Reflections Os A 4-H
Volunteer Leader
By Art Hargrove
(State Chairman Local Leaders)
As State Chairman of the ap
proximately 14,000 adult volun
teer leaders in Georgia, it has
been my responsibility, and a
very pleasant one at that, to
meet with 4-H’ers and leaders
throughout our state during the
past summer. I wish that I
could share the many experiences
that I had while participating
in the best 4-H program in the
United States. Yes, right here
in Georgia the youth of our state
has at its disposal the most
complete and diversified 4-H
program and facilities to
be found in all of our 50 states.
Through the efforts of the many
4-H leaders, and friends of 4-H,
who have worked so diligently
over the past 61 years, the Geor
gia 4-H program has developed
Into the No. 1 spot In the nation.
Since Professor G. C. Adams
first formed the original Corn
Club right here in Newton County
’way back in 1905, many chan
ges have taken place in 4-H.
Professor Adams and those other
dedicated people who sought to
Improve crop production and to
enhance life In the rural areas
must have foreseen the tremen
dous growth that would take place
In rural America. Even today

the alms of this small group of
people are still important fac
tors In the modern 4-H Club pro
gram. However, since only 27
percent of the present 4-H en
rollment reside on the farm, this
program has, of necessity, chan
ged to meet the interests of our
youth of today. And although
4-H still emphasizes better
farming and home economics
methods, a greater emphasis is
now placed on the Individual 4-H
boy or girl in developing charact
er, citizenship, and a Christian
way of life.
And how does 4-H go about
producing these "blue ribbon"
young people? First of all, there
is the "learn by doing" phase
of 4-H. This is where the
young 4-H’er, starting in the
fifth grade, chooses for himself
a project in which he may be in
terested. Today, there are pro
jects to Interest boys and girls
regardless of where they might
live. In the rural areas there
are projects such as: agronomy,
tractor, beef, dairy, poultry, crop
production, forestry and many
others. Then for the urban boy
or girl there are such projects
as: dog care and training, sew
ing, electronics, health, home
Improvement, cooking, and still
many others. And the project
that must be carried by 4-H’ers
everywhere Is citizenship and
leadership. In this project phase
of 4-H the Individual learns by
doing and maintaining records of
his project. If he is Interested
in competing with other 4-H’ers
In his project, he may want to
develop a demonstration or il
lustrated talk telling other people
how he accomplishes his project.
Competition in the 4-H program
may lead to many rewards from
the awarding of a small medal
or an award card to the dream
of all 4-H’ers—a free trip to the
National 4-H Club Congress in
Chicago and a college scholar
ship.
Another Important phase of the
4-H program is carried out dur
ing the summer in the many and
varied 4-H camps in the state.
During this past summer, I had
the privilege of camping with
4-H’ers at three of our 4-H
camps. We conducted a Senior
Leadership Camp at Camp Wah
sega In the mountains near Dah
lonega. At this camp we stressed
the Importance of these senior
4-H members going back to their
own counties and becoming junior
leaders to the fledgling 4-H’ers
in their communities. These
Seniors were also taught how to
conduct recreational programs,
vespers and inspirational meet
ings, and the Importance of re
cord keeping.
I also accompanied our own
Newton County 4-H’ers when we
spent a week at Camp Chatham,
located right on the beach at
Savannah Beach. This was more
a "fun" camp and we spent many
enjoyable hours surfing and
swimming in the ocean. But it
was educational as well since we
toured the Dixie Crystals Sugar
Refinery, the L'nion-Camp Bag
Company, and took a boat ride
up the Savannah River. We also
visited the Juliet Gordon Low-
Birthplace, where girlscouting’s
founder was born, the Pirate
House, and historic Fort Pulaski.
So you see, that worthwhile re
creation is synonomous with 4-H.
The Rock Eagle 4-H Center
near Eatonton is without a doubt
the 4-H "show place" of the na
tion. Through the dllligent efforts
of dedicated 4-H leaders and the
generosity of friends of 4-H, this
center has been developed into
one of the finest facilities of its
kind to be found anywhere. Its
facilities are enjoyed not only
by 4-H’ers, but by other church,
civic, and youth groups who meet
there periodically throughout the
year. This center can accomodate
1,000 persons at a time, includ
ing housing, feeding, assembly
and recreation. This is the site
of the annual Leadership-
Citizenship Conference for 4-H
delegates from each county in the
state. At this conference those
young adults approaching the vot
ing age learn first-hand about
democracy in action. They also
are privileged to hear in
spirational speeches by outstand
ing people. This past summer,
two of the speakers were Vince
Dooley, Head football coach at
the University of Georgia and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Every state In the nation is
participating In National 4-H Club
Week Hits week, September 24-
October 1, but no state is par
ticipating to a greater degree
than Georgia. And for Newton
Countlans it carries more em
phasis as the 4-H movement was
born here some 60 years ago.
