Why Join The 4-H Club?
BY CYNTHIA MITCHELI
Many youths throughout the
orld have asked, ‘“Why join
1-H?’" There are many reasons
both primary and secondary, as to
he importance of joining this
yrganization.
Many youths are guilty of say
ing, ‘““Why should I join a club
full of farmers?’ These youths
have formulated the wrong idea
sbout the 4-H Club program.
Whenever we think about join
ing a club, whether the 4-H or
iny other club, we should re
member that any club is just what
we make it - no more - no less.
If the youths had taken a closer
look at the 4-H program instead
of assuming that the 4-H is for
farmers, they would have found
“Don’t worry about me
... keep an eye on my
wrap-arounds!”

that 4-H consists of more than
just farmers. This organiza=-
tion has a great variety of fields
to choose from. Even though
farming is included, there are
many others such as: entomo=-
logy, cooking, home management,
dairy products, public speaking,
flower arrangement, and so on.
4-H agents and advisors help the
boys and girls choose the branch
of 4-H project work most suit
able for them.
Youths are often influenced by
other youths, for instance, if
one’s sister or brother or closest
friend refuse to join 4-H, he is
likely to turn the organization
down. These youths were follow=
ing the bandwagon instead of
finding out what the 4-H Clubhas
to offer. In other words, they
didn’t join 4-H because someone
they liked didn’t join it.
All of us have different ideals,
goals, incentives, etc. Why
should we neglect these qualities
by doing what someone else is
doing? Remember what may be
right for one person may be all
wrong for another.
Many youths may be looking for
a club with some adventure and
excitement. They would probably
say, “I’m looking for a club to
join with some fun in it, not a
farm club like the 4~-H--give me
the Science Club.”
They don’t realize that4-Hcan
be as exciting as any other club
with pienics, tours, nature hikes,
plays, exhibits at local and coun
ty fairs, choruses, bands, camp
ing in the summer, individual
projects, state and national meet
ings to attend, 4~-Hclub meetings,
and countless other events.
The 4-H Club not only offers
many areas of project work to
enter, but helps boys and girls
develop good character by teach=
ing them the importance of lead
ership and cooperation, and open=
minded attitude toward new ways
of doing things, and good citizen
ship.
4-H also gives youths oppor
tunities to travel, experiencenew
things, and meet other pegple.
4-H offers scholarships, awards,
medals, educational trips, and
many other benefits to all boys
and girls who work hard and
strive to attain the highest stan
dards of accomplishments.
So you see there are many
reasons why every boy and girl

BY WILLIE MARIE KELLY
Most students feel that the 4-H
Club is an organization for per
sons living in the rural areas, so
when asked to join they pass upa
big opportunity.
1 feelthat every student who has
the chance should join the 4-H
Club. This is one of the many
outstanding organizations which
exercises recreation as well as
a vast amount of knowledge of
some things which will be im
portant throughout life.
Ip order. to gHw YD and bes
come a well-rounded person, I
think a student should partici
pate in some type of activity
which will give him high stan
dards, better morals, and build
a firm background for his later
life. The 4-H Club program does
this and much more.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Let’s look at a few of the rea
sons for joining the 4-H Club:
1. The 4-H program helps the
student develop a spirit of re
sponsibility; 2. 4-Hhelps the stu
dent to become more dependable;
3. 4-H can improve his person
ality and most ofall; 4. 4-Hpre
pares him for demands that are
made by the future. These are a
few of the many reasons for join
ing 4-H. We must remember
though that we can get out of this
organization only what we put
into it. When and if you become
a member of 4-H, I urge you to
work hard and strive for higher
goals. If you do these things,
I'm sure you can ‘‘Make The
Best Better.”
.Vacations are for fupn and
games, Georgia Heart Associ
ation agrees, but reckless play=-
ing, like reckless driving, can
have tragic consequences, es
pecially for the middle-aged

