, All campers may have swimming
instructions and free swimming
time each day. Each camper has
a Craft Class in which he makes
things from leather, copper,
wood or other materials fur
nished by the camp.
The Competitive Sports Pro
gram is planned for all age
groups. They enjoy baseball,
softball, volley ball, horse shoes,
relay races and other active
games.
The older 4-H youth, who work
all summer at the camp as coun
selors, help in every phase of
work in the program. County
and Home Demonstration Agents
with their Local Leaders help
with activities of the camp. As
signments are mailed to each
county before camp time so that
each leader may choose the

are very impressive. They are
planned by consecrated young ।
Christians. The imprint of these ।
services on the minds of young ।
people will leave many with the :
desire to live a better life. Copies 1
of beautiful devotionals for each
night have been prepared. They ।
are given to the Agent, Leader
or Counselor in each cabin to be
used just before “Lights out.’’
Nights at camp are the fun
time for most campers. They
look forward to the movies and
folk games with that “special
someone.”
One of the things that best
holds the interest of the young
people is the friendly competi
tion between the Indian Tribes
for the coveted Tribal Shield.
The shield is won by a point sys
tem which encourages obeying

phase of the camp program. It
is presented on the final night
at camp.
Camp life at Camp Wahsega is
wonderful, but things are done
on a much smaller scale. They
enjoy some of the same interest
groups, competitive sports, swim
ming, folk games and movies.
The small camp has some ad
vantages which a large camp
cannot possibly offer. Each
camper gets to know nearly ev
ery other camper there person
ally. The meals are served fam
ily style. This seems to bring
the young people closer together.
The program for the last night
is a time of great hilarity. A skit
or a talent number is presented
by each cabin. If a cabin should
happen to have no one with
talent, they show their initiative
and plan a skit. Last year one
cabin of boys staged a male
beauty contest which was un
forgettable.
At Wahsega 4-H’ers can look
forward to the morning when
they hike over the mountain and
watch the Rangers give their
demonstration on survival.
Some of our Clayton County
4-H’ers have had the opportu
nity of attending Leadership
and Forestry Camp at Camp
Fulton. This is a beautiful and
well-organized camp. We are
fortunate to have it in an ad
joining county.
It would be difficult to say
whether eamp life is more en
joyable at the large or the small
camp. The young people are so
enthusiastic about each camp
that I change my mind every
summer. I believe the program
offered by either camp is one
which brings enrichment to the
life of every boy or girl who at
tends.

tivities.
There are 1066 4-H Club mem
bers in Clayton County so you
can see why local leaders are
needed to help our Extension
Agents, Mrs. Mary K. Singleton
and Mr. Charles S. Tucker, carry
out the 4-H Club program.
Each year thirty or forty club
members from Clayton County
go to District Project Achieve
ment Meeting, so there is a mat
ter of raising money to pay their
expenses. Also, four delegates
are sent to State 4-H Council
each year and their expenses
must be paid. Here is where the
local leaders help to plan ways
and means of raising the money
for these expenses.
Local leaders help club mem
bers get their record books ready
to be judged and help them get
their demonstrations ready for
District Meet. When camp time
comes around local leaders go
along and work with camp
counselors or work in some
phase of the camp program,
such as, outdoor cooking, crafts,
sports, or maybe at the swim
ming pool.
One of the most important
ways a local leader helps is in
the local 4-H Club. Here you
have a chance to work more
closely with the club members.
You learn what projects they
are carrying, what their needs
are, and what you can do to
help. Here, too, you have a
chance to meet the parents of
club members and get better ac
quainted with them, helping
them to become more interested
in their own children’s 4-H ac
tivities. Unless parents encour
age and help a boy or girl, the
chances are small that they will
become good club members. Be
hind most successful and active
club members there is an adult,
and in most cases, parents!
Those of us who work with
4-H Club boys and girls look to
America’s Future with confi
dence, for we know that there
are more than two million young
people whose daily lives uphold
the highest ideals of character
and good citizenship.

through the nineteenth century.
The State of Mississippi is
given credit for the first federal

1907. and some people think this
was the beginning of 4-H Club
work.

tional attention on the part of
leaders and educators. Out-of
school programs in agriculture
and homemaking were organ
ized. These programs, all re
sembling today’s 4-H Clubs, were
not limited to any one state but
were found in many states and
communities.
Four-H Club work officially be
gan in Georgia in 1909 and
Thomas A. Early, a Mississippi
school superintendent, was the
first state agent. He served one
year and was followed by J. Phil
Campbell. Incidentally, Mr.
Campbell is the father of our
own Commissioner of Agricul
ture, J. Phil Campbell, Jr.
In Georgia, club work has
grown by leaps and bounds.
Since its early beginning with
only a few hundred members,
Georgia now has an enrollment
of 148,365. increasing in mem

To All the Citizens of Clayton County
as well as all the people. We do not need our present prison camp. This is one
of our unnecessary expenditures. This money could be gpent for worthwhile
things. We have a new jail bond to pay. Why not handle all our misdemeanor
cases through the Sheriff’s department and let the state handle all other cases?
We are paying taxes for this also.
I am sure we could get all the work that has been done in the past five years
through bids and save enough to have lots better roads, saying nothing for all
the equipment that has been purchased that is not in use.
Please take a look at the financial statement from the County Commissioner’s
office published two weeks ago. The only information given was the fact that we
have about $65,000 surplus, and this excess is uncollected taxes. What kind of
tax? And I fail to see any credit due anyone in this kind of a statement. A
county with over a $1,000,000 budget showing only $16,000 cash on hand and in
banks. Unpaid bills in the amount of approximately $30,000. Within the next
few weeks I will have a complete statement of our county government finan
cial condition published.
If all the people who have expressel their desire of wanting some changes
would vote and support me lam sure of a victory. I have no political record, but
with your vote and help I can help make one.

Thanks, Folks,

for your patience
and understanding
The ice and sleet storm really knocked us for
a loop, tearing down electric wires and caus
ing extensive damage to our distribution sys
tem throughout middle and north Georgia.
All of our line crews were called imme
diately into action, and they worked around
the clock under very hazardous conditions to
repair the damage and restore your service.
Additional help was obtained from neighbor
ing power companies.
The electric service was restored just as
quickly as was humanly possible. We know’
it is not easy to do without electricity even for
a short time, and we sincerely regret the in
convenience caused to our customers by the
unavoidable interruptions to their electric
service. We wish to thank all of you for your
understanding and patience during this emer

J. A. Garner, Jonesboro District Manager
After serious thought and lots of encouragement from the
Clayton County people, I have qualified as a candidate for County
Commissioner, 2nd District, since no one of the other candi
dates has come out with any change or new ideas for the best in
terests of all the people. If elected I can make some improve
ments badly needed.
We need better roads, better schools, better law enforcement,
better cooperation between our county officials. Do away with
the Fulton County tax system, vote for the small businessman,
county program. These youth
groups are sponsored by Home
Demonstration Clubs and pub
lic-spirited leaders. Thus his
tory repeats itself.
