Duties Os A 4-H Leader
My name is Carolyn Max
ine Roseberry. I am a recent
graduate of R. L. Cousins High
School where I have served as
a member of the 4-H Club or
ganization for approximately
eight (8) years. During this
time I have accepted gracefully
the title of being a 4-H Club
leader here in Newton County.
Being a leader, it is expected
of me to know and make good
use of the qualities of a good
leader. I would like to give to
you what a leader is: A leader
is one who has the abilitv to
so influence others that they
will think as he or she wants
them to think, do as he or she
wants them to do. and yet feel
that thev are acting on their
own thinking and planning. Ac
cepting this definition, I am
aware that if one is to lead
there must be desirable oual
ities. In line with what I have
done as a leader T shall attempt
tn cover the areas of being a
good leader, and how I have'
tried to improve within mvselfj
in promoting better 4-H Club
work at home, at school and
in the community.
The seven main qualities of a
good leader are:
A. Interest — I have tried
and believe to have been suc
cessful in being interested in
fellow club members by help
ing them become familiar with
bulletins, records books, pro
ject guidebooks, organization of
4-H work, recreation hand-

books. National 4-H News, and
other materials provided by
the county extension office.
Not only helping members to
become acquainted with these
materials, but 1 served as dis
cussion leader in helping all
4-H Club members to under
stand everything about the
4-H Club organization.
B. Unseitisnness — Being un
selfish in another phase which
I have tried to improve. I be
lieve in sharing with others.
With this belief, I worked
faithfully in sharing the infor
mation I obtained with other
4-H’ers. This was done by
helping new members fill out
enrollment cards, project books,
look up needed information on
interested project work and
etc. A good leader is unselfish
and enjoys working with
others.
C. Sportsmanship — Strict
standards for sportsmanship
should be possessed by every
leader. No one is all right or
all wrong. As a good leader, I
have recognized this fact and
tried at all times to practice
good sportsmanship at home, at
school and in community.
D. Honest — Another quality
I have tried to improve is hon
est. A leader should also have
strict standards of honest as
well as the other qualities. One
can not wish to lead a group
of persons when there is doubt
of one being honest. To be hon-
est, I practiced keeping pro
mises, telling the truth and be
ing a true friend to everyone.
E. Cooperation — I h a v e
tried to work well with others
and cooperate at all times.
F. Perseverance — One of
I the greatest qualities I have
’ tried to improve is presever
ance, which means slow to give
up. It is not always easy to
teach a new game to a group
or a new song, or even to get
club members to help with the
planning of a program of carry
ing out responsibilities, but this
was a true testing time of my
I leadership ability.
G. To be liked and respected
। — The final and most impor-
I tant quality, as a leader, I have
I tried to be friendly and kind
so that I am liked and respect
ed by all who know me. I also
! respect the rights of others.
I have not tried to list these
qualities in order to importance,
because if one is to lead they
must possess all of the quali
ties. Interests, unselffishness,
sportsmanship, honesty, co
operation, perseverance, and to
be liked and respected. These
are the qualities I have accept
ed in serving as a leader in my
4-H Club organization.
A good leader must have a
great deal of patience. I have
done in the past years a num
ber of things to become a lead
er. I have gained numerous
friends and lost many enemies
in the process of doing so, I
have also learned things of
great importance by helping
my County Agents with fellow
members. Doing all these things
I am inclined to believe I am
capable of remaining a leader
in my County and State.
In order to be successful in
any project one must fill out
enrollment cards, record books,
and keep a record of their
projects.
In order for one to become an
advanced 4-H Club member
and a leader, they must hold
positions as county, district,
and state officers. I have held
the position of President, Vice
President in my class 4-H Club
and the County Council for
the total number of years I
have been a member of the
4-H Club. In 1958-59, Iwas
girls Vice President of District
6 4-H Club Council. During
the State encampment at Dub
lin 4-H Club Center August
1-7, I gave up my position as
State reporter of the State 4-H
Council where I was elected
reporter in August of 1959.
