4-H Club County Camp
(By Marilyn Avirett)
Eagerness for the time for 4-H
club camp fills us and as the time
slowly drifts around excitement
and joy overflows. Everyone who
has a project can go to camp.
Last year on July 15, sixty boys
and girls from Seminole County
and fifty iboys and girls from De
catur County piled into school bus
es and began their trip io Camp
Timpochee, Florida’s 4-H Camp
on the Chockowahatchee Bay near
Niceville.
We had a good trip and arrived
at camp at 5:00 o’clock. We had to
get acquainted with everyone and
after being assigned to our cab
ins, we enjoyed our first meal. De
catur county 4-H’ers conducted the
vesper services.
Saturday the entire group was
divided into four smaller ones.
Our leaders were: Mr. J. H. Har
rell, who told us many interesting
things about wildlife; Mr. Dorsey
Dyer, who told us many import
ant things about forestry; Mr. W.
C. Carter, showed us several pic
tures about marketing, and Mrs.
Sue Crew was in charge of recre
ation and everyone enjoyed this
class.
We were given permission to,
swim three times each day. The
buddy system was used for safe
ty.
Seminole county was in charge
of vesper services that night. The
jyogram was held near the waters
around a campfire.
After the worship services and
dinner, Sunday, we enjoyed a tour
around the beach. We saw many
interesting things.
The candle light service was
held Sunday night and it was a
very pretty sight. Everyone held
a candle and formed a cloverleaf.

time.

of the club is to teach the mem

The club is a member of the
National Rifle Association, and the
Department of the Army is fur
nishing’the rifles and ammunition.
Last year the equipment was late
in arriving and we were late in
beginning. However, we expect to
start this month and carry out an
active program. A team will be
picked from the high scoring mem
bers and this team will challenge
other teams from other- counties.
The county champions, a boy and a
girl, will compete at the District
Achievement Meet.
We are using Winchester Model
75, 22 caliber target rifles, equip
ped with a sling and peep sight,
and 22 long rifle ammunition.

4-H Club Beef
Calf Project
(By Lena Avirett,
Girl’s Vice-President
Seminole High 4-H Club)
I think one of the best things
tha: has happened in,. ; Seminole
County for boys and girls was
when the Donalsonville Lions Club
began sponsoring the Spring Fat
Cattie Show. It has meant much
.o the 4-H club members because
it gives us an experience which we
are willing and anxious to talk a
bout.
I had a calf in the last Spring
Fat Cattle Show and won a prize.
This has given me the determina
tion to try harder to show my
present calf as tops, I bought my
calf on October 1, 1949 and he
weighed 430 pounds. I have been
feeding him crushed corn, cotton
seed meal, hay and minerals, and
he has gained a lot of weight. I
have learned to groom and lead
him.
This project has given me a
sense of ownership, because I can
feel that I have something that
belongs to me which is my respon
sibility. I get business training
from keening records of all ex
penses and income. I am learning
to proceyly care for, feed my calf,

Experience Os Candidate
For State 4-H Office
(By Bobby Hornsby)
In Americus last year at the
District Achievement meeting Jane
Spooner and I were the voting dele
gates of Seminole county. She
nominated me for boys Vice-
President. I was elected by a few
votes. I don’t think I had much
competition—l was running a
gainst a boy from Cairo.
and .o better appreciate good beef
type calves when I see them.
There are 21 4-H club calves to
enter the Spring Fat Cattle Show
dated April 26, 1950. We are all
working hard.
The following members have
entered: Kennard Bush; Jan Har
rell; Buddy Adams; Ronny Har
rell; Lena Avirett; Marilyn Avir
ett; Jack Brockett; Kenneth Will
iams; David Davis; Billy King;
Steve Bush; Rudolph McDonald;
Royce Ford; Charles Tyler; Billy
Ray Butler;' Bobby Earnest; Billy
Charles Parker; and Albert Spoon
er.
After that I attended an officers
raining camp in Atlanta. We had
to go to two classes a day. They
were three hours long. We went in
swimming once a day there. I
learned a lots at the camp. I was
scared when we first go here be
cause we had to take a physical
examination. I passed it. The only
thing wrong with me was one bad
tooth.
I represented my county and
district at the State Council meet
ing in Milledgeville. I ran for
state vice-president there but lost
by a few votes.
I had more fun just running for
State vice-president than being
district, vice-president. I made a
campaign speech that would make
the governor take notice. I also
gave cookies and candy away— to
get votes.
Congratulations to Seminole
4-H’ers. We beleive in the youth,
of our county.