For one thing, according to
Dr. T. L. Walton, 4-H leader
with the University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service,
Georgia has more 4-H members
than any other state. More than
158,000 Georgia boys and girls
are enrolled in the 4-Hprogram,
and last year they carried out
528,609 educational learn-by
doing projects valued at more
than $lO million.
And Dr. Walton added that the
state’s 4-H project picture is
broader and wider in scope to
day than ever before. The youth
program, he said, still includes
the traditional farming and home
making projects, but has been
expanded in recent years to in
clude more science activities.
As examples of this he cited such
projects as electronics, engin
eering, veterinary science, home
management, and automotive
care and safety.
The 4-H leader continued that
the program has been changed
and adapted to meet the needs
Miss Marilyn Vanderbur former
Miss America.
The highlight of the 4-H year
takes place in Atlanta when the
State 4-H Club Congress is held.
4-H’ers who have been District
winners in their projects come
from all corners of the state to
compete for State championships.
Most of those who are State win
ners are awarded an all-expense
paid trip to the National 4-H Club
Congress which Is held in Chicago
in November.
Another phase in our 4-H pro
gram is the development of the
spiritual well-being of the in
dividual 4-H’ers. While the 4-H
Clubs are non-denominational in
nature, 4-H’ers are encouraged
to actively participate in the
churches of their own faith, and
to also participate in vespers
and other inspirational programs
which are a vital part of the 4-H
program. Most 4-H clubs con
duct 4-H Sunday services In their
own community churches during
National 4-H Club Week. Last
Sunday I was Inspired when Iwas
privileged to attend the State 4-H
Sunday service which was held at
the Druid Hills Baptist Church in
Atlanta. There, along with the
State 4-H Officers and represen
tatives of the State 4-H Staff,
I was a guest of Dr. Louie D.
Newton, Pastor of that church.
Following a radio broadcast In
which all of us took part, the
State Officers participated in the
main church service and told of
their accomplishments in 4-H.
And so you see this 4-H leader
has had a busy summer. And why
do I feel that I must devote a
portion of my time in helping to
develop the youth of our state?
Just ask any adult who is, or
has been, active in any type of
youth work and you will have
your answer. We all realize
that the youth of today are the
leaders of our country tomorrow.
Therefore, if we are to assure
that our country will be in good
hands in the future, we must make
available to our young people
all our guidance, wisdom and ex
perience.
Devoting the time that is ne
cessary to achieve these goals
is not always convenient to the
modern adult who these days can
hardly find time to accomplish
the bare essentials of living.
But, when doing something as
Important as working with young
people, you don’t just give the
time when you don’t have any
thing else to do. You arrange
your schedule so that regular
time is devoted to your youth
program. I hope that I can con
tinue to be of service to the
youth of Georgia and especially to
4-H’ers everywhere.
During this National 4-H Club
Week, I salute the 158,000
4’H’ers of Georgia and their
leaders and send them my warm
est greetings.
158,556 Georgia 4-H’ers
Observing National Week
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
of young people wherever they
live. And today the Georgia
4-H Club claims members In
rural farm, rural non-farm, su
burban and urban areas of the
state. In fact, 64,584 urban and
suburban boys and girls are now
Included in the 158,556 enroll
ment. Another 50,556 live in
rural non-farm areas, and the
remaining 43,416 live on farms
and engage in agricultural act
ivities.
Among highlights of the 4-H
Club year in 1965 were: (1)
record participation of 6,284
members In district project ach
ievement meetings; (2) eight nat
ional champions and two sec
tional winners from Georgia at
last year’s National 4-H Con
gress in Chicago; (3) $38,809.50
in college scholarships to de
serving 4-H members in the state
during the previous 12 months;
(4) a week-long camping exper
ience for 10,093 members from
156 counties; and (5) 46,199 total
attendance at educational pro
grams at the Rock Eagle 4-H
Center last year.
Dr. Walton pointed out that
Component construction is the
practice of building a home or
other structure by the part rat
her than the piece.
Sections of floors, walls and
roof are pre-assembled in fac
tories or on the job site in an
effort to reduce the time and
effort required for construction.
All-purpose grading of South
ern Pine has expedited the use
of components, standard fram
ing grades may be utilized for
trussed rafters and other engin
eered devices without special
grading-
