Ten 4-H boys from Ringgold county are in attendance at the annual Iowa state boys' 4-H short course, which opened Tuesday
and closes today, at Iowa State College [present-day Iowa State University, Ames]. Official delegates are Dietrich

Dick TAYLOR, Lincoln Hotshots; Lee FARIS, Liberty Boys and Philip DUKES, Jefferson Happy Hustlers. Theme of this year's
Short Course is "Your Family, You Friends, and You." The principal speaker was Dr. Evelyn DUVALL, nationally known
family relations consultant, who made three addresses to the delegates. Several discussions on a variety of topics pertinent
to 4-H boys, included new developments in agriculture, social adjustments and human relationships. Then annual business
meeting with its election of new officers was held the second day of the Short Course, after preliminary campaigning by
the candidates for office. Informational sessions on agronomy, agricultural engineering and animal husbandry were
held, as well as talks on safety and wearing apparel by specialists in the field.
