GROUNDWORK for the State Memo- 

 rial 4-H Club Camp moves into sec- 

 ond gear as the committee begins in- 

 vestigating sites with a view to choosing 

 a suitable location. This phase of the 

 work will take time, as there are many 

 angles to be considered in locating a 

 $100,000 enterprise such as the Illinois 

 State Memorial Camp will be. 



Plans for the camp were discussed at a 

 recent meeting of the State 4-H club 

 advisory committe, made up of farm and 

 home advisers representing all areas of 

 the state. The cofrimittee feels justified 

 in starting the work of choosing a site, 

 since pledges of financial support have 

 been coming in with gratifying regularity. 



The deadline for setting this year's 

 quotas has been moved ahead one month 

 and is now Feb. 1, 1946. This action was 

 thought advisable since letters were late 

 in going out and a busy season has made 

 many demands on 4-H club work. 



The proposed State Camp will be used 

 primarily for 4-H groups — local, 

 county and district as well as state • — 

 for 4-H club conferences and events, and 

 for other groups sponsored by the Ex- 

 tension Service. A section of the camp 

 will be open the year round. 



As the best technique for preparing 

 gold star lists, individual county com- 

 mittees are urged to take their 4-H club 

 enrollment lists to the county clerk's 

 office for checking with official records. 

 The complete roll of gold star members 

 from all counties will be placed in a 



permanent setting at a suitable place on 

 the Memorial Camp grounds. 



County quotas unpublished to date 

 are: Madison county girls promise $140; 

 Greene county has $1000 now ready for 

 the fund (this figure represents $1.50 

 for each 4-H member) ; Coles county 

 will give $1 per member; Scott county 

 has paid its quota of $100 and will re- 

 peat this figure in 1946; Piatt county 

 girls are giving $185; Champaign county 

 girls $500, 



Livingston county is at the top of the 

 heap pledging $1200; Kankakee county 

 also pledges a substantial $1000 to 

 $1200; Marshall-Putnam promises $1.50 

 per member, which amounts to $537; 

 Stark county pledges $100 per year for 

 two years; Mercer county will give $1.45 

 per member or $542.30. 



Iroquois county's boys' agricultural 

 clubs will give $1.00 per member. Bu- 

 reau county is high on the quota list with 

 the promise of $2300 over a two-year 

 period. This is $1.50 per member each 

 year; Cook county will contribute $200. 



Miss Marcia Lucille Gove, Windom, 



Minn., went to Iroquois county as home ad- 

 viser. Oct. 1. Miss Gove graduated from 

 the University of Minnesota, worked as 

 county home demonstration agent in Iowa 

 for five years and since 1941 has been doing 

 county home demonstration work in New 

 Jersey. 



Mrs. Grace Whittington Graham, formerly 

 home adviser in Kankakee county, is sub- 

 stituting in Warren county until a home 

 adviser can be secured.
