The only exceptions arethose 4—H organizations and affiliated groups which have requestedand been granted tax exemption as separate entities.*Thoae 4-H organizations granted tax exemptions asseparate entities should not use the group exemptionnumber.

*It is most important that all other 4-H organizations andaffiliated groups filing Fbrm 990 enter the 4-H federal incometax group exemption number 2704 in the item requesting exemptioncode number.

Failure to use the proper number will result in: (l) rejection by theIRS master file computer system of the Form 990 as submitted by the4~H organization, (2) special review of the submitted information--including comparisons with records for prior years -— and otherpotential consequences.

Questions and answers regarding filing and reporting requirements areincluded in Section II of the ES, USDA publication "Tax Exempt Statusof 4-H Organizations Authorized to Use the 4-H Name and Emblem." Each4-H organization and affiliated group has an obligation to file theAnnual Information Return, Form 990 when its gross income ingi£§_fiscalyear exceeds $5,000.

The deadline for most 4-H organizations filing Form 990 is May 15 —- iftheir fiscal year is January 1 to December 31. For this reason, Exteneienpersonnel responsible for 4-H organizations at county, district or Statelevels should be requested to remind those 4wH units involved o theobligation to file and to notify them of the proper group exemption numberto enter on Form 990.4~H - [9 (3/76)

Do you appreciate a pat on theback? A sincere thank you? Materialrewards? Like trips, scholarships,medals, certificates, savings bonds?Such opportunities abound in 4-H foryou, your club, your county.

There are many people, whothrough their encouragement, make itpossible for you to achieve, to berecognized. People like 4-H leaders,parents, extension agents, specialistsand state leaders. And let’s not forgetthe donors—local, state and national—whose interest and assistance motivatemembers to greater achievement.

Awards such as those listed on thefollowing three pages of this circular,are given in specific 4-H projects andactivities. Take a minute to scan thelistings. You may want to get addition-al information on one or more.

Considerable emphasis in the selec-tion of winners is given to a 4-Hmember’s participation and accom-plishments in the respective program.However, the mejnber’s experiences inleadership; personal, community and

civic responsibilities; and his workwith other projects and activitiescount heavily, too.

The selection and certification ofwinners of awards at all levels is theresponsibility of the CooperativeExtension Service and each state deter-mines its selection process and datesfor submitting required materials.

Don’t miss the chance to be con-sidered for recognition. Check withyour 4-H leader for the deadline dateand materials to be submitted.

There are few regulations governingparticipation in 4-H awards programs.However, those few are important.National regulations are outlined onpages 6 and 7 of the National 4-HAwards Handbook for Local Leaders.Your local volunteer leader or countyextension agent may share a copy withyou and advise about state regulations.

While you may be too young toattend National 4-H Congress (at least14), you are not likely to be tooyoung to earn a county medal. Allowyourself time to achieve.

Get an early start on those allimportant 4-H records. They will comein mighty handy as you build a file ofproject pictures, news clippings, rib-bons, correspondence and other mater-ials which will show your progress.

Perhaps you’re in your teens. Yourprojects are growing in size and num-ber. And you have given demonstra-tions, participated in judging events,dress revue, and exhibited at the fair.

Your fellow 4-H’ers have noticedyour leadership potential and electedyou an officer of the club. You havetaken added responsibilities in junior

or teen leadership, and your influencemay go beyond the club to county,district and state 4-H groups. You’reactive in organizations outside of4-H—school, church and community.

What are you waiting for? Compileand submit your record book forcounty and state recognition.

While a high percentage of 4—Hawards are offered only to current 4-Hmembers, some scholarships are avail-able to former as well as presentmembers. These are listed on page 4 ofthis circular under the headings—Summary of College Scholarship FundOfferings and Summary of AwardsPrograms in Several States. Exceptionsare Alpha Gamma Rho and Santa Fewhich are for present members only.

Special scholarship applicationforms are available from county exten-sion agents and state 4-H office.

Clubs, groups and counties can earnrecognition too. See the listings forAutomotive, Conservation of NaturalResources, Health and Safety.

There are opportunities in 4-H forinvolvement and fun with recognition.

furnithingt-cquipmcnl-howing

Creating living spaces that make forhappier more comfortable and care-free living is exciting. The resultsshould be both pleasing and practi—cal. This is what 4-H Home Envir-onment is all about.Your 4-H members are naturallycurious about and interested inspaces around them. You will behelping them discover new thingsabout the spaces they share inti-mately with their family andfriends. You will also be helpingthem to learn about the things intheir environment that influencethem most.

Ground RulesThere are no “right ways” or“wrong ways" for utilizing one'sliving spaces. What is satisfactoryfor one may be less pleasing orcomfortable for the next.A 4-H’er should not feel ashamedof or intimidated by his homesurroundings. He should be helpedto understand and accept them.

A Home Environment project doesnot need to cost a lot of money.Many learning experiences can befostered that do not require the useof money; just lots of imaginationand energy.

