CLAYTON COUNTY 4-H CLUB SECTION
4-H Council Guides
County 4-H Program
By LYNN TRIMBLE, Council President
The Clayton County 4-H Council is composed of the
full executive offices of the twenty-two junior and senior
4-H clubs in the county. All other members and parents
are also invited to attend our meetings, which are usually
held the second Saturday in each month at the Lee Street
Elementary School.
One of the locai 4-H clubs is
in charge of the program at
each meeting. This program
usually consists of a short de
votional and a skit or demon
strations. Four-H members can
build up their leadership records
by participating on the pro
grams.
The council has many respon
sibilities; it guides the overall
county program. One of the
more important duties is the
sponsorship of the County 4-H
Achievement Day and the selec
tion of delegates to attend the
District 4-H Project Achieve
ment Meeting. Each year the
council raises money in various
ways to send the county winners
to District in the project they
have chosen. An annual talent
show and a special edition of
the county paper are two of
these fund-raising events. Some
of the Home Demonstration
clubs throughout the county also
donate to this program.
The council assists in plan-

Busy Hands Make Happy Homes
Four-H boys and girls work eagerly to make their homes
more livable and attractive — and thus contribute to improved
family living standards. They learn by doing and gain skills
of lasting value.
During National 4-H Club W eek, March 4-11 we take this
opportunity to congratulate them on their achievements in
farming, homemaking, character development, leadership
and citizenship.

City Youth, Too,
Find a Place
In 4-H Work
Boys and girls living in cities
and towns are being encour
aged to participate in the 4-H
program, formerly designed for
farm youth. More than 60 per
cent of Clayton County’s 4-H
club members live in towns and
subdivisions, with another 15
per cent being rural non-farm
voungsters. Thus approximately
600 boys and girls, who do not
live on farms, have the oppor-

tunity to receive training
through the 4-H club program.
Girls from all areas find ex
cellent training in homemaking
projects. They include family
life, cooking, home improvement,
sewing, canning and frozen
foods. These skills find quick ap
plication in many urban homes
with crowded schedules and
working mothers.
Boys and girls from urban
areas participate in projects
such as electricity, garden, land
scaping, recreation, entomology
and crafts.
Membership in the 4-H club
is open to any boy or girl in
the county between the ages of
10 and 21.
A total of 146,396 boys and
girls are enrolled in the state
4-H Club program, according to
the annual 4-H Club Report.

Clayton HD Council Helps
And Sponsors Four-H Clubs
By Mrs. B. J. Turner, Immediate Past President of
Clayton County Home Demonstration Council
The 4-H program in Clayton County derives much
benefit from adult sponsorship and cooperation. Foremost
among these adult groups is the Clayton County Home
Demonstration Council and local Home Demonstration
Clubs. The council gave $75.00 to 4-H work in both 1959
and 1960—part of this went to send 4-H’ers to the State
4-H Council and part to defray expenses of those going to
District Meet.
The Fayetteville Road Home
Demonstration Club sponsors a
4-H Club, furnishing three ad
visors, a place to meet, refresh
ments and transportation when
needed. They had a community
tomato project last year.
The Mt. Zion Home Demon
stration Club sponsors a girls’
4-H Club. Mrs. Earl Allen serves
as advisor, with one home dem
onstration club member per
month assisting with the meet
ing. The Mt. Zion club gave the
4-H Club a Christmas party
last year.
East Clayton Home Demon
stration members give support
to the Lucky Clover 4-H Club,
organized and led by Senior 4-H
member Winifred MacAllaster.
Home Demonstration mem
bers serve as judges for 4-H
Achievement Day programs and
assist with other 4-H events.
“Each Home Demonstration
Club to have two or more
trained and functioning 4-H
adult leaders” is one of the goals
of the Home Demonstration
Council’s 1961 program of work.
To help home demonstration
members reach this goal, a
leader training course is sched
uled for early fall.
In these and pfany other ways,
home demonstration members
in Clayton County provide sup
port for the 4-H Club program.
You, too, can help! Each of
us, as home demonstration club
members, could take one or two
4-H Club girls or boys and show
special interest in their 4-H
Club projects. Many of the
members will be preparing for
participation in County 4-H
Achievement Day during the
next month. This would be an
ideal time to give them special
encouragement and assistance.
If you only have time to observe
one project, to pat one 4-H
member on the back, to visit one
school or community club meet
ing, to provide encouragement
to a bewildered 4-H'er when his
project doesn't turn out just
right—these are all important—
and all necessary for keeping
our 4-H program moving suc
cessfully in Clayton County.
In the long run a good dispo
sition is better than good looks.

Wherever you see a 4-H gate sign denoting the home of a 4-H Club member, there you will
find a conscientious citizen—one who has dedicated Head, Heart, Hands and Health to
club, community and country. During 4-H Club week, we salute these boys and girls, men
and women, who arc working together for a better community and a better America.
