Hungry campers need no urging to on- 

 swer the 7:30 a.m. breakfast bell. Club 



members assigned to waiting tables on 

 a rotating basis already are at work. 



Discussion groups meet under the trees 

 in the early morning session. Leader of 



this particular group was Rodney Weber

Swimming naturally is a popular class at 

 4-H leaders camp. Many farm boys and 

 girls who have little opportunity to learn 

 how to swim receive instruction during the 



sessions. AH rules oi waterfront safety are 

 in force during the swinmiing periods. No 

 swimming is permitted unless the East Bay 

 lifeguards ore on duty. 



Tomorrow's 



By CRESTON FOSTER 



THE future of agriculture is in good 

 hands. That's the impression you get 



from watching Illinois youth in ac- 

 tion at the state 4-H Junior Leadership 

 Conference at East Bay. 



The conference presented a good 

 cross section of the best 4-H junior 

 leaders in the state. More than 350 de- 

 legates from 81 counties attended, rep- 

 resenting' 35,000 club members 

 throughout Illinois. 



Keyed to the idea of developing 

 leadership, the philosophy of the con- 

 ference was well expressed during the 

 session in these words: "There is greater 

 need than ever before for the vision, 

 clear judgment, sound planning, per-

 which we believe can best be developed 

 in the open country. Farm life and 

 work continually present new situ- 

 ations. Our standards of farm life must 

 constantly be improved if our state and 

 nation are to make progress and if our 

 democratic form of- government is to 

 be perpetuated." 



The pictures on these two pages are 

 an attempt to show a typical day at the 

 4-H conference. At best they show only 

 a part of the activities since each of 

 the six days of the program was filled 

 to capacity with various phases and ap- 

 proaches to the general theme of 

 leadership. 



Special training in practical work 

 was afforded members in the classes on
