GAZETTE Opinions Virgil Pinkley, Editor & Publisher 4—The Gazette Thursday, March 5, 1944 4-H Club Activities Have Influence in Urban Areas Head, Heart, Hands and Health. These are the 4 H's that form the club name of some 2.3 million industrious boys and girls throughout the country who today began celebrating the annual observance of 4-H week. While 4-H popularly is associated with rural pursuits such as livestock raising, it is surprising what an influence the program has in the lives of youngsters in a rapidly-growing urban community such as Orange County. Bruce Campbell, farm advisor with the University of California Extension Service, reports that there are more than 600 boys and girls enrolled in the county's 24 4-H Clubs. These youngsters are on the move, as indicated by such intriguing club names as the Villa Park Eager Beavers, Fullerton Feeders, Breeders and Seeders, Buena Park Happy Hayseeds, Anheims Krug. the clubs and their project groups. Popular among the 4-H projects is clothing, foods, electricity, shee beef, rabbits, poultry, vegetable crop woodworking and junior leadership. Many of today's 4-H'ers — the majority, it is safe to say — will find their way into adult occupations they have little or no connection with or cultural pursuits. But through these activities in 4-H, they will learn responsibilities, attitudes and skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. 4-H Clubs are part of the national educational system of Agriculture Extension work in which land-grass colleges, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and counties share. In California the county offices of the University of California Extension Service are centers for the 4-H program. We congratulate these youngsters their technical advisors and adult leaders.

And you may have to pay damages. Yet if the injured person was also at fault, the courts may not allow him to collect for harm done. He was himself "contributorily negligent." Some exceptions to these rules: In a recent case Suzie, driving west, came upon a "Yield Right of Way" sign. Though she looked both ways, a truck obstructed her way. There may have been several tracks to cross, and railroad cars may have blocked a driver's view of oncoming trains. The rule of "last clear chance" further limits the rule of "contributory negligence." A person may have been at fault in the beginning, say in jaywalking or parking where he shouldn't, but nobody, seeing his difficulty, has a right to run him down or to crash into his ear. One must avoid an accident if he can, no matter who is to blame. Failure is the Men In Service MARINE CORPORAL DENNIS J. JURMAN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A.

Yet if the injured person was also at fault, the courts may not allow him to collect for harm done. He was himself "contributorily negligent." Some exceptions to these rules: In a recent case Suzie, driving west, came upon a "Yield Right of Way" sign. Though she looked both ways, a truck obstructed her view. By the time she got into the intersection, along came Barney out of the north. Lickety split. Suzie braked hard, but too late. Barney struck her, not braking his car until after the crash. Barney admitted that he had not seen Suzie until the crash. He was looking the other way. Barney sued Suzie because she did not yield him the right of way. But the court ruled against him. For having yielded, a driver may then go ahead. Other drivers must yield the right of way to him. Suzie had yielded as best as she could, and then gone ahead. Barney was driving too fast to yield. Even though a driver has the legal right of way, he must still drive with care due to weather and driving conditions and his own safety. Thus a driver coming upon railroad tracks ought to stop, look, and listen before crossing. But this doesn't relieve the railroad itself from taking due care. The rule of "last clear chance" further limits the rule of "contributory negligence." A person may have been at fault in the beginning, say in jaywalking or parking where he shouldn't, but nobody, seeing his difficulty, has a right to run him down or to crash into his car. One must avoid an accident if he can, no matter who is to blame. Failure to do so is legally almost as if he injured the helpless but careless victim on purpose.

There are safe investments and risk investments—and ones that are in between. Depending upon how much risk you want to take, your money can be invested in a variety of ways. Your savings, however, are another thing. This is money you do not want to risk—no READING MATTER By Ralph & Erwin Pearlman Question: Is a child's reading problem the result of an emotional problem?—Mrs. M. L. Comment: Our experience generally has shown the opposite to be true. As a child grows and continues to read poorly, if at all, his parents become concerned. They keep harping about it, nagging at the child. Their concern is justified, but the wise father and mother who take this concern to an expert for help instead of constantly talking about it to the youngster are acting to avoid emotional difficulties. A poor reader who hears on all sides about his handicap and finds little or nothing being done to help him surmount it becomes unsure of himself. He soon considers himself a failure, develops an emotional problem. To avoid such emotional difficulties, seek competent professional help immediately upon discovering that your child is a poor reader. Question: How do I prepare my four-year-old for reading? — Mrs. L. N. Comment: Living in itself is the greatest laboratory for preparing a pre-school child for the great adventure of reading which will come to him in kindergarten or the first grade, depending upon the school he will attend. Start a reading preparatory program by taking your child to unusual places—the zoo, a farm, museum, a fair, the beach, a fire station. Explain things to him. Wherever a youngster goes, whatever he sees and hears, prepares him for reading, develops a vocabulary with which to start when he enters schools and begins to learn reading. Introduce him to books, read them to him, encourage his questions, give him good understandable answers at his own level. That way your child will be ready for reading when the time comes for him to learn how. The Pearlmans invite your questions about reading problems. Send them to READING MATTERS, 429 So.
