NEWTON COUNTY 4-HCouncil spelled out their message with a large
“4-H" in the middle. This is National 4-H Club Week and the ob
servance here is always a highlight of club work for the year. Prof.
G. C. Adams started the 4-H movement in Covington in 1905.
4-H Activity
By Julie Thomas
Different things mean differ
ent answers to everyone. 4-H
also goes under that category.
4-H is my main activity in sc
hool. 4-H to me means co
operation, friendship, and fun.
I will tell you about each.
Cooperation means working
together. In 4-H this is very
important. The clubs work to-

gether to make them what they
are. I am an officer and know
what this means.
Friendship means one’s affec
tion and regard for another. In
4-H friendship is found in clubs,
counties, project meetings, and
camps. I have experienced all
of these at one time or another.
Fun means. . .well, everybody
knows. Fun in 4-H can be found
in anything. One you can find
more in is camping.
Why I Like
4-H Work
By Joyce Hinton
I first entered 4-H because
I like it and the people around
me liked it. I also entered
it because I liked the projects
and knew it would help me a
lot.
I was very shy at first and
entered the cornmeal muffin con
test at school where I won a red
award card. I also made a birth
day cake and the teacher said that
the cake was very good. All
these things helped me to really
love 4-H work.
I cook and keep house for my
mother during the summer. I
have tried recipes in my clover
leaf foods and nutrition manual.
My 4-H housing and equipment
project has helped me to really
grow up. I have been able to
teach my mother some things.
She did not know about taking
care of appliances in the kitch
en.
I almost changed my mind
about 4-H after attending a re
cord book clinic at the REA
Building. It seemed as though
we would have to do so much
work to submit a record book
it was really hard work with
all the writing to do. I have
an eye problem; therefore I do
not write well, so hate having
to keep records. I just didn’t
think I would participate in the
project elimination contest this
year, but because I have learn
ed to like 4-H so much, I th
ought I would try to get my re
cord book ready to turn In. My
second year as a junior mem
ber I will have learned to do a
better job of keeping my re
cords up-to-date.
Also, experimenting with 4-
H clothing I made myself a dr
ess. I liked to so much I want
to take up sewing. I was able

Fair Sets October 7 As 4-H Day
The Georgia 4-H Club, which
has played an important part in
52 previous Southeastern Fairs,
will be very much in evidence
at the 53rd annual event, too.
Continuing through the ten-day
event, 4-H’ers will be on hand
with their exhibits of livestock,
poultry and other competitive
events.
But the final day of the 1967
Fair, Saturday, Oct. 7, has been
set aside as the 4-H’ers’ special
day, according to Dr. T. L. Wal
ton, state 4-H leader with the
University of Georgia Cooper
ative Extension Service.
From Rabum Gap to Tybee
Light, thousands of 4-H boys
and girls will stream to the
fairgrounds for a variety of
special events beginning with an
11 a.m. assembly at the Fair
Center.
Willaim B. Hartsfield, mayor
emeritus of Atlanta and now pres
ident of the Southeastern Fair,
will welcome the Club members,
their parents, volunteer adult
4-H leaders and county Extension
workers, all of whom will be
admitted free on “their day.’’
Dr. Walton said prizes will be
presented to the County 4-H Co
uncil having the most 4-H’ers
in attendance and to the county
group traveling the greatest dis
tance.
The new president of the State
4-H Club Council, Ken Carlton of
Polk County, will preside over
the festivities. Ken will receive

ject I want to keep on with this
project and hope to take differ

4-H Club work. I know that
many things can be learned th

4-H projects.

4-H Has Taught Me
By Angela Smith
I have been in 4-H for three
years. Since I have been in
4-H I have learned many in
teresting and helpful things.
4-H has been a good exper
ience over the past three years.
When I first entered in 4-H
work I was very shy. I was
more shy than most of my fri
ends. When I could give a
demonstration I would forget the
words I was supposed to say.
But through my experiences in
4-H I have learned that you do
not have to memorize word for
word. But just give a summary
of what you have done.
Before I entered 4-H I was
very lazy. I wouldn’t even sweep
a floor for my mother, unless
she made me. But through home
furnishings and art projects I
have learned the importance of
keeping my room neat and clean.
When I first entered 4-H my
project was foods and nutrition.
At first I thought it would be
hard. But 4-H has made cook
ing very simple and easy. When
I was in the fifth grade I made
some oatmeal cookies. Ever
since I made those first cook
ies I have been preparing many
dishes for my family.

Dr. Walton said one of the
major points of interest for the
4-H’ers will be their own 4-H
Club exhibit in the Agriculture
building. The exhibit this year
carries out the space age motif
and has as its theme, "4-H:
Where the Action Is.’’
In the sixth grade I made some
cornmeal muffins. My muffins
were the third best out of our
class. But now lam trying to
improve my cornmeal muffins.
In the sixth grade I entered a
new project-home furnishings
and art. In that project I gave
a demonstration on setting the
table properly.
I won at the county elimina
tion and got a chance to go to
the district. This year lam
going to try harder in my pro
ject of home furnishings and
art. lam going to work hard
on my records and demonstra
tions this year. I hope to be
able to represent my county with
a good score in my home fur
nishings and art project.
4-P has been a very good
experience for me and I am
going to keep on trying hard
to reach my goal and try to
make my best better.

sized serving of watermelon will
supply about one-third of the
Vitamin C needed dally.
