MISSION: SMILE!

With some people, one gets the impression that “Mission-Smile” is“Mission-IMPOSSIBLE!” Our ‘image,’ projected to those with whom we liveand work is a collection of habits. Needless to say, each person is a conglomer-ate of good and bad habits. The likable person is the one who has establishedthe ‘happy habit’. We create the habit of speaking to people; BUT have wecultivated the habit of giving a smile with our ‘good-mornings’I? Like puttingwhipped cream on strawberry shortcake, it REALLY makes it better.

You’ve all heard that it takes twice as many muscles to frown as it doesto smile; it never mentions how many muscles it takes to keep a ‘dead-pan’.We are convinced, from the number of people doing it, it requires no musclesto keep a poker face. Since you are interested in exercise, why not exercisethose smile muscles, be sure that they accompany each ‘good morning' . . .‘hi’ . . . ‘goodnight’ throughout the day; pretty soon it becomes automaticand you have that extra “whipped cream” and everyone DOES like youbetter for it.

The expression you wear on your face is the most important part ofyour apparel. Our faces show the passing of time, but our expressions showwhat we’ve done with it! We all get wrinkles, they’re just plain wrinkles whenwe frown, or have a dead-pan expression, BUT when we turn them up, theydisappear into that marvelous asset called . . . A SMILE!!!

A smile needs no interpreter, it’s the same in every language!

"LEARNING ANOTHER NAY OF LIFE BY LIVING IT”

North Carolina State University

AVAILABLE FOR TALKS ABOUT TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Dale Safrit recently returned from theCaribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobagowhere he spent six months living andworking with Trinidadian families.Although the citizens of the formerBritish colony speak a form of Englishand enjoy one of the highest standardsof living in the Caribbean, the varioussubcultures of the two-island nationdiffer vastly among themselves and fromours here in the United States. Whilein Trinidad and Tobago, Dale lived withChinese, Negro, and East Indian families,thus learning first-hand about theirfoods, religions, and traditions. Dalestates, ”Worshipping with a host familyin a Roman Catholic church was notentirely different from my own ChristianProtestant background. But worshippingin a mosque with male members of one ofmy Islamic host families or helping toprepare for Divali, the Hindu festivalof lights, were completely new andfascinating experiences for me!”

Dale describes the political climate inTrinidad and Tobago during the recentUnited States intervention in the neigh-boring country of Grenada -”l was neverreally afraid for my personal safetyalthOugh the Trinidadian government wasadamantly opposed to the American action.Several times I was stopped by peopleon the streets who would shake my handwhile saying, 'God bless American; Godbless Ronald Reagan; God bless the Yanksfor saving Grenada.I On the other hand,twice I was spat upon by total strangerswho were extremely mad about what myfellow Americans were doing just 29 milesto the north!”

Dale Safrit and Trinidad h-H'ersvisit a calving operation duringSenior A-H Camp.

GRASSROOTS AMBASSADORS FOR UNDERSTANDING

IFYE is an international program in which young people from the United States liveand work for six months with rural people in other countries. In exchange, cooper-ating countries send delegates to the United States for a similar experience. Theprogram is conducted by the National 4--H Council on behalf of the CooperativeExtension Service of the State Land-Grant colleges and universities and the U. S.Department of Agriculture.

‘ Since its beginning in l9h8, the IFYE program has sent 2,847 U.S. delegates to 68countries throughout the world. During that period 3,005 foreign exchangees have-visited the United States. More than 150 of the foreign delegates have lived withNorth Carolina families.

OBJECTIVES OF THE IFYE PROGRAM

IFYE is founded on the principle that understanding among people is the foundationfor world peace. By providing young people with an opportunity to “learn anotherway of life by living it,” the program helps them to better understand the problemsand attitudes 0f other people.“

lFYE's share their experiences with youth groups, rural organizations, civic clubs,and individuals in their own country, and thereby further understanding among worldneighbors. The typical IFYE travels about 20,000 miles overseas and at home insharing their experiences to at least 50 groups and more than 8,000 people.

How IFYE Is FINANCED

The North Carolina h-H Development Fund sponsors one half of the delegate's fee forIFYE Representative and YDP. The delegate is responsible for the other half.

NATIONAL COMMISSION ON EXCELLENCE IN Much discussionEDUCATION FINDINGS and controversy con—

tinues to surroundthe recommendations made by the National Commission on Excellence in Euducation inApril of 1983 in their report A Nation At Risk: The Imperatives for EducationalReform. No matter what your reaction to the recommendations developed by thecommission members, though, the statistics and findings they used to formulatetheir opinions have relevance for all of us involved in youth development. Someof these include: I

- Some 23 million American adults are functionally illiterate by the simplesttests of everyday reading, writing, and comprehension.

- About 13 percent of all 17 year olds in the United States can be consideredfunctionally illiterate. Functional illiteracy among minority youth mayrun as high as 40 percent.

- Average achievement of high school students on most standardized tests is-now lower than 26 years ago.

— Over half the population of gifted students do not match their testedability with comparable achievement in school.

- SAT scores demonstrate a virtually unbroken decline from 1963 through 1980.Average verbal scores fell over 50 points and average mathematics scoresdropped nearly 40 points. College Board achievement tests also revealconsistent declines in recent years in such subjects as physics and English.

- Both the number and proportion of students achieving a score of 650 or higheron the SAT have declined dramatically during the same period.

- Nearly 40 percent of all 17 year—olds cannot draw inferences from written,material; only one-fifth can write a persuasive essay; and only one-thirdcan solve a mathematics problem requiring several steps.

- There was a steady decline in science achievement scores as measured bynational assessments of science in 1969, 1973, and 1977.

