Of the many projects Bench undertook as a 4-H'er, public speaking seemed to serve him best in later life.

"I went to state with my speech and won a blue ribbon, so when I was thrown in with a mate of sportswriters and interviews when I was very young (in the major leagues), I knew how to stand on my feet. I felt I had a pretty good grasp of the English language, that I wouldn't embarrass myself and could carry on a conversation with anyone," Bench concluded. Four-H is more important today to all Americans than it has ever been, says Dr. C. J.

Naquin, state 4-H agent with the LSU Cooperative Extension Service. "Once almost exclusively a rural farm organization, it now has almost 80 per cent of its membership in the towns and cities. Sometimes thought of as mostly a boys club, it is 55.9 per cent girls. "Four-H in America today is 4.2 million boys and girls belonging to 138,563 clubs and special interest groups. Add to this total 805,711 youngsters in the 4-H Expanded Food-Nutrition Education Programs and 766,658 enrolled in a 4-H Instructional TV Program series and you have nearly 6 million participants from ages 9 to 19 getting involved.

What do Johnny Bench, Rosalynn Carter, Roy Rogers, Richard Petty and Charlie Pride have in common? As diverse as their backgrounds and talents may be, they all share the common bondage of having been 4-H Club members in their youth.

These famous Americans and millions more have worked at making the 4-H motto, "To Make the Best Better," words to live and build by.
