps the most popular with the girls--and this often finds Shirley preparing all sorts of delectable delights for club demonstrations. Shirley, as a matter of fact, is an old hand at the art of demonstrating. About two years ago, she won the county championship in demonstrating dairy foods among 4-H girls. As a result, she won a trip to the annual 4-H Club Week at the University of Maryland, and there placed sixth in the state finals among 4-H girls. She has also won countless blue and red ribbons with her sewing and canning at the Hagerstown Fair, and has helped her club win ribbons for its fair booth.

Sewing is Shirley's biggest interest, although she has completed 21 projects during her 4-H club work. She has made more than fifty garments in the past few years. She makes practically her entire wardrobe since it's "cheaper to sew than, to buy," and also sews for her mother and her ten-year-old sister, Beverly. Shirley's 4-H sewing has, in fact, turned money-making project. She seWs for her school friends and is especially in demand for making skating and dancing costumes.

Although the age limit for 4- H'ers is 21, mirny active workers remain in the club by joining the 4-H Senior Council. Although Shirley has four more years to go, she has already joined the council in preparation for that day. Most 4-H'ers can join the council. Those interested are required to attend a certain number of meetings. They are then elected to the they display the leadership in hand, heart, head and health for which the four H's stand.

The council, at present, is planning for a gigantic "Fun Night" on March 14th, when 4- H'ers from every section of Washington County will get together at Washington School for games and folk dancing. Even though Shirley lives on a dairy farm, she doesn't go in for actual dairying. Her time, instead, is devoted to household chores. She cooks dinner each evening for her parents. Mr.

and Mrs. John Wagner, sister Beverly, and two brothers, Benny, 19, and Jimmy, eight. Shirley loves to cook, especially fried chicken and layer takes, and delights in trying out new recipes her unsuspecting family. Although, most of her work at home is devoted to woman's work, she is quite familiar with every phase of farminj. Two years ago, as a matter of fact, she represented the Keedsyville Farm Bureau in the annual Farm Queen Shirley is JL senior this year at Boonsboro High she is enrolled in the academic course.

She plans to enter nursing soon after-graduation and has already been Accepted by Sinai Hospital in Biitiniore. as i tide at Sinai last summer, and thus is already acquainted with nursing, procedure. Her 4-H work in meal planning and home management will, she believes, stand her in good stead in the nursing profession. Exemplifying the 4-H traits of leadership and service, Shirley teaches a class at St. Peter's Lutheran Sunday School in Keedysville and sings on the church choir.

She is also an active member the Pythian Sisters in Keedysville and a student leader at school. Her spare time, when she finds any, is devoted to reading, mostly fiction, tnd to more 4-H work --her handicraft projects making stuffed toys and delicate Last Church Hlghl Scheduled Tonight Mrs. Fronk Woodwork To Spook At Prttby- torion Church Mrs. Frank T. Woodward wiH Be speaker at a "church family night" program at the Presbyter- the concluding meeting in series on "The World Mission of tht Church." A congregational supper will bt served at o'clock in the recreational hall of the educational building.

Interest groups for children, young people and adults will be held from 7 to 7:45. Mrs. Woodward will speak to the adults at 7, and colored slides of Presbyterian mission work in Meshed, Iran, will be shown in the chapel at 7:45. The public is invited. In the five years since she first went to Iran in 1947, Mrs.

Woodward has seen political tension increase and opposition to any teaching from outside grow stronger. Yet she writes of sue- cessful daily vacation Bible schools conducted in Meshed, and an effective Friday Bible School which is really Sunday School held on Friday, the Sunday of Moslem lands. She tells of visits to neighboring villages where tht people are nearly always curious enough to listen to the missionaries and look at the pictures they show, and are often friendly and deeply interested in the gospel message. A part of Mrs. Woodward's work has been hospital evangelism through the mission hospital in Meshed.

Recently this work, as, well as regular church services, has been greatly restricted because of Moslem interference. In addition to her mission work, Mrs. Woodward cares for her home and two small daughters. Mrs. Woodward is a native of Seattle.

She attended Seattle Pacific College and graduated from the University of Washington. She also studied at Multnomah School of Bible and at Biblical Seminary in New York. Before going Iran, she worked a brief period in Tennessee under the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian U.S.A., and has found this experience excellent preparation for her work in Iran, Navy Moms Plan MeetTkursday The local Navy Mothers Club will meet Thursday at 7:45 p.m., at the home of Mrs. Clinton Stover, 15 East Cemetery Street, Funkstown.
