IIMOTION'FOR LIFE'I IN MOTION

I hope each of you have had an opportunity to.talk with or begin to supportone of the I‘Motion for Life” leadership teams which participated in the kick-off session at Betsy-Jeff Penn last month. ”Motion for Life” is a “bullet”and if nurtured could climb the charts straight through special interest pro-gramming into project and community club applications.

If you did not have a team at the retreat, invite one to your county to”show and tell'I about the program. Better yet, arrange for a team to come and”train” a group to begin the ”motion” in your county. We hope to profile theprogram over the next year to help it ”take off for you.” You will findenclosed a copy of ”Locomotion.”

1983 4-H DIGEST

MAY

SUPPORTED BY

This is the fourth in a series of 4-HDIGESTS providing informationabout private resource support tohelp expand and strengthen your4-H program.

In an age of environmental awakening, natural re-sources programs are a “natural" for'4-H members of

all ages. They combine the joy of learning and work-ing out of doors with serious aspects of the en-vironmental world around us.These programs have appeal to young people wher-

ever they live—on the farm, in small towns, suburbiaor central cities. They challenge youth to learn moreabout their environment and the difficult decisionsfacing our nation and our world. They help youngpeople to better understand such issues as land usemanagement, environmental quality, energy produc-tion and conservation; legislative needs in soil andwater conservation; and the development and use ofrecreation areas.

Every one of these programs is fun. At the sametime they provide a wealth of opportunities for youngpeople to get involved in community development,community service, and addressing and solving com-munity problems.

Most important of all, they give boys and girls

NATURAL RESOURCES

valuable skills and opportunities for decision makingand leadership that will serve them all their lives.

This issue of the 4-H Digest is designed to help youtake advantage of the resources available to you. Onpage two, you will find specific program objectivesestablished by the Cooperative Extension Service. Youalso will find a listing of the corporations that stim-ulate excellence in these programs by providing incen-tives, awards and other support at county, state,regional and national levels. You and your 4-Hmembers will want to write to persons listed to ex-press appreciation for 4-H support.Page three is full of ideas. They come from

members and leaders around the country. They work!They also relate directly to the objectives and willhelp your 4-H’ers to learn, as well as meet re-quirements for record book judging.The last page lists the many educational aids -

member and leader manuals, slide sets and specialpublications - available to help make natural resourcesmore interesting and fun.

IMPROVING YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLSIn addition to the materials and ideas in this 4-H Digest, you’ll want to use the many resources in your community.

Start with your county Extension office. Call on specialists at your state land-grant university, the Soil, Water or LandConservation Districts. Contact your state departments ofagriculture, fish and game, local wildlife associations, theUS. Park and Forest Services, the Fish and Wildlife Serv-ice of the US. Department of the Interior, or visit localnurseries and tree farms. Another important resourcewould be the donor companies who support the nationalawards programs in this area. You don’t have to be an ex-pert to be a volunteer leader in any of these areas. Youcan call on a wealth of local resource people for specificareas of expertise. You will find most of them willing towork with young people and share their knowledge. Letyour imagination be your limit. Besides it never hurts toask.Be sure to keep this issue of the Digest. Even if your

present leadership role is not in one of these areas, it canserve as a valuable reference for the future. A limitednumber of copies are available at your state 4-H office.

A ProclamationVoluntarism is a cornerstone of the American way of life and a fundamentalcharacteristic of our American heritage. The generosity and civic-mindednessof the American people has long been a noted aspect of our Nation.