After winning first place on
the County, district and state
levels in my public speaking,
leadership, and achievement
projects, being county, district,
and state officers, making a re
port on my 4-H Club exper
iences, I was chosen as one of
the delegates to attend the re
gional 4-H Club meeting in
Washington, D. C. on August
8-15, 1960. There were sixteen
South Eastern States represent
ed. A total of 138 persons in
cluding leaders. There were
four boys and four girls from
the state of Georgia This was
an all expense paid trip, given
to the eight boys and girls in
the state who had made great
advances and accomplishments
in the 4-H Club. I was indeed
happy and proud to be among
them. The other Georgia dele
gates were from the following
counties: girls - Lowndes, Ef
fingham, and Jenkins. Boys —
Byran, Butts, Hancock and
Morgan. Georgia was well re
presented by these delegates.
We arrived in Washington,
D. C. by train on Monday morn
ing at 9:00 A. M. The first time
the Georgia delegation has
gone by train. The former dele
gates have gone by car. The
meeting was held on Campus
at Howard University. We al
so made temporary homes on
campus. We ate all our meals
at Baldwin Hall, Howard’s din
ing room, and had all our as
sembly programs at the Engi
neering and Architecture Au
ditorium.
On Tuesday we had dis
cussions on our theme: “Live.
Learn. Serve through 4-H”. On
this day, we went on a tour of
the large Howard University
campus, the Washington monu
ment, and that night we were
special guests at the Water
gate Concert by the United
State Army Band.
On Wednesday, we toured
the White House, Agricultural
Research Center in Belksville,
Maryland, and the United
States Department of Agricul
ture Building where we had
an assembly program, and a
frshion show, showing exam
ples of the various types of ma
terials. In this fashion show
four girls were chosen from all
of the delegates as models. The
models were chosen according
to their height, poise, and
ability to model. I was lucky to
be among the four selected. I
was first on the program mo
deling a yellow plastic rain
coat with matching cap. Later,
I modeled a pair of red figured
pajamas. I was very happy and
THE COVIN
thrilled to be a model for the
day. After the fashion show the
four chosen models had lunch
at the United States Treasury
Department with Mr. A. S. Ba
con, Chairman of the Regional
Meeting.
On Wednesday night there
was a theater party given in
the 4-H’ers honor at the Carter
Barron Amphitheater, featur
ing the famous Louis Arm
strong, Count Basie, and Joe
Williams. This was a most en
joyable party.
Thursday, we went on a Pil
grimage to Mount Vernon, the
home of George Washington,
down the Potomac River
Streamer. On Thursday night,
we all participated in a party.
Friday , we had a tour and a
meeting in the Caucas Room of
the Old House Office Building,
a tour of the Federal Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and
the National Zoological Park.
We also went to the Capitol
and some of us had the oppor
tunity to meet vice president,
Richard N. Nixon and we met
Senator Talmadge.
Friday night was the night
for the Bis Talent Program. On
this talent program two num
bers were presented by each
State. The Georgia delegation
did a group song intitled,
“Misty” and a creative dance
by “Canadian Sunset”. After
the talent show “Out of this
World”, the Georgia delegation
was voted among the Top “10”
in preformances.
On Saturday, there were
committee meetings, group dis
cussions, an all state afternoon,
and later in the evening, we
had a fellowship dinner. Our
guest speaker was Dr. F D.
Patterson, President of t h e
Phelps Stokes Fund in N e w
York City. After the fellow
ship dinner, there was a Ball
in the University Ball Room.
Each girl was given the oppor
tunity to have her date escort
her to and from the Ball.
Sunday, Our religious hour
was most insoirational. Our
speaker was Dr. Albert C.
Anonyl, student at Howard
University School of Religion,
and a native of Africa. Later in
the day, we went on tours of
the Iwo Jima Memorial. Lincoln
Memorial, Jefferson Memorial,
reflecting pool, Smithsonian In
stitute, National Art Gallery,
National Archives and the
Tomb of the unknown soldier
at Arlington National Cemetery
where the 4-H’ers paid honor
able tribute. On that night, we
had our Citizenship program
and Candlelighting ceremony.
On our last day in Washing
ton, D. C„ we went shopping
downtown Washington and bid
farewell to our many friends
we met. Some of whom will
someday be famous personali
ties, or maybe some of whom
I1 will never meet again, but I
can truthfully say I enjoyed
being associated with them.
