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.
Angela Lortie, 17, was one of some 22 youths representing Indiana as delegates to the 22nd Annual National 4-H Dairy Conference at Madison, Wisconsin. Angela was a senior at Central Noble High School and had completed eight years in the 4-H dairy project.
