On November 5, 1955, WAGA
TV initiated “The 4-H Hour” as
the nation’s only weekly tele
vision program devoted entire
ly to 4-H Club work. Present
ed continuously every Satur
day since then, the program is
dedicated by WAGA-TV as a
public service for the enter
tainment, instruction and in
spiration of 4-H Club members
and their rural and wurban
friends everywhere,
More than sixty counties in
Georgia participate in the pro
‘gram. Miss Para Lee Brock,
who produces the program for
WAGA - TV in cooperation
with the University of Geor
gia's Agricultural Extension
Service, visits each county in
advance to work with County
Extension Agents in rehearsing
the demonstrations and talent
numbers to be given by their
4-H’ers. The following week,
the group goes to Atlanta for
additional rehearsing in t h e
studio at WAGA-TV. A video
tape recording is then made.
This enables 4-H'’ers to stay at
home and watch themselves on
the day their program is tele
cast.
Tha Newton County Program
will be on WAGA-TV, Channel
5, this coming Saturday at 7:30
A. M., Relatives and friends of
4-H’ers will join them in
‘watching with special interest.

EXTERIOR EXPOSURE
A striking innovation of ex
terior house design is exposure
of rafters at cerlain intervals
of the roofline for dramatic
effect. Since the wood is
subject to severe weather ex
posure, the Southern Pine As
sociation recommends lumber
‘that’s pressure treated with
modern chemicals for this use.
The chemicals given protection
azainst the elements and some
provide distinctive colors.
A total of 143,813 boys and
girls are enrolled in the state
;4—}l Club program, according
‘to the annual 4-H Club Report.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
From the 4-H
) Club Leader’s

“Viewpoint
By ARTHUR L. HARGROVE
The other day as I was
checking over some of the
boys’ and girls’ 4-H records I
became engrossed in reading
the feature which is a part of
each record and is entitled
“My 4-H Story”. These stories
range from a few sentences
meticulously written by a ten
year old Cloverleaf to a couple
of impatiently scrawled pages
by a sixteen year old Senior.
But each story has one thing
in common—a personal expres
sion by the boy or girl of what
4-H means to him or her. Na
turally, these stories contain
‘many and varied reasons for
their interest in 4-H and state
in as many different ways what
4-H means to them.
The little Cloverleaf who has
just become a 4-H'r doesn’t
really know what to say be
cause, unless there is an older
brother or sister in 4-H, it's
still a big mystery. The Junior
is a little more confident and
with a slightly large vocabu
lary at his disposal becomes
quite flowery in expressing
what 4-H means to him. And
then the Senior, and old hand
at this game, looks back over
the years, and then settles
down to chronologically list all
those minute things that 4-H
has meant to him. |
Continuing to read the stories
written by the various age
groups, I was able to under
stand how the 4-H influence
was helping to mold the char
acter of these boys and girls.
And as I closed the last rec
ord book, my thoughts con
tinued to dwell upon the phrase
—what 4-H means to me. I
had just read what it meant to
4-H'rs of all ages, but what
about me personally? I had
never been a 4-H club mem
ber or even associated with
4-H work until a few short
years ago. My first interest in
becoming a 4-H club leader
came as a result of a son and
daughter joining a 4-H club
and asking for permission to
have a project. At that point I
felt pretty much like the little
Cloverleaf—4-H was still a big
mystery. But it didn’t remain
mysterious very long! One day
our County Agent asked me if
1 would assist with the pro
gram at a county 4-H council
meeting—and that was the be
ginning!
Thera followed many inter
esting experiences as a volun
teer 4-H club leader such as
entertaining at council meet
ings, counseling officers, as
gisting in the development of
demonstrations, decorating
county fair booths, assisting at
awards banquets, and appear
ing on the 4-H Hour on televi
sion, just to name a few. One
of the most interesting and re
warding experiences took place
last fall when I was privileged
to attend an adult leaders
training course along with oth
er county volunteer leaders.
This course was not only edu
cational in that we learned the
what, why, and wherefores of
being a club leader, but to me
personally it aroused an addi
tional interest because I now
saw so many other ways in
which I could help in the 4-H
program. After graduation from
this course and with my certifi
cate hanging on the wall, I felt
much like the new lawyer who
has just hung out his shingle,
full of enthusiasm and rarin’
to go! That was last year and
this enthusiasm lis still aglow
and I felt it among my fellow
adult leaders when we held
our first class reunion last
month.
So now I examine my
thoughts to try and determine
what 4-H means to me and the
thousands of other volunteer
leaders serving throughout this
wonderful country of ours. I
believe to them and to me it
simply means the happy smil
ing faces of boys and girls, their
joyous laughter, sometimes
their tears, growing up to take
their rightful place as our.
leaders of tomorrow -— flnd!
knowing you had a hand in it!
FULL SIZE ARE ’
IMPORTANT |
According to the Southern!
Pine Association, it’s important |
that framing lumber for homes |
be full-sized.
Size is a key factor in |
strength. Many homes are en- !
gineered in design, with the|
calculations of the designers
based on lumber having a spe- |
cified width and thickness,
To meet these standards,
lumber should be “pre-shrunk” !
by proper seasoning before it's!
surfaced to end-use size. Pro-|
per seasoning to specific mois- |
ture content limits is a manda-i
tory grade requirement for!
Southern Pine framing. )
A Trip to
Wildlife Camp
By Ronnie Elliott
One of the many wonderful
rewards the 4-H Club offers
are the trips that we can re
ceive. Last August T was hon
ored to receive a trip tot h e
26th Annuval Wildlife Conser
vation Camp held at Camp Wa
hsega. I stayed nearly a whole
week although I can’t say it
seemed that long to me. Dur
ing a large part of the day we
took classes in such things as
traping and game management.
There were plenty of places to
learn about such things be
cause the camp was located in
a beautiful mountain setting.
At night, we had recreation
in the assembly hall. It was not
all play, however. We all had
jobs to do. At one time or an
nother everyone served on K.
P. duty and sweeping patrol
in the dinning hall. In addition
the members at each of the
small wooden cabins were re
sponsible for keeping the eca
bins and area clean, and in
spection was held every morn
ing. At the end of the week
the cabin who had the highest
score was awarded with a 4-H
T-shirt. Our cabin won. Also,
at the end of the week’s stay
everyone took an examination
over the things we should have
learned. I won a green an d
white jacket for making the
second highest score made on
the test at camp. Was I proud
of that coat!
Meals at camp were great.
We had hot homemade rolls at
least once a day and sometimes