Wecannot rely solely on institutions of government to provide remedies for ourproblems. Many of the solutions must be devised and supported by otherindividuals and private groups. Greater emphasis must be placed on develop-ing increased communitycommitment to voluntary service and on developingmore volunteer leaders. 'NOW. THEREFORE. I. RONALD REAGAN. President of the United States ofAmerica. in recognition of the vital contributions volunteers make to oursociety. do hereby designate the period beginning on May 1. 1983 until April30. 1984 as the National Year of Voluntarism. and I call upon the people of theUnited States and interested groups and organizations to observe this celebra—tion with appropriate activities of voluntary service and efforts to attractadditional persons to this valuable and rewarding tradition. -IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of April. Ain the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three. and of theIndependence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

Newsletter No. 1 June 6, 1983

THEN I KNEW WHY | WANTED TO BE AN lFYE

Today I realized the importance of the International Four-H Youth ExchangePrograms and all of my questions and doubts about whether or not I had done theright thing by becoming an IFYE were answered.

I've been away from home one month today. I left behind my family, myfriends, and my job to become an IFYE. I had always wanted to come to Englandand now almost like a dream, I'm here. I'm here in the homeland of thousandsof years of history, of Shakespeare, queens, and royal families. I have dis-covered all the mystic that I expected England to have plus a gentle, peaceful,friendliness that I had never imagined.

Often while preparing myself for my six months trip and even after Iarrived, I would ask myself questions. Why am I doing this? What am I doingit for? Having not come from a farm, not only did I have to learn to deal withbeing in a new land with new people, but I also had to adjust to the smell ofsheep and cow barns and the lifestyle of a farmer! It was a dramatic changefrom my familiar apartment surroundings.

I quickly learned that the life of an exchangee is a 2h hour a day commit-ment that is both tiring and demanding! So why would anybody ever want to do it?There are already thousands of ways to answer that that come to mind, but Ithink the following will explain it best of all.

I left my second host family today. I had been there for eight days. Justbefore I left their home, Mark, one of my host brothers, wrote something into abook about Lancashire (their home county) and handed it to me. l was told notto read what he had written until I got on the train. My host mom, dad, andtwo other brothers had left on Saturday for a vacation. It was very sad seeingthem leave. I had only been there for five days, yet I had grown to feel verycomfortable and ”at home” with them. On Monday night I had to say good-bye tomy host sister because she would be gone on Tuesday before I was to get up.That left Grandma and Mark. Grandma had been just that, the loving kind ladywith an apron that always brings back the fond memories of oatmeal cookies andyour childhood. I thanked her and left for the train station with Mark.

I knew Mark would be the hardest person of all to say good-bye to. I hadspent a lot of time with him over the past week and I had begun to cherish hischeerful ways and openess. He had become my first close friend since I hadarrived. He was both eager to learn about the United States and to explainEngland. We said our good-byes casually and then I was on my way.

-2...

Almost disappointed that it had not been any more of an emotional good-byethan it had, I sat down and began to wonder if Mark and his family had known howgrateful l was and how special I think they all are. Then I remembered the book.I reached into my bag, pulled out the book and read:

Friendship is what makes you think almost as much of someoneelse as you do of yourself. Over the past ten days we havegrown to think a lot of you. Love and Best Wishes.

Before I was half-way through, tears were rolling down my face. Mark'scasual attitude about my leaving was just as big of a front as mine had been.I knew then that I had made a new set of life long friends in my second hostfamily and a special friend in Mark. I was both very happy and very sad.

The ”Whys” of wanting to become an IFYE all became very clear then. I knewthe answers to my ”whys”. I had felt an accomplishment towards fellowship andcross-cultural understanding that comes about because of these sort of programs.That made me very happy. Yet at the same time, I was very sad because I wasleaving a family that I might never see again. But one that will always have aspecial place in my heart.

ENGLAND - THE LAND OF THE ROMANTIC ROOF

When most Americans think of the United Kingdom, they think of castles,green rolling hills dotted with sheep, Buckingham Palace and the Queen. Yet onething that might not come to mind as quickly as these images are the thatchedroofs. Thatched roofs are rarely found in the United States, yet they roman-tically dot the country side here - quietly reminding us of the history of England.