My trio to the regional meet
ing in Washington, D. C. was
inspirational, challenging, edu
cational. interesting, and en
joyable. I would urge any pre
sent member of the 4-H Club
to strive for the better. For it
could very well lead to a trin
to Washington, D. C. Wouldn't
you 4-H’ers like that?
(Thank you note: I wish to
thank my parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Willie Lee Roseberry, Mrs
Lottie B. Johnson, my 4-H Club
Agent. Mrs. Ruth B. Smith, my
former instructor and Principal
and faculty of R. L. Cousins
School, for without all these
persons my 4-H experiences
and accomplishments would
never have been.)
CARE OR CEDAR SLOSETS
Agricultural Extension Ser
vice engineers say cedar-lined
closets never should be finish
ed with varnish and shellac
because this will seal the sur
face and prevent the wood
from emitting the odor desired.
To refresh such closets they
advise going over it lightly
with with a portable electric
sander which will expose a
fresh surface.
BOILING EGGS
To prevent eggs from crack
ing when cooked in the shell
try this tip from Miss Nelle
Boyr, nutritionist, Agricultural
Extension Service: bring eggs
to room temperature before
placing them in hot water. To
speed up the warm-up, hold
eggs under warm running wat
er or place them in a pan of
warm water for a few seconds.

I am devoting this Memory i
to the life and times of t h e ‘
Honorable L. Q. C. Lamar, a
one - time resident and citizen
of Covington and a graduate of
Emory College at Oxford.
In this connection I am re- ;
producing an article that ap
peared in the Athens (Ga.)
Banner - Herald on August 24,
1960 written from New York
City. It is headed as one will
see “Kennedy Write Article
About Lucius Lamar.”
NEW YORK — Democratic
presidential candidate John F.
Kennedy, who has a well-es
tablished reputation as an au
thor and historian, was re
vealed today to have taken time
out from politics to write for'
an encyclopedia.
The editors of Collier’s En- [
cyclopedia disclosed that Sena- |
tor Kennedy has prepared a
600-word biography of Lucius
Lamar, U. S. Senator from Mis
sissippi from 1876 to 1885 and,
in his later years, secretary of
the interior and a member of
the Supreme Court. The article
appears in the latest edition of
the Encyclopedia, just off the
press.
The author of two books and
a number of magazine articles,
nominee Kennedy is no novice
as a writer. His “Profiles in
Courage,” ah historical account
of individual fortitude in
American politics, was awarded
Pulitzer prize for biography in
1957.
Colber’s invited Senator Ken
nedy to contribute the article
following publication of “Pro
files in Courage,” which estab
lished the Massachusetts law
maker as one of the nation’s top
authorities on Lamar’s life. A
chapter in the book is devoted
to Lamar’s courageous stand in
the Senate against Southern
sectionalism and to his efforts
to reconcile the differences be-

tween the North and South.
In the Encyclopedia article,
Senator Kennedy describes La
mar as one of the few men in
United State history who held
important posts in all three
branches of the government. ■
Lamar, he writes, played a
significant role “in maintain
ing and strengthening the fab- I
ric of U. S. political life and
tradition, especially in the re
union of the country after the
Civil War.”
As one leaves the public
square in Covington and goes
out Floyd Street, a bronze tab
let erected on the left side of
the space between the street
and the side walk in front oi
what seems to be a flower and
' gift shop, is to be seen a bronze
tablet with the following words
embossed on both sides of it:
LUCIUS Q C. LAMAR
Here was located the office
in which L. Q. C. Lamar,
statesman and jurist, practiced
law at two intervals, from 1847
to 1854, thence moving to Ma
con and Mississippi. His family
located at Covington after h i s
i Father’s death in 1834, and at
nearby Oxford in 1838, where,
in 1845, he graduated from
Emory College.
In 1853, Newton County
elected Lamar to the State
Legislature, starting his career
which led to valuable service
to the Confederacy, to the U. S.
House and Senate, Secretary
ship of the Interior, and to the
U. S. Supreme Court.
