The Ins And Outs Advantages RAINY LINN Extension Home Economist "I pledge heart, Jicallh and hands i piuuyu my neaa, and Hands for oaK, Martin Pfeka, Stanley my club, my community, and my country." Thai's the beginning Pudolkiewicz, Martin Sorafin and ending of the National 4-H Club pledge, A pledge that is Joseph Dudzic, Walejiiy J'ow full of noble thought. But more important, a pledge that is re- a Jo)ln Smu and Thoma pealed by 4-H Club members al every 4-H Club meeting. Biri-ryn. Of course just saying soniclhing docs not mean it is going to have much impact on one's mind. Thai's why 4-H Club ac- wc Mr and Fyd tivitics and projects are designed to make the word of the 4-H 1 and lr afld Mrs pledge have real meaning.

Jolln Fyd a and There are many advantages lo a 4-H Club for young people in the community Each member must have a project like gardening, sewing, photography, raising an animal, etc. It Is the responsibility of each member to lake care of his project, do his oivn work, and keep records of what he does. Eiich club has a set of officers whose responsibility is to conduct the business session at each meeting. Each elill) is responsible for planning and carrying out its own community program. The idea of all this is (o give young people and their families (lie cvperience of working and playing together.

And (his is such a necessary experience in growing up. Learning to be a good citizen must start at a very early age. The 4-H member gets involved in all kinds of activities outside of community, loo. There are county, district, slate and national events to challenge each member. In Venango County, we have such activities as: The 4-H Kick-Off Parly a family affair Leadership development meetings for leaders and members.

Work parlies at the 4-H fairgrounds 4-H Camp Demonstration, Public Speaking and Judging Contest' A 4-H Parade And, of course, the 4-H Fair The advantages of a 4-H Club 'could go on forever. Every community, town, or country, should have a group for its' young people. The procedure for organizing a group is very simple. You need at least six interested young people between the ages of 9 and 19 years. You need at least 1 adult who is willing to be a leader.

You need a place to meet like a large living room, church basement, community building or such. If you have all these items, contact us at the Agricultural Extension Office, Courthouse, Franklin, and we will be glad to help you organize a 4-H Club. About the greatest thing you can say for a group of 4-H'crs is, "There is never a dull moment." C. Sliivcly Of Emleiitou Succumbs EMLENTON Charles L.

More than 3,000,000 resident aliens sojourn wilh us in our (hey are subject to various rules pertaining to (heir special stalus rules about immigration, registration, naturalization, and deportation. But what about their everyday activities? Legally, how do resident aliens stand iu comparison with citizens? a much do we "vex" them? In most respects, they have Iho same status as citizens. They have the same right to Jive in physical safety, (o win redress in our courts, lo exercise freedom of speech, prbss, and religion. They hnvc the same guarantee against double jeopardy, sclt-incriminalion, cruel or unusual punishment, the taking of their properly without due process of law. And they have the same duly lo obey traffic laws, to live up to (heir conlracls, lo pay income taxes.

Nevertheless, they may lawfully be set apart in ways logically related to their lack of citizenship. Thus, aliens are denied 'the right to vole. For, traditionally, the power of the ballot belongs only to those who, by birth naturalization, are members of the nation's political partnership. What about earning a living? Here, too, discrimination based on ralional grounds is lawful. For example: A law banning aliens from the liquor Irade was held valid, because that occupation has a potential relationship to crime.

The court said lawmakers might reasonably except less regard for our laws from aliens, who do not share in the governing process, than from citizens, who do. On tlie other hand, an effort lo keep aliens out of the laundry business was. field unconstitutional. The court could not sec any peril to the public welfare In the mere doing of laundry by aliens. Pointing to the "equal protection" clause of Uie Consiiluition, (he court said: "The Fourteenth Amendment is not confined lo the protection of citizens."
