rorton Hodgson had- the plea
nd privilege of presenting
-in-law, Robert G. Watt, |
.- the speaker at this week’s re
i juncheon meeting of the
1 ry Club.
v, Watt is an engineer is charge
of construction from Winter to
charlotte, N. C., for the Plantation
pipe Line and his account of the
. ~tivities and growth of this comp
anv was very interesting. :
The pipe line mowement was
fnaucurated in 1939, operatingl
from Baton Rouge, La., to Char
-Inite. N. C., and as_ late as 1941
03.000 barrels of fuel oils, gasoline |
and kerosene was pumped daily.
Each vear shows a big increase
and it is expected soon that this
d-ily average will be 358,000 bar
rels. The company also has pipe
lines in Tennessee, Alabama and
piother in South Georgia with
premen, Ga., as headquarter point
for these lines. At the end of his
tal, Mr. Watt answered questions
and among the first were: how
different products are pumped
through the lines without be
coming mixed, and another was
how they built the lines under
rivers, ete. :
At next week’'s Wednesday
luncheon, Sidney Smith, Gaines
ville. Past Disirict Governor, will
be the speaker.
President Ralph Snow announ
cod that Brant Dozier is a patient
in St. Mary's Hospital and that
Harry Holsapple is back home |

jects were completed. To complete
a project a 4-H’er must carry it
over a period of from four to 12
months, keep a record, made tn
exhibt ‘and frite a story of the
work done.
The 66,288 girls had an edge
over the 59,850 boys in the com
pletion department, finishing 225«
667 projects for the males. Per
centage wise, 81.1 percent of all
the projects started were finished,
Two Objectives
Two objectives of the National
4-H Defense Mobilization Pro
gram, launched in 1951, were to
keep physically and mentally
strong and to produce for home
and world use. These goals pro
bably accounted for the fact that
food preparation and preservation,
clothing gardening and health were
the most popular projects of the
year. Preparing and preserving
food claimed the interest of 67,025
members, many of them boys,
while clothing had 40,238 partici
pants, gardening 38.993 and health

poultry, with 22,082, swine, with
17,18 and c¢orn, with 15,186, were
other 1951 projects near the top

Pointing out that the 4-H staff
and county and héme demonstra=-
tion agents could not have su
pervised and counseled this many
boys and girls and projects, State
4-H leader W. . Sutton praised the
10,366 volunteer adult advisers for
their assistance with the program,
In 1951 the number of advisers in
the state increased by over 1,000,
At the end of the year around
30 counties, realizing the advisers
had contributed much to the 4-H
program, held recognition ban
quets, At the meetings 4-H leaders
were presented certificates of re
cognition for their service o 4-H.
Mr, Sutton, in citing ather fact
ors contributing to the successful
program in 1951, said that state
and national business organiza
tions offered over $50,000 in
awards as added incentive for the
4-H’ers to do better project work.
Competition for these awards
began on county levels with pro
ject achievement meetings. Six
district meets were then held, |
with 1.066 county winners partici=-
pation. Approximately 175 mern=
bers, representing 91 counties,
moved on to the Georgia 4-H Club |
Congress in Atlanta to vie for state |
championship. Thirty-one of these |
boys and girls won expense-paid |
trips to the National 4-H Club
Congress at Chicago. |

At this event six Georgians were 3
declared sectional and mnational
champions. Erin Turner, Bibb
county, 1951 State 4-H Club Coun- |’
cil president, was named com
munity relations winner for-the

ledgeville. Over 1,000 club mem-
S I e
bers, Agricultural Extension agents
and advisers attended this affair.

ferent jroi(lact fields held classes

icing. The following boys and girls
