National 4-H Week Celebration
Georgians who this week
salute their 143,207 boys and
girls of the 4-H Club do so in
the sober knowledge that to
day’s “young citizens in action”
are tomorrow’s mature citizens
in charge.
Theme of the 1963 National
4-H Club Week is a succinct
description of the overall aim
of 4-H: to develop in young
sters, through study and work,
the qualities that will turn
them into responsible leaders.
“Project achievement” is the
key to the way 4-H accomplis
hes its goals. By working on
their projects, members not
only gain knowledge and skills,
they also gradually work into
the planning, teaching and
ing their own camps.
Four-H’ers who go to Rock
Eagle take courses in certain
subjects which they select, par
ticipate in campfire programs
and vespers, and have a well
rounded schedule of outdoor re
creation.
Cooperative Extension Ser
vice specialists and trained 4-H
Club Senior members are camp
instructors, and the Four-H
counselors also take charge of
dormitories. For their eight
weeks of work the counselors
are rewarded with S3OO college
scholarships.

sharing that characterize lead
ership.
A ten-year-old 4-H girl may
be contributing to her family
by making the breakfast bis
cuits; by the time she’s a high
school senior and a veteran of
eight years of 4-H work she
may be working on a health or
safety project that affects her
whole community.
Four-H Club alumni hold
many offices of public trust in
Georgia, from a school board
member to a U. S. Senate seat.
Thousands of teachers, profess
ional people and business men
and women came up through
4-H.
Assisting them are county
and home demonstration agents,
12,244 local leaders, school off
icials and teachers, parents and
business people.

activities which 4-H groups
can create. Leaders will find
the eagerness of a cloverleaf
4-H’or, the determination of a
Junior 4-H’er and the poise and
confidence of a senior 4-H’er
stars their own imagination
and desire to give a positive
kind of leadership, which those
young people are seeking. A
leader who is willing and has
the desire to lead 4-H’ers, can
do things with these young
people which is almost unbe
lievable. A person serving as
a leader must never give the
club member any reason to
doubt his ability as a leader or
question his character if he is
to command the type of respect
for these club members that
is so important. This is one of
the greatest of all challenges
which a leader must meet. A
person serving as a leader may
come from many walks of life.
He may be a mechanic, a car
penter, a businessman, a farm
er, a farm equipment dealer,
any number of sales organiza
tions and bankers.
Those of us working in Ex
tension Service positions know
that the club boys and girls
“learn by doing ’. They are
building themselves as the fu
ture leaders of our nation and
we realize that we must pro
vide the type leadership which
they will respect. 4-H Club
work offers the following ba
sic objectives to the club boys
and girls, according to Mr.
Raymond C. Firestone, one of
our National 4-H Club donors.
Here are some precepts
which have common applica
tion to both 4-H and good
citizenship, as stated by Mr. I
Firestone.
“4 - H develops character—,
and character is basic to good ।
citizenship.
“4-H teaches respect for the
rights of others —this too, is
mandatory to good citizenship.
“4-H emphasizes work and
productivity — good citizenship
requires the conscientious dis- ,
charge of duties.
“4-H is a community build- i
er—and the foundations of
good communities are their
citizens.
“4-H, above everything else,
helps its members become bet- |
ter Americans—that means the
upgrading of the qualities of.
citizenship. *
ders are so necessary to the
success of the multiphased 4-H
program, new emphasis has
been placed on training them.
Last fall 570 Georgians took
the Extension Service’s seven
week leader-training course,
and 720 are expected to grad
uate from a planned spring
series of 24 schools.
Work and time put in by
adult leaders is repaid by the
youngsters with project achi
evement. In 1962 members of
the state’s 3,029 local clubs
completed 313,150 projects, an
average of 2.2 projects per
member.
Thirty-two of these “project
achievers’’ made the trip that
is the dream of every 4-H
member, the one to National
4-H Club Congress in Chicago.
Nine of these were national
winners in their projects. They
were Harris Collier, Carole
Hall, David Hancock, Robert
Laseter, Clara Lupo, Mary
Moody, Cheryl Russell, Albert
Lee Tate and Billy Watson.
In addition, Georgia had two

regional winners and nine ot
her boys and girls who placed
among the runners-up at Chic
ago.
Project competition which
keeps the 4-H’ers on their toes
works this way: Each club may
select a winner in each area of
project work, and these win
ners then enter county elimi
nations. County winners in
each project give their demon
strations at district project
achievement meetings, and the
winners there go to State 4-H
Club Congress in Atlanta.
Youngsters who do good
work are rewarded through the
4-H Awards Program: ribbons
and certificates at the comm
unity level, gifts of merchan
dise, trips and--most sought
after—college scholarships.
The 4-H’er can and often does
make a profit on his project,
too. Many youngsters have sa
ved to help finance a college
education through such act
ivities as gardening, raising
livestock, selling eggs. It is
common for 4-H girls to help
the family clothing budget by
learning to sew their own
clothes, a big saving over the
cost of ready-made garments.
