The youths work to conserve energy, assist in agricultural production, and help improve health and nutrition habits of the community. In the process, the 4-H'ers develop good citizenship and leadership traits and acquire skills that will help them in later life. Youthful enthusiasm and energy, combined with adult guidance and support and working together in a common purpose that's the 4-H story in 1974. And we support the efforts of 4-H'ers. their parents, their leaders and alumni "to make the best better." And we would encourage our young readers, who have plenty of enthusiasm and our adult leaders who may wish to volunteer their time and talents to get involved in 4-H and help "make it happen." With the many problems we face as a nation, it is refreshing to see our young people ready and willing to help bring about solutions to these pressing concerns.

Enthusiasm and optimism has always been an admirable quality of American youth. Their vigor inspires all of us to do a better job in coping with our problems. Youthful exuberance, combined with the guidance and experience of adults provides an unbeatable combination. The results of that cooperation are evident in the 4-H program. We salute the combined efforts of 4-H'ers and their leaders "to make the better" on the occasion of 1974 National 4-H Week.

October 6-12. The theme of the annual observance is "We Can Make It Happen." Those five words emphasize the commitment and cooperation of nearly 5.3 million youths and 560,000 volunteer leaders working together to solve common problems.