Wonderful Year Os 4-H
BY JILL HEARD
My friend Kathy Klim was the
first one who got me interested in
4-H work. Ididn’t jointhe first of
the year because I didn’t think it
would be much fun. One day, in
December, three months after the
club was in progress, Kathy got
me to go with her.
As 1 walked in the place the
meeting was held, I plunked down
in a chair expecting to be bored
to death. But before I knew it I
was laughing and talking with the
rest of the group.
When I joined I decidedto really
work hard on my Horse and Pony
project. I went home andstarted
to work on a demonstration. Igot
all my horse statues, (whichlgot
about a million) an encyclopedia,
and sat down to label them. That
was my first demonstration but
not my last. When our 4~Hlead
ers said they wanted to get some
demonstrations for district, I
really went to work.
Much to my surprise I was
picked to go on television. Then
I started getting mixed up onthat
perfect demonstration that I had
planned just so! But the demon
stration worked out real good,
although I didn’t getto see myself
on T.,V, I got up 5 minutes too
late.
After that, I got picked for dis
trict. Thank goodness! Well this
Latin Americans Visited
Covington, Newton County
The program Thursday at the
Kiwanis Club of Covington was
most interesting as it had a
Western Hemispheric flavor with
11 Latin Americans appearing
on the program. In charge of
the interesting activities was
Dean Getz, Kiwanis Chairman of
the club’s International Relations
Committee. Bill Allgood, Exec=
utive Secretary of Regional Staff,
U. S. Dept.of Labor, accompanied
the group and introduced the
programs.
Members of the various
Central and South American
countries are making a study
of the labor supply and methods
of farm, educational and manu
facturing procedures in the
United States. Their tour is
sponsored by the U, S, Depart=
ment of State.
To start their Newton County
tour, the ‘‘team,’’ as they call
themselves, visited the big
farming operation of Henry An
derson. Here they saw diversifi
cation in the agricultural field
all the way from cotton and soy
beans to cattle.
They watched as workers got
a big cotton picker ready for
the fields and later toured An
derson’s gin where they saw the
cotton being baled.
After the farm tour the team
went to Newton County High
School and toured the classes in
session, watched as the children
poured into the cafeteria, and
even heard a class in begin
ner’s Spanish.
The statisticians were enter
tained at lunch by the Covington
Kiwanis Club and after lunch
toured the sporting goods factory
of the Brunswick Corporation,
where they saw all sorts of balls
being made.
After the factory tour the
group went to the office of the
Snapping Shoals Electric Mem
bership Corp., REA, for a tour
and explanation of how this idea
has put electricity into all Geor
gia farms.
The group seemed more in
terested in the high school op
eration than in anything else
they saw. Perhaps the best ex
planation given for this was by
Jaime Callejas Osphia of Co
lumbia, who told the Kiwanis
Club—through an interpreter.
¢‘Before coming to the United
States my ideas about you Amer=-
icans was formed by the movies
and by what I had read. I
honestly thought that the most
things Americans thought about
was business and making money.

Since the fifth grade, I have
gone in and out of 4-H. Until now,
I hadn’t really understood what
4=-H could mean to boys andgirls
like me. Last year was my first
active year in 4-H. Understand
ing 4-H has opened an entirely
different world to me.
In my meaning, 4=-H means a
new life. Away to help others
who need it and help yourselfto a
better education. In 4-H you can
go on trips to foreign countries.
This has been my goal ever since
my cousin, Dot Annie Tappen,
went to Scotland.
One reason I have chosen re=-
creation this year is because it
covers so many fields. Also I
enjoy doing many things and acti
vities such as, playing my clari=-
net or taking part in plays.
Now that I have found out what
4-H can do for me it will always
be an important part of my life.
This year 1 will represent
Newton County at District in the
Recreation Project. Ihope thatl
will do well in my project.
have been pleasantly surprised
at the great emphasis that is
placed on culture and particu
larly on education. Education is
the only answer in our changing
times and it cannot be emphas=
ized too much.”’
Each of the group is employed
by his government—mainly in
their own Departments of Labor
or similar bureaus. The seminar
is being held with the cooperation
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of our Department of Labor.
The group was accompanied
by William I, Allgood of the
Atlanta office of the Department
of Labor and other Labor De=-
partment officials.
The touring Latin Americans
were too late in the season for
Georgia peaches, but they asked
if they could see some growing—
they had heard of Georgiapeach
es, but did not know about pecans
or soybeans as Georgia cash
Crops.
At the luncheon, each of the
group was introduced. Allgood
explained to the Kiwanians the
purpose of the trip and then
asked if there were any ques
tions the Kiwanians wanted to
ask their guests.
The Kiwanians did ask ques=-
tions, and then the Latin Amer
icans asked some of their own.
One asked if the change from
an agricultural, rural economy
to one more industrialized would
be of real benefit to their coun
tries—which are just now start
ing into the industrial revolution.
One of the Kiwanians came
back with the answer that ‘‘the
bigger your payroll, the better
you are as customers’ and sev
eral spoke of a higher standard
of living as the advantage,
The Latin Americans said
that their big labor problem is
the same one that plagues parts
of the United States—plenty of
people to work, but not enough
with the necessary skills.
