â4-H-Room to Grow,â was the theme for National 4-H Week to be observed by nearly 900 Noble County members from Oct. 3-9, 1976. Alan Ader, Extension youth agent, said there would be no formal celebration of the observance in Noble County, but each of the 30 4-H clubs in the county would continue with their general activities. Several townships were going to be conducting their 4-H achievement programs during the week.
