Walton said. Georgia 4-H’ers live
in rural farm, rural non-farm,
suburban and urban areas of the
state. In fact, 67,536 urban and
suburban boys and girls are in
cluded in the 154,810 enrollment.
Another 52,570 live in rural non
farm areas, and the remaining
34,704 live on farms and engage
in agricultural activities.
Activities during National 4-H
Week will be as varied as the
membership of the Club. How
ever, one of the main activities
this week will be giving others
an opportunity to learn more
about these head, heart, hands
and health young people and the
learn-by-doing experience in
which they participate, the 4-H
leader said.
Four-H Club members and the
county agents and county Exten
sion home economists who give
direction to their project work
will also take time to pause and
look back over the opportunities
they experienced in 4-H work last
year.
Among the highlights of the
4-H Club year in 1968 were: 6,-
478 boys and girls participated in
district project achievement meet
ings; 8,533 Club members spent
a week at 4-H Camp; 8,248 med
als awarded to county champions
for superior achievement; 42
state 4-H winners; 8 national
champions from Georgia at last
year’s National 4-H Club Con
gress in Chicago; $26,831.56 in
college scholarships awarded to
deserving 4-H members in the
state; over 1,000 Club members
giving talks or demonstrations on
television; participation in every
fair held in the state; 203 Four-
H’ers awarded educational out-of
state trips, and almost 10,000 in
terested adults who served as
volunteer leaders.
Dr. Walton pointed out that
many other highlights could be
added to this already impressive
list. However, the most important
highlight was 154,810 Georgia
boys and girls had an opportunity
to become better citizens and
leaders for tomorrow through
their 4-H Club activities.

Leadership
Camp
BY MARALYN RIDGEWAY
Leadership Camp was held at
Camp Wahsega, near Dahlonega,
July 7-11, 1969. Butts County
had two 4-H members and one
agent attending this camp. The
members and agent attending
were Maralyn Ridgeway, Perry
Ridgeway, and Carl Brack.
After arriving at the camp, we
joined the other campers. We
were divided into six groups.
Each group attended eleven
classes. The classes were educa
tional as well as enjoyable. They
were: Join the Crowd, Junior
Clubs, Manners Matter, Gun Safe
ty, Archery, 4-H Meetings, 4-H
Image, Exhibits, 4-H and You,
Sock It To Me I’ll Decide, and
Recreation Leadership.
In Join the Crowd, we dis
cussed drinking alcoholic bever
ages and the way that they would
affect a person consuming them.
Arousing and keeping the interest
of Cloverleafs and Juniors were
the main emphasis of Junior
Clubs. All campers participating
that week learned the proper way
to use a gun during the two
hour class on Gun Safety.
In Manners Matter, we learned
that manners really do matter,
especially while associating with
people. Many of us shot a bow
and arrow for the first time dur
ing the Archery class at Leader
ship Camp. Not only did we learn
to shoot a bow and arrow, but
we also learned the safety rules
to use while shooting them. In
4-H meetings, we took small IQ
test and then discussed ways of
improving our 4-H meetings. Im
proving the 4-H Image was the
main topic of discussion in the
class of 4-H Image. Exhibits can
be attractive if they are set up
correctly. In Exhibits, we made
small exhibits in carbon boxes,
in order to put into practice the
rules of making exhibits correct
ly. What does 4-H mean to you?
Many 4-H’ers got a chance to ex
press their opinions on this in the
class of 4-H and You. Sock It To
Me, I’ll Decide was about decis
ion making. Since all teenagers
are faced with decisions to make,
we found this class to be very
educational. Different kinds of
games and dances were taught to
us in Recreation Leadership.
On Thursday night, after a
week of enjoyable classes and
recreation, Gwinnett County
sponsored a slave girl auction.
The boys brought everything from
live frogs, to shower curtains, to
signs to buy the girls.
All good things must come to
an end sometime. After a week
of meeting new friends, and see
ing some of our old friends again,
the camp came to an end on
Friday morning, which was too
soon for many of us. After
breakfast and cabin inspection,
we loaded up on buses or in cars
and returned home, tired but hap
py, and filled with many new
ideas for our local 4-H club.
Money
Management
BY JANICE COOK
4-H offers many projects that
will be useful in your future
years. The project I’m in, and
consider an important one is
“Money Management.”
Money is something in which
everybody talks; word battles are
often fought; books have been
published; songs have been sung,
games have been played, and
something on which many people
build their dreams on. Every
person has experienced a role as
a money-manager. But just how
good a money-manager are you?
Good money management first
involves your values or how you
value things. For example, one
person might value a car as the
most important thing in the world
while someone else values a col
lege education higher than a car.
Decide what your values are . . .
your ideals . . . the principles
by which you want to live. Then
set goals. In order to get what
you want, first decide what you
really want. The trick is to make
your expectations match your
wants. Then you will actually
get what you want.
A spending plan is a good de
vice for getting what you want,
and getting the most satisfaction
out of what you get. If you have
set some goals then reaching
these goals will be a source of
satisfaction. So a well-planned
budget is a good way to guide
you toward your goals.
Credit is another important
point in good money manage
ment. Credit is known as a sharp,
double-edged tool. That is, it has
its advantages and disadvantages.
Some advantages are: you can
use an item while you’re paying
for it; you can get cash to meet
emergencies; you can capitalize
on some opportunities when you
are low on cash; and you may
offset a greater expense from the
use of an item bought on credit.
Some disadvantages are: you can
buy too much; you can be an
easy mark for a “sales pitch,”
you can buy more expensive items
than you can afford; and you can
easily get into financial diffi
culties when you can’t make pay
ments. So, before you use credit,
analyze how you stand financial
ly, decide on the value of the
item to be bought on credit and
determine how you can cut the

My 4-H Life
BY BECKY EDWARDS
Since I was in the fifth grade,
I have been a member of the
Butts County 4-H Club. 4-H has
been a very important part of my
life. Knowing older 4-H’ers be
fore becoming Cloverleaf made
me wait anxiously till I was one.
Seeing other 4-H’ers work and
having lots of fun made me want
to do things.
I enjoy 4-H very much be
cause I like to plant trees and
shrubs, to work in the garden,
to freeze and can vegetables and
fruits. In 4-H there is so much to
do.
To become an excellent 4-H’er
you must work very hard. Our
motto is “To Make The Best Bet
ter.” Through project work this
can be achieved.
Last year I gave a demonstra
tion in frozen foods project. I
was scared to death! Every year
however you begin to feel just
a little more secure. 4-H certain
ly helps to overcome being in
secure in many ways.
I went to District Project
Achievement this year. Although
I did not win, I learned and
gained much. This year as a Jun
ior I am going to continue my
project work and try to make the
best better! Maybe even win at
District Project Achievement.

Money management involves
many things to many people ev
eryday. But the one who uses his
money wisely gets the best satis
faction from it.

as the popular dances. On Thurs
day night we had a beach party
where after a little fun and food,
the counselors put on a short skit.
After the beach party we went
back to camp and each cabin put
on a small skit.
The Butts County boys had a
beauty contest where they had a
seven way tie for first place.
On Friday morning, we boarded
the bus for the final time. Tired
but happy, we returned carrying
with us the memories of Camp
Chatham and Savannah, as well
as the friendships made there
both old and new.
