7 AMENDING THE ACT OF JUNE 30, 1975 (NO.8-A), ENTITLED "AN ACT TO <--
8 PROVIDE FOR THE EXPENSES OF THE EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE AND
9 JUDICIAL DEPARTMENTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH, THE PUBLIC DEBT AND
10 FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD JULY 1, 1975 TO

17 UNFUNDED OBLIGATIONS; AND CHANGING CERTAIN APPROPRIATIONS TO
18 THE DEPARTMENTS OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, EDUCATION, AND REVENUE
19 AND TO THE PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC TELEVISION NETWORK COMMISSION.
20 WHEREAS, It has been demonstrated that the work of the 4-H <--
21 Clubs has been instrumental in developing an interest in
22 agriculture among the rural youth of Pennsylvania and provides
23 supervised training for the farm boys and girls and encourages
24 qualities of leadership among our youth; and
1 WHEREAS, It has been demonstrated that the apprentice
2 training offered 4-H youths has encouraged a scientific approach
3 to agriculture and thus increased efficiency on Pennsylvania
4 farms; and
5 WHEREAS, The most effective apprentice training for 4-H
6 members on selection, raising, fitting and showing of farm
7 animals has resulted in the creation of local county and
8 district shows, and also has created the need for a Statewide
9 show; the county and district shows have been financed by local
10 contributions; and
11 WHEREAS, The fast expansion of these shows and the necessity
12 of further expansion to meet the educational requirements of
13 farmers of today has made it impossible to finance these shows
14 beyond the county level entirely by local contributions;
15 therefore
16 The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
17 hereby enacts as follows:
18 Section 1. The sum of $30,000 or as much thereof as may be <--
19 necessary, is hereby specifically appropriated to the Department