Thatched roofs are located mainly in the eaStern counties of England, but theycan be found scattered throughout all of the United Kingdom. Some layers of thisroofing have lasted for as long as 400 years.

Next to farming, thatChing is the oldest industry in the United Kingdom.Today, just as it was over 500 years ago, thatchers rely heavily upon the farmerfor their materials. There are three basic types of straw that farmers grow forthatching. They are long straw, reed, and combed-wheat reed. '

Long straw, also known as ”square head master” is grown for thatching becauseof its height. It produces less than half the weight gain that regular strawwould produce per acre, however. Therefore, it is expensive to buy. After it isgrown, it is cut with a binder. This is a very slow process. Next, it is putthrough a thrashing drum. (This is like a combine that does not move.) Afterthat approximately sixty percent of the work can be done on the ground. Whenthis type of thatching is being done, it almost always goes over the top of roofingmaterials such as tiles or slate. The straw is hooked on to the roof by woodenpegs. It is put on in two feet sections starting at the bottom of the roof and

The straw is hooked on to the roof by woodenpegs. It is put on in two feet sections starting at the bottom of the roof and

working to the top. Wire has to be placed over the straw, so the birds will notdestroy it. A straw roof will last for about 20-30 years. This type has apattern designed across the top. Each thatcher has his own design.

ngd_is very similar to straw. It will not bend so some straw has to beused at the top. Reed is put on from side to side and it goes on in much largersheets. Reed roofs do not roll under like the straw ones so they look muchsquarer. These roofs last for around 70-100 years.

Combed-wheat reed is cut with a binder like the other two, but only the earsgo through the trashing drum. This type is done mostly in Scotland and thenorthern parts_of England. Very little of this type is done in the east. It isput on in larger sheets and is “buttoned-up“ at the top - a process sort of likestapling! These roofs last for about 60 years.

The tools that a thatcher uses have not changed with time. They use thesame ones now that they did 500 years ago. Their basic tools include a legget(ADO horse shoe nails pounded into a board with a handle on it), a moaney (thisis used for dressing reed into corners), a shearing hook, a sheep shearer, andan eves hook. -

There are about 600 thatchers in England. It is a master craft that takesa long time to learn. Kanustan Hall is the only place that one can go to learnhow to thatch. They accept ten apprentices a year and it takes at least fouryears to complete the program. The only other way to learn the craft is tostudy under a thatcher in a father-son sort of relationship. Thatching used tobe solely a family tradition yet now over forty percent of the thatchers arefirst generation.

Thatching is one of the most secure jobs in England. Every good thatcherhas a waiting list that it will take two to three years to get to. Some arebooked ahead as much as ten years. Some of the reasons for thatching includeretaining the majesty look and because the thatched roof provides very goodinsolation. But another reason is because of government regulations.‘ Thegovernment has recently past a law that if your house has a thatched roof youmust maintain it. If you can not effort to and have a property value of lessthan L250 (roughly $h00), the government will allow you a grant to pay for.eighty percent of the cost. Approximately twenty-five percent of all thatchingis now done on government contract.

Thatching will soon get it's Hollywood debut. An American film star livingin Bel Air has decided he wants his roof thatched. The house which has 12 bed-rooms and 5,000 square feet is to be done in October of this year. It is goingto take two and one-half months and between AO-SO pounds of reed to do it. Thetotal cost will be a quarter million pounds (roughly $375,000).

WILL THE PERSON THAT IS REALLY SPEAKING ENGLISH - PLEASE STAND!

When I was selected to come to the United Kingdom I was both very excitedand relieved. Excited because I had always hoped to spend some time in England:I had never imagined that it would get to be six months. Relieved because Iwasn't going to have to learn another language - except of Course some Welshduring my time in Wales. Boy, was I surprised! It may be the same language butfolks they do not use the same Webster's we do. I haven't had nearly the sameproblems I would have had if they had sent-me to Spain or Sweden, but I havestill had my fair share of new words.
