What Does County Competition
Lead 4-H'ers To?
BY ANTOINETTE BROWNLEE
The initials, DPA, are meaning
less to many people. To 4-H’ers,
determined and far-reaching,
this is one step in the movements
of 4-H work. These initials signi
fy the term, District Project
Achievement. Competition in 4-H
has many phases. A 4-H’er moves
along with this program by local
competition, county competition
and district competition. This is
the place the word, district, fits
into the title. District competi
tion leads one to near Eatonton,
Georgia why there? Rock
Eagle 4-H Center is the location
of this event. Project work is the
primary activity in 4-H work. Se
lection of a project is on an in
dividual basis according to one’s
interest. Project work comes to
a great climax in district compe
tition. This links the first two
words of the title together for its
ultimate importance. Achievement
causes one to think of a type of
success or act of winning.
Through the levels of 4-H compe
tition through project work, achi
evement comes to you to cause
you to push on to higher endeav
ors.
District Project Achievement
became a reality to 4-H’ers, Jun
iors and Seniors, this summer on
June 1 Oth-12th. Months of work
came to its purpose at noon on
June 10th when 4-H’ers on a
Junior and Senior level, packed
their bags for an adventure at
Rock Eagle. A 4-H’er in Dress
Revue Competiton felt her dress
was most important to her, while
a 4-H’er in Foods and Nutrition
project had to pack up her kit
chen to prepare for this mean
ingful experience. With nearly
an hour’s ride on a school bus
and a thrilling feeling inside you,
you find yourself at the familiar
surroundings of 4-H land or Rock
Eagle. Juniors and Seniors re
ceive name tags, programs and
cottage selection and they're now
ready to meet competitors on a
district level.
Northwest District Project
Achievement this year featured a
theme, “4-H: Opportunities Sky
high,” which does very meaning
fully describe the 4-H program.
The setting for this theme in the
auditorium at Rock Eagle fea
tured a rocket showing the sky
high opportunities awaiting 4-
H’ers working to make the best
better. This skyhigh theme caused

| one to realize 4-H isn’t a program
! in which one works but never
moves forward.
The competition at this district
event takes place part of two
days with meetings in many build
ings on the locale. 4-H’ers, smil
ing as they go hurriedly to their
assigned meetings do their best
for their county, community and
themselves. Upon finishing your
demonstration and meeting your
competitors, one wants to know
his results—or “how did I do”?
A large, white-trimmed, bulletin
board in a nice location near a
shaded area just off Cloverleaf ,
Circle houses the winners by
projects. 4-H’ers flock to this
area day and night.
Another area of District Pro
ject Achievement for Juniors and
Seniors is the election of District
officers for the upcoming year.
A Senior assembly features a
meeting of 4-H’ers held to nomi
nate 4-H’ers who seek an office.
Some officers have already re
ceived a nomination by the Dis
trict officers and state leaders.
Campaign speeches are given by
these candidates and a regular
political campaign begins for
each candidate. 4-H’ers are greet
ed every moment by candidates
seeking their support. Four 4-H’-
ers from each county can vote in
this election. Usually around five
o’clock on the second day of
the event an election is held and
tension builds for the candidates.
The last night of this activity
features a parade of winners—
it is just as the words imply—
the winners in every project form
a parade around the auditorium
with much happiness flooding
their hearts. The Senior will now
go to State competition. The an
nouncement of the New District
Officers comes on the program at
this meeting, too. A candidate’s
name is called and a mad rush
for the stage begins. The excite
ment of this election comes to a
climax with the audience viewing
the new officers standing in a
row on the stage —very happy
4-H’ers are these!

Buy in season, when prices
are reasonable; but only what

WILDLIFE CAMP
BY ELLEN PINCKNEY
The 34th Annual 4-H Wildlife
Conservation Camp was held at
Camp Wahsega, Dahlonega, Aug
ust 5-11. One Butts County 4-
H’er, Ellen Pinckney, attended
this statewide camp.
The camp is designed to offer
a weekend of fun and experience
which will impress on the 4-H’ers
the importance of good conserva
tion practices and encourage the
application of these practices.
This was certainly accomplished
through program features such as
wildlife study, recreation, gun
safety, fishing, archery, and vet
erinary science.
Joint sponsors for Wildlife Con
servation Camp are the Sears-
Roebuck Foundation and the
Federal Cartridge Corporation.

Here is the River to some on avenue on their trek
westward to others on obstacle to be crossed.
Today it brings shiploads of needed supplies to the
towns along its bonks, carries their products to ware
house and factory.
Tomorrow it can escape those bonks, leaving death
and destruction in its wake. For the River must be ruled
by man!
Yesterday it brought pure water from mountain
streams to thirsty lips. Then somebody mode it his
gutter.
Like oil our mixed blessings the River can help or
hurt. It is just one of those gifts of God whose value
will always depend on our good sense and initiative,
our respect for God's intent and our concern for the
needs of others.
Call it a by-product if you please —but one of the
results of faithful religious worship and service is that
SO many mixed blessings become real blessings!
