4-H Proves
Old Adage
“You’d scarcely expect one
of my age to speak in public
on a stage,” recited a 7-year
old school boy. “Don’t view
me with a critic’s eye, but
pass my imperfections by...
tall oaks from little acorns
grow. These thoughts inspire
my youthful mind to be the
greatest of mankind. . ..”
This lad was not a 4-H’er,
but he could have been. He
lived in New Ipswich, New
Hampshire in 1791.
Fifty years before a poet
had written “Tis education
forms the common mind; just
as the twig is bent the tree’s
inclined.”
PERSONAL

son and Butts County are Mr.
and Mrs. Ross Sessions and chil
dren, LeJeune Sessions, Ross

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Today’s 4-H youngsters ex
emplify those often quoted
lines, as did the first Head-
Heart-Hands-Health youth of
the early 1900’s.
Boys and girls work on
projects that frequently
shape their lives and future
careers. Millions of 4-H alum
ni say early 4-H training was
a big step toward their suc
cess.
“Learning-by-doing” has
always been the 4-H way.
Showing and sharing new
knowledge gained and skills
learned is part of the 4-H
pattern. The steps to growth
are unfaltering.
A pre-teen girl enrolled in
a clothing program starts out
by making a simple item and
progresses according to her
ability. By the time she is in
high school, she makes most
of her own clothes. Asa teen
4-H leader she teaches young
er members how to sew.
WORTHVILLE

Mrs. Essie Pope.
Mrs. W. S. White spent last
week with Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
McCart in Covington.
Like the New England boy
and the poet, 4-H youths find
plenty of inspiration for
mind-stretching and using
their hands to master skills.
Projects are designed to
arouse their curiosity and
raise questions. The more
they learn, the more compe
tent they become to experi
ment, explore and find the
answers, believes the Cooper
ative Extension Service which
supervises 4-H.
And there are rewards both
intrinsic and material.
More than $1 million con
tributed annually by private
sources is channeled to 4-H
members through the Na
tional 4-H Service Commit
tee. Funds are used for coun
ty, regional, state and na
tional awards ranging from
certificates and medals to
SI,OOO scholarships. And edu
cational aids covering many
subjects are published and
distributed to 4-H leaders
and members.
For nearly 50 years, pri
vate funds have augmented
the public-financed 4-H pro
gram. Some of the oldest and
largest business enterprises
in the U.S. have supported
4-H work since its inception.
Among the scores of 4-H
sponsors are: Allis-Chalmers,
Armour and Company, Car
nation Company, Coats &
Clark Inc., The Firestone
Tire & Rubber Company,
General Foods Corporation,
General Motors, Illinois Cen
tral Railroad and Interna
tional Harvester Company.
Also, Kerr Glass Manufac
turing Corporation, Mont
gomery Ward, Moorman Mfg.
Cos., Olin Mathieson Chemical
Corporation, Ralston Purina
Company, The Singer Com
pany, Santa Fe Railway Sys
tem, and Wilson & Cos., Inc.,

JEFF ENGLISH
Jeff English, a 155 lb.
Sophomore back, is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Lamar
English of Jackson.
Jeff had a good start last
year with the “B” team un
til he was sidelined with a
broken leg but made a good
comeback by showing a lot
of promise during Spring
practice. This season he has
been called on numerous
times to fill in at wingback
and during the Monticello
game he played fullback
carrying the ball 13 times
for 55 yards. On defense he
plays well as right corner
back and has intercepted
two passes. Jeff has ac
cepted a great deal of re
sponsibility and has done
very well when he has filled
in at wingback.