Getting StartedYour group may focus on homefurnishings, equipment or housing,or a combination of these. How-ever, all will involve color, texture,and design as they relate to livingspaces. So getting acquainted withthese elements is a good place tobegin.Color is the most meaningful medi-um of self expression. Help your4-H’ers get a “feel" of color bymaking a color wheel, mixing colorsfrom tempera paints, or makingcolor collages.Texture provides a richness to life.Help your members develop a sensi-tivity to texture by planning anature walk and touching the barkand leaves of different trees, or

touching the surface of differentitems within a room while blind-folded.Design gives size, shape, and formto objects. Help your group becomemore aware of design by askingthem to identify several similaritems, such as a baseball, basketball,and tennis ball, or show how a "T"or arrow added to lines of the samelength can make them appear dis-similar.

Helps for YouRequest a free copy of “Color-Texture-Design . . . in Space" fromyour county extension office, orwrite to the National 4-H ServiceCommittee. The member manualsuggests several activities for thebeginning, intermediate, and ad-vanced member. The leader guidewill help you plan activities forproject meetings and provide infor-mation on working with 4-H mem-bers.

IMPROVING COMMUNICATIONS

THROUGH 6H PUBLIC SPEAKING

platform presence and personality

Be rested. Eat sparingly before speaking. If you are nervous,breathe deeply and slowly several times just before you areintroduced. Relax your arms, legs and body as much aspossible. Walk'to the lecturn briskly. Smile. Look as thoughyou are alive and glad to be there. Stand at the side of thelecturn in full view of the audience. Later, you can movebehind it to refer to your notes. Stand quietly, easily erect.Gesture naturally or not at all.

interest your audience

Remember your audience is interested most in matters thatpersonally concern them. Human interest stories win atten-tion. Use words that create clear pictures. Be specific. . .honest. . .natural. . .friendly.

begin a speech

Have a lively, friendly—and short—opening. Arouse thecuriosity of your audience. Begin with a direct question, arelevant quotation, a startling fact. Show quickly that yourtopic concerns your audience.

make your meaning clear

Be sure you thoroughly understand your subject. Describethings people do not know in terms of things with which theyare familiar. Clarify abstract statements with specificexamples. Cover only one or two points. Restate yourmain idea but use different phrases.

end a speech

Never talk about stopping. Stop. Always stop while youraudience wants more. Close with the idea you want remem-bered longest. One sound ending is to summarize the mainpoints; another is to pay your audience a sincere compliment;third is to leave your audience laughing or smiling.secrets of good deliveryPractice speaking on a voice recorder if you can. Play it backto yourself. You’ll be surprised to hear how many words youslur, or mumble or mispronounce. Know your speech. Donot read it but have a brief outline on hand. This will makeyou feel more confident.

Speak from your chest, not your Adam’s Apple. This appliesparticularly to young boys or girls who may have high-pitchedvoices. Talk to your audience as though you were talking toone person. Stress the important words. Pause before andafter your important ideas. Relax. Remember the audienceis rooting for you.observe the professionalsImprove your speaking ability by observing and receiving helpfrom the professionals. In some areas, Toastmasters Clubs andother civic organizations help train 4-H'ers to speak in public.They also provide judging and critiques at speaking events.

Arrange a visit to a radio or television station. Ask stationpersonnel to describe the characteristics of a “good radio orTV voice.” Have them explain the mechanics of producing anddirecting a radio or television show. Explore ways ability andease in public speaking can offer career opportunities.

It’s for youth, boys and girls, 9 to 19, living in town,cities or on farms. And you'll have fun in your 4-H 'group as well as having beautiful, fresh fruits and veg-etables, unspoiled by diseases, insects, mechanical in-jury or contamination.In addition, you'll know the personal satisfaction ofdoing things just right: Preparing the seedbed. Usingthe best seed, planting not too shallow nor too deep.Using enough fertilizer, but not too much. Keepingplants watered; lawn sprinkled. Controlling weeds andinsects. These are skills you'll develop with the helpof your volunteer leader in the 4-H gardening pro-gram, and you'll learn more about agricultural andhorticultural sciences including how plants grow in-doors as well as out.You'll share your newfound skills with family as youwork together and enjoy the fruits of your labor.Your participation in the 4-H gardening program canbe the beginning of your family’s canning, freezing

'and food processing "company,” helping with thefood budget, improving nutrition and adding to theenjoyment of the family throughout the year.Space a problem? Don’t let that stop you! It’s surpris—ing the amount of fruit and vegetables that can begrown on a 15 x 25-foot space or even alongside yourhouse or fence with the help of supports on whichplants climb. Using a vacant lot, with permission, orsharing in a community garden area sponsored by amen’s garden club or other civic organization may bethe answer to your space problem.Perhaps you’ll have vegetables and fruits to sell infront of your home or in a nearby “farmers’ market."Extra produce can provide cash for your labor andmay open the door to a selling career or othergarden-related opportunities. Also, you may enjoy ex-hibiting fruit and vegetables at a community or coun-ty fair and earning recognition for yourself.

As you harvest your crop for family, friends or mar-ket, here are a few things your 4-H leader can helpyou do as you plan for another year: Study each typeof vegetable or fruit you grew. Did your family likeit? Did you have enough? Was the size of your gardenokay? Did you attempt too large a space? Answerscan provide a guide for next year’s activities.Clean up your garden after harvest. Remove allmaterials used to support plants and chop any re-maining vegetation.
