W J i X Family is the Heart of 4-- H Jr O According to Webster, a family is the body of persons who live in one house and under one head. It is the body of descendants from a common ancestor or a group of closely related persons or things. No matter which definition of family you choose, it is all enriched when we spent time together with those other bodies doing something of common interest. is Family - the Heart of 4-the theme that the Utah 4-- Volunteers Association has selected for this year. It is in conjunction with the United Nations naming 1994 the International Year of the Family. Many of the 4-- programs and projects are ones tliat fit in with family activities. The 4-- H family club is an excellent way to expand the youths education, knowledge, and experiences. And what better way to do it than to have a parent right there beside them the whole way. There is probably not a better teacher and confidence builder than ones own family. ... 4-selling point is its flexible project plan. Not all members of the family need to work on the same project. A youth may choose projects that are of interest to them. 4-manuals are only guides, open to adaption to fit ones needs and the environment it is worked on.'

In our science class at school we have been learning about earthquakes, and the effect it will have on us in our area when and if one was to happen. We decided to doa survey to see if each teacher in our school had a plan, or a posted- sign visible to students. We found that none of the teachers had a posted sign, as to direct students what to do in case of an earthquake. purchase a season ticket with 19 events, all summer long, that gives you Please visit us at this location: To We decided to make signs for each classroom at the school and post them visible to everyone. We also would like to see the administration add earthquake drills. We feel they can be just as beneficial as firedrills have been. No one is positive that we will ever have an earthquake but, its better to be safe than sorry.

After; an earthquake they were told to help the injured, dont light matches or start a fire, because if gas lines are busted a fire could cause an explo- sion. An important thing for their houses was to know how to turn off the appropriate utilities. Clean up glass or dangerous spills, bolt down water heaters and gas appliances. Dont place heavy objects on the high shelves. Use the phone only for emergency and turn on a battery powered radio to listen for instructions. Also they should have an earthquake survival kit. If you want to know what are somethings you can do to be better prepared for an earthquake here is a iist of things to have and what to know in the case of an earthquake. react and withstand to an earthquake?

On Wednesday, January 12, 1994, we visited the elementary and held the practice drill. We each evaluated a different classroom during the drill. All students knew what to do and they all stayed calm . We talked to one of the school teachers at the elementary about the past earthquake. She told us that the building is secured well into the ground, but the ceiling and roof creaked during the earthquake. As you know, on January 17, 1994, California had major earthquake. This made the staff and (WIUSSiJSN students at Salina Elementary realize how important the information that we reminded them of, is. They thanked us for helping them get their earthquake program underway this year. They know that the earthquake procedures are very important and would be very helpful if there is an earthquake here. We would like to thank the staff and students for their help and coin fulfilling this assign- operation ment. We hope that by informing the students, they will know what to do in case of a real earthquake, at school and at home. I ! iltH -- . j ? |