-_Between 1975 and 1980 remedial math courses in public four-year collegesincreased by 72 percent and now constitute one—fourth of all mathematicscourses taught in those institutions.

- Average tested achievement scores of students graduating from colleges isalso lower.

- The Department of Navy reports that one—fourth of its recruits cannot readat the ninth grade level, the minimum needed to understand written safetyinstructions. Without remedial work they cannot even begin, much less complete,the SOphisticated training essential in much of the modern military.

— The "average citizen" today is better educated and more knowledgeable than theaverage citizen of a generation ago - more literate and more exposed tomathematics, literature, and science. Nevertheless, "the average graduate"of our schools and colleges today is not as well educated as the averagegraduate of 25 or 35 years ago, when a much smaller preportion of our populationcompleted high school and college.

- Although one and one-half million new workers enter the economy each year fromour schools and colleges, the adults working today will still make up about ‘75 percent of the work force in the year 2000.

- In one survey, more than 75 percent of all those questioned believed everystudent going to college should take four years of mathematics, English,history/U.S. government, and science, with more than 50 percent adding twoyears each of a foreign language and eConomics or business.

r Students have migrated from vocational and college preparatory programs to"general track" courses in schools. The proportion of students taking a

' general program of study increased from 12 percent in 1964 to 42 percentin 1979. -

- Only 31 percent of recent high school graduates completed intermediatealgebra, only 13 percent completed French I, only 16 percent completedgeography, and only 6 percent completed a course in calculus.

- 25 percent of the credits earned by general high school students are inphysical and health education, work experience outside the school, remedialEnglish and math, and personal service and development courses.

- Two-thirds of all high school seniors report less than one hour of homeworkper night, and although grades of an average student have risen, achievementhas declined.

- A 1980 state-by—state survey of high School diploma requirements revealedthat only eight states required high schools to offer foreign languageinstruction, but none required students to take the courses. Thirty—fivestates require only one year of mathematics, and 36 require only oneyear of science for a diploma. '

-'In 13 states, 50 percent of the units required for high school graduation maybe electives chosen by the student.

- One-fifth of all four-year public colleges in the United States must acceptevery high school graduate within the State regardless of the program followedor the student's grades.

- About 23 percent of the nation's more selective colleges and universitiesreported that their general level of selectivity declined during the 1970'sand 29 percent reported reducing the number of specific high school coursesrequired for admission.

- A recent study by the Education Products Information Exchange revealed thatthe majority of students were able to master 80 percent of the material insome of their subject matter texts before they had even opened the books.

- Expenditures for textbooks and other instructional materials have declined by'50 percent over the past 17 years. The budgets for basal texts and relatedmaterials have been dropping during the past decade and one-half to only .7percent today. '

- A study of the School week in the United States found that some schools providedstudents only 17 hours of academic instruction during the week, and the averageschool provided about 22.

Admittedly, these statistics reflect national trends and may or may notaccurately portray what's happening in our c0unties in Ohio today. But they areuseful in identifying "which way the wind's blowing" across the country and areuseful as we consider long-range needs and interests of youth.

IYY THEME PROPOSAL - 4-HGreening The World - l985 IYY

Situation: Many countries throughout the world recognize the importance of

trees and forests to the quality of life. Trees as a natural resource

improve ecological balances, provide people with shelter, fuel, oxygen, shade,

wildlife habitat, recreation, and many wood products for everyday living.

Since l950, forests have shrunk by half and by the year 2000 only two giant

forests will remain according to the Christian Science Monitor.

Stressing the importance of trees and forests to our everyday lives has always

been an important goal of the CES and 4-H youth programs at national and

State levels (including planting, management, harvesting, and utilization

of forests and the management of trees and forests in our cities and

communities to enhance our quality of living.)

In fact, many 4-H youth forestry educational materials have been developed,

i.e., "What's a Tree to Me" developed for urban and rural youth by the

National 4-H Council in cooperation with International Paper Company

Foundation and USDA, Extension Service, 4-H.

The 4-H and Natural Resources staff of the USDA Cooperative Extension Service

can provide the leadership to coordinate a world-wide effort for youth to

participate in an educational program on trees and forests and their

relationship to peOple and the quality of life. Our world's youth could make

a significant impact on the importance of this environmental need by actively

planting trees during 1985 and beyond.

An International "Greening the World" Committee could network with other

youth and forestry organizations throughout the world to provide leadership

and coordination. Cooperative Extension staff have participated in an

intensive International Exchange Program, have an understanding and

appreciation of Agricuiture and Youth Educationai Objectives, and a

commitment to worid understanding and peace. C00perative Extension

staff and forestry organizations throughout the worid could 1end its network

to a very exciting and rewarding program for the 1985 IYY and the nextA!

decade.‘

Lunch at a typical Spanish restaurant, then on to Jerez de laFrontera.JEREZ — seldom visited by Americans, but is famousworldwide for its’ white wine known throughout the world asSherry. Many of the enormous vineyards and winerys are stillowned by descendents of the original English families who ex-ported Sherry to England during the reign of Henry Vll.

Late afternoon arrival and time to have a relaxing change of pace...aswimming party at our lovely hotel before dinner (tour host).DAY 8 ALGECIRAS TO TANGIERS, MOROCCOThis morning we will make a very special visit to theEscuela Ecuestre Andaluz. Horse lovers love Jerez. Some of theworld’s finest and best educated horses are trained here featur-ing the Spanish riding school education. These “Dancing Horsesof Andalusia” are world renowned. Here too in Jerez is theSpanish Army Cavalry stud farm.Quick lunch (no host) because we’re off to Algeciras, themysterious pirate port and gateway to Africa.
