What 4-H Is And What It Does
By Melondy White
The Four-H Club is a program
for young people who take part in
farming, homemaking, com
munity service, personal im
provement and other activities.
Four-H Club members learn by
doing. They apply the latest
scientific ideas to many pro
jects as they search for better
ways to do things in their homes
and on their farms.
The 4-H motto is "Make The
Best Better”. The club also has
ten objectives for its members.
They are:
1. Gain knowledge, skills,
and qualities for a happy
home life.
2. Enjoy useful work, respon
sibility and satisfaction in
accomplishment.
3. Value research and learn
scientific methods for mak
ing decisions and solving
problems.
4. Know how scientific agri
culture and home eco
nomics relate to the total
economy.
5. Explore career opportunit
ies and continue needed ed
ucation.
6. Appreciate nature, under
stand conservation, and use
resource wisely.
7. Foster healthful living, pur
poseful recreation and con
structive leisure.
8. Strengthen personal stan
dards and philosophies.
9. Acquire traits, attitudes
and understanding to work
with others.
10. Develop leadership talents
and abilities to become bet
ter citizens.
Any boy or girl between 10
and 19 may join the 4-H Club in
the United States and all but two
Canadian Provinces. In Alberta
and Ontario, the age requirement
is 12 to 21. Local club members
elect their own officers and con
duct programs based on their
own needs and interests. They
hold regular meetings and take
part in community activities. The
club membership in the United
State includes more than
2,285,000 boys and girls. Over
425,000 local volunteer leaders
serve in more than 94,000 groups

in the United States and Puerto
Rico. In Canada over 66,600
young people belong to 4-H. About
13,550 local leaders serve in over
5,200 clubs.
The 4-H colors are green and
white. The club’s emblem is a
green four-leaf clover with a
white H on each leaf. The clover
is a traditional symbol of good
luck. The letters stand for four
key words: head, heart, hands
and health. Clubs work to de
velop heads as boys and girls
learn to think and plan. They
improve hearts as they learn
to be kind, sympathetic, and co
operative. Hands become skill
ful when members learn useful
skills of farming and home
making. Health increases as
they practice taking good care
of their bodies. When boys and
girls become members, they
make this pledge:
"I pledge:
My head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
My health to better living
For my club, my community
and my country.”
In the United States, 4-H clubs
forms the youth-education pro
gram of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. State and county
governments cooperate with de
partments in administering the
program. County extension
agents help local leaders and
club members. In Canada, the
extension branches of the pro
vincial departments of agricul
ture direct the 4-H program.
From what I have told you
about the 4-H Club, I want you
to think about joining, if you are
not a member already. It will
really help you.

My 4-H
Experiences
By Barney Brown
I have been a member of the
4-H Club for eight years.
I was introduced to the 4-H
program in the 4th grade and my
first project was recreation. I
was a county and district winner.
My second year I had frozen
foods and by having this project
both my mother and I learned how
to prepare and freeze fruits and
vegetables. Again I won at the
county and district competitions.
The third year my project
was clothing. I learned how to
sew small things. I made a neck
scarf. I won at the county and
received second place at District.
My fourth year I had Clothing
and made a skirt and blouse.
Again I was a county and district
winner.
In my fifth year my project
was foods and nutrition. I learn
ed how to plan and prepare nu
tritious meals for my family. I
gave a demonstration on butter
milk biscuits at both the county
and district where I again won.
My sixth year was the most
exciting year. I had become a
Senior 4-H’er and my project
was food preservation. Under
this I chose frozen foods. I
gave a demonstration on freezing
meat and was county and district
winner. I was now eligible for
the state elimination. I didn’t
become a State winner, but I was
proud to participate in the state
eliminations.
This past year my project was
Teen Fare. I won at the county,
went on to District, but I lost.
I haven’t decided on wMph pro
ject I will have this year, but I
will put forth more effort to be
come a county, district, and may
be a state winner.
I have won numerous awards
for these projects and exhibits
that I have had in the county
Also new: a Grand Prix convertible!
There are new 400 and 428 cubic inch V-Bs.
New safety features such as front seat belt
retractors, a four-way traffic hazard flasher,
folding front seat back latches and General
Motors' new energy absorbing steering column.
Os course, all Pontiacs come with the road
hugging security of Wide-Track.

Before I became a member

If I hadn’t joined I don’t think I
would know how to do any one
of them now.
So, I give thanks to the 4-H
Club, my agent and leaders for
eight exciting and experiencing
years.
